Max is leader of the Shining Force and the Hero who defeated Dark Dragon. A great evil threatens the land of Equestria. A new hero comes to help but first he is going to need to figure out how to fit in. Oh and how do use a sword with hooves.

A note about tags etc. This tale will come in acts. The first act in particular will be slice of life for character development. The later acts will have more action and adventure. So please do be patient as the action will mostly come later and the romance probably even later. This story is set after season one with the events of season two occurring differently. This is my first piece of fan-fiction. I would appreciate any constructive comments that are given. I do ask that you remain civil.

If you down-vote please explain why as I am trying to improve this story and my writing.

Legal: I do not own MLP:FIM, Hasbro does, nor do I own Shining Force that belongs to Sega.

The cover art is temporary until I can get something more specific commissioned
