Kasin, a low self-esteem 17 year old teenager has just lost everything again. When things seem bleak, he is brought to Equestria where he'll meet six ponies that revive his will to live.

With the revolutionaries on a rampage, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Kasin must do their best to rise against the foes that threatens the harmony of Equestria and to their friends.

Both Link and Epona race to fight evil once again, however once they make it to the thing that is behind all the monsters that roam Hyrule, they get a big surprise. Once again, Equestria is threatened by evil and Link is once again called to the line of duty. Isn't he?

Equestria has many legends and stories. Sometimes they are told one way, sometimes another. When a legend shared by two races comes back, how will Equestria react to the return of one such legend. One that the Griffon Kingdom speak highly of?

Special thanks to BluegrassBrooke, BookMarkofCanterlot, and Brandedahall for helping me edit and write the story.

Greetings weary traveler/bored reader. Let me regale you with my tale. The tale of a mere mortal, with nothing particularly special to his name, brought to a magical land of dragons, minotaurs, griffins, and of course ponies. But he came as no mere human. He came as the epic warrior, the manliest of swordsmen, that most dashing of multiverse travelers, the mighty Gilgamesh! What adventures will this powerful and magnificent warrior find in his travels? HELL IF I KNOW! LET'S STRAP IN AND SEE WHERE THIS GOES!

May 25, 2014: I GOT FEATURED! HOLY CRAP THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Merlin, a powerful teen-aged sorcerer, has torn the veil between his world and Equestria, strangely, right after Twilight was studying up on mythology on humans- particularly because some were said to possess immense magical power. When she meets Merlin, dressed in robes the same color as her mane, and having a necklace exactly the same as her cutie mark, not only does it start an irreplaceable relationship, but fiery secrets are revealed about Equestria's past.

AUTHORS' NOTE:
All right, I should make one thing clear before anyone starts reading this story, yes this does have some "Harry-potter"-esque themes and elements to it. I'm trying to write a story that while having some 'mystic' or 'fantastical' elements to it, will be focused more on storyline.

Also, I started this story when I just became an MLP fan. I've updated some of the chapters that had mistakes in them.

Ugh.
Alright, do you want some advice?
Don't go evil if you don't want to have heroes trying to kill you repeatedly. I know, sometimes you have to do things that are morally questionable, but at others, just be a good guy. Wait in line rather than summon a horde of undead to tear the throats out of everybody except the barista. Or just freeze everybody in place. That's at least funny in a conventional sense.
I'm (sort of) reformed now.
Unfortunately, there're these six mares and their ruler who are making this VERY DIFFICULT.

EDIT: After four days, the Featured streak has ended. It was a good run.
EDIT: Featured again on 10 May? Aw, stahp it guys. Stahp.

Evil has come to Equestria in many ways. But they never expected a human and a sapient ring holding the soul of Corruption itself.

Inspired by stories like Malideus, F*** it I'm Having Fun, The Rise of Darth Vulcan, and the LoHAV universe in general.

While it is inspired and begins as a LoHAV, it is ultimately just a writing exercise.

Oh night of Storms what hast thou brought?
An outsider so different yet so alike.
Oh lord of Change what hast thou caught?
A Paragon of Storms by thunder’s strike.

A Golden Empire Shining Bright.
The ruler benevolent and kind.
A Republic for those who love the Night.
The leader with a presence of mind.

Oh night of Storms what shall we do?
Don’t give in to hate, don’t give in to fear.
Oh lord of Change would you give us a clue?
A Paragon of Storms is growing near.

Is this a tale about one who fell?
When it comes only time will tell.

(Sonnet of the storm, written by unknown year 264 Celestial rule)

I believed that I knew how the universe worked. That my purpose in life was to enjoy it to the fullest and not look back. Not a bad life if you ask me although it seems the universe had other plans. On one night all that I knew took a drastic turn. Not only did I find myself in completely different world separated from my quiet life I found myself in that world. Armed with my foolish pride, my hidden self, alien knowledge and the art of deception I took my first steps on a journey with no end in sight...

Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.
