After a tragic series of events that brought him to Equestria, a man is provided a new chance at life unlike anything imagined possible. Adopted by ponies in Dodge Junction, he grows up to develop a deep connection with, and strength from Equestrian magic, such that could rival any threat ever known in history. This inspires both awe and wonder, as well as fear and doubt by ponies around him. Despite wishing to stay at his newfound home of Cherry Hill Ranch, and away from public attention, the man must embrace his call to offer Harmony's magic towards those in great need.

This story is a sequel to Play Date Continued

A third and final submission to the 'Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad' Contest.

Lady General Princess Flurry Heart has learned a lot from her Father and now she is as good of a General as he is. He has taught her everything and now that knowledge will be put to the test when the Griffon Kingdom attacks the Crystal Empire.

Will Flurry Heart save her people as the Princess of Light and Hope or will she Fall into Darkness?

"Mum, Dad," Flurry Heart spoke up, "We should be crystal ponies."

Flurry has learnt about colonialism, and figures the only way to fix this is for the imperial family— or at least her— to be crystal ponies.

... More serious than the description implies.

But her hope is rekindled when she meets Equestria's only resident human who seems to share many of her bizarre proclivities.

Cadance wants Shining Armor to spend more time with their daughter, Flurry Heart. The results aren't what was expected.

Filly in a potentially dangerous situation

As if dying of embarrassment in the middle of a Crystal Empire celebratory dinner wasn’t bad enough, now Shining Armor has to entertain the worst guest imaginable. No, not Lemon Hearts. The one with the inexplicable agricultural tool. No, not Crazy Lace Agate. The one with the ominous powers and the unstoppable determination to – No, not Cadence. Look, Death, all right? It’s Death. Death’s the worst guest imaginable.

And when the spectre at the feast wants you dead and can’t die in turn, not even love and friendship are strong enough to stand in the way of grim destiny.

Not that this will stop them. Love and friendship are funny like that.

An entry in Imposing Sovereigns IV, using the prompt "Princess Cadence and Shining Armor/Harmony".

Somewhere in the Frozen North, a griffon expedition has gone missing. As the only airship specifically designed for the frigid environment, the Aurora Dawn and her crew's first mission out of the shipyards will be to find and rescue this lost expedition.

If only they knew what the expedition was really out there to find...

Inspired by the collective works of H.P. Lovecraft, though familiarity with Lovecraft's works are not necessary to get this.

I experimented quite a bit with narrative in this story, specifically in using different narrative voices depending upon the perspective. I'll leave it up to the readers if I pulled this off effectively.

My thanks to JawJoe for the exceptionally helpful prereading and suggestions on how to make this story all the better.

Now with a Russian translation, courtesy Steel_Ranger!

Two ponies fall in love.

One will be conquered by Sombra and cast out of time.

The other will give everything to seal away the Pony of Shadows in Limbo.

Neither knows the other waits on the far side of a millennium.
