A son saves his father, and both are whisked away. In their journey, a new world is found. New friends are made. A new threat rises. A new power is uncovered. And the first chapter to a new legend is written. Part one of the "To Walk the Sky" series.

Co-written by Nasubrony and proofread by the Psychopath.

The age of chaos has come to an end. The Avatar of Chaos, Discord, has been defeated by the valiant actions of the newly-minted alicorn sisters. Their courageous victory has earned them the adoration of their hometown of Evergreen, and they now seek to unite all of ponykind under their banner.

In the disconnected world left in the wake of Discord's reign however, theirs is not the only story to be told. Not all of them even start in their world, for that matter.

Geralt is a unassuming man living a comfortable but mundane existence. While not dissatisfied with his own life, he has always dreamed of what it would be like to make more of himself. To be able to live a life of adventure and glory, to steer the wheels of history.

Fate has smiled upon on him and granted him the opportunity to do so when he is swept away by a chaotic winter storm across worlds, finding himself in a new feathery body. He soon finds himself taking the first steps and rising above anywhere he thought he could reach as he defends his new home, and begins to build a shining beacon of prosperity that will resound throughout the ages.

But victory comes only to the prepared, and the road to his dreams will be long and hard. It is world filled with all manner of mysteries, monsters, and rivalries. A world where a land is kept safe by the armies that it fields. And so Geralt will resolve to stand tall, to defend his lands and his people, and to see his banner flying forevermore.

A nation fractured and surrounded by enemies, a physically weak ruler who struggled daily to maintain an empire that weakened with each passing year. Together with nobles increasingly ambitious and emboldened as the emperor's authority dwindled.

All this added up to a powder fuse for a nation that would explode into conflict with the ambition of the various duchies and counties that already wielded considerable power.

And in the middle of all this chaos, he is born.

An old spirit in a young body. The first and only heir of the Von Greifenstein dynasty and the last hope of a declining Griffonian Empire.

Grover the Sixth, Emperor of the Griffons.

In 2089, the International Colonization Initiative established Delta Base, an outpost on an asteroid in the outer rim of the solar system. From here, mankind planned to launch their most ambitious mission yet: a research mission to establish the race's first extrasolar colony. The first probes manufactured at the midway point were launched in 2091 and traveled to the nearby Alpha Centauri star system. While the data they beamed back was optimal and showed reasonably terraformable planets, it also revealed something that would change human history forever. After catching the attention of a Galactic Council scout ship, humanity was introduced to an organization comprised of ancient beings that were millennia more advanced than humanity. Ousted as primitives, mankind was protected under only a treaty with the Council that merely encouraged the more advanced species not interfere with humanity's path to what the Council considers adequately mature.

However, those suggestions went largely unheeded by the ancients. what began as an innocent outpost on Pluto by the Ofshin, a race of feathered bird-like creatures, that was hesitantly tolerated by the United Nations out of fear. However, this minor violations opened the floodgates for the other member species to begin encroaching on human territory. After all, man was viewed as an animal, practically. In the face of this obvious threat, humankind reorganized itself into the United Terran Empire. Now, they only had one thing on their mind: preserving man's rightful place amongst the stars. Subsequently, this meant gaining the attention of the Galactic Council, and the only way to do that was to "mature." Research and development of science and mathematics became the forefront of society and a tier-based caste system was adopted to increase social efficiency.

Now, it has been 500 years since the adoption of this new form of government. The progress that has been made is astounding, to say the least. Not only has mankind devised the basics of at least every technology the ancients have developed, but humans were also able to leverage this impressive display of ingenuity to earn themselves a seat on the Council, becoming the youngest race to join. However, they still have far to go. Right now, humanity is looked down upon, not as primitives but rather as delinquents. The galaxy feels as though man does not deserve such a quick pass into the Council when the others had to earn their place through thousands of years of tedious and thorough scientific advancement.

How was humanity to climb this now insurmountable ladder of galactic respect? Equestria may hold the answer as magic is unraveled to reveal the true history of human and ponykind in the universe.

The Princesses find an alien creature barely clinging to life at the scene of a terrifying crash. Can the Combined Power of the Elements of Harmony save it, or more importantly, should they save it? Will the arrival of this strange creature tear Equestria apart?

