Beset by signs of a great evil approaching on the horizon, Princess Luna and a young unicorn who speaks to the stars set out to uncover and prevent an unknown disaster.

Star Swirl the Bearded: the greatest wizard nopony has ever heard of. Why is that? What did he do? Why do so few now remember that he existed at all, and why do those who do remember him say he was one of the most important unicorns of all time?

Prequel to a more popular and completed sequel, The Education of Clover the Clever. Feel free to read either one first.

"I can't believe I overlooked something as simple as feathers. It's no wonder you were having trouble. I wish I had more 'dragonish' knowledge to give you..."

Those words will have far reaching consequences when Twilight took those words to heart and contacted the one dragon that she thought could help: Dragon Lord Ember. Whom she sends will shake the very foundations of history and magic.

New cover as of 9/22/23
Also how the hey did this get featured? (9/18/22)

Twilight Sparkle, now a princess of dusk and dawn. She has been loyal princess for five years, and princesses Celestia and Luna have agreed that it's time for her to learn about the dark history of their world. What will they show her? What about Discord, will he know anything about it?

Maybe not connected to my other stories, or maybe it is. You can decide if you want the history of Equestria to be like this.

DARK for the dark theme, totally SFW.

Sunburst was the official crystaler. It was his job to help care for the young princess, and he had grown used to and even enjoyed the task. It was a pity, if one asked Flurry Heart, that he lacked a little trait that'd make him the best foalsitter.

Spoiler Traits: TG/Transgender

Cadance always wanted a sister. She just didn't expect it to involve so many angry cultists with plans to get rid of her. The young princess must face her dark reflection. Could only one of them escape? There were better solutions...

Done for a dear patron. We'll start in the month of rushes! Then slow down to 1/week updates.

Let's face it: I have way too many ideas and way too little time to write them all. So! I will put all my half baked ideas in short form here, and if it inspires others to write their own takes? All is well!

If it just makes you laugh, cry or think? Also good!

And if it's just 'meh', that's fine too.

Enjoy!

EDIT: Featured already?! Wow! Thanks guys!

Five humans fell through the barrier between two worlds, straight into the clutches of King Sombra. Forced to drink from a mystical teapot, their bodies transformed into beasts he could use. With his helmets in place he now commands them:

The Yak with brutish strength, the Unicorn and his piercing spells, the Thestral who stalks the night battlefields, and the Dragon that rains down fire on those who oppose their Great King. All four now loyal soldiers.

But what of the fifth? What happened to the last human in the group and why does he not fight alongside the others?

Warnings:
- The death and gore tags relate to particular moments that are more implied than seen and described.
- Darker themes are usually in, but not exclusive to, the main story arcs.
- There is also minor talk of suicide in a very short part, so I have added the tag just to be safe.
- Contains themes regarding gender identity and dysphoria which play out over the course of the entire story.

As before, this may need to change rating from Teen to Mature.

Cover art is by the very talented Mix-up.

Um, apparently this made the featured list on January 15th 2020... Thank you all so much!

From the back cover of Daring Do and the Return of King Kookaracha by A.K. Yearling:

Given that this is a spin-off of VDrake77's The Changeling of the Guard, reading said story is highly recommended for both context and entertainment, though not strictly necessary in order to understand what is going on.
