This story is a sequel to Paranoia

Talisman.

His entire name and appearance screams anonymity, nondescript and boring. But this unicorn stallion is far from normal. His arrival one cloud ridden morning in Ponyville sees him practically living within the confines of the great library and, inevitably, in the company of Ponyville's leading scholar and element of Magic, Twilight Sparkle.

So... What in the hay is up with this stallion? And what's the story behind the stone around his neck?

Sequel to 'Paranoia'

Undisclosed location in the Highlands, Scotland. May 16, 2022.

The Bronies have been preparing for this day for years. The day that their plans, our plans, could finally come to fruition. After a devastating campaign against the Brony community since the Anonymous hacking organization forced many false titles upon the Bronies, all but a few thousand have been shot, arrested, executed, and treated as though they were but rats.

As though they were but vermin.

An abandoned bunker for military purposes has been commandeered by the surviving Bronies for the sole purpose of a place to live, regrow, and, most importantly, develop the technology to move on. To a better place, to Equestria.

Unoriginal, yes. Probably going to get hate, yes. Do I give a toss?
...
...maybe.

They came from the skies, in a never ending torrent.
Humans.
Heartless, merciless, cold blooded, monsters.

Or so Shining had thought, until he had the chance to actually meet one such monster.

A long time ago, there were four friends. Two were ponies from Equestria, but one was an angel from Elysium, and the other was a demon of Tartarus. None of that mattered to them though, as they grew up, they tried to ignore their destinies, hoping that their friendship would prevail over fate. Oh how wrong they were.

Rarity now finds herself alone, trapped inside Elysium, given more questions at every checkpoint and forced to see memories of a past she shouldn't have any connection to. Why is she here? What do the angels mean mean that "her life isn't hers"?

And who is Vale?

This is a vital part of the Inner Demons series. Recommend reading Inner Demons first.

Equestria's Darkest Hour was only the beginning... The end of days are fast approaching...

Twilight faced her darkness and made peace with it. Now she can face who she is, and not a moment too soon. The greatest battle in Equestrian history is about to begin, and she'll need to understand just how deep the darkness in her heart goes in order to face the threats to come. However, in preparation for the worst event in Equestrian history, she'll have to protect a mare that may be the key to everyone's destruction. Even worse, she has to deal with an old enemy/former friend that's intent on saving the world her way, which means killing the life that Twilight wishes to protect. But can a demon truly do an angel's job, or is Twilight simply deluding herself?

"Can I atone for my sins...?"

For years Diamond Tiara has been contending with dark feelings, night terrors, and blackouts she can't explain. When Apple Bloom, the love of her life, was here, she could handle it. Now that Apple Bloom is gone though, Diamond Tiara's sanity is slipping, and she's becoming something horrible. Good news, she's beginning to understand what she is now. Bad news, she hates it, because the more she learns, the less likely it seems she can be saved.

"Wh-what am I?! Apple Bloom, help me!"

She is the Guardian of Equestria, sworn to defend the golden land of Terra from any and all threats. Vale's life was saved by a Unicorn who's heart was more pure than even her own, but now she has to carry on her life and continue her own mission. That should be simple, except for three things standing in her way. Midnight has once again chosen to stand against her, the lover of the one who saved her won't leave her alone, and strange foreign emotions plague her, hindering her mission. All she knows is that something in her heart is saying this isn't right.

"What's holding me back...?"

These three, and others surrounding them, will play an integral part in the events over the next month. As for what their places on the board are, unfortunately that's not entirely up to them.

Inner Demons II added to the TV Tropes page?! WHAT?! Go here to read it!

Twelve thousand years ago, humanity was driven into a war with an unknown enemy. Fire rained from the heavens and the sky turned dark as the sun dimmed. Acid poured from the clouds and a plague was unleashed upon mankind: A virus that caused men to turn on one another. A disease that forced man to fall to his knees and beg for mercy. A pathogen that ravaged man’s civilization.

And when humanity lost all chances of reconciliation, all hope of keeping their loved ones safe, they pulled the plug, three hundred souls left Earth while sacrificing their only home to the angel of the enemy.

In the twelve millennia since the Great War, all traces of humanity have been wiped from the surface of the Earth. In man’s rightful place now are a multitude of sapient species. For twelve thousand years, these animals have lived in peace and harmony, man reduced to nothing more than but a myth, a folk tale, a legend.

But word has spread across the countryside. Word of forgotten beasts that still walk the western wastelands. Creatures able to bend the world to their will without the help of magic. Creatures said to be older than time itself.

Teen for language, and dark moments. Character tags will be added as the story progresses

Discord has made more mistakes in the past two years than he did in the five million years of his existence.

Mistake 1. He summons the most dangerous creature in the multiverse - me. Apparently.

Mistake 2. He made a deal with me, to be his 'agent of chaos' in return of power, and a way to get home.

Mistake 3. He trained me to be the ultimate killer.

And Mistake 3 will be the last mistake he will ever make.

This is the story of a man in Equestria. This is the story of a killer, just trying to be normal. This is the story of a commoner turned omnipotent tyrant. This is the story of me.

The cycle of destruction is broken and the galaxy is safe. But its hero, its savior, will never return. Although they won't forget him, they have also seen him for the last time. It's not easy being a hero because just when they think they can be at peace, they are called to action again. The hero thinks that he can rest, that his death is upon him, but death will not come so easily to those who are needed. As fate would have it, he is needed again, in a world that could not be more unlike his own. He is, or perhaps will be, needed in the world of Equestria.

You are an ancient god who dates back to the times before history was recorded. Along with your other brothers and sisters, you lived in a time of paradise and happiness. You lived in harmony and ruled over the mortals without a care in the world. Until war broke out. A war that would last for centuries and caused the near extinction of all life in Equestria. During a last ditch effort to defeat your enemy you receive a grievous wound to your already tired and withered out body, which caused your body to turn to stone. Where your body would repair itself and recover your lost energy. However it's been centuries since the war, the world and people you had once known and loved has faded into history along with your existence, but the world has gone too long without you and it's about time you return.
