More than a thousand years ago Luna was not a princess. She was a wandering warrior, strong and proud. And she had good cause to be, for who in all the world could ever defeat her? But when a drunken bet causes her to venture into Tartarus, she will learn that even the most powerful can be brought low.

Twilight has a problem on her hooves. An hour before Celestia was supposed to come to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration, she's accidentally gone and killed everyone dead. As in, "dead as a doornail" dead. Now she's got to fix it before Celestia shows up and finds out.

Or, at the very least, make sure that Celestia doesn't know that they're dead.

Blame Blueshift for this.
Now with a sequel!

Princess Celestia always had a surprisingly playful character. Of late, though, her pranks have crossed the line. She's now actually enjoying spreading chaos amongst her subjects. Is she becoming evil? Luna must uncover the truth and try to stop her somehow before it's too late.

My first fanfic. Yay!

Luna is no stranger to fighting darkness - both within and without. But when a new predator arises in the dreaming realm, she must fight like never before.

When the abyss gazes also into you, you can't afford to blink first.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders have run out of ideas, so they go monster hunting!

With Princess Celestia and Princess Luna happily accompanying them into the Everfree Forest, what could possibly go wrong?

Well, it's surprising.

Twilight Sparkle has too much magic, and it will take her decades to learn to control it. Her spectacular loss of control during her entrance exam only proves that fact. She is a danger to herself and others.

After Sunset Shimmer’s disappearance, Princess Celestia needs a new student to bear The Element of Magic to defeat Nightmare Moon. With all of Equestria at stake, Twilight Sparkle…is not the pony she needs.

Princess Celestia seals Twilight Sparkle’s magic with the distant promise of one day teaching her.

But there are two diarchs of Equestria. Amidst a lucid dream, an offer is made.

“Hello, Twilight. Would you like to be my student?”

Cover art provided by Lafiir.

An ancient civilization vanishes without a trace. Who were they? What were they? Why did they disappear? Celestia's oldest friend sends her a letter that shocks her to the core and Twilight Sparkle is sent on a journey that will test the limits of endurance as she races against time to fulfill a plan thousands of years in the making.

From high mountain peaks to icy tundra plains. From jungles and forests to deserts without end. Will they make it through the endless stream of challenges? Will they defeat this menace from ages past? What will be the price of victory?

Princess Luna is not only the Princess of the Night, but also the princess of dreams. However, her unnatural habits can cause much irony in her. When she gets caught in her own dream, it becomes reality after the Discord in her dream decides to knot things up.

While everything seems normal and fine at first, Luna becomes more alarmed and uncanny when she begins to see enemies spawning all over the castle. And as the mother of Tantabus warrior of the night, she must do whatever it takes to protect her subjects from the forces of evil, no matter what.

Fortunately, they are not what Luna perceived them to be.
