They called him The Writer. He comes from a system known as Dien. He is the ruler and protector of this world and has loved his people and served as their king for hundreds of years. But in the blink of an eye it is all wiped out. An old foe wields a weapon of ultimate destruction and burns all of Dien in mere moments. Not even the Writer can stop him. In a desperate, last ditch effort, the Writers friends create a portal through space and hurl him through it against his will praying that he will find a safe place to hide and that his survival will bring back the power of Dien. Lost, broken, and filled with a sadness and rage unlike anything, the fallen king crashes on a world called Equestria. The denizens try their best to heal the broken man but there is more to this king than meets the eye. With the help of the Elements of Harmony and many others, The Writer sets out to find a way to curb his wrath and bring his home back from Destruction.

Harmony is gone.

A world is in flames and ruin.

And a human wakes up in a hospital bed.

Thus begins the Ballad.

A human with strange new limbs and senses awakens to an even stranger world that has suffered a terrible apocalypse.

He remembers nothing save for his name.

And the only things directing him.....are the letters left behind.

Now he must find the one who brought him to this world and find out why he is so important here.

He must find Harmony.

And put back the order of the world.

A big thanks to Angles for pre-reading the story.

In this alternate universe of planet Earth, a totalitarian government called the Republic of Chance has taken over the northern american continent and wages war against the world while everyone who lives under it suffers day to day. But one man isn't going to go out without a fight. He is a schizophrenic man named Jacob and using his skills and prowess and love of fire he sets out as a terrorist known as The Firestarter in hopes of getting the people to rise up and destroy the corrupt government they have come to fear. He swears never to give up until his world is saved and he has finally had his revenge but then all of his plans are torn askew when the Element of Kindness, the pony Fluttershy appears in his home hiding from the cruel world outside and desperate to get home. After Jacob realizes that he cant just abandon her and that he might be able to escape this world with her he makes an unbreakable promise to get her home. But he cant give up on his world either. Will he succeed or will he end up destroying himself and both worlds together? With the help of the Seven Voices that guide him from within his own mind and the kind and healing Fluttershy at his side, The Firestarter is about to take on the biggest challenge faced by anyone, ever.

Here's something you probably don't know about the workings of the universe. In between each dimension is a space known as The Ether. Here a force known as The Guardians patrol the boundaries between each of the galaxies. When a leak is found they quickly fix it and restore balance to the universe. But suddenly a catastrophe has struck, multiple leaks have been detected and they are all flowing down to a single dimension that holds a single solitary world known as Equestria. Creatures are using the leaks to invade the world and the Guardians are fearful for the survival of the Equestria. The amount of damage could tear it apart. So they call in their top agent. He is a being known as the Wanderer. A human in appearance he is nothing short of amazing, able to change into any shape and wield any weapon. His powers are limitless and his ego matches it. Is Equestria ready to handle a visit from an unstoppable and over-charismatic enigma?

As Big Mac would say: "Nnnope"
