Lore

A mind clicks back into place. Foggy at first, stirring from an extended period of vacancy.

Day Three. "The Prosecution calls the Defendant to the stand." Nar rises from his position at the defense table, and is escorted to the stand by the bailiff. As he sits, he is sworn in, and the prosecutor approaches the stand. ...

//in order to not have a storyline about a trial take as long as an actual trial, I will be splitting the witness testimony segments into their own stories. I'll only be addressing the most important testimonies, leaving the ones with less impact on the storyline out. Day 2, Asuka Yakushi. After being called to the stand, Asuka is sworn in, and Litigious Exculpation approaches to begin questioning. (https://youtu.be/RJ5eklOlrQE?si=UrImyqOzj3xHHCFb) ...

7:30 AM, Canterlot Courthouse, Courtroom C, Lobby. (https://youtu.be/3tgDWKlJsSM?si=KzOFV7m1iGNEIToz) Asuka Yakushi and her family sit patiently outside of the courtroom as her mother quietly reminds everyone about courtroom decorum. She's been drilling proper courtroom attire, and how to act inside into everyone's heads for the past few days now. It makes sense. She is an attorney herself, after all. Though, she deals with the civil courts, not the criminal courts. Though, the principals...

(( An off-season short horror story. I don't think I've ever posted this one, seeing that it's been sitting in my WIP folder for a while so.. Have at it! ))

1/9/25, 12 PM, Solaris Amphitheater, Canterlot. (https://youtu.be/YQSeg8QrW2M?si=dt0QUNq_E0iYwXP7) Scrappy peers out of the amphitheater's west tunnel, to a packed crowd. With a capacity in the tens of thousands, there isn't an empty seat in sight. It's the first time she's playing in front of a crowd with her new band, and it's by far the most important performance of their entire careers. Panic grips at Scrappy's heart, and she feels herself becoming faint. "My music career is over." She mu...

Beautiful Love, the younger sister of PB. Though separated from each other at her birth Beautiful Love was put up for adoption in a foster home within the multuverse. Now was the foster home a good one only time would tell.  As a filly Beautiful Love had to put all her faith in the caretakers provided for her and the others. She was a special foal one of the few born as an alicorn. Those with control over the foster homes' finances treated Beautiful Love better than the other fillies and foal...

After a long day of travel, Attack on Mango was happy to have made it to their hotel in Canterlot. With the holidays over, and a new year beginning, it was time for Attack on Mango to finally make their move for the number one spot on the Equestrian music charts. Juno unlocks the door to the suite the band will be staying in for their stay in the capitol. It's a snazzy 2 bedroom suite with a small living room/kitchen area, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a VERY luxurious bathroom. Not to mentio...

When PB lost her memory she felt no rage, no remorse but rather a simple peace that she hadn't felt in a long while. She passed out a way from most civilization not knowing what would await for her. As ponyville became more open to different species she, now a peanut butter pony applied for a role as a royal painter and artist hired by Prince Artemis and later on Princess Luna in another universe. She herself always favored the royalty of the night as if understanding even if just a small bit. W...

Tiny hands push on Nar's arm until he begins to rouse. His eyes begin to open, and his ears pick up a voice, but his brain doesn't quite process the words being said. The bed shakes slightly, and Nar finally turns to see who keeps pushing his arm. There, the excited face of Cookie bounces up, and down, just barely peeking above the bed. "Papa! Santa! Santa!" Instantly, Nar is wide awake. He begins to shuffle out of bed, only for Cookie to take off out of the room. Nar slips his slippers ...

"Ma'am, I have good news for you." The purple unicorn turned around in her swivel chair, her red eyes glaring at the stallion who had entered her office.  "Make it quick," she said.  "I have a hanging scheduled for this evening." "One of yours?" the stallion asked, a slight hint of teasing in his voice. The unicorn nodded.  "Is it ever not?  If it's not a criminal I found, it's a so-called 'criminal' I own."  She stood up, her face obscured by the shadows in the room.  "Now, tell me what you ...

The lands of the Dark World seemed to be at a low silence. The sounds of wind and storm casting over the darkened purple sky, providing a sort of calm ambiance. Upon the tallest mountain within this word, a being stood overlooking the dark lands below from a castle balcony. This figure was one as dark as a shadow. It had no detail appearance. It's appearance was shaped like a Alicorn sized dragon, though no mouth or eyes were seen on the figure in dark. Only physical features the resembled a dra...

Cold wind ravages the outer magical shields that surround the interloper, yet all he feels is a gentle winter breeze. He marches through the apathetic snow on a path that hasn't been used in years, a path that he'd never used before yet knows like the back of his hoof. There in the Frozen North, where the Siren's curse buried whole kingdoms in frost, he will find his quary. Nestled on the side of a mountain range, a lone castle overlooks the long-abandoned valley. The river that once gave it ...

