A human from Earth is invited through a portal to Equestria. But nothing is as it seems and he soon finds himself surrounded by more questions than answers. Can he survive long enough to learn how to fly, and, what will it cost him to do so?

Simon Carbuncle Baker is a failure, practically a college dropout who does not appreciate his family nor his education and definately not the world around him. Can he find the magic of friendship and, more importantly, can it help him sort out his problems?

I know "human in Equestria" has been done to death but I hope I can do it right. Part of this is my own "lets explore Equestria" as well as trying to explore (my version) of a few things that never really got explored. Be warned, this is "post season 3" so there IS an alicorn Twlight in this. That said, most (like, at least 90%) of my characters are going to be original characters.

Based on Agrol's Your nightmare video. A strange shadow pony starts attacking and killing in the small village of Brumby Junction, but for some reason, only the unicorns seem to be in any danger. To make matters worse, the sudden holiday season and mysterious nature means that the law is at a loss to try and fix things. Who could this mysterious shadow pony be, and why are they just attacking the unicorns?

Just an FYI, as a student of literature and as someone who's trying to improve his narative capabilities through writing (hence the fanfics) I take plagerism seriously, I got permission from Agrol before publishing this.
