This is not part of the May Pairing Event of 2023, though I did get the idea from it. I wanted to try my hand at making something odd.

Overworked and exhausted at the never-ending struggle against nightmares, Princess Luna shirks her solemn duty for some solace. She heads to the Ponyville outskirts where a vast grassland waits for her there; a place where she can clear her head from all of the troubles that stem from her demanding job.

While taking in the tranquil plain, Princess Luna is suddenly joined by Maud, the eldest of the Pie Sisters.

Skyjack is a stallion that is thrown into a dull and dank area inundated with water, one he must escape from if he is to survive, but as he struggles onward, something pursues him without relent; it threatens to take him deep into the stagnated waters.

Skyjack doesn't know how or why he was there, but all he knew is that if the creature manages to take him, he will never see the light of day ever again.

Luckily for Skyjack, he will not be alone in this endeavor, as a pony princess will attempt to guide him to safety.

A young stallion of no renown gets caught in a horrible accident that takes him to a land far different than he knew. There, the stallion trudges silently while being guided by an entity that will help him reclaim what he has lost and hopefully return the stallion from where he came.

This story is a sequel to The Adventures of Flare Brimstone

(It ain't required for you to read the first story before jumping into this one.)

While taking a day off from work to run her shop in Ponyville, Flare Brimstone has Twilight Sparkle, Ponyville's resident princess, enter her shop for more stories about the items strung up in her shop, particularly the odder and bizarre ones. She asks politely to be brought to the back of the shop and Flare Brimstone obliges the alicorn to see the bat pony's more... interesting finds.

This story is a sequel to March on, Trixie

A stallion that little ponies can speak of is traveling through a thick forest when he hears the incoherent ramblings of somepony and goes to investigate. What he uncovers is the changeling queen Chrysalis, an evildoer most of the equestrians know, speaking crazily to photos of multiple ponies she seemed to have a grudge against.

Drawing attention by announcing himself, the stallion attempts to reconcile the deranged queen by giving her the option to take a different path.

An unknown stallion of no notoriety comes into contact with a wagon that had seen better days, and the mare who owned the broken wagon. He's seen, and heard, of this mare before and her accolades as a sort of performer. But he noticed she wasn't doing so well. The stallion decides to present himself to her and attempt to get the mare back on her hooves.

Something bad happened. A pony was slain, by a fool. He never once questioned his loyalty aloud, only in his troubled mind. The aftermath of that death caused him to escape the righteous fury of the royal guards, taking refuge near a lake on the edge of Equestrian territory.

There he sits and ponders his actions and wonders what should become of him. Whilst attempting to come to terms with what had happened, he is found and confronted by Princess Celestia.

He expected a reckoning for his disloyalty, but he got something else entirely. Maybe this is the right choice.

Once upon a time, there was a nameless, neglected colt running away amidst a grueling storm of snow. He wanted to be away from everything, away from those who hurt him; they were heartless liars and selfish fools. He didn't care where he went or if he died, for in his mind there was nothing left to live for.

He believed that love doesn't exist. Luckily for him, he was about to be proven wrong.

After a wonderous flight around the Ponyville airspace leads Rainbow Dash to peruse the marketplace for anything that was just as awesome as she is, she comes across the brother of her best friend Fluttershy, Zephyr Breeze, a stallion she wanted as much to do with as being grounded from flying.

However, the multi-colored mare spotted that something was bothering the errant stallion, and as much as she dislikes him, he was Fluttershy's brother, and she didn't like to see him all... whatever that was plastered across his face, so she heads over to see what the problem was. Besides, the mare was sure that her very presence will knock the funk out of the stallion and bring him back to his usual insufferable self.

Little did she know that something was wrong with Zephyr, something very wrong.

In Equestria, there is danger and peril just like anywhere else, but it's usually harmless, and scarcely would it be terrible. One day, while having a vacation at the Celestialside Resort, a stallion named Harrow is caught on the wrong side of fate as his life comes crashing down when he witnessed his family being ripped away before his eyes.

He saw who did it and he desired vengeance. His anger, his hate, his rage, and his pain, stemmed from this careless monster: It was time to get revenge, no matter how long it would take or how far.

When he is presented with the sublime opportunity to truly have a chance to exact revenge on the murderous creature, would he go through with it? And what would happen after? What would become of him then if he had the opportunity?

Witness the final days of this broken angel's journey.
