Shining Armor once went to war. His body is back, but he is not.

It's the end, the war has been lost. The simultaneous return of Sombra and Chrysalis has been too much for Equestria and my little ponies. There is but on thing I can do now. I pray it works.

Princess Luna keeps much to herself. Not even her sister knows the truth lurking in the depths in her heavy heart. She puts in ink what she never could in words.

Werner is a new employee of Securis Bodyguard Services, a personal protection company authorized to operate in Equestria. A twist of fate leads him into the heart of a mystery.

You are one of the undead, a cursed being leading a doomed existence in a downward spiral of decay, misery, and death.

For Memorial Day 2015

Some holidays are for happiness. Some holidays are for relaxation. Some holidays are to appreciate. But there is only one holiday to grieve. To some, that holiday means more than others.

Bigger than a mountain, fire hotter than Celestia's sun, teeth sharper than surgical blades, and a memory longer than history, one-eyed Barrakan the White was a dragon whom legend says made all of Canterlot tremble at his might. At least he's just a story, right?

Trade delegation, is that what they're calling it now? Princess Celestia is sending us to the north on a mission to meet with a legendary empire out of myths as old as Equestria. Between ourselves, we have a neurotic princess, a kid, a heavily armed kid, and a guy who really just wants to go home, and yet, on we march, not knowing where we go or what we're really doing in lands where blood flows more freely than water. It could be worse, though. They could have business with us.
