The kingdom of Whitefall, a long-standing bastion to the east of what is now modern day Equestria. Founded eons before the rise and rule of the alicorn sisters, Whitefall was a proud kingdom, ruled by a succession of benevolent monarchs. But dark forces conspire to bring down the monarchy and reduce Whitefall to ruins.

This story is heavily inspired by the lyrics of the song 'Viva la Vida' by Coldplay, with chapter titles taken from lyrics. The chapters will be ordered according to lyrics, and as such will not be in chronological order. To clarify where in the timeline different chapters fall, the story is separated into four rough eras; the Age of Benevolence, the Age of Descent, the Age of Tyranny, and the Age of Rebirth. Each section will clearly state which era it falls in.

Most of the story will be told from King Juras' point of view, however, some sections will come from other points of view.

I hope you enjoy.

It is after the End War. Balance has been returned to the Three Kingdoms, and humanity has been restored. But what of the Horsemen? There is no need of such a force now, and many are reluctant to leave them free to roam without the Charred Council controlling them. But what to do with them? A decision is reached to send them to Equestria, a world that has, until now, been protected from the problems that face other worlds. However, the presence of newly discovered gateways to this pristine world threatens that tranquility. The Horsemen will have to help defend this innocent world, despite their own personal feelings about it

This story is separate from my other stories, though certain OCs may appear in other stories. As I have yet to play Darksiders 2, and have not read the published book or the comics, the personalities of the Horsemen may differ somewhat, though hopefully not too much. Enjoy

Monsters, forbidden magic, and ancient secrets better left forgotten litter the world, the detritus of terrible wars from dark years long before the founding of Equestria. However, when Rainbow Dash crash-lands in a long-abandoned shrine deep within the Everfree forest she stumbles across secrets that should have remained buried, and the mysterious 'Order'.

Rainbow Dash must now deal with the consequences of her actions and mistakes, while the Order's secret war looms overhead and threatens the peace Equestria has enjoyed for a thousand years.

This story takes place near the end of Season 3, but before Discord's reformation.

Octavia seems to have everything. A mare who she loves to pieces, a nice apartment in Canterlot, regular concerts for her to ply her craft, not to mention Vinyl helping her enjoy Canterlot's night-life. However, not everything is perfect. Beyond the, by comparison, mundane concerns of hiding their relationship from everyone, baring those closest to them, Octavia's dark secrets and darker past threaten to rear their heads at every corner, and her continued relationship with Vinyl puts the DJ at constant risk

Well, here's my first MLP fanfic. I have written fanfics before, but this is my first crack at ponies. I apologise beforehand for poor writing, and hope you enjoy it regardless. I am open to constructive criticism, so please, if you feel I need to improve in any areas, let me know

EDIT: The story know has a very different dynamic, due to initial similarities with other stories on this site, as well as a need to slow the story down. The plot, however, will remain very much the same, but with reversed character roles
