This story is a sequel to Imperial Affairs

A thousand years ago, a War has started. The War that just found a resolution. With Princess Celestia accepting defeat and her new place at the court, and the new Empress forming a reluctant understanding with the Element Bearers; the time has come to move on. Nightmare Moon found herself on the top of the world with no enemies remaining. Ponies reluctantly accept their new leadership, Princess Luna still has a legitimate claim. Little do they know, for their beloved Princess long since ceased having a word on what goes in the court.

This is Cassandra, my OC don't steal. Her interests include having a dark past, saving Twilight when the elements of harmony fail, and being Celestia's long-lost sister. What follows are the adventures, foibles, and shenanigans that the Mane 7 get into. These stories will touch you, spiritually and emotionally; they will make you laugh, make you cry, and hopefully make you love Cassandra as much as I do. I don't want to be too narrow, so even though I can't tag this as both "Adventure" and "Slice of Life" I'm going to try my hand at both of them.

You're probably wondering how I came up with the name "Cassandra." Because while it is a beautiful name on its own, the meaning is deeper. Greek mythology tells of Cassandra, daughter of Priam, who is cursed to see the future, but never have anyone believe her. Consequentially, a "Cassandra" is one who says things that are true, but is largely ignored, either because these truths sound ridiculous, or are too painful to hear. While my Cassandra can't literally see the future (because where's the fun in that?), she still tends to be more perceptive than the others. However due to jealousy or inclination of mistrust, other ponies often disbelieve her. That is why her Element of Harmony is Trust; to represent that she has to learn to put trust in less-intelligent, less-reliable ponies, and that other ponies have to realize they should trust her.

Scarlet Frost has had more than enough death and violence in her life and has spent the last several years living quietly as a librarian and scholar in the New Equestrian city of Swanrun. Sadly, it seems that death and violence are not yet done with her, as she is about to discover.

After a chance encounter, Scarlet is forced to leave her home and flee for her life alongside a mysterious orphan filly named Primrose. Now being hunted across the land she once went to war for, Scarlet will have to use every resource at her disposal just to stay alive. And if she is going to make it through this, she must confront the ghosts of not only her own past, but those of this long-broken world as well.

A special thank you goes out to my editors, Mister Hypothetical and Chromio!

Now with a reading over on YouTube!

I've always been shunned by a lot of ponies because of what I've done in the past. To be fair, most books today depict me as a pony with a sketchy past and, in their defense, there are parts of my past where I'm not too proud of. But, there's more to the story than what's written down and, this time, I'll finally get to reveal to everyone my entire story.

Two of the Young Six have gotten the second call from the map. This time, Smolder and Sandbar are going to the Dragon Lands. Once there, they were surprised to see that the one needing help is Dragon Lord Ember. Not just her, but a king from a certain hive.

The Realm of Twilight is expanding again, this time to an unknown land inhabitated by colorful ponies. One more time the Twilight Princess will need the help of the Hero to save her Kingdom.

In the meantime the strange phenomena is affecting the land of Equestria and Princesses Luna and Celestia will ask for the help of the Mane 6 to save it.

Hardships, trials, strife. These are part of things we call life. And in this giant whirlwind of life, there are the little that we so hardly notice. It's the fore-front we see, not the back-ground. Until unbidden secrets and past actions come back to haunt us, whether we've done them wrong or not. I'm sure this is a story you've heard before.

It's scary, really, when one thinks about how a loved one can change so much in so little time. How when one sees a friend, a sister, or mother go from loving to stone-cold within the span of just a few years. It's scary how deeply words can scar us, even when we never let it show. How actions speak of who we are, no matter how we go about them. And how the past will always be there, lurking in the backs of our minds. The past came back to haunt them. To shred them. To bury them, using just a few tools. Jealousy, miscommunication, oversight, gossip, to name a few.

After all, only one in a million receive tutelage under one and only ruler of the known world on Equus. And how much envy and rumors would this cause? How many would try to ruin her? How many would kill her for that spot? And many times can one's heart be broken before it refuses to fixed? How many times can a friendship be broken before it can't be healed, no matter how thick that bandage is?

Princess Twilight has always struggled to make time for her family and friends. To maintain her friendship with her sisters in harmony. And even after a few years of being in royalty, she succeeds. But one session of gala planning could ruin all that. After lost feathers, a broken bridge, a few spoken words, missing marks, a sacrifice made via magic, and an evil seed planted in one heart, the girls find themselves behind closed iron bars. Unhindered, their anger begins to grow, directed at the one who earned her crown only three years ago.

How far is the daughter of a supposed lost kingdom willing to go to save her friends after years of torture and conflict? How deep is that pain going to dig, leaving no room in her heart for others? How many innocents is the Element of Magic itself going to hurt in order to keep her secret? And how long is that shadow going to linger in the corners of one's mind?

And how did six constantly fighting siblings get in the mix of all of this?

This can't possibly end well.
