Everyone knows that the bad guy is always cooler than the good guy. In fact, most would agree that, should a bad guy suddenly take up the roll of hero, they would surpass that of their old arch enemy in both deed and glory achieved.

Though, of course, every rule has it's exception. Especially should someone merely get the powers without years of experience wielding them, or even knowing what their full extent even is.

His last memory before being pulled from the physical world were those magnificent green eyes. Caught off guard, Snape had been killed by Voldemort and found by Harry; as he let the boy take his tears, he lost himself in the eyes, the emerald orbs that were exactly like Lily's.

The next thing he knew, he had a new task before him. The afterlife, whatever it held, was denying him, and the only thing he could possibly do about it was help bring another world to balance. Whether his deeds at Hogwarts weren't good enough or if he was simply too good to let go yet, he did not know, nor did he care. His entire world was taken from him and he was thrust into a whole new one.

Severus Snape has come to Equestria, and his actions will bring great peace or great pain to the land, that is the only thing he is sure of.

*I'm not the biggest Harry Potter fan by any means, but Snape was definitely the best thing from the entire mythos in my opinion, and I had to write with him a bit. Hopefully my knowledge of the HP universe will suffice.

This is the Theme Song

[Displaced] How long as it been? How long has it been since I was frozen in time, since I arrived here? I don't know. But I do know, that this place needs my help, and as a Crusader. I will do my duty. My name was lost, but my title... Is Reinhardt. And with my ruined armor, and my deteriorating hammer, I will protect the innocent. I will save this place. I am... The Crusader, of Equestria.

I do not own the images, nor Reinhardt, or the song, nor MLP.

Twilight may have had a bit too much to drink one night and accidentally brought a human named Arc from Earth to Equestria. They have much to teach one another. That is... if they will accept him into their society. Time will tell if humans and ponies can truly live together in harmony.

BE SURE TO START WITH "VOLUME 1 - CHAPTER 1"!

This is quite a long story I originally wrote for my wife as a Christmas present two years ago. Work on it has continued over the past year, and just recently hit 1,000,000 2,000,000 3,000,000 words. I'll upload it chapter by chapter as fast as I can translate them. The Equestrian Odyssey contains many characters from the show and comics, as well as a number of original characters I dreamed up to fill various roles. I hope you enjoy the first volume of my first ever story as much as my wife and I did.

One of my readers liked the story so much that they decided to write their own alternate version of events. Their story can be found here...
