Equestria is a land of magic and harmony, a peaceful realm ruled by immortal and benevolent monarchs. At what cost is this possible?

Chapters 1-16 edited by KiltedKey

Twilight Sparkle has become the new princess of Equestria . . . but she might be the last as well. An old enemy of the nation demanded control over the sun and moon more than a thousand years ago, but Celestia refused. War broke out and Equestria almost lost. Now that Twilight is the ruler, they will either gain control . . . or a second war will be born. As the Elements of Harmony defend their home however, there is more behind their demands than they thought.

Dark Flame is a young unicorn stallion who works as the local blacksmith and has protected his home village of Stonewall from constant dragon raids, earning him the title, Dragon Slayer. But when a dragon thought to be a myth attacks, Dark is left the lone survivor and loses consciousness during the fight against the mythical dragon. When he awakens, he finds himself in a hospital with a part of his memory missing, a few bodily changes, and six mares who have questions for him.

Now trying to rebuild his life, Dark will learn about his new body, try to regain his lost memories, and attempt to live a new life of peace apart from his old life of near constant fighting and survival. Though if only it were that easy. New friends will be made, secrets revealed, enemies both new, old, and supposedly dead will rise, a love will blossom, and a ghost from Dark's past will threaten to destroy what little left he holds dear to him.

This is my first fic, and any constructive criticism or advice would be appreciated in helping improve my writing, and in turn, the story itself.

After rescuing an incapacitated Twilight Sparkle from the dark clutches of fearsome demons, three warriors of Princess Celestia become close friends with the six Elements of Harmony. During their newfound friendship, they uncover dangerous and fateful secrets about everything they once knew about the Elements of Harmony.

However, that is only the beginning of a rather large adventure to decide the fate of the world. For the king of Tartarus, with his howling demons at the ready, will seek out the destruction of the entire world, and claim it for himself. And only one thing will stand in his way: the Elements themselves.

From the darkest caves to the highest skies to the deepest depths of the ocean, in storms, battlefields, mountains, and Tartarus itself, the ponies must push themselves towards their inevitable, eternal destinies.
