It was a pleasant summer day, when the Behemoth came to Canterlot. The air was clear, and the Sun shone bright. Everyone in Equestria who'd been there at the time remembered that day, and they all remembered it like that. And not a single one could ever forget the day when the Behemoth came to Canterlot, and everything changed.

Twilight has had nightmares in the past. It's not something she isn't familiar with, and she's even done quite a bit of research on the topic. And she knows better than almost anypony else what a nightmare can and can't be, and how it can or can't hurt her. Still, sometimes, some dreams do feel different. The cold feels just a little more real on her skin than usual, the images a little more vivid. But it's just a dream, right?

The Everfree Forest is far from the first place you'd consider while deciding on where to go camping. Still, there are some who seek out the thrill of spending the night in a dangerous place like it, and others who simply happen to get dragged along. But there are reasons to avoid the forest, reasons the citizens of Ponyville might not tell you about.

Twilight didn't ask for her consciousness to be ripped from her mortal frame as her world was torn asunder, only to be forced into manifesting onto an ethereal plane as the all-seeing avatar of Logic and Magic. In fact, she didn't really get any sort of say in the matter. But Pinkie got there too, so that was at least something.

Sassy knew she was mostly there just to cover for Rarity's absence. Still, she hoped she could do a proper job helping Twilight on her diplomatic mission to the capital of the minotaur lands. It was a first, after all, it was important that everything went well. The trip, it seemed, had other plans for her.

Equestria has been brought to its knees. Monsters of all kinds flood every city, the world itself seems to be on the verge of complete collapse, and every pony is trapped by the physical manifestation of their own deepest, most inner terrors and nightmares.

But it's Hearth's Warming, and Rarity's got gifts to give. And she won't let something as mundane as the end of the world get in her way. Time to panic will have to come later.

Defeated. Humiliated. Reduced to a mere shadow. But Sombra hadn't been as careless as the time before. He'd taken precautions, set up ways to recover. One such way being the little alicorn residing in the Crystal Empire.

Now he finally has his chance to return. He just needs to convince Flurry Heart to go along with his plan, and soon he will rule over the land once more.

If he can survive through the holidays, at least.

The Storm King was defeated. He was turned to stone, and his body was shattered. But it's not over just yet. He has servants, still loyal to him, roaming over Equestria. Soon, the remains of his body will be gathered. He shall be whole again, and ponies will cower before his name once more. Soon. Very soon. Any day now.

Twilight had no idea of where the door had come from. It was there, and that was a fact. When it was there, at least, which wasn't always the case. But she would find out what was behind it sooner or later. It was just a matter of time. The door was always there, after all.

It was a warm, sunny day, right in the heart of summer. Applejack and Rainbow Dash had chosen to have a walk in the countryside together, spending the afternoon out with just each other. The Sun was high and the sky was clear, but things were rather comfortable, as a gentle breeze was blowing through the fields.

And it was all going so well, until they got to that tree.
