Dusk Shine has dealt with many trails throughout his life. From clashing with Nightterror Nebula to outwitting the mischievous Eris to thwarting King Nymphamos’s invasion, he'd seen it all.

All in all, Dusk Shine would admit that life was hardly easy. And now, Dusk finds that his mentor's self loathing is the least of his problems as he finds himself thrust into a world where he and his friend... are mares?

A new colt moves to Ponyville and Scootaloo begins acting strangely, forcing Sweetie Belle to choose between her friends and her conscience. Meanwhile, the colt's fathers, looking for a new beginning, discover just how far making assumptions will get them.

"I was so scared. So, on that day, I decided. I'll refuse to have friends. I'll refuse to fall in love. I'll spend my days alone, as a monster as myself should. I AM a monster. ...Right?"

Salus: Latin for "Salvation"

Salvation: "Deliverance from sin and its consequences.", "A preservation or deliverance from harm, ruin, or loss."

Black Shield, or "Blackie" as he is casually called, is a pony fallen from grace. He was once a stallion with everything, from a loving family to a position as Captain of the Sutansia Royal Guard. He was truly blessed. But after a series of terrible events, everything that made his life worth living is ripped away from him, leaving him empty.

Now with no home, no family, and no reason to live, he wanders aimlessly from Sutansia to the nearby land of Equestria. He eventually finds himself in Ponyville where he plans to start a new life.

Unfortunately, when his old life threatens to once again take away everything he holds dear, he must stand up against it. He must find redemption.

Rainbow Dash gets an invitation to try out for the Wonderbolts, so it's only fitting that Applejack would agree to watch her practice in preparation for the big day.

But when things don't go according to plan, Applejack realizes that she must take initiative and comfort her downtrodden friend.

So then, what would happen if a human baby ended up and was raised in Equestria?

Will they be a normal everyday worker? Will they be a Celestia Knight? Will they take over the world? Will they speed up Equestrias technology level with good old human ingenuity?

Honestly I have no idea!

So that's why I need YOUR help! You, the readers will decide their personality, their dreams, their... everything really. So lets get started!

There was only one explanation. For all of it. All of the strange, erratic behavior. Her irrational fear of the sun. Her nocturnal habits of locking herself in in the dark and closing all the blinds. Wearing her sunglasses everywhere, even inside! It was time to invest in some silver, garlic, and a wooden stake.

Fluttershy has tea with Jesus and absolutely nothing objectionable happens.

Have you ever had a dream that just seemed so real, that it was impossible to say for certain that it was even a dream at all? A dream that, despite all of its impossibilities, seemed to re-write your entire perception of reality, re-writing your sense of what—and indeed, who—you are? Accepting change is hard enough as it is. But when you're a somebody who wakes up as a somepony, how do you cope with the impact such a drastic change has on your mind and body? With changes like these, it must surely just be a lucid dream—albeit a suspiciously accurate one—just brimming with potential and ripe for exploration. So you might as well suck it up and make the most of these distressingly…unusual circumstances, and seize this psychological adventure before you wake up and the dream ends.
After all, this couldn't possibly be real, so the dream must come to an end eventually…right?
