Today is Princess Twilight Sparkle’s 500th birthday, and her most faithful student, an earth pony with a familiar name, can’t wait to celebrate!

Notes:
- Cover art by ErinKarsath, used with permission. Check out her DeviantArt page.
- This is a story in the Birthdayverse, and you can find the sequel here.
- Many thanks to my faithful Pre-Reader and all around super-duper best pony, Blood Lord. Go read his story, too!
- This was written during the season 3 hiatus of MLP:FiM.

I had a great life. No problems. Good friends. Good family. Good life. I even got to enjoy a bit of adventure on my vacations. Just about all of that went down the tubes when I got zapped into a land of cartoon ponies. I didn't even like cartoons. That's not too bad, but the worst part was that when I apparently got shape shifted I lost my sight. It took a while for me to figure it out, but on the whole, my good life was gone entirely.

Set in the universe created by Rust in his fic The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog. Used with permission.
Now set in its own universe.
First four chapters changed a little so they're no longer in the Chessverse. Nothing really significant though.
Additional tags and characters will be added as the story progresses.

My name is Eric, Eric James Carlson if you want to be formal and this is my story of how I got sent to Equestria by the Eris, the greek God of Chaos because Discord presented her with a game but i find out that Equestria isn't the land of sunshine and puppy dogs that it is on the TV show. Now i have to figure out what I'm gonna do while I'm here and stuck in the middle of a three-sided war. Admittedly I took a few ideas from Rust and Blackwing's Chess Game of the Gods world in that outside of Equestria sucks, the gods who like to mess around with mortals and a few of the weapons used but it is a different universe. Picture isn't mine but it matches pretty well what is in my head. This is my first fanfic and I know my grammer probably isn't the best but I'm not a professional writer so be gentle. Will add characters as they appear.

When one life was ended
Another will begin
With a body now mended
The shadows dwell within

Before he was weak and unable to act
In this new world he can change that fact
But these dark powers are not easy to control
In order to do so he needs a pure heart and soul

They see kindness as tricks
And his honesty as lies
A hatred they affix
His form they despise

Only one can understand
And assist with his plight
With experience firsthand
She will aid this creature of the night

When a woman is broken, usually that is the end of her. It would have been for me, but I have been given another chance. My broken body has been reformed into something new, something with purpose and drive. I now live to bring peace. I speak for it, I ask for it, I fight for it, and, if need be, I will die for it. This world has seen war for far too long. This beautiful world of color and light will know peace once more before I lay down to rest and rejoin my loved ones. My name is Michiko of the Takeshi family, and I am descended from the Emperors of Japan. I will not stop until my divine mission is complete.

Jade isn't like all the other fillies and colts in Ms. Cherilee's class. She is a dragon, and because of this she was looked on by ponies with uncomfortable difference and caution. Ever since she had hit her latest growth spurt, she felt isolated and hurt, especially when her classmates began to "look up" at her and quiver in fear. All of this caused her to always return home at the crystal castle as soon as possible, sad and depressed.

At the castle however, Jade's spirits are always lifted when her big brother Spike comes around. Not only is he a dragon as well, he is someone she can surely count on whenever she feels down. There’s no one better than the one that has been by her side.

"Even though they aren’t born of the same blood... they are still family nonetheless." -- Princess Celestia

Written for the truth and reality... because the bond between brother and sister is deeper and stronger than we can ever believe it to be. “How could we not talk about family when family’s all that we got?”

I do not own Hasbro's My Little Pony and DreamWorks' How To Train Your Dragon

Designation ManeFrame, an experimental construct created by the Equalists, has only one purpose – to crush the remaining resistance that struggles against the mighty Empire. However, when the construct gains conscience in a bloody, unmerciful battle, it is thrust into one last, titanic struggle that would decide the fate of Equestria.

Information is scarce to come by, and every clue reveals three more questions. What happened to the Princesses of the Old? How did the Equalists seize power? And just why does the name Twilight Sparkle sound so familiar?

Featured 28/01/2017. Thank you so much, everyone!

Massive thanks go out to my editors and proofreaders: Garzeel_, Flicka Ravenhide and Destella Morningdew.

Character tags maybe updated in the future. The cover art is edited from the original artwork by zolombo, which you find here. If you don't like the story, please tell me why in the comments description. It would be greatly appreciated!

It has been so long, so very, very long, since last she walked among us. I miss her smell, her voice, her grace...

The longest night in a millennium has come and gone, something done only by the power of one possible pony...

I think my mistress has returned, at long last...

Sup, the name's Mark. Or was Mark, anyway that's not to important anymore. Just know that while I lived on Earth, I was constantly under pressure to follow the rules and fit a mold that didn't fit well with me. My life was constantly controlled by a system I despised.

Well since getting sucker punched into Equestria by a goddess those days are over. Being the one and only Winged Wolf in the known world is a huge help to being able to make my own rules. I'm finally free to do what I want, when I want, and how I want and that's exactly what I'm planning on doing.

Set in the same universe as The Ballad of Echo the Diamond Dog and Griffin the Griffin.

-------------------------

I did get permission from both Rust and BlackWing to use the same setting as their characters. Go read both of their stories. They're awesome. Reading them is what made me want to write this story in the first place, so if you liked this, you'll fall in love with those stories.

Added the Dark tag just in case. There will be a decent amount of violence later on. Will add character tags as they become important to the story.
