This story is a sequel to Urban Wilds

Amanita. Quiet. Awkwardly self-conscious. Necromancer. Reformed. Newly hired by the Royal Guard and the apple of its eye. How could she not be? She’s a peerless expert when it comes to necromancy. But only because she’s the only pony with any knowledge of necromancy beyond the basics, she tells herself. She needs to be more than just a static source of knowledge; she also needs to apply that knowledge, to expand her mind. She can’t live her whole life in a lab. She needs experience out in the field.

Which is how she finds herself assigned to a ley purification team. There’s something wrong with a ley line. It’s not immediately dangerous, but if left alone, it could corrupt the land, killing crops and creating monsters. Amanita is part of a small crew that will head to the line’s source, the small mining town of Tratonmane, to identify and correct the problem. Fortunately, ley purification is a well-known science. It’ll be easy.

At least, that’s the idea. Far to the north, swathed in frost and snow, walled in by vertiginous mountains, Tratonmane is as isolated as can be. Miners and subsistence farmers eke out a living in what little land they have. Ravenous wolves stalk the forest at its border. Whispers abound at the team’s arrival. Tratonmane has existed outside the Crown’s influence for centuries and many of the townsfolk don’t appreciate it sticking its nose in now. Especially since no town lasts for that long without getting a few skeletons in its closets. Amanita and her team will have to navigate hostile environments — personal and terrestrial alike — if they want to get to the bottom of this.

For if they don’t, heads will roll. Perhaps literally.

Nothing a necromancer can’t fix.

Despite moving out and landing a pretty good job as a cook at an upscale restaurant he feels; out of place. The sense of displacement doesn't last too long though. One run in with an interesting old man however changes his relatively boring life and immediately flips it on its head. He wakes up in foreign land with magic he doesn't understand how to use, with a threat known to most history books in Equestria and the Crystal Empire unfolding in real time around him. Yea that's fine, he can make this work; He always has.

Sombra through a miraculous and cruel twist of fate has survived death, leaving the the princess no choice but to imprison him. But, seeing more to Sombra than the anger and hatred that others see in him, Twilight suggests Sombra be reformed. So Luna offers to place him in the care of one of her ponies to help him.

So, Blue Crest, general of the night guard, is given this seemingly impossible mission to reform the former tyrant. But soon, both ponies start to see a different side of Sombra, and both discover that Sombra may be more than they think he is.

Ponies have reported the murder of two pets and of a wounded pony relating to The Elements of Harmony. Residents of Ponyville have reported sightings of ponies screaming and crying right outside of Princess Twilight Sparkle's home. So Princess Celestia herself sent me to investigate and interview ponies of the crime scene. What really happened? Is the Princess alright?

Be it ancient menace or new threat, diplomatic snafu or domestic concern, monster attack or friendship problem, Twilight Sparkle and her friends have always risen to the challenge.

That's a bit of an issue this time around, when the challenge is a marked absence of Twilight Sparkle.

After a tragic series of events that brought him to Equestria, a man is provided a new chance at life unlike anything imagined possible. Adopted by ponies in Dodge Junction, he grows up to develop a deep connection with, and strength from Equestrian magic, such that could rival any threat ever known in history. This inspires both awe and wonder, as well as fear and doubt by ponies around him. Despite wishing to stay at his newfound home of Cherry Hill Ranch, and away from public attention, the man must embrace his call to offer Harmony's magic towards those in great need.

Everypony knows the Hearth’s Warming Eve tale of tribal unity and the shared rule which followed. Everypony also knows that alicorns - singular or dual - have sat on Equestria’s throne for well over a thousand years.

Very few have really looked in to what actually happened between those points.

Even Twilight Sparkle, until a chance encounter leads her to an alarming discovery: Neither she, nor any other alicorn, has actually held any legal right to Equestria’s throne. They are technically usurpers, autocrats - even tyrants.

Still struggling with her own personal rule, having the fundamental basis for her authority swept from beneath her leaves Twilight with one simple, yet impossible question: 

Now what?
