Friendship Letters

Within the central plaza of Canterlot, deep within the Astral Plane, a beam of light shines into the bell tower of a small church. The beam appears to strike the bell inside the tower, and angle downward into the church. A lone figure enters the church, and gingerly closes the doors behind her. She is careful to make as little noise as possible. Amy has managed to avoid any encounters with the Royal Guard, Pisces, so far, but she's not willing to risk getting caught now. After she closes the d...

Duchess Chrysalis:hello dears I am Duchess Chrysalis and I'm going to be your host for a little project I currently call "Ask the Ponies", this was inspired by the pinkie and rainbow of the original universes' show of the same name so here I am, feel free to ask anyone that you feel like.

Basic Information Prince ShadowStar was born under a shroud of mystery and expectation, being the son of Princess Luna, the ruler of the night, and King Sombra, a once-powerful tyrant who ruled over the Crystal Empire. King Sombra's absence throughout Shadow's life has left a significant void, shaping his identity and his relationship with his mother and others in Equestria. From a young age, ShadowStar exhibited an affinity for magic, particularly the darker aspects, which often set him apart...

() Amy cannot recall how long she has been traveling. Nar was the one with a phone, and wrist watch to help keep the time, and he fell into some sort of trap a while ago. Though, she has had a lot of time to think. In between checking her surroundings for the royal guard, that is. The city she finds herself in is almost certainly some version of Canterlot. The castle sits high atop the city, and looks exactly as she remembers it looking back before she got lost in the AHS. Most of the notable,...

This is nice. It ain't often that Frost Tear is able to leave her house in the Whispering Woods, the world is a dangerous place after all and only His presence can keep her safe. With the Evergrowing by her side, nothing can bring her harm! Not even the dubiously cheap (yet large) hayburger she's currently munching on, it is definitely a very healthy meal for this Tuesday afternoon. As the cold autumn breeze rolls through the park, she wonders if her supernatural companion is capable of feeling...

The stone walkway ahead of Amy closes just after having opened up to swallow her boyfriend. Before the stone walkway has even fully closed back up, she steps around it, and begins a quick jog into the plaza ahead. She takes note of how brightly lit the plaza is, despite the lack of any lit light fixtures within. A glace upwards shows that a moon hangs directly above the city. Not only is it a bright, full moon, but it's much larger than it should be. Almost twice the size of what she remembers t...

Nar's fast descent is slowed to a stop as the chute he fell down gradually curves from vertical, to horizontal. Darkness gives way to candlelight. As his eyes adjust to the change in lighting, his brain works to make sense of the scene before it. The sight it beholds when his eyes finally manage to adjust momentarily stuns it with confusion. Nar had expected the end of the chute to either be some sort of death trap, trash compartment, or just an empty, stone room. Instead, what greets Nar is wh...

Darkness gives way to blurry vision. A groan escapes Nar's lips as his brain finally begins to send commands to wake up the rest of his body. He tries to move his arm to sit up, but finds it's completely numb. As his vision comes into focus, his eyes shift back and forth to survey his surroundings. He's forced to squint as his gaze passes by the bright, white lights positioned above him. To his right, he thinks he can hear the voice of a woman. "Doctor. The Patient is awake!" He hears the sound ...

(https://youtu.be/TCQu4shQ-20?si=CyW27vcE4p8E6WK-) Just under a week of travel to reach the 4th layer of the Astral Highway System was pretty good time in Nar's book. Could you get to the 4th layer fast? Hell yeah. You could get there in a day or two if you knew what you were doing, what to look for, and how to avoid dying along the way. Hell, Nar could probably have done that, if it wasn't for his objective. He was here to look for Amy, and there's no telling what layer she might have ended ...

Day two of Nar's expedition into the Astral Plane. At least, that's what his phone is telling him. With how weird the AHS is, Nar feels like he's already been in here for a week. That's exactly the reason why one of the pieces of equipment the E.S.E.E required for adventurers traveling in the AHS was a way to tell the date/time outside the AHS. Taking care of your needs is important in the AHS, even if physically, you never feel them. So having a way to set a schedule for rest was important. Oth...

In the living room of their house, the members of Attack on Mango sit in a circle. For most people, this wouldn't be much different from a normal night, but when Attack on Mango was sitting in a circle, that could only mean one thing. It was a band meeting. For once, Nar was the one to call a band meeting. The others were thoroughly confused, as this was unheard of for the band. Nar usually didn't care enough about band stuff to call an official meeting. He usually just brought his concerns up ...

Fall, 2015, Ponyville High School. (https://youtu.be/kQ1IuVQ81KU?si=fN3DfnLrnPMMyX25) Inside an unused shed just beyond Ponyville High's Softball field, a group of 6 students sit around a rickety, old, wooden table. On the front of the shed, there's a small, hand-made banner which reads 'Adventure Club'. Inside, a box fan works overtime to keep the occupants from dying of heat stroke. On the back wall, there's a map of Ponyville, and the surrounding area, with multiple locations on it mark...

