At some point, Flash Sentry began to have memories of being a hunter of heroes from another world named Garou. Now with the skills from his past life, he tries to live like a normal teenager.

One morning, Twilight Sparkle wakes up in a strange castle with no idea where she is. She gets strange looks in town, and Fluttershy asks where her wings are. But she's just a unicorn! What in Equestria is going on?

After a long childhood of adventures in Equestria, the human Noah Weiser (known as Clockwork in Equestria) is well on his way to becoming an accomplished political science student. After four years of a hiatus in the land of ponies, Noah's guardian in that land, Luna, reinvites him to see a new generation of magic and harmony. She tells him to bring his five year old cousin Max, too!

Hijinks ensue.

When a portal is opened between worlds, a trickle of new students comes across it. Professor Dumbledore was ready when the trickle became a roar- but nobody could have been ready for what came next, especially not Dumbledore:

Hogwarts... harmonized.

And Discord did it.

Or at least, his daughter did, but close enough.

Yet another rewrite on the old The Gate/OtIoPW/AI chain, now with an amusing abbreviation. Oh, yes, and consideration towards the challenges of having many thousands of students at Hogwarts...

This story will be taking over AI's Tuesday publication slot, when I remember on the appropriate day of the week.

Tags may be updated as the story progresses. Emphasis on may, because I don't think I've ever updated the tags of a story as the story progressed. SoL tag is in the dear hopes that I can actually write enough of it to warrant the tag. Adventure tag is because that's what's more likely to actually get written.

I should probably mention this somewhere. Written with the proofreading and editing assistance of Gerandakis, Asoka, and Rose. I seriously can't be bothered to dig up profiles, especially as I'm not entirely sure that all three of them have FimFiction profiles.

Cancelled for... just being a very, very poorly planned story. It was great while it lasted. Note there's a total of sixteen chapters; if you don't see through chapter sixteen, I'm still publishing it, even after cancellation.

This story is a sequel to The Boy, The Sword, and The Stone

Tantabi

Incarnations of a powerful magic user's potent feelings, born and nourished by their regrets and anguish. Magical manifestations so strong, they gain a mind of their own, influenced by their original's darkest desires and most primal of instincts. Their ultimate goal is to fulfill their user's most heartfelt wish, unhindered by mental constructs like morality. Thankfully, or perhaps unfortunately, they are caged within the user's mind upon creation, and they can begin to influence and even overtake the user over time. Although cases of this happening have been incredibly rare since the magic needed to create one is far beyond the capabilities of normal creatures and ponies, there have been a few recorded cases of it in the distant past.

Ancient texts speak of a chilling theoretical possibility. From the very words of a pony who had been inflicted with one, translated to the best of my ability: "The magic mist had grown too strong. It rent the heavens of my dreams and nearly tore into the waking world. The damage it would have unleashed would have been catastrophic, had I not stopped it."

The scroll I took those words from is old, and unfortunately, the answer to stopping a Tantabus has been weathered by Father Time into illegibility, but all my research on them has given me one undeniable answer: I pray Equestria will never find itself facing even just one of them. The world would not have a hero big enough to save it then.

Additional tags for involved characters: Luna and Celestia.

The last words the Moon said to her Sun, were the most unforgivable words that no one should here.. and The Moon had aid it before she and The Sun had officaly parted way.

In a magic lesson, something goes terribly wrong that puts one of the students in absolute danger and a certain pony isn't happy about it. Silverstream's life might be on the line...

Will she survive it and how will her boyfriend respond to it?

On this blistering day, a Colonel brings his troops southwards to cross a border.

A one chapter experiment to try and get better at show and not tell.

Sunset Shimmer once had a friend that she did everything with even when she was the pupil of Princess Celestia. However, when she ran away, she said hurtful things to her which Sunset regretted ever since. Maybe the human counterpart can help?

There’ll be a sequel in the future.