"Knock knock!" Betty Yakushi opens the front door of her house to find the face of her son staring back at her. Oh! And he's carrying her granddaughter too! It's the first time she's gotten to see her in person! Betty's face lights up as her eldest children, and their best friend enter their home. "Kisho! Our favorite band is here!" She calls out to her husband, as she gives each of the young adults a hug. A few seconds later, her husband emerges from the kitchen with a 'Worlds Best Dad/Boss...

The hunt for a new keyboardist for Attack on Mango was on. The four current members of the band sit behind a desk inside a rented out studio, and wave goodbye to their most recent tryout. So far, every candidate that's come in has either just tried to play covers of their songs, or played some half-assed original composition that usually sucked. At this rate, it looked like it might take weeks before they find their new keyboardist. With only 10 minutes left before the auditions wrap up for t...

. The only fitting word comes to Verdant's mind as he ascends the crystal spire. Floor after floor of cobwebs is only part of it- some of the things he'd seen the past few hours predated the founding of Equestria. Perhaps predating even the first coming of the windigos! Where would you even find a thunderbird eye in the present day? Nevermind the fact that they've been extinct for at least two thousand years, thunderbirds  resided in the area Equestria occupies! And yet Verdant stops his ascent...

It's been about 3 hours since the patrol started, but everything's gone smoothly so far. Wattzis Buckets, and Wildfire have been standing guard in the Lord's Manor since they arrived. There's been little to do, and conversation has to be kept to a minimum, so more than anything, Wattzis has been bored out of his mind. Such is the life of a guard. Wattzis' eyes move to watch as Lieutenant Spellsword enters the manor's atrium on her patrol route. She gives the two guards a short nod. Nothing to ...

((CONTENT WARNING: blood, gore, violence)) The hive was unusually cold.  Even less usual, it was empty.  As Spinneret wandered the ever-changing corridors, there was not a single changeling in sight.  She made her way to the dungeon, which conveniently doubled as the hive's mess hall; not even the prisoners-slash-meals were there.  Not only that, there was no trace of them ever being there, no remnants of changeling cocoons.  In fact, there was no sign that anycreature had ever been in the hive...

//Woe, introductory post be upon thee. For a guard, Ponyville was one of the best places to be stationed. Whattzis Buckets woke up every day, excited to protect the town he'd grown up in. He loved to patrol the streets, converse with the townsfolk, and help them when they needed it. He particularly liked when the schoolhouse reached out to him to read to the children. They were always so excited to see a guard in person, and he loved to read them stories of the great heroes of old. Today w...

The Voices are all consuming. Fear, Pain, and Suffering surround Nar in a cacophony that tears away at his very being. He can feel the tendrils of the Voices attempting to rip apart his mind, and steal the memories within. He screams, but it only joins the thousands of other screams coming from within the Voices. There is no defense against the Voices once you're in it's clutches. Deep within the parts of Nar's mind, not yet under assault, he knows it's only a matter of time before he becomes li...

//Feel free to add an excerpt from your character in the comments if you like! I may choose to feature some of the characters in the comments in an upcoming post from Nar! (https://youtu.be/W8WSZwX2xhg?si=MYGhakTGprQ6K3Bw) Artuo looks up from the table he's cleaning in his restaurant to look over to a booth near the middle of the restaurant. It's the booth that Attack on Mango usually sits at, but lately, they haven't been coming in 3 days a week like they usually do. When they do, it's on...

//CONTENT WARNING: MENTIONS OF BLOOD, AND DEATH. NOT DESCRIBED IN DETAIL. (https://youtu.be/6JeaK_7Owow?si=_OtQGw88wIqiDzh1) The air is knocked out of Nar's lungs as his abdomen slams into the edge of a large piece of stone. He feels himself begin to slide backwards. His arms reach forward, and grab hold of the other edge of the stone, pulling himself up so his chest, and abdomen can rest atop it. As Nar gasps for air, he takes in his surroundings. He's stuck on a piece that's broken off of on...

Three figures stand before the doors to the throne room of Canterlot Castle. The first is the royal jester, Pulsar, standing in the middle of the two doors. Behind him, Nar, and Amy stand in an embrace. A sinister, powerful, arcane energy radiates from within the throne room. It pulsates in rhythmic fashion, like a beating heart. He is expecting them. He will not allow them to leave of his own accord. They're going to have to fight their way to the exit, and Pulsar is going to help them do it. ...

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...

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...

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...
