Thrust headlong into a strange new world, Solaire of Astora must make amends before he can continue with his mission. Unbeknownst to them all, a shadow from his past approaches.

This story is a sequel to Welcome the Unknown

Nearly a year and a half ago, Discord ripped Matt from Earth to Equestria to use him like a battery while he slumbered in stone, biding his time. When the two finally came together, the mere human managed to outwit the Spirit of Chaos and put an end to his short reign.

Several months have gone by since then, and all things considering, Matt has made a decent life for himself. He has friends, a home, activities to help pay the bills, the usual. But on one particularly average day, something he never imagined he'd ever see again appears and – whether he realizes it or not – threatens to throw everything out of balance. Too bad it's only the first in a series of things to come. What does it mean for Equestria? More importantly, what does it mean for Matt?

Rated Teen for some language and a couple suggestive themes. Reading the first part is recommended, but references to what happened will appear here and there as the story goes so that you should be able to piece things together in case you decide not to check it out. If you do, I hope you enjoy it!