For Rainbow Dash, seeing is believing. When her friend Twilight Sparkle told her that "electricity is harmful to humans with enough likelihood that you should definitely not zap Anon with lightning bolts", she didn't listen. After all from the two of them, it was Dash who saw more creatures zapped with lightning. Most of those occurrences were her doing as well. And so she decided to knock down two apples with one stone - teach her book loving friend a lesson about who the real weather expert is, and cure the local oddity that was Anonymous the Human from his irrational fear. Oh, and of course have a blast doing it.

Things don't exactly go according to her plan however, and she ends up creating a bigger mess than she could comprehend - not only for herself and her target, but also a certain somepony who will have to abandon her ancient traditions and improvise on the spot.

Formerly marked mature for uncouth language and the death theme. I now have an actual 'death' tag though, so I dropped it down.

What happens when a Survivor of Rapture escapes the city due to a experimental teleport plasmid with most of his insanity intact, Boris does not know, but what he does know is that he is going to open his B&B just like his grandmother said he should and by god he is not going to let any of this new world bull stop him.

Now if only those pony nobility would stop harassing his customers, as long as they're paying he will defend them, he doesn't care if it's runaway princesses, or fugitives of the state, ore even insane chaos sprits, their paying customers, so anyone else can f***off. And no, just because some are staying for free does not mean he finds any of them adorable or is a sucker for sob stories, so just SHUT UP.

[Rationalfic Deconstruction / Subversion of Displaced]
You’ve read the stories of people from Earth being “Displaced”: Their bodies are changed, their minds are warped, and they’re thrown across the multiverse, to whatever world and timeline their supernal "Displacers" decide upon.  Well, this story isn’t one of them...

...because when they tried to remake me, I didn’t let them.

A Rationalist Horror story, in which an Occultist from some version of Earth (implied to be the World of Darkness) undermines her own Displacement and ends up as a Self-Modifying Construct. Scientific Inquiry, Philosophical Debate, Rational Discussion, Body Horror, and Existential Hijinks ensue. Themes, Concepts, and Style inspired by HP Lovecraft, Elizer Yudkowsky, Gordon R Dickson, Edgar Allen Poe, Modern Prometheus (Frankenstein), Dresden Codak, World of Darkness, and Friendship is Optimal.
^{Front page on JUL 28th, AUG 12th, OCT 30, and every update after that.}

Your story breaks the shitty norm that most displaced stories have in common by being an 'actually interesting story' instead of a powertrip for a horny teen.

This is like brain porn. My head hurts but in a good way.

Author’s Notes

I often find Displaced fics to be more often Miss than Hit with me. Often, they're generic, poorly written, or just do not do anything worth reading with the concept.  This is an experiment to trt out a few other concepts which aren’t used often, even by me, including some which directly subvert Displaced as a genre, and maybe even come up with some advice for those authors. This is also a crossover with the upcoming Dragon: The Oroboroi Chronicles, a World of Darkness rulebook which I lead the development team for.

I hope you all enjoy this, and I implore you to leave some feedback in the comments section: I'll experimenting with a few uncommon concepts here, and I'd like to know how people feel about how they're coming across. :3

FAQ

Because people keep bringing these things up...

Horror/Dark Tags

I've had multiple people ask "how bad does it get?" Note the lack of the "gore", "sad", or "mature" tags or anything like that. Yes, there is blood and death at some point in this story, but the real horror of this story comes from the philosophical and scientific quandaries the characters go through: this is "intellectual horror", not "visceral horror".

Length

In the interest of this NOT becoming one of those long, sprawling fics, I plan to keep this limited to a manageable 10 chapter limit, not counting Prologue and Epilogue. No one wants to read something that long, and I'd rather not be stressing over this 6 months from now.

Sequel

The Sequel is already in the works, with scenes already written. It will be a more episodic story revolving around world optimization and interplanar hijinks.

Crossovers

To be clear, I do plan on having the main character make one of those "Token" things, but as they often get in the way of actual stories, that won't happen until the end of the story. The Sequel will be crossover-heavy.
