In the magical world of Equestria, it never snows. It never rains, never falls to night. But for one day, I just can't help but break the norm.

Canon within my Sky-Verse. Prior knowledge is not required.

This story was written for a contest. I'd recommend checking out the other entries, because they're all really cool.

The asylum is abuzz with the whispers of the sick and mentally impaired, as it has been for hundreds of years. "Protect the prince," they whispered. "Find the magic," they whispered. "Use the Elements," they whispered.

When a new, especially unusual phrase is added to the list of centuries old delusions, the genius prodigy of the Queen, Twilight Sparkle, takes it upon herself to investigate. However, the Queen's response to her findings send her reeling across half the country, hiding from her mentor's rage by following the vague instructions from the dreams of crazy ponies. Confusing answers only reveal more twisted questions as Twilight tries to save herself, four special ponies, and-- to her sanity's shame-- a dragon that somehow breathes green flames. The only thing keeping her going is her original quest, an insane command that she'd die to fulfill.

"Return the gentle Moon on the night of the scorching Sun."

Basis of the Sky-Verse.

Each of the Mane Six will be present, but Twilight Sparkle is still the main character. Rainbow Dash is also a very important character, and I will not go into specifics as to which Wonderbolts will be present. There is, after all, a limit to the amount of character tags. They may be subject to change, but it'll probably stay the same.

I have no clue where this idea came from, and it's probably ridiculously overdone on this site, but I hope you enjoy it anyways. As always, if you find anything you dislike or like, please let me know through a comment or a PM. All constructive criticism is welcome!

Beautiful new cover art drawn by the lovely Eztp (2135D on here). A billion thanks to you!

Please note that I will be modeling the asylum mostly off seventeenth century lunatic asylums.

Every night, shunned and on her own, Luna watches the moon. Little more than a cold silhouette to the mortal lives on the ground below, she watches over Equestria in her own way. Despite her misery, she will not give up her post.

Rated "Teen" for suicidal themes.

Written for the Weekly Contests Prompt #10, though the idea had come a while before that. Original cover art by LethalAuroraMage. All credits go to her.

Unfortunately, since I deleted the old story, all comments were deleted. I apologize for the inconvenience, and I hope I won't discover that I need to rewrite the whole thing again. There were parts that were left alone, but a lot of changes were made.

Vinyl Scratch and Octavia Melody have a fight about Vinyl's obsession with music. Vinyl unexpectedly finds solace in the calm beats of the Rocking Boulders-- plus two friends.

Written for the Weekly Contests' Eighth Prompt: Rainbow Rocks. (Second place winner) Cover art by miyako47.

Everyone knows that the High Lady has a younger sister-- Luna Selene, Lady of War. What is unknown, however, is that they once had an even younger sister, Kali Nyx. The day after her eight hundredth birthday, one thousand years ago, she ran away in a fit of rage and jealousy after a failed rebellion. Over the millennia, her name was forgotten from the minds of the citizens- but not from her sisters'. And now that she has regained her strength and laid her traps, she will return from the shadows to claim what should have been hers all along. The only person stopping her is Lady Luna, but even she has her weakness... and it is the same as the Lady of Shadow's.

--Being rewritten--

Kali Nyx is a name I came up with for Nightmare Moon. Kali is a Hindu goddess of death and rebirth, and Nyx is the Greek personification of the night. Kali is also the fierce aspect of the goddess Durga, who is often associated with the god Rahu, who is the Hindu god of darkness and eclipse. Selene was the Greek goddess of the moon. If I have something wrong with this or it doesn't sound good, please tell me so that I can fix it.

Rated teen for a mildly bloody battle scene. Nothing more.

The cover art is by Bakki on DeviantArt. It is what gave me this idea.

I am currently rewriting this story. Thank you to to spideremblembrony for pointing out the problems with it.

Shattered Shadow is a skilled racer, but even she has difficulties adjusting to a new teammate. This is why she is so thrilled when she and her partner win their first race together... or, rather, why she should be thrilled.

This story is dedicated to my retired horse Dolly.

Rated teen for implied suicide.

If you dislike something about this story, please tell me so that I can fix it. All constructive criticism is welcome, and feel free to comment and say whatever you thought about this.

Cover art does not belong to me. SagebrushPony on Deviant Art drew it.

The first four chapters of this story were written by UniqueSKD. All credit goes to him for those chapters, and for the idea. I do not know who drew the cover art, but it does not belong to me.

You know as well as any other that the world of Equestria thrives on the principles of Friendship, and the Magic that comes from such a bond.

So let's take that world away from somepony, and show them what life is like when the Magic and Friendship is gone, no more than a silly little make-believe word frowned upon by adults with common sense.

Somepony's about to live life in a different Equestria, with our reality.

Because the dream can't last forever...

This story is currently on hiatus while I figure out what to do with it.

I worked my whole life to stop this from happening. Yet here I am, hidden in the shadows, rain mingling with the tears running down my face. And I'm helpless to stop it.

Each chapter is a different sad story about one of the main characters. PLEASE NOTE THAT THEY ARE NOT LINKED.This is my first Fimfic story, so if you find anything at all wrong with it, tell me in the comments section or PM me. All constructive criticism is welcome.
