The tale of a long forgotten being who returns to an ancient, familiar world in the form of a young man. As his journey takes him across vast landscapes, he discovers more about the nature of his new reality; more than any thinking creature could hope to know.

Note: This story is currently in hiatus and undergoing some serious revisions.

A new resident has arrived in Equestria. A stallion that calls himself Shadowmere has made Ponyville his home, but he is not your typical gentlecolt. The younger foals are terrified of him, and the older ponies are suspicious of him. Princess Celestia is willing to give this odd creature a chance to live amongst her subjects, but even her majesty has a limit on patience.
