Have you ever wanted to explore strange new cultures? To experience the world beyond the boundaries of your own city? Your country?

Dax Blackwater took that oppourtunity.

Have you ever wanted to show the wonders of your culture to another? To prove to the world that you're better than the stereotypes and propoganda?

Illiad Easle jumped at the chance.

This is the story of these two ponies, two different cultures coming together in the name of the cultural exchange.

Now with chapter commentary by my wonderful Co-Author Randimaxis

(The romance tag is not between Dax and Illiad in case you guys were wondering)

Tagged AU as this story diverges from cannon at the start of S4, and of course the inclusion of a whole other nation.

I don't know what vile force decided to dump me on this planet without the courtesy of letting me change out of my PJs, but he/she/it had less than benevolent intentions. I came to that conclusion the moment I woke up next next to an irritable, jumbo-sized bird of prey by the name of Gilda.

The good news is that human doesn't seem to be on the local diet, Gilda's family are far more docile than her, and there may just be a shot at seeing Earth again if this world's magic is to be trusted.

The bad? Said chance at getting home is far too interested in picking my brains apart or otherwise using me up for comfort. Then there’s the small matter of the many crushing, stabbing, and get-blown-to-bits, hazards associated with a world full of mythical creatures. Oh, did I mention that I was allergic to the natives?

Seriously, if this is the cosmos' idea of entertainment, something's gone terribly wrong.

Things are hard in Ponyville for Fluttershy and Discord; mainly because of Discord. But when magic starts to go on the fritz and eventually starts failing altogether, it's up to the main six and the Draconequus to find out what's causing it and, more importantly, how to fix it.

This would be a lot easier if anypony trusted the King of Chaos to begin with, but with bigger problems on the horizon, some things will have to wait to be dealt with. Like trust. Or loyalty. Or friendship.

Of course, sometimes what we think isn't important to deal with right now, is exactly what's needed to prevent things from getting far, far worse.
