Chapter Two
To an observer, a pegasus like Fluttershy might seem something of an outlier. She was one of Ponyville's--and by extension Equestria's--six heroes, the Elements of Harmony, yet there was something separating her from her five greatest friends. Applejack was a town hero, Rarity a fashion star on the rise, Pinkie could accurately be described as being the joyful' ever-beating heart of Ponyville itself, Twilight was the town's link to Princess Celestia, and as for Rainbow Dash, she was loved enough to have her own rather sizable fan club. Fluttershy alone had stayed out of the limelight for the most part, and the

Gilda the griffon never had a whole lot of luck. That's how she saw it at least. Things tended to just not exactly go her way. An observer might instead argue that it was all her fault. Luck had nothing to do with it, Gilda simply had a bad habit of always making exactly the wrong decisions. Of course Gilda would probably make that observer regret saying such a thing.
Half eagle, half lion, griffons were a race were proud, noble creatures. Strong, agile, fierce; they were natural born hunters. Gilda had all the pride of her race, but exactly none of the nobility; and while quite fast for a griffon and adequatel

Chapter 15: Secrets and Stratagems.
I don't know where I came from. If anyone knows the circumstances of my birth, they've made careful to obscure the knowledge from me. Growing up in the nunnery, I wondered it often. I wondered if I had a mother or father out there somewhere. I wondered if there was some other place I should be.
I especially wondered these thoughts as my abilities started to show. It was hard not to wonder why as words of praise showered me, as I was called a prodigy, as I was noticed by people who mattered. I was but a child. I didn't know what to do. I said I wanted to help others, because that's what

Father, your legends tell me you are a warrior without peer, but what I see in your actions is weakness. What is the point of a king who sits idle as his kingdom is rules by others? What use is power that is never exercised. Rainier can be a strong nation. It should be.
I have seen the future of our kingdom. It will glide on the fairest of of black wings. It will prosper. This woman, this angel, she is what this kingdom needs. She alone will redefine Rainier's place in the world. I will see to it that it happens.
I don't expect you to understand. Understanding is not your best trait.

Fairest Sybella, I often wonder why our love was fated not to flourish. For all the success life has gifted me, I can't help but dwell on the failings I've seen. I can't help but dwell on you. I can't help but wonder where I'd be had fate twisted me down a different path? Would I still have these reddened hands? Would I still know all that I do now?
I am not a kind man. I lack something very fundamental to most humans. For that, I doubt I would have been true to you. For that, I excel at the profession I was chosen for. For that, I have bested men who are known to be legends while my o

ARNOU GROSVENOUR'S STORY:
Adalia was a simple daughter of a priest from Archerd, born in a particularly poor region of Vernell. She lost both her parents to the harsh elements. Still a teen, she was all alone. Reeve Grosvenour took pity on her and they were wed. Twelve years passed for the two in the town of Farramond. It was a rocky set of years. Reeve was a grifter and conman. He made decent money at it sometimes, but sometimes he'd fail and when he did he'd drink heavily and take it out on his wife. Toward the end of those twelve years it started to get bad. His luck was dried

SETTING:
It is the 1369th year of the Enlightened Era in the history of the continent known as Astraeia. The history of the land traces back just over 2000 years, to the mysterious and sudden fall of an advanced civilization now known only as the Ancients. In those many years, Astraeia arose slowly from the ashes to eventually take its current shape.
An assortment of life forms now call Astraeia home. The lands are teaming with an unimaginable plethora of wildlife and beasts, some truly monstrous, but it is humanity that controls the lands. Or at least they'd like to think as muc

Dazzle was still shock at what she had just seen. What had all of that been about? The ground started to shake, some kind of crystal had engulfed the castle and then some berserk wolf attacked them randomly? None of it was normal. The black figure she had seen flying from the castle bothered her the most though. Why had it looked like Arcana to her for a split second? That just didn't make sense.
More than anything though, it worried her. From her classes, Dazzle had learned that magic worked in very mysterious and unusual ways. She thought about her dream of the ni

"Follow me!" called a small blue unicorn foal with a cheerful giggle as she raced towards the woods nearby. Freshly fallen leaves crunched beneath her hooves while Celestia's sun was well on it's way down in the sky above.
"B-but..." another young unicorn, this one pink, started as she stared ahead, stuck in place. "It's scary to go any further... It's dark in there..."
The blue foal stepped toward her friend and smiled. She nodded. "Come on, Arc! When we're together there's nothing to be afraid of!"

Darkness and Dawn: Story Notes
This story, My Little Pony: Darkness and Dawn draws its inspiration from the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Moreover it borrows many locations and elements from the setting of the "World of Equestria RP" over at Canterlot (dot) com. This page is just to keep track of places, ponies and everything else this story will offer. A lot of this info (particularly for the setting) is lifted directly from topics at Canterlot because I'm lazy. Credit goes to the original author(s) of the posts I took from.
