The young Blitzle, Wild Heart, finds himself in a strange land while fleeing for his life. Equestria is unlike anything he's ever seen, but his new friends, one of them a former Pokémon himself, are with him every step of the way.

Danger is just around the corner though, as Wild Heart did not come alone...

Power corrupts yet for two brothers, their rule as kings has done anything but corrupt them. Wanting only to help those in need, the benevolent duo watch over the Crystal Kingdom in an age of light. But darkness still exists and these two brothers now face the threat of corruption they swore never to fall to. This darkness comes not from within themselves but from within one whom they trusted with their lives, their kingdom and the future of all Equestria...

After a scroll regarding a mysterious stranger arrives on Mayor Mare's desk, a new resident moves in to Ponyville. What makes this new stallion in town so mysterious is not so much his manner but his lack of a cutie mark. But perhaps the lack of a message... is a message in itself?

Everypony has a story. Some tell of heroic feats and grand adventure. Others tell of villainy against the forces of Harmony. The story of an average guard, however, is one of obscurity. They live in the background, unnoticed but ever-present.

Silent Knight assumed his tale would be like that of his father's: join the Royal Guard and serve Equestria. He would be just another helmet and spear, part of the rank and file. And that was all he ever wanted.

However, when Captain Shining Armor asked for volunteers to form a House Guard for the recently returned Princess Luna, it was Silent's hooves that stepped forwards to set his new life in motion.
