A thousand years ago when in the magical land of Equestria. Humans and Ponies lived in harmony and lived as equals through out the lands. Humans and Ponies have shared knowledge of the use of tools, trades, diplomacies, and magic. The Humans have learned very quickly with the new knowledge of magic given as did the ponies learn the use of tools and mechanics.
But one day in the Magic Academy of humans, one human has learned a two rare elements that no human had possessed in their lives. Light. But a fatal accident had happened and discovers he not only has light, he has Darkness. The headmasters of the Academy have said they have no knowledge of about this new talent, and informed the Ponies for assistance, transferring the boy to Canterlot.
It was hard being the only human in an academy only for ponies. But he endured it, because he has a path he has chose, to protect Equestria from the fall of evil. He has spent every available time studying to learn to control his powers. As his knowledge grew, so did his power, as his power, so did his heart. But when there is Light, there will be Darkness.
Princess Celestia has saw the human's potential and pronounce him to be her protector and was named "The Grey."
But when night never sets. Nightmare Moon rises and vows to let the night last forever. For some reason, the human civilization had disappeared, no one had seen them since Nightmare Moon's reign.
The Grey told Celestia to get the elements of harmony as he fends of Nightmare Moon. The battle was fierce, the first human to ever face against a powerful Alicorn, fighting in even battle. But before Princess Celestia came back with the Elements, Nightmare Moon cast curse upon The Grey, making his power and mind to grow into darkness as she gave him immortality to suffer. Celestia uses the Elements of Harmony and permanently seal her sister away from. But at what cost?
The Grey is now the last human to remain on Equestria, his curse slowly spreading like poison. He now leaves Canterlot and ventures of to the world of Equestria, hoping to find a cure.
A lavender color Unicorn named Twilight Sparkle, laid next to a tree with some open books lay besides her. "The Elements of Harmony, The Grey?" she said to her self. "Where have I heard of them before?"
A large figure in a large grey cloak with hood. He stood on two legs and his arms length down below his waist. His right hand held a walking stick and the left held on a sling of a large pack with a staff attached to the pack. Though his left arm is more armored in silver, along with chains and symbols of sealing runes. He walks down the road down to the little town called Ponyville. He then stops and looks at the sight of the little town. He stabs the walking stick to let it stand and uses his free hand to lift his hood up to reveal a structured hairless face, only the top of his head is shagged with black hair. His right eye that is brown and the other is dark red.
He lets out a gently smile. "Ponyville, it hasn't changed one bit." He said and picks up his walking stick and continues walking down to Ponyville. "I wonder how Wheela is doing?" he said as he felt a gust of wind blew behind him, the leaves were carried with the wind and glide to Ponyville.
In a large house about half a mile away from Ponyville and next door to Sweet Apple Acres. An orange colored Pegasus mare with light purple main and tail swept the front porch to brush of the leaves with a broom in her hooves, She then felt a gentle breeze with the light from the sun shine to her, she took notice as she felt a presence of someone she dearly loves. "...Chris?"
The Twilight in Canterlot gallops to the library, passing by anypony and ignoring them. "I know I heard of them before?" she said to herself and gallops to library doors.
A small purple dragon, walking on his hind legs and in his claws held a small present as he walks to the door. But that didn't go to well when the doors flung open, punched the small dragon across the room.
"Spike! SPIKE! Spike?" Twilight cried out for someone in the library. The small purple dragon presumed Spike got up as he rubs the back of his head. "There you are." she presumed and gallops up the stairs. "Quick find me an old copy of "Predictions and Prophecies." she ordered the little dragon and saw a present screwed to the poor fellows tail. "What's that for?"
Spike turn to his tail. "It's a present for Moon Dancer." he said as he plucks the present out of his tail.
Twilight runs to the stack of books and starts digging through them. "Oh Spike you know we don't have time for that sort of thing." she stated.
"But we're on a break?" Spike protested.
Twilight uses her horn that glows light indigo, levitating the books from the shelves. "No, no, no." she said as she examines the covers and putting them aside. "No, no, NO! Ugh SPIKE!"
"It's over here." Spike said on top of the ladder at the top shelf with a book in his claws. The book started to glow causing it to fly and drag Spike to the floor in front of Twilight.
"Ah!" she said and takes the book from her assistant and trots to a reading stand. Leaving Spike to stand and pick up the books. "Elements, elements..." She scans the pages. "See "Mare of the Moon?"
""Mare of the Moon"" Spike said confusingly. "But that's just an old Pony's Tale."
