Dark Saber is the former guardian of the Princesses, exiled after the Nightmare Moon incident. He now lives as the humble firework maker Winter Shield in Ponyville. Around about 1000 years after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, Princess Celestia's personal student comes to Ponyville to organize the Summer Sun Celebration; how will Winter react to this? Will he be drawn into the adventures of the Elements of Harmony? (the answer to that is yes) And what will he contribute to the story of Equestria? Read and find out.
(Rated Teen to be safe)

Equestria is still picking up the pieces after the defeat of Tirek, and everypony is helping out with the paperwork, even Rainbow Dash. Things change when Princess Celestia arrives, bringing with her a letter with some very stunning accusations of the exploits of a resident in the town of Oasis. Now, the main six are tasked with finding out if the letter was truth or fiction. Did this Mister Baker really do what they claim? Only one way to find out.

However, Mister Baker is not who, or what they expected.

Hello, my name is Ori. I used to have a different name (and species) but since I was pretty much reborn as Ori, I figured that would be my name too. Anyways, my story starts at a con I attended dressed as Ori from Ori and the Blind Forest (because he's frikkin awesome and cute as heck). I bought something from the Merchant and the rest you know.

A\N I've recently learned how to upload images for my avatar so I thought I'd apply it to cover art. And here it is. I don't know who made this or how, but credit goes to them.

Every year, I write to the princess. I think she's amazing. I want to be just like her.

I wonder if she'll ever reply.
