Description: An ancient evil has awakened. No, really, it has. From the depths of time, a black, noxious threat has risen up after millennia of imprisonment. It washes like oil over Equestria, swallowing up towns and uncovering terrible secrets long buried. Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rarity are prepared to combat this great darkness. However, to do so, they must uncover the truths about the Elements of Harmony, and the truths about the ancient forerunners of Equestrian culture. What they find will challenge their conceptions of their own places in history and ponydom's place in the world. The six Bearers of the Elements must draw upon their friendship and the strength of their hearts to stand firm against the darkness. If they fail, it will mean the end of everything.

Description:Equestrian Horizon (New Part 5!)
Lieutenant Commander Firefly and her Timberwolf flight are combat fliers of the highest caliber and seasoned veterans of the Continental War, a massive conflict from which the world is just beginning to rebuild. When a nation lost to time suddenly resurfaces in the frozen north, it is her fliers that are tasked with keeping peace in the frigid skies over the Crystal Empire.
But even the best cannot escape the scars of war. Images of battle continue to haunt Firefly, demons that she cannot seem to exorcise on her own. Meanwhile, she still has a squad to lead, a new recruit to train, and patrols to conduct. But what begins as routine patrol work rapidly escalates into deadly dogfights and furious fleet actions. There is more to this fight than just a few rogue griffons out for blood and coin. As the situation rapidly spirals out of control, the Timberwolves find themselves embroiled in a conflict that will determine the fate of not just the Crystal Empire, but the entire free world.
Original universe with heavy inspiration from the Ace Combat games. Rated Teen for warfare, violence, and language.

Ripping the dead from the grave and conscripting them to their army of evil and conquest. Woe to the towns that dare draw their interest.The Necromancer's Ambition
Such are the legends.
This is a story about one of the kindest ponies I know.
