*Loosely based on "The Conversion Bureau" universe.*
*Note about the art. Chatoyance was very kind to create some fan art. Just as a little note though "John" has brown hair not bond. Just a little tidbit to keep in mind while reading. Thanks so much again Chatoyance!*

It can be said the multiverse is a series of rivers, each one its own reality, all flowing infinitely close to each other, but never touching. When one river receives a sudden influx of energy and overflows its banks, touching another reality in the process, two species must come to terms with their sudden awareness of the other. And as the deeper ramifications of their meeting become apparent, both species must make a choice as one.

While this is a direct sequel to In Duty's Name, it is not required to read it. It is recommended, as it will help you get to know everypony better :)

This is a re-imagining of The Conversion Bureau universe as originally created by Blaze. All Canon characters are (c) Hasbro and Studio B. All Original Characters are (c) to their respective owners

Romance and drama abound!

A battle-scarred (human) warrior, in his quest to find inner peace finds himself in Equestria. Now, in the most peaceful realm in existence, how will he keep his human weaknesses from tainting these kind ponies.

This is my first story EVER. And in all honesty its probably awful, feel free to leave painfully honest comments.Also im not entirely sure how to do this whole process so if i do anything wrong please help me.Thank you friends!

Robert Parker is a 24 year old ex-web developer living in New York city. In the wake of the conversion movement, he has seemingly lost everything. Haunted by the same nightmare every night, he soon realizes that he must make a choice.

To those unfamiliar with the Conversion Bureau: it is a scenario created by an author named blaze in which Ponies either appear in the human world or have lived beside humans without incident for millennia. One day, in the face of all the damage humanity has done to its world, the ponies offer a solution: undergo conversion to become a pony and allow the world to be inundated with Equestria's influence: thus healing it and bring forth a golden age.

Many different authors have taken many different approaches to this idea, all of them are worth checking out.
