[This is my rewrite of my Elements of harmony: Divine grace sunshine]
Some number of years ago, the seven deadly sins were framed for the murder of Grand Master Zaratas. Knowing the secret to Escanor's power the holy knights chased him all the way throughout the kingdom of Liones during the night, only for him to fall into a cavern and for the royal knights to presume he is dead.
He wakes up in the capital of equestria, Canterlot. Being the only human in equestria, the upper members of society which inhabited Canterlot looked down upon him and treated him like the dust they walked on, while the children and mares called him a monster as he turned and laughed him off.
One day, a certain alicorn and upon seeing how badly he was treated, she offered him a job at her castle. Seeing as anything was better than living on the streets in a land he knew nothing about, he took the job not caring for what it was. The best part about it was that most of the stuff he needed to know for the job he was already good at.
This story takes place sometime around the end of season 1, I may possible update the blue tags if I need to in the future because this isn't purely romance. If you dislike the story please tell me what I can improve on and how.
3/11/21 - I managed to get onto the popular stories page, may not seem like much now, but it is a small step for a small writer.
3/12/21 - I think this may be my first ever featured story. I am so happy.
3/16/21 - Second time being featured, I'm glad everyone like my story so much.
3/19/21 - Featured Again? (even if only for a little while.)
1/24/22 - I was gone, but now I'm back!
Awww, despite the cruelty of xenophobic ponies such a sweet way to end the cgapter! I look forwards to seeing where this goes
this is good
I would have thought the Sin of Pride would have burned this whole place down a long time ago.

Escanor still hiding from the holy knights, but he doesn't know that they don't exist in this world. So that is the reason why he didn't do it, but he easily could.
10717983
They will still get their pathetic asses kicked IF Escanor didn't hold back his True Power!
Welp, an OP character whos solar powered and invincible at high noon who can be rather, ahem, "prideful" when full powered serving a solar princess who could choose to make it high noon 24/7. Theres no way I could see that THIS could go wrong lol.
10718097
You and me...
We have much in common.
10718028
wonder what will happen when he figures out the knights dont exist
You got my attetion
This sounds intriguing. But can he really use his Grace here? I mean it was daytime but I didn't see him change or anything. Actually it might be a good idea if the ponies help him control it.

My first comment, which I deleted, mistook your question for a different one. The answer to the question can he use sunshine, is yes. Why did it not appear, the glasses he wears suppress the effects of it, because they were only damaged and they didn't fall off, he never reached his daytime form. And I also planed to do something between Escanor, 'Tia, and possibly her sister as well to help teach Escanor how to control his power.
10718325
Hmm, interesting to see Alicorn of the Sun help the one with the Sun's power.
10718097
😈
*Chrysallis* I can't be defeated! I've absorb all Shing Armors love!
*Celestia" Ah yes, its noon. *Very large shadow falls over Bug queen*
*Chrysallis* RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Everyling for themselves!
I always questioned why he bothered to hide. Guys remarkably close to just being Deus Ex Machina.
10718325
oooh i forgot his glasses do that
10718662
He couldn't use his power during night time.....
10719080
Just means he has a time limit.
10719263
No, I mean, that no one in their right mind would suicide by fighting him during the day......
10718325
that would be interesting to see, as according to the Manga Escanor's power is/was the Lost discarded power of the Angel Mael, which happened when the Demon Gowther turned Mael into Estarossa.
it will be interesrting to see as Sunshine, the name of Escanor's power, is a Divine Grace, and not whole compatible with humans and burn his body and Lifeforce... and now I am picturing Celestia holding the/her Sun at high noon, while Escanor beats the Arrogance out of Tirek....
I am already liking were this story is going, please do more.
10719274
True. While there are quite a few holy knights who I’d say are not in their right minds most of the really dangerous ones are/were pretty sane.
Oooh, this seems like an interesting premise. Isn't Escanor the mustachioed bartender who becomes a total god after lunch?
10719722
Yes, but Right now he hasn't yet started rocking the mustache look we all know him for.
Has anyone told Nux Taku that this fic exists yet? Because he can't resist anything Escanor.
10719858
I don't think so, but I don't really like to self promote or draw attention to myself, so if you wish to tell him then it is all right with me.
So... Is this scene taking place at night? Or did something happen to Escanor’s magic when he ended up in Equestria?
10720241
It takes place during the day. The reason why he isn't in his daytime form is answered in the comment below this text.
10718325
Interesante.
I'm in

Okay I’m intrigued
Can't wait to see how Celestia reacts to his buff form, or the one form.
A great new chapter.
Good chapter looking forward to more from you!
10724108
You might be in the wrong place
R.i.p tias surprise offday. Loved the chapter!
so has he been transforming everyday and somehow hiding or has Escanor temporarely lost his power and will regain it later? I'm enjoying the story but confused by the lack of mention of "sunshine"
10724166
I answered this question once before.
His glasses were enchanted by Merlin to allow him to stay in his nighttime for, even if it is high noon outside.
10724175
hadn't they broken?
10724181
They probably were mended by now, sometime in-between chapter. Thank you for bringing this small plot hole to my attention so I can fix it.
10724187
;v
10724175
thank you, I probably skimmed right past that comment
noice 👌
I'm just waiting for his TRRRUUUEEE POOOWWWWEERRR to be revealed. Maybe I can read the original.
this is cool and all but, when will escanor get to kick ass?
10724368
10724361
Expect him to kick butt during the chapter after the next one.
10724383
but like escanor in the sun or normal escanor?
10724395
I guess you’ll just have to see.
very nice, mmm... very nice indeed
Not quite the zero to a hundred from calm to fighting one would expect. I kind of like it.
Those eyes were the same she saw whenever she looked in her reflection after banishing her sister. She did wish this upon any creature if she could help it.
Uh, that doesn't sound right
