Ten years ago, Twilight made the ultimate sacrifice in order to defeat Tirek. Equestria has been in a state of civil war ever since.

Canterlot has at last fallen, and the six heroes of the rebellion now go to face the ultimate challenge: defeating the godlike Twilight Sparkle. What they expect to be a brutal, hard won quest for glory and Equestria's salvation turns into something entirely different... and now they face a choice.

This story is a reaction piece against the Tyrant Sparkle trope.

After the attack of the Changelings, life in Equestria eventually went back to normal. Celestia, afraid for her subjects, desides to ban magic throughout all of Equestria. This causes chaos in all of the land, and causes defiance among the people.

This is my first fanfic I've written, so I apologize if the characters' personalities don't perfectly match with canon personalities. I will try to get better, and I hope you see that. Enjoy!

Nopony chose this life for me.

I wander the open roads, weathering rain, sleet, snow, and wind. I stop at towns along the way, give a short performance, and then leave. Why do I do this? Is it because I have something to prove? Am I running from a forgotten past, always looking over my shoulder? Do I have something to hide?

Or maybe, just maybe, is it because I simply like the open road?

After becoming an alicorn, Twilight heads to the Canterlot Library for information about what she has become. What she finds is a confusing pile of myths and contradictions. To get her answers she will have to hear the truth from Luna and Celestia themselves.

Celestia fails to save Equestria after Nightmare Moon's encounter. Ever since then, Celestia was nowhere to be seen. A thousand years has passed. A pony named Twilight Sparkle, a captain of the royal knights finds a book about the elements of harmony and the 2 princesses who ruled this land together. She chooses to find where Princess Celestia has disappeared to and save the corrupted princess.

((Twilight is not an alicorn here, she does not have wings.)

Trixie returns to her home town of Hoofington at request of her brother. Her journey through town back towards her old home sparks memories of a time long past.

This story is a sequel to Guessing Games, or, How Many Changelings Fit In A Breadbox?

A shield has appeared over Canterlot and the sun hasn't risen. Twilight Sparkle, Trixie Lulamoon, and Sunset Shimmer, must find and destroy the cause of the shield, or the sun may never rise again. But when facing an unknown enemy, which assumptions are correct and which may prove fatal?

Thank you for your patience and support!

Twilight looked over to her dear mentor, Princess Celestia, and found she had once again fallen asleep mid-lesson. Her intense debate on awakening the princess was cut short when the decision was taken out of her hooves.

“Huh? Oh. Twilight, I am so sorry for falling asleep again. I think we need to reschedule this for tomorrow morning.”

Twilight nodded. After all, Princess Celestia was obviously overworked. If only there was something she could do to help.

Twilight takes justice into her own hooves, and enacts it on the enemies whom never really payed a price for their actions.

Tirek is in Tartarus, and Twilight has a certain power of his.

She must gain power to carry out this task. When she does, her enemies will know her wrath. But, is this really justice? Will the young Princess stop at her enemies, or will her rage run much deeper?

Rated Teen for Violence and light gore.

Everyone knows of Twilight Sparkle, personal student to the princess of the sun, and element of magic. She has friends, family, and above all, hope.
However, Twilight Sparkle doesn't exist. In fact, Equestria doesn't exist either. All it is and will ever be is a figment of my imagination. Simply a way to live out the rest of my days with a slight measure of happiness. I am not her, but I would give my horn to be her for but a single day. To have everything, and yet not realise how lucky you are to have such things, to live.
What I am doing right now is not living, this is waiting for death.