The Skyscraper that serves as the headquarters for Equestria's most prestigious record company, Royal Records, towers over the city of Canterlot. In size, it's only beat out by Canterlot Castle itself. At the base of what is essentially, the gothic spire Attack on Mango, and their agent prepare themselves. All morning, they've been giving each other pep talks, and re-assuring one another that they can do this. After Nar's speach on the jet yesterday, the band already has their mind made up. They...

Fall, 2018, Vanhoover. It's a cool, Saturday night in Vanhoover. A group of 8 young adults enter a small skating rink just after the sun has gone down. The group consists of Asuka, Juno, Nar, and his group of friends from the Northern Adventurer's League. Usually, Nar didn't spend much time with the Adventurer's League, and his Band together, but tonight was a special occasion. It was Nar, and his girlfriend Amy's 2 year anniversary, but they still weren't super serious about their relations...

"Dear Everyone who reads this letter You all are doing wonderful doing your best to keep up with yourselves going through life one hoof at a time not giving up "The Great Papyrus is here for everypony That needs a shoulder or a hand to help them through tough times Nyeh hehe ...

Below is a letter, found by castle staff while sorting letters to the castle. It sports a wax seal of the Ridgewell family. The age of the letter is unknown. "Darkness enshrouds the good people of the Ridgewell Estate. Through deceit, and trickery, a great evil has wormed it's way into my estate. It took the form of a prince, using magic so powerful, neither myself, nor my estate mage could detect it. Unable to see through it's ruse, I allowed the evil to take refuge in the one great castle u...

The setting sun washes the grounds of the Ridgewell Estate in a beautiful, orange light. Among the grounds, a lone stallion takes an early evening stroll. He's heard much about the estate from his brother, who lives here, and he has not been disappointed. Though from Manehatten, the man decided to surprise his brother with a visit this week. It's been too long since the siblings had been able to spend time together. The man thought his brother would have been overjoyed when he showed up at his d...

Channel 2, 8 PM, Equestria Tonight Entertainment News block The show begins with an opening jingle, and the show's logo transitioning off screen as a camera pans in to a fancy studio. In the middle of the studio sits a large, marble desk, with marble pillars on each side. Behind the desk sit two hosts, with a large screen displaying the show's logo behind them. On the left sits a mare with purple hair that glows, and shifts like a nebula. On the right, a stallion with bright, orange hair, and a...

9:30 PM, Vanhoover Central Park, Vanhoover Music Festival It's been 10 minutes since Dragonautica finished their song, and it looks like the stage crew has just finished setting up for Attack on Mango. Both excitement, and dread fill the air. Excitement because the next song is from the number one band in the city. Dread, because they're the last song of the festival. Once they're done, the festival will end, and everyone will have to go back to their lives. Though, the Vanhoover Department o...

9 PM, Vanhoover Central Park, Vanhoover Music Festival. It's been a long, but fun day for the city of Vanhoover. With the music festival taking place throughout the day, artists and bands from all over the city have gotten the opportunity to make themselves known to the city at large. From RnB, to Techno, to Rock n Roll, and even Bluegrass. The festival boasted a large variety of genres for all the festivalgoers to enjoy. However, all things must come to an end sooner or later. Even then, with...

Imma just keep it short...I'm tired...I'm exhausted really. I don't see a reason to live on. There's no point anymore. They always say things get better, but shit just gets worse. I attempted suicide already for the first time in years...and I haven't been able to shake it since....Ever since I felt as if I don't belong here. Like I should be alive. Really, I'm just too tired of this world.  I'm tired of the injustice. I'm tired of the betrayal. I'm tired of the evil. I'm tired of the lack...

After a lengthy stay in the hospital, Nar has finally been discharged, and is happily re-united with his bandmates in their home. They had planned to celebrate at Shifty Sai's, but it was closed due to a pipe bursting. So instead, the band sits in the living room of their home with an extra large pepperoni pizza, cheesy breadsticks, cinnamon squares, and multiple 2 liter sodas on the coffee table in the middle of them. Once everyone has had their fill of the food, Asuka stands, and exits the roo...

(https://youtu.be/1UMNoaefIp4?si=lfcqkJ_Gkgaf5sA_) Inside a dim, dry, dungeon, far below the quiet little town of Appleoosa, a man hangs against the back wall of a stone cell. There is little light to illuminate the cell. Only the residual light from an oil lamp affixed to the wall outside of the cell. A cloud of ancient dust permeates the air, and the man's lungs. Every breath he takes feels like he's sucking in dust directly off of an old piece of furniture. Worse still is the strain of bei...

'Ah, shit. How long was I out? My everything is KILLING me. I can only see red in my right eye. Places on my body feel warm, wet, and kinda sticky. Must have taken a bad tumble. Wait. Is that a car? Shit! The race!' Ever since Nar fell from the railing a few minutes ago, the race seems to have come to a halt. Save for Steeltrap that is. When he realized that Nar would not be coming out of the trees he fell into, something inside him snapped. He roared his rage into the trees for some time befor...
