Seeking Dusk


Myriad the ideas in eternal blossom, Meager the words ever written, such is the plight of the one Seeking

T
Source

The Sun and Moon; both powerful symbols of magic. This is a constant that seems to hold true across many worlds. When a conjunction of the two brings the power they represent to bear and the walls between worlds is breached as a result, one young man's life is changed. Having fallen from his own world, he lands in a realm of magic and populated by creatures he once considered fictional.

Now fate has left him with the expectations of adapting to this new world and the trials and complications that come with it. Amid it all, his passage stirs up old memories that some would rather have left lost and forgotten, while the world itself is left with the scar of his arrival.

While it is true that coincidences are common and not every event is an omen, the line between the two can be paper thin.

Good luck with this story, hope you do well. :twilightsmile:

If you need need help with story ideas then send me a message and I'll help the best I can.

Damn good story sir.

This has my attention :eeyup:. And already in popular stories! Well done! :twilightsmile:

My good sir, I saw your story on the front page, and both the tone of the description and that gorgeous image got me a fair bit curious.
Now I'm not the biggest fan of HiE fics shall we say, so for me to take the full plunge and read this blighter, I need to know one thing:
What's going to set your little tale apart from all the other HiE fics?

4774019 That's a good question, and not one easy to answer. All I can really say is that it's my story. True, there are other HiEs out there, but never one done by me, with my ideas and my style. I can only work towards making it as best as I can.

Interesting story so far, but thise stupid Lulu and Tia kinda ruin the mood

Well, I'm liking it so far. Lulu is an interesting pet/nickname, but I'll let it slide since they're sisters and them using such names in private or in concern would probably not be that uncommon. Glad to see you got that one glaring typo out of the way already. (Seriously, did Yellow even try to proof read this? :facehoof:)
Please continue, I must see how Caleb deals with talking ponies (and vice versa) ^^

4777418 As long as your character DOESN'T turn into a pony, I'm good.

If you let your jaw hang like that, you’ll catch fly.

Just one, Twilight?

Also, it's a bit odd that nobody actually mentions Luna's name whilst introducing her.

4881474 Wow... I have no idea how I missed that. I should probably fix that... Or just assume that she really did forget to mention her name when she gave her title and he had to figure it out during the conversation.

And also the fly error. Thank you for your keen eyes :twilightsmile:

I don't think ANYONE can be ready for a Pinkie. :pinkiehappy:

4885950 XD yeaaaaaahhh....no one is ready for pinkie EVER IN THE HISTORY OF EVER

I would respond to that with, "Fuck it, I'mma have an aneurism."

Griffons aren't bipedal.

4889956 True, but both Gilda and Gustave demonstrated that it's easier for a griffon to hold a bipedal stance than a pony. And the night is filled with spooky things~

I expect Fulttershy's reaction to be to steal him away from Twilight to 'help him get better' thinking him monkey or some such.

I've actually tasted dandelion stems and heads wen I was young. They weren't very good as far as I was concerned. The leaves are actually tasty in salads and even healthy with vitamin C. :twistnerd:
On the other hoof, I found a recipie this year for dandelion flower buds, when they are small and round, about 1/2 inch or smaller.
Basically take 1/2 cup to a cup of buds, put then in a saute' pan and lightly saute' them with chopped garlic and butter for several minutes... :pinkiehappy:

Dandelions aren't good. They're very bitter and the smell practically screams toxic. Never mind that humans can't digest them.

4964059 Admittedly, they are bitter, but they aren't poisonous. On the contrary, they are pretty good for you, a decent source of vitamin C. The ones that grow as weeds are apparently very bitter. Wild Ones are said to be better. Maybe cultivated ones as well. I've never had a chance to try them personally.

Daffodils are poisonous though, to both equines and humans. I'm going to be assuming they aren't poisonous in the MLPverse.

4939918 That sounds likes a good recipe. A very good one, actually... Now I want sauteed dandelion buds...

4964179
I live in Sweden, and they grow practically everywhere here. They are extremely bitter, trust me. I didn't say they were toxic, I said they smell toxic, as if you're putting your nose to an acid. :heart:

Twilight giggled and pushed me into the press of people so I could introduce myself.

Ponies not people

can you make him less like a obedient dog?

“Should I grab my notes?”

I've never reviewed anything before a test/quiz and have only written notes when I'm forced to.

and you did it you turned him into a pony :facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::facehoof::twilightangry2::pinkiesick:

JBL

Can you let me know if you plan to keep him a pony so I'll know if to keep reading?

5152258 Nay. It is a temporary spell effect. How long it lasts depends on how wordy the the planned story line is. Chapter or two. No plans on it being permanent. Last two chapters was planned to be one. That didn't quite work out as intended.

GMD

It's a good story. Just... try not being to formal next time. :twilightsmile:

GMD

...Caleb? Is that a Canadian name?

5192793 I'll be honest; It's a name :twilightsheepish:
I don't think it's the most common name, but I've met a few.

As for the formal, I'm pretty sure the tone loosened as the chapters went on. I did try to keep it for Luna and Celestia's PoV though.

I feel for him, i really do. An adult blankflank found by these three?

And a Happy Nightmare Night! :raritywink:

5193216 Now that is a truly terrifying image. :rainbowlaugh:

Shouldn't Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy be twenty-one since as Fluttershy said to Pinkie Pie in "Griffon, the Brush Off" "I'm a year older than you"

5196992 Fluttershy is Twenty-one. Caleb's Twenty-one at the moment, but his birthday is coming up. He's a few months older than she is.

5197061 Think I misread the explanation of ages for some reason I think I saw her as twenty two probably because he said he'd be that age in a couple of weeks. Surprised you didn't have Pinkie pop in after that comment seeing how she is with parties

question: the human turned pony is just temporal or it will last until the end of the story, i know i am asking for an spoiler so feel free to answer in a PM

He doomed. Dooooooooooooooooooooooooom!:scootangel::unsuresweetie::applecry:

Shoulda turned him into a taco. A living taco.

Funny part at the end!:pinkiehappy:

:rainbowlaugh: I was wondering when the lack of cloths at the end would come up. Well played

Reading the description, didn't the first eclipse happen durring discord's reign or the NMM incident?

5322507 I wouldn't put it past Discord to have made a few, but he seemed to like Juggling them more than anything. With the way the celestial cycle works in Equestria, the NMM Incident was likely the first, and possibly one of, if not the only, eclipse they have seen.

5324079
ouch, a reminder to the day she got possesed...

:trixieshiftleft: I thought daffodils were poisonous to people. Along with most other flowers.

5406594 That it is. It is also poisonous to horses. So for the sake of not be narrative I went with the idea that Equestrian daffodils are non-toxic. Or at least a much lower level of toxicity, so bitter. Plus, he doesn't know which flowers are and are not edible, only that some are.

5197061 Recent canon (EqG movies) actually puts their ages somewhere in the late teens (16-19), FYI.

5410878 But... but... my carefully calculated and projected ages! :fluttercry:
Alas. Is this the HuMane 6 or Mane Six ages though? (I suppose I could stick an alt. universe tag on this if it becomes a big issue.)

5152621 THANK YOU. Too many authors use "pony transformation" as a 'get-out-of-jail-free card'.

5410979 I'll admit to loving my ponification fics, but Eclipse Born isn't one of them. It's a [magic wielding] human in equestria fic. He's discovered a ponification spell. Temporary, moderate to heavy magic consumption at the time of casting, steady drain on magic for it's duration and admittedly potentially useful in the long run. But it is, in both form and function, a temporary spell. More akin to a changeling's skill than anything else.
