Realm of the Lost

by Orsuros
You may have heard the official version of what happened underneath Twilight's School, but this is the real story of how the the Student 6 brought Equestria's magic back from the void. An interactive, CYOA-style story.

You may have read the story of what happened beneath Twilight's School of Friendship. That's the nice version the princesses want all the ponies to believe in. This is the real version of what the Student 6 and Starlight Glimmer went through to bring Equestria's magic back as they faced terrible and mysterious things banished from Equestria into the Realm of the Lost.

This started as an interactive story, so readers voted to help the characters decide what to do at the end of most chapters. I switched to using some RPG elements with a more traditional style in later chapters.

This story is run using a mix of the Mythic and Tails of Equestria systems.

This was also inspired partly by Starscribe's wonderful Voyage of the Equinox.
