Follow the world of My Little Pony through the eyes of two creatures unheard of. One is Stolen Royalty, the other is an unknown man of faith. Will they survive the challenges? Win or Lose? Only time and the powers above know.

Shadows moved in the dark, golden eyes follow, yet they go unseen. Why?

(First fic)

Sequel: Wargs of Fire and Blade Book II (lol, I don’t know why I didn’t add this earlier)

It was a question. A simple question. One not yet recognized for its importance as all great discoveries tend to start.

Before the Discourse Era, around the period of Unification and Equestria's founding, before the reign of the Royal Sisters and during the rule of Platinum's bloodline, ponies had limited exposure to many species of Terrae. Many factors contributed to this: The Three Tribes themselves were still working out their differences
and as a prey species ponies had an instinct in the herd to avoid straying far from the rest-- at best the interactions most known before Discord were with the Dragons, Griffons, Bison, and Saddle Arabians. All creatures that shared the same proximity with the Equestrians and so ultimately wasn't much of a stretch in terms of exposure, and more of a inevitable result of acquiring new land.

Say what you will but Discord's appearance in the world itself would mark not just a change for the world but an introduction to various species unknown that would start a future beginning for the Royal Sisters.

Star Swirl, a pony whose name appears randomly throughout multiple centuries, was the only pony to ask the one question no one wanted to ask years following Discord's defeat and it was a simple question: "Where were all the draconequui?"

There was no answer to this question. No one had wanted an answer. And there was no easy way to have it solved during that time.

And so, he set out to find one. And find one he did...a few centuries later.

An entry in the Chaosverse

Jacob Klein, a science teacher from Connecticut, never expected to witness the arrival of extraterrestrial intelligence in his lifetime, let alone see it trying to eat his wife's flowers. Nor did he expect the being in question to be something out of his twin daughters' cartoons, preaching about friendship and eager to learn about human science.

After choosing to go to the government, Jacob went from being an Average Joe to an international celebrity. Within days, his picture appeared in papers around the world, he met numerous politicians, and numerous news stations have asked him for interviews.

As a teacher, Klein enjoys the company of a creature who loves science.

He doesn't enjoy his newfound fame, however. He is a somewhat cynical man who dreads becoming a pawn to the powers that be, and fears the changes both to his own world and his life.

However, when his new pony friend discovers a dark chapter in human history, Klein must become humanity's defender, arguing that humanity and ponykind aren't doomed to kill each other.

A difficult task, especially since his own family's history is marred by that dark chapter.

This fic is a slight AU. The Equestria Girls world doesn't exist.

Rated teen for slight language and discussions of World War II.

The Wasteland: a place where all that is good and pure dies. Men may hold to ideals they find good, yet they can rarely ever meet them. Democracy, freedom, safety, all are just words to be thrown around by corrupt bureaucrats wanting to secure more power. A place where the hero is the villain, and the madmen are the heroes.

Equestria: the land of plenty, where ponies can go their entire lives without a single issue or problem. Where the good are told they thrive, and where ponies are told no evil survives. Freedom, safety, harmony, the ideals everything is supposed to meet. The heroes have time to throw parties, and the villains are never heard from.

Yet all it takes is one man to save both the realms. One man to cleanse the Wasteland, and one man to reveal the truth to the Equestrians.

The Courier.

This story is a sequel to The Phoenix King

The Winter Solstice is fast approaching. A celebration that the Kingdom of the Frozen North holds most dear, marked by festivals and rituals that honor the spirits that are believed to inhabit the Northern Lights. Only this year, it will be Princess Sapphire's turn to commune with the spirits, and have the ancient power of the Frozen North passed down to her through the Great Caribou spirit.

A prince by the name of Lord Acrylic Snowfall from Southern Ice Kingdom has come to ask for Lady Sapphire's hoof in marriage that would unite the two Kingdoms of ice and snow. Yet, something about this new colt has lit a fire under Smolder, but struggles to understand the feelings he has for Princess Sapphire and how it differs from the ones he has for Tea Herbal.

Smolder will have to come to terms with his feelings quickly, as a new evil lurks within the cold of the North, a dark force that desires this ancient power of the Great Caribou. For if this power were to fall into the wrong hooves... it could bring all of Equestria into a second ice age.

The search for the Sombra and the Philosopher's Stone has failed. Years have passed since Celestia and Saber Ford departed from Equestria's shores, with nothing to show of their relentless hunting- and facing the haunting truth that their foe may have already found the long-elusive prize.

Desperate to preserve her people, Celestia is given a key to an ancient, timeless place- the Palace of Infinity, a gateway to another universe. Countless worlds span the horizon, and within its great depths lies the treasure they seek. But deep within the Palace lie strange new worlds, and incredible dangers.

And none who enter have ever returned.

My swan song and farewell to this place.

Captain Galen and his for-hire crew were well known for taking odd and dangerous jobs. Be it mapping dangerous areas to taking emergency distress calls, the crew had seen it all. After a solid two weeks of back to back work, the crew looked forward to dropping off a captured criminal and getting some rest. An urgent request interrupts their plans however, and they are tasked with kidnapping a Princess to keep her out of murderous claws.

But all is not what it seems, and before the dust settles relationships will be forged and tested as the foundations of kingdoms are shaken to their roots. What started as a odd yet straightforward two-week job now has no end in sight, and there are no safe harbors from the storms of war that loom on the horizon.
