Aiden Pearce had gotten old.

With so many years under his belt after humble beginnings as a simple contractor and hired gunman, to his time as the vigilante in both Detroit and London- even his part in the murder of Olivier Garneau, it would be a no-brainer that as he was inching closer and closer to his golden years -to unofficially retire to the safehouses he knew in Detroit.

Now with almost no reason, he finds himself in Equestria, struggling to adapt, let alone put the past behind him as it slowly makes its way to surface once again, following set-back after set-back, an older Aiden turned young again still lacks his wisdom, yet not his smarts, as they carve out a new path in Equus.

For better, or for worse.

Equestrian culture loves cutie marks. Filly Starlight Glimmer hates them and never wants one. So, she leaves Equestria.
