For Celestia, living forever isn't her curse. If immortality only include eternal life, she could handle that. What she can't deal with are the memories, or lack thereof. When her past escapes her day by day as the centuries progress, what will she have left?

Story is dedicated to Nightamarus. Keep on keeping on, dude.

Thanks to my editors Selbi and Trials, along with my prereader Skeeter The Lurker for all their help!

A 7 part project detailing the history of Equestria's forgotten past.
As we saw in the return of Nightmare Moon, the very stars themselves would aid in her escape.
But what, or rather who, were those stars.
How did Celestia harness all six Elements of Harmony herself alone?
Why was Luna banished for 1000 years instead of being cleansed like all the others.
These questions and more are answered in Occultus Canonicus, hidden legacy.

Princess Luna has returned. To many, this is seen as a joyous occasion, but for the Princess of the Night, her reappearance brings only heartbreak. The world Luna once knew is but a thing of the past, lost within the dusty corridors of her mind, while memories of her loved ones haunt her nightmares.

Unbeknownst to Celestia, Luna was with a foal when she was banished, forced to give birth in her lunar exile. Now, centuries later, she has come back, broken and somber, to re-take her rightful position as co-ruler of Equestria.

Her hopes to connect with her subjects fading, Luna finds a growing jealousy festering within herself as she fails to accept the past and make amends with her sister.

No matter the case, a goddess must never show her sorrow.

Twilight's in some pretty deep trouble. It's bad enough that she put on a lot of weight, really let her mane go, and seems to have picked up a bad habit of chewing on anything. No, that really doesn't compare with the claws that have replaced her hooves, the fact that she can stand up to about 25 meters tall, breathes fire, and had an involuntary species reassignment spell cast on her.

Mostly thanks to Trixie, looking for means to prove herself the more powerful of the two, they've both found their ponyhood lacking due to a transformation into dragons by the Bag of Tirek. Worse yet, Trixie has fallen to his corrupting influence, and become his new lieutenant in the world, preparing to release him from his adamantium tomb.

Now, it is up to Twilight and her friends, and anypony else they can drag kicking and screaming into the fight to catch Trixie and save her from her from the taint that has corrupted her, and that threatens to corrupt the world. A tall order, to be sure; but when the odds becomes so great, the fight needs to go big, lest ponykind go extinct.

Rarity tries to save the lives of her friends so she goes back in time to a critical event and changes the outcome. Returning to the present she finds she has succeeded too well and has erased the ponies and the relationships that she held most dear to her. In addition, there is another version of her native to this new timeline. Unable to return to her own, how will Rarity deal with a world she willingly, but unknowingly, created?

Special thanks to Chimpso for editing this pile of grammar waste into something presentable.

Meet Lavender, a rare offspring brought into the world by a loving dragon and a beautiful pony. She is told constantly by her parents that she is a beautiful gift of nature, but she is reminded everyday about just how different she is from the rest of the world. She is going to learn very rapidly how cruel and unforgiving the world can be for anything different from them.

Follow the journey of Spike, Rarity, and their offspring Lavender from birth to adulthood as they try to survive prejudice, natural impulses, and even their relationship between each other.

Someone actually thought this fic was worthy to be in the Twilight Library. Well... if you say so.

This is the story of the real Princess of the Night. Princess Luna, who's just been released from her long term confinement- trapped within her glorious moon, recalls past, uncovering long lost secrets forgotten by everypony but her. How will she respond when she learns that her sister hasn't been entirely truthful about her (Luna's) untimely departure?

Luna's Children of the Night, six colts and six fillies, are forced into a new world- the forgotten mountains. Faced with a new, unexplored and less than friendly world, they have to survive on their own and build a home for themselves, but they're only foals.
