Rewrite of A Knight's Tale: Present Dangers and Past Sorrows
For over a year, novice writer Sonnet Philosophy has lived a rather mundane life in the city of Fillydelphia -- keeping mostly to himself and burying his mind in his work. One day, however, the stallion receives an unexpected opportunity from generous strangers to fix a painful decision that he had made in his past life, as well as a chance to find those who forced him to make it. But in order for him to accomplish his wish, he will be forced to give in to his inner demons and be asked to plant seeds of conflict throughout Equestria and the world.
Meanwhile, Princess Twilight Sparkle, her fellow friends, and her new student of friendship, Starlight Glimmer, are suddenly brought into conflict with a radical group of ponies who plan to bring harm upon all sentient creatures who have little to no ancestral link to Equestria.
Through their own journeys, Sonnet, Twilight, and her friends will cross paths and will find themselves placed into a conflict that has been waged for many years. The outcome of this situation, and the welfare of the entire world, will be determined upon by Sonnet's ability to retain his remaining morals, as the Princess of Friendship must do what she can to ensure that the stallion will not slip into the grasp of darkness that haunts him.
