There comes a time when ponies yearn for home. As rebellious teenagers, ponies think they are invincible and want nothing more than independence on their side. But as ponies go out into the world and experience what it is like, the sensation of independence dulls. Alpine Shield has experienced that feeling more than he would like to admit. He knows when to follow his gut and when to do the right thing. The only thing left for him to do is go back to the place where his journey began.

Yggdrasil is a giant mythical tree of Norse Mythology. It binds the nine realms of Norse Mythology together in a kind of interconnectedness. Although each realm controls a certain quality or trait, they all rely on one another to function properly.

This story is also a contest entry for Scribblefest 2018.

It seems like every year Princess Celestia has a 'mid-life crisis' that plagues her terribly. A night where she locks herself in her room and thinks hard about her life's choices. With nothing but a bottle of the finest wine and her dangerous mind, she delves into the more darker reaches of her thoughts. And each year since her sister, Luna, returned, Celestia only gets worse.

Hearth's Warming is a time of rekindling the fires of friendships and family, to remind others of the story of how Equestria came to pass. To be grateful. But not everyone is so fortunate in times of abundant joy where their life is cruel and uncertain. Eileen works with the shadows in her favor, always there when things go bump in the night. Purposely avoiding the ponies of Equestria but ever prevalent as a rumored shadow. Even the strongest-willed can falter, and Eileen finds that it is happening again in its endless yearly routine. Yet, to her surprise, there remains a small spark of hope within the scarring holiday.

This story is a crossover from a game called Bloodborne and features an NPC called Eileen the Crow. A twisted and dark game that tests the boundaries of human sanity. I have not written a crossover but I always loved the game and I still do. So I wanted to do something different, even if this particular crossover does seem—in my mind—a little bit strange or out of place given the situation.

A pegasus named Cloud Strider has traveled years ever since he was cursed by Nightmare Moon's corrupting soul. Growing up in Norway all of his life had strengthened his resolve, teaching him self-reliance and determination as a Norsepony. He never expected that everything he learned and believed in would be put to the ultimate test of resolve.

This is the first story I have created ever since I found out that writing stories are really fun. Unfortunately, I did not know where the story was going so I spent four years writing my story on paper. I've tried to make this as good as I possibly can, so I hope whoever reads this will enjoy it. Even though it's been four years, I'm still making changes on chapters to come.

Disclaimer: There is adult language as well as bloody scenarios far and wide between (There really isn't a lot of it). I also would like to note that I do not use words such as "somepony" or replace swear words such as "buck" and so on.
