This story is being rewritten. Here is a link to the new version.

Emerald Shield lived in Manehattan for far too long. Nothing worked out right for him. He was an adult, cutie markless, friendless, and most recently...fatherless. Hoping to escape the torment of the city and lose his newly made adversary, he randomly chooses a town on the map to start a new life. With nothing to lose, he makes the choice that will alter his life forever...

Currently undergoing revisions. If you find any inconsistencies, I'm aware of them and are trying to fix them.

If you choose to thumbs down, please, respectfully provide a reason. I can't improve as an author without reader support. Thank you for understanding.