Twilight got on another floor as she flip through the pages. "Mare, Mare, Aha!" she said as she stops at the page she was looking for. "The Mare of the Moon. A Myth of old Pony times, A powerful Pony who wanted to rule Equestria. Fought of against the Powerful human sorcerer "The Grey" see The Grey page 231. And was defeated by the Elements of Harmony, and sealed in the moon. But on the longest day of the thousand year, the stars will aid her escape and make the night to eternal." She then picked out the book and turns to page 231. "The Grey is the most powerful sorcerer, first to control Light and Darkness. Using this power, he vowed to protect Equestria. But in the final battle of the Eternal Night, Nightmare Moon cast a curse upon "The Grey," Making him immortal and to be swallowed by his dark powers. Spike do you know what this means?"
"No." he said as he struggles on the latter as he tries to put a book back into its shelf, until he lost his balance and began to fall, but he was saved by Twilight.
"Spike, take a note please." she said as she levitates a parchment and quale to her assistant.
"Okey dokie." Spike said and gets off and starts scribbling the parchment.
"Achoo!" The Human sneezes right next to a cake shop Called Sugarcube Corner. "Man I hope I don't get a cold." he said to himself as he enters the shop. He was now surprised to see all of the cakes of different size and shape. He looked at the cashier to see a or a very light blue coat mare with a swirl frosting main and tail.
"We're sorry but we're very busy please comeback tomorrow-" She looks up from the cash register and gasp with surprise. "Chris is that you?" said the shocked mare.
The Human named Chris smiles and nods. "The one and only Mrs. Cake, my you haven't aged one bit?"
Mrs. Cake giggles slightly. "Awe always a charmer." She then turns to the kitchen door. "Sweetheart, get out here, there's someone you should meet!"
"In a minute Honeybunch!" he said and came out the door. He was a tall yellow coated stallion wearing an apron and cooking hat. On his back looked to be a heavy looking cake and his legs wobble to hold on to it. He took another step but he trips, letting the cake to fall. Chris acted quickly and pulls out his staff from his pack. The cake and the stallion glow bright white, making them freeze in air. The stallion looks at his surrounding and sighs in relief. "Phew, thanks a bunch...Chris?"
Chris chuckles lightly, using his power to let the stallion on his Hooves and letting the Cake float and land on the table. "Good to see you too Mr. Cake."
Mr. Cake walks up to Chris and pats him on the shoulder. "It's been far too long Chris, I haven't seen you since our wedding," He then sighs at the memories.
"Sure has Mr. Cake," The Human sighs also. "So what's the word when I was gone?"
Mr. Cake chuckles proudly. "Well... I don't mean to brag but," he turns to Mrs. Cake who walks out of the counter, showing her bulging stomach.
Chris's eyes widened to see the sight. "Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Cake!" he cheers for them.
Mr. Cake walk to Mrs. Cake's side. "Why thank you, two buns are in the oven and I can't wait for them to come out." she giggles happily.
Chris could only smile the sight of a lovingly family, he then remembers why he's here. "Oh, Mr. Cake I like to order a small chocolate heart cake."
Mr. Cake smiles and wants to the counter and places the small gift wrapped box next to the cash register. "A certain special somepony you like to see again?"
Chris smiles and digs his pocket for bits. "Yeah the only special somepony."
"No, no, this ones on the house since you saved my cake and head." Mr. Cake insisted.
The human smiles gently and takes the box. "Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cake I'll be seeing you around soon."
Chris walks out of the shop and heads out to Sweet Apple Acres.
In the streets of Ponyville, a small orange little Pegasus filly zoom across the road on her scooter, wearing her safety helmet and her little wings helping her motorize with her scooter. She then zooms by Sweet Apple Acres and to the large house next door to Carrot Top and the Apple farm.
On the front porch of the large house is the Orange Pegasus mare laying on the swing bench with a book in front of her. "Mom I'm home!" The orange mare looks away from her book to see her little filly just zoomed up the road.
"Scootaloo?" said the mother and stood on the floor. "What are you doing out of school?"
Scootaloo slows down and parks her scooter, galloping to her mothers side and gave her a heart filled love. "The school let us out early because they wanted to help out the Summer Sun Celebration."
"Oh right." the mother understands now. "Come inside Scootaloo, time to get ready for tonight."
"Ok mom." Scootaloo responded and trots to the door.
"Wheela, Scootaloo?" said a mysterious voice. The two ponies turn to the road a human standing in front of them, just a few meters from the house.
The mother name Wheela and her daughter Scootaloo were shocked to see a being in front of their home. Tears began to form in their eyes. No...not fear or mortal terror. They're tears of joy.
"Dad/Chris?" Scootaloo's and Wheela's voice tremble a little.
"It's me..." Chris began to cry a little. "I'm home."
The two mares dash to the humans arms. Chris with all his might held the mares in his arms, they all cried in happiness. A family once again.
