If the four kingdoms had a single thing in common, it was this: When a pony was sick or dying of a disease that could not be cured, they were to travel to the forest in the middle of the four territories alone to die. Good medical care was rare and expensive, and it was simply not worth risking everypony else.So, young or old, noble or not, if you were sick and could not be cured, you had to go. This had been the way for as long as anypony alive remembered. Allegedly, a creature…- 10.9 K • Completed
Canterlot Castle had been closed for the day. This was, as far as Rarity understood, a very rare occurrence. Canterlot Castle was seldom closed, its doors open to any and all at any time of the day, a safe haven for anypony who might need it. In fact, until that very day, the last time it had closed was during the still-talked-about time when a dragon visited Princess Denza. “Must be serious,” they had all thought then and thought the same on this occasion. “Must be bad?” they…- 29.4 K • Ongoing
- If her conversation with Rarity at the boutique helped in any way, Twilight sure didn’t feel like it. If anything, it seemed to have made things worse. The weeks after, at the train station, Twilight noticed Rarity seemed much more preoccupied with conversing with her friend than actually searching for her ‘soulmate’, if she even went to the train station at all. More often than not, it seemed, the unicorn would change course last minute, insisting Twilight and she go do something else…

- Twilight wasn’t one to worry. Alright, that was a lie. Twilight Sparkle was one to constantly worry, which is why she made sure that her entire life functioned according to her checklists and schedules, but she liked to believe she wasn’t as much of a worrywart as she’d been when she first arrived to Ponyville. Which was why, when she arrived at the train station the next day, she was surprised (not worried, definitely not worried) to find Rarity wasn’t there. It wasn’t…

- It was common knowledge that ponies could only see in shades of gray. Color would only enter their world the day they met their soulmate, the one being that, so everyone knew, they were destined to be with for the rest of their life. A pony’s perfect match, more than anypony else in the entire world. “One day, Twilight. One day, I shall find him, and everything will fall into place.” Every day, usually at around noon, Rarity the unicorn would sit down at a bench in Ponyville’s train station…

Snow Star had never been to the Everfree Forest before. Truthfully, the majority of Ponyville had never dared venture into the Everfree Forest, period, repelled both by the timberwolves lurking in its depths and, if it was true, the latent magic of a terrible, terrible beast. But, well… That was a thing of the past. Or the present, all things considered. When she’d left for school that morning, her mother asked her if she’d slept well. The teen nodded, saying she had, which…- 5.2 K • Oneshot
Celestia remembered it like it was yesterday. Her little sister—a unicorn barely past her fillyhood—weeping over the deer, the animal’s breathing heavy and pained, its mangled legs torn beyond any hope of repair. She remembered the thick scent of blood staining the air, heavy and sickening and sad. “Shhh, little one. We will help you.” Luna was cradling the deer’s head, whispering comforting words as if the deer could even listen, its gaze unfocused and dazed. “You will be…- 1.6 K • Completed
When the castle appeared in the horizon, Twilight Sparkle felt she could cry. The training program had taken an entire year. An entire year, three hundred sixty-five days plus twenty more if she accounted for travel time to the Arimaspi kingdom and back, and every single one of those days, she thought of home. She still thought it was stupid, even if it was only stupid because of personal reasons, and even if she’d learned immensely and was ten times the soldier she was before. But it…- 1.2 K • Completed
