Reaper Tales - Chapter 1 - Deluge
The rain was pouring down like never before, thunder cutting through the night. Several parts of Equestria were taking a hard hit from this, suffering from flood and mud slides. It was chaotic other places, and it was clear that ponies were scared, as this was unnatural weather conditions.
Shining Armor was just outside Ponyville when one of the guard came up to him.
“Sir. Is the area cleared?” The guard looked around.
Shining nodded as a patrol passed by. “It’s all clear here, just like the orders said.”
The guard sent up a magic flare. Then he looked at Shining. “But why is this area supposed to be cleare

Reaper Tales - Ch. 2 - Hearts and Hooves Nightmare
Director Cut was pulling his wagon as he once again, a few months after the Cloudsdale incident was heading back to Ponyville. Things had cleared up there, and a memorial monument was made for those who had died, as it was clear that the storm was unnatural.
He stopped to take a breather, studying the landscape as birds were singing and the sun shining. The wagon was heavy as always, but he had been getting used to it by now. He had walked by several of the men who had survived the incident, but they didn't recognize him. Normally would this have been weird, as he had interviewed them when the rain had stopped, but for him was it usual. Nobo

Reaper Tales - Chapter 3 - A Royal Disaster
A grey pony was trotting along the streets of Canterlot. He appeared to be lost, not knowing where to go and what he was supposed to do. All he knew was that it had something to do with the carved wooden box he was carrying. He didn't dare to open it, just in case it contained evil things. His cutiemark was a purple mountain with surrounding mist.
It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining and the birds singing. He took a stroll through the park, where he could look at what others did, not needing to worry about his own forgetfulness. He settled under a tree, watching as a light red and a mint green pony was working together to set up a la

Reaper Tales - Chapter 4 - A Blood Red Tale
Death walked back and forth in his cave. The recent events at Canterlot had really been a large problem for the whole reaper organization. Reapers had to keep a lower profile than before, as people had started to get aware of their existence. All this because four reapers had broken the code. The four reapers had a very good reason for why they did it, and he had already talked to Celestia about it. The four didn't have to be punished for it.
He was black, with a black mane that had white stars in it. His eyes were burning red, and his cutiemark was a skull with a scythe. His wings were huge, tattered and really old. He had never been able t

Reaper Tales - Chapter 5 - Unfaded Memory
The wagon was set up once again at the usual spot between Ponyville and the Everfree Forest. They had just returned from a mission, which hadn't ended as well as planned. Both Miasmic and Stormy had been poisoned and were now in urgent need of a potion to reverse the effect. Horror had managed to gather a sample, and now were they at Ponyville to get an antidote.
Director Cut grabbed the carved wooden box he had and nodded at Mintie. "I need you to make sure nobody enters. If anyone finds these two will our cover be blown."
Inside was Miasmic and Stormy still in their reaper shape, as they were unable to change. They were both looking sick.

Blood Fang laughed as he watched over Equestria from the modified cloud he used as a base. The feeling that he soon was going to destroy it was overwhelming. The only issue was that he needed the spark of chaos needed to start it.
Three ponies entered his chamber in the cloud base. One pegasus, one unicorn and an earth pony.
"Ah. There you three are. Finally." He smirked and looked at them. "Fleshwound, Backstab and Metalwings."
Fleshwound was the Earth Pony. He was dark red with red and black hair and red eyes. Besides him was Backstab standing. He was a dark green unicorn with green and black hair and also red eyes. Metalwings was standi

Reaper tales - Chapter 7 - Into the Ground
The underworld wasn't a nice place to be. Not only did it smell bad, but the sound from the souls of dead ponies filled the cave with an eerie sound. This was the place all the souls from the dead ponies had to pass through before they were sent onwards to a new universe. Here every soul passed through a waterfall that washed away all their memories, and their age, before they were separated into random gates that moved them to an unborn child, giving them a new life and a new family.
Death was in command down here, and he could select extra powerful souls and take them out, letting them decide if they wanted to cease existing and become a r

The rain was pouring down as they reached the place the Discord Statue once was. It was gone, but Discord was still there. He was dead. His body was lifeless, and so were his eyes.
"What happened?" Stormy looked at him.
"He had his powers and soul sucked out." Horror sighed. "The process demands four ponies."
"Then we should move on. There comes nothing productive from standing around a dead body." Miasmic looked around. "But where can they be?"
"Canterlot?" Darth Star looked at the castle. It was still suspended by the magical chains.
A guard came in for landing. "There you all are."
Horror looked at him. "What?"
"This is urgent." The
Mintie sighed. "Please tell me why we are here again "
The four were setting up the cart camp just outside a dense forest, just besides a camp of archeologists.
"We're here because Death wanted us to overlook this excavation." Director Cut looked into the forest, looking at the entrance to an underground temple.
The temple had been overgrown, looking like a part of the forest, so nobody had found it before now. There had been a sound coming from it, which had attracted somepony's attention.
"I don't know what's so dangerous about this temple." Blue sighed. "Cherrywood is a popular camping area, and we would have known if things wer
Director Cut sat outside, looking at the night sky. There wasn't a cloud in sight, and there were aurora lights flowing high up over them. They were a rare sight, and amazing whenever they came. He had been admiring then for five hours straight, so it was time to get some sleep.
The alarm clock rang 10:00 am, and Director poked his head out to see the valley bathing in the sun. This was not the case. The moon was still high up, and the aurora lights still dancing in the sky.
"What the " He yawned and shook his head. This didn't make any sense at all.
He walked out and looked around. Behind him were the others waking up and exiting he
