What does a hero truly need?

This is a question constantly being asked by the mighty heroes of DOTA. They can move as quick as the wind, shudder mountains with the flick of a wrist, and bend the very essence of nature itself to their will. Yet they still ponder what it is they need. Is it the divine rapier? a weapon so omnipotent that it possesses more then one wielder. Or maybe it is the Aghanim's scepter which grants the heroes knowledge and skill beyond mortal comprehension. Maybe what they are looking for is more metaphorical in nature rather then a weapon? perhaps they were never meant to know at all.

But they can try to at least. Especially when some of the heroes are pulled from their own world and thrusted into Equestria. What will they find in this mysterious and unknown world? and more importantly, how will the inhabitants react to them when they find out they are more violent then they look?

>Well this is my first attempt at writing a fic ever in the history of my life so please bear with any spelling and grammar errors i may have overlooked my writing is a little shoddy at times. Constructive criticism is always a nice thing to look over so feel free to critique my writing or pick up any errors i have written in regards to mlp and dota 2 lore.

There is a flood on the horizon. Equestria's enemies have united, and the coming tide will not only change the course of history on one world, but two, and bring about a monumental meeting that will bring brothers and sisters from those two worlds together.

At long last, the downtrodden will rise.

The battle begins.

Post Haste and Rainbow Dash have been with each other for three months and life has been great. Then, every coltfriend's worst nightmare happens. No, not an angry ex, how is that even possible?

The sequel to "New World, New Beginning." I suggest reading that first. Up to you, just saying...

Luna comes across a blind opera singer, a stallion so handsome that sings music for the night. She instantly falls in love with him and wishes to learn to sing as he does. But when his fame rises because of a princess' patronage, Rarity moves in with romantic intention. The only problem is, neither the stallion nor Rarity know Luna's true identity, Princess of Equestria. When you step between a goddess and the object of her obsession, bad things are bound to happen. (Songfic based off of Phantom of the Opera)

Will was an ordinary soldier of the Space Army with an extraordinary secret. He believes that he'd just kill some monsters and get off the planet he and his company were sent to. But it all changes when he chances upon two helpless Pegasus ponies being attacked by a manticore. He suddenly gets drawn into a grand tour of Equestria, the country of ponies, meeting new ponies... and saying goodbye to a few as well. And what happens when he falls for a Pegasus with a yellow coat and pink mane? Conflicting thoughts, emotions, and actions assail Will as he tries to do what he thinks is right... and what this new Pegasus in his life would like.

One thousand years is a long time to wait. On the moon, it feels longer, but when hiding from the wary human populace on “the moon,” it's harder still as Luna tries to find a way home and ask for forgiveness. One day the Princess of the Night finds a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and finds that her imprisonment could be improved for just a little while.

This is a story for the two weeks before the summer solstice, a time of questions, answers, and Royal Canterlot Voice. An interview with Princess Luna's an important thing for this individual. I'd like some questions from the readers. If you want to share a question please leave it in a comment or private message me so I can write it in.

There comes a point when you can no longer run from the things you've done. Ryan Williams believes that he has reached this point, but sometimes, just as we are about to close one door, another opens before us, changing our lives in ways we could never have imagined.

Go give it (and his channel) some love :D

A strange unicorn has entered Ponyville. He seems simple enough, but anyone who talks to him for more than a passing moment realizes that all is not as it seems. What his purpose there is, not even he fully knows.

My first step into the writing arena, the obvious first hurdle I seemed to stumble over was that of the Gary Stu. I considered rewriting it to be otherwise now that I've had some experience, but it wouldn't be worth it with how short it's going to be. So enjoy if you will, and you've been forewarned.

Souls are immortal, what you do with them throughout incarnations determines their strength. A man becomes a god, destined to save humanity, only to fail, its own corruption and greed ending all life on the planet. Sealing himself away, will he ever find peace and happiness in the new world he awakens to?

When one of Fluttershy's dear animal companions wanders into the Everfree, she sets out to bring him home safely - but what she finds at the center of the forest is something she didn't expect, and something that ushers in a change to her world that makes each day darker than the last.
