In the depth of physical and mental torment, the Survivor King has arrived in the midst of Equestria. Hanging for nine days above the broken concrete landscape of his home, the knowledge of the Old ways whisper into his ear.

He is the sky of the night's light and will forge the land through his actions.
Alongside the members of Equestria's royal Guard, they will defend land and country from all threats, either foreign or domestic.

Twilight and her friends might have sealed him again in stone. The God of Chaos would not be beaten so easily and sent some of the most important ponies to the Elements of Harmony far away.

They may return.
If they do, they will never be the same.

Discord has existed since the beginning of time, forced to suffer as a mere spirit called entropy. When he escaped his ethereal prison, he committed horrifying acts against the cosmos in retribution. Leading to the extinction of humanity from the lands of Equistria.

Now, after the fall of Tirek, Discord contemplates his life and what it means to be forgiven. His one chance to make up for this crime lies in the stone body of one of his victims. His body beaten and mind broken, the soldier Discord tormented before will live again. Forced to live in in a body that is not his, this man must learn to accept a new life and the lessons Equestria will teach him.

Matthew was a normal child when the end of the world happened. Darkness erupted from the Earth, casting demons onto the people of Earth. Matthew should have died when the demons poisoned his soul with darkness, but he survived.

He fought for humanity for years alongside others of his kind.
Humanity in return, cast him out and into the void with no hope of returning home.
Now Matthew will remain in the realm of Equestria for the rest of his days.
With some luck, he might just find the happiness he has always longed for.

Some slight swearing, but kept to a minimal.
