(I couldn't find a better picture of Zipp in royal regalia)

Many moons have passed since Opaline's defeat. In that time, Queen Haven abdicated her throne, passing the crown to Zipp Storm. As ruler, she reaches out to the griffon kingdom, in order to reforge international relationships. However, due to ponies' tendency to split up by race, the griffon king wants nothing to do with them. But Zipp can't give in.

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt Zipp/Persistence.

This story is a sequel to In the Dark of the Night

Sequel to Not Good Enough and In the Dark of the Night.

Zipp has slowly began to recover from her downward spiral as “Queen Zipp.” However that recovery is soon put to the test when a newly freed Misty surrenders herself to Queen Haven, admitting to her crimes against her oldest daughter.

Now with little support for the unicorn, not even from the rest of the Royal Family, Zipp has a choice to make.

Will she forgive Misty and defend her, or will grudges and vengeance decide the fate of the guilty?

Generations ago, the Sliver of Darkness was sealed away by Twilight Sparkle. Now, it has resurfaced in modern Equestria, bringing unparalleled darkness with it. Bridlewood has been laid to siege. Zephyr Heights guards a dying pegasus. And Maretime Bay swirls with a dark power unlike any seen before.

Corrupted by the Sliver of Darkness, Sunny Starscout is unrecognizable as the mare who united Equestria. Now calling herself "Eclipse," this new threat will stop at nothing to gain the power she needs to destroy everything her friends hold dear.

Sunny’s lantern goes missing again, and this time it’s not Misty behind it. Sunny is left broken, confusing the others until she explains the lantern’s importance to her. This leads to the others talking about objects important to them.

Note : You do not have to read the previous stories to enjoy this one but it will make the read much more fun...I promise.

Venti Anemo Breeze is Queen Haven's most elite guard. Which is why she sent him to protect Princess Zipp. I mean it is not like Queen Haven has ulterior motives...right ? Maybe she's bored. Being a queen of a kingdom can get boring.

Sleep usually meant a lot of things;

Sleep is what helps one regenerate lost energy. Sleep can relieve stress, letting the body unwind and go into a maximum level of relaxation. 

But sometimes, sleep could encourage the opposite. In some unfortunate cases, sleep can bring unsettling events. 

Nightmares. 

When experiencing these, one can feel helpless, stressed, and have a loss of control in the situation that they are in. This eventually leads to the body forcing the individual to wake up after a certain level of stress is brought on to them. 

For Zipp, it has continued to haunt her. 

Frustrated, and exhausted, Zipp has no choice but to hope that her dreams fade away.

It's Mare's Day in Zephyr Heights, and after having missed out last year Pipp and Zipp are keen to make this year extra special. However, when Alphabittle suddenly shows up Queen Haven is forced to have a rather frank conversation with her daughters about relationships, loss, and starting anew.

An attempt to expand on some of the themes explored in the Tell your Tale short Mare Family, Mare Problems. Inspired partly by this blogpost by Mica.

Note: Cover art is from A New Generation, as I couldn't find a TYT screenshot that fitted the story's themes.

It's been a long while since you've come to Equestria. You've made good friends with Sunny and her six friends so far while everypony else seemed to tolerate you for the most part. But Zipp was always the one pony you hung out with the most.

However, when you and she go down to Maretime Bay's beach and watch the sunset after a long day of chilling in the water, she asks you something that would lead to something you'd never expect.
