Further up the mountain, on a grassy patch that offered a scenic view over Canterlot and the surrounding area as the moon began to greet the evening sky, stood the older prince. Well, in this case, the only prince now. A.. good bit of time had passed since Solaris last saw his home, a large variety of emotions flashing through his eyes as he stared down at the view before him. He wished he had returned on a better note. He wished he had returned without the intent on taking back what was rightfu...

6:00 AM, August 7, 2026, Ponyville. Asuka has been up for around 2 hours this morning, and for good reason. Today was the first day of school, and Asuka wanted to make sure everything would be ready for Cyan for his first day of Kindergarten. She's packed his backpack, made his lunch, and checked, and re-checked all of his clothes for any holes, or wrinkles. She can hardly believe it's time for him to start school, even though he'd already been through Pre-K the year prior. The thought causes...

Camille took a deep breath, reaching up to adjust the bandage around her head, then the one around her chest and midsection. She winced at the stinging of the wounds underneath but stood strong. Stepping forwards through the darkened hallways of an abandoned hospital, her already activated gauntlets clanking against the cracked floor. The place was definitely freaking haunted. Or at least it seemed like it, for how the place reacted to her presence. It was like the building itself was alive, ...

((WARNING: ANIMAL ENDANGERMENT/ABUSE)) this is mostly for my own benefit, so i don't forget key aspects of these characters and who they are. so basically, the Horde is what the group of alley cats Spinneret hangs with call themselves.  their primary goal is world domination, and the thing that unites them is their hatred of ponies.  save for one, each member was harmed by ponies in some way, and their names come from these incidents.  of course, being alley cats, world domination is a pipe...

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...

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...

(https://youtu.be/5bO7u_1C6hs?si=NH1PGHAmPsm0CJsH) It's the night before Nar, Asuka, and Juno move back to their hometown. After a lively goodbye party with all their friends at Stinkin' Steve's, the three, along with Cookie, have made their way home to sleep for the night. Once everyone else in the house is asleep, Nar quietly slips out on his own. He has one last goodbye to say before he leaves the city. After a night skate through the city, Nar arrives at his destination. A lone Astral Hig...

[br] Time had come to past since your last visit, which that exodus left several questions left unanswered. Yet with your obstinate meddling, you returned. Just as the prior path you walked before was still fresh in the banks of your retrospection, you would only hope that your inquisitive mentality would not vex your guide. A 'click' of hooves scuffled along the cobblestone of the bridge as the Atrium's distance drew near. Course, in your greeting it seemed that the Quilladon was absorbed in a...

“And THAT, my friend, is why you’re the chicken!” Strawberry slurred through a barrage of giggles to an unamused bartender. The laughter produced a large knot in her stomach and she soon found herself leaning against the corner of the bar with one hoof on her freshly emptied glass and clutching her gut with another. The bartender simply blinked and continued to wipe down the glass tankard with a rag. “Alright, Bers. I’m gonna have to cut you off now.” The unicorn dragged her flus...

"A shooting at 3423 BonBon View, Rosetta Apartments. Several shots were heard and several people yelling at each other. Caller stating a pony was shot. Unknow weapons. Unknown Suspect." The mare dispatcher stated over the radio air before asking for elements. The day has been filled with a few murders, a couple robberies, and major crashes which made all elements unavailable. Cally could feel that breath suddenly crawling up her legs and back into her body as she pulled into a small closed ti...

Within Canterlot Castle laid a secret chamber. A chamber used for the purpose of performing and discussing secret acts of Arcane Performance. The World of Arcane was never predictable. It was never assumed to be safe. It was always dangerous. No matter if one masters it or is considered an expert in the field. Arcane is always unsafe. The need for caution was always a priority. Therefore, a secret chamber for Arcane Performance was as safe as it could get. And the current acts going on inside th...

At first, when the health issues started popping up, Asuka thought she could manage them. Then, they started to get worse, and Asuka saw the writing on the wall. Either she could move in with her son and his family for them to take care of him, or she could move into a retirement home to get the care she needed. In the end, Asuka wanted her son and his family to be able to live their lives without having to spend so much time caring for her. Not that they would mind. In fact, Cyan seems pretty u...

Each second passed so slowly. She could not think, because that hurt as badly as anything else. Every breath stung like bitter cold in her lungs. There was nothing, nothing but pain in every part of her. Needles across her skin and daggers in her eyes, hammers and bowling balls in her head. Her ears ached inside and out. Her skin felt pulled tight across rows of molars jutting out from her muscles. Every so often, she would stop breathing, just stop so that she could have that moment of peace....

It had been a long day for Silver. Getting back into her career as a flight racer was a long process and a lot of publicity, this meant enduring interviews and tackling questions that she would not find very appealing. Alas, that is what it was if she were to become a coach or even reignite the passion of racing herself in the lower divisions of the leagues, not pleasant stuff. These requirements to fulfil were what had her out of place. The mare at home left pacing back and forth as her mind ...

Changelings are the most notorious of Equestrian fae. They require love to sustain themselves, and for a very long time, this led them down dark paths. Foals were stolen from their cribs and replaced by newly hatched changelings in their likeness. While horrifying behaviour to pony kingdoms, it was a custom formed of desperation. No changeling wanted to let their children starve and suffer, not while ponykind gorged themselves on hoarded resources, and they did not harm the stolen foals. Each on...

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...

Asuka hates being right. Last night, she said she'd expected a call from Spot the moment the news got out that they'd won the Battle of the Bands in Manehatten. Sure enough, not 30 minutes later, Spot had booked them a flight back to Vanhoover, and sent someone to go drive their tour van back to Vanhoover for them. The Equestrian Music Society wanted to hold a ceremony for Attack on Mango to claim the number one spot on the national music charts ASAP, and Spot chose the next night. The last 24 h...

"As deft as rocks swimming upstream." Words that forever marked her early teens. Spoken in these selfsame shores, back when the sand was just as golden as the city behind them; when the clear blue ocean only gave way to the white foam of the waves, the beautiful sounds of nature clashing with that of their boombox, their laughter, their taunts. They're gone now. The golden sand has turned grey, ruins lay where a great city once did. With the bay closed by the carcass of a great ship, even ...

It was evening, and a beautiful one at that. Gold cascaded down from the heavens above to find a lone pegasus bent over her desk in a little cottage in the Wandering Woods. She gripped a letter open tightly in her teeth by its dark leather handle. Naturally, this pegasus was Blind Faith herself. ...

There was no way to know for certain how long it had been since the pegasus had been apprehended. Locked in a horribly cramped room with no window and with bright lights on at all hours, Faith's only measurement of time came every few days when she was held down by several guards and the IV that slowly fed her just enough liquid to survive on was replaced. She was exhausted, yet unable to sleep for more than moments at a time, for fear of losing the precious time she needed to plan an escape. ...

It was just late enough that Mirror had returned from the woods, but not quite late enough to end the day and go to bed. The clock kept ticking every so often, infuriatingly slow, to signify the marching of time, and that made for the only sound in the cottage. When it had begun to grow colder, the crackling of a fire joined it, and bathed the lower floor in a rosy glow. Light rain fell outside. ...
