Balanced Dawn an 'average' colt from Sires Hollow, one that wasn’t ever supposed to exist. At least according to his new memories.

"Tbilisi"
I dunno what this word is. I feel like it's a made up word to describe someone or somepony. If it was addressed earlier then I have forgotten.
That Storm King is going to be in for a rude awakening when word gets out that Dawn exists. Oh I look forward to that inevitable confrontation, in addition to more of this story.

Not to mention his “Aides” the twins.
Sounds like Tempest was unfortunate to not be told about horn prosthetics before she left pony lands. That or was overly stubborn in wanting a real horn instead of a “fake” metal replacement.
Glad Scootaloo is settling in to the family though I’m surprised the orphanage didn’t know about wing grooming. Were there no other Pegasus foals? What of unicorn foals? Do they need something for horn care that they might be missing out on?
This will be some adventure for Dawn. Lost in the middle of nowhere, trying to find your way home, maybe topple an empire on the way.
It would be interesting if horn prosthetics would work, but in the storm lands they just don't have the right materials or construction aptitude to make it work correctly. 🤔
Dawn's family is gonna go berserk when they hear the news that he's been kidnapped again
He'll have a platoon of guards tapped to his back from now on
11891624
Ok wow idk how that even happened.
11891625
He already did.
11891627
Tempest was a foal when she ran off so does not know about prosthetic ones and it’s rare info outside of Equestria since only unicorns would need them.

Happiness eh... No, harmony has a similar meaning to balance but they are not the same (although even in their faults they seem similar, but not all) and if to preserve harmony you have to sacrifice things, among them happiness, you can say that some could reach those extremes...
But as you say, the results can become really bad unexpected scenarios because along the way you get lost in your goal
6 chapters in a 24 hour period? You're spoiling us. I'm still ready to see that conversation that will eventually happen between Dawn and Celestia about how much he really knows.
Admit it. You forgot Unfettered existed, didn't you
11891726
No, she really did need some time away. I found it a bit awkward that she just accepted living with the family of her former captors without Dawn around, since he was the one who had saved her and all. I thought about having her serve him in Canterlot but that didn’t feel right either.
11891726
I admit it, when I read his appearance, I didn’t really realize who he was...
11891645
Is dawn gonna learn anymore spells from luna/nightmare?
I'm really hoping that Tempest shadow and Dawn get together. Not all who Wonder are lost ( JRR Tolkien )
then... a party and immediately after a kidnapping... now who would want to get rid of Dawn? the nobles? or the griffins? or even an unexpected enemy who’s probably a Pony
I already said that there was a little filling before starting with interesting things, not that the filling is not interesting, but this is more
11891657
Im going for the ‘Blueblood is actually a good guy but acts like a troll to be underestimated by his fellow nobles’ trope. He is away from Canterlot training, similar to what Cadence and Shining did.
11891731
I don’t plan on it till she gets back. It took a lot of her energy just to help him the first time around. Not that she would admit that.
Oh boy. Dawn is going to take out the storm king isn't he? That is one heck of a derail
great chapters so far
11891728
Her being Dawns gaurd might be a good idea. Combination of wanting to be able to prevent what happened to her from happening to others and wanting to repay her savior.
Also calling it now, changelings abduct him next year.
11891748
I think your jumping the gun a bit. We have NO idea where he even is.
11891736
Neat.

It was described as in a desert, in lawless lands is implied. The mlp movie has a town in a desert, in lawless lands. Said town also has slavery. Matches up pretty well imo.
11891781
I think they meant where Dawn is but, no Storm king will be after NMM. I just like including the villains that aren’t trapped and showing how the timeline is getting altered.

So ponies have no problem with casual sex which is the actual problem in a more modern society that wants to get work done and has so many different small herds living close together. The charm is more so that a mare can hide involuntarily ‘winking’ and stallions can hide accidental boners around those they aren’t actually wanting to invite for sex. Can’t do much about wing boners, a flagged tail, or other indicators but at least herds won’t just assume you’re trying to poach a stallion if using the charm.
I've never really liked the "it's actually quite simple" approach to Fizzlepop's horn. I'm all for something like a prosthetic cap that prevents unintended magic bursts, but being able to "fix" it to a state that is on par with regrowing a horn doesn't sit right with me.
I know it wasn't directly stated that a prosthetic would give Fizzy ALL of her magic mojo back, but the way the discussion was written seems to imply that there weren't any limitations to the practice that were worth talking about.
That said, I DO like the "taking advantage of a naive youth" approach you have where a fake solution can be used as leverage by eliminating any info on alternative remedies. But the problem is if a replacement horn is both easy and treated like common knowledge then how the heck would the storm king actually be able to maintain the lie? There is absolutely no reason for her to NOT ask others for a solution behind his back considering that is the only thing she willingly serves the yeti warlord for and has every reason to do her own research on the topic if getting that forehead spike fixed is all she cares about.
Ultimately I think that anything that could allow a unicorn to use magic properly again would need to be on par with giving a pegasus their wings back if they had been removed. If it's easy, then the process of losing them in the first place holds far less weight. I think it makes for better character growth to accept some broken things can't be completely fixed and need to be acknowledged as such rather than providing a "undo handicap" option.
11891971
Ah yeah it won’t be a perfect prosthetic if that’s the way she goes. The twins were just rich and out of touch. The replacement horn only allows for levitation, light, and a few minor spells at most lest it burn out.
So Dawn is about to meet the Thestrals I believe, as a thestral. Fun.
By the time the Storm King shows up there will be even more royalty to deal with!
I'll be surprised if those two idiots after saying that DON'T tell Fizzie about a possible solution, and then the 3 of them get the staff and attempt to do a coup.
11892017
Ah that makes sense, I had assumed the twins knew a bit more than that since they have decent experience with magic, but that checks out. I honestly wonder what they think "enough bits" would amount to, considering how used they would be to wealth. Now if Lil' berrytwist overheard them only to find out they were talking out of their plots, then I imagine it won't end pretty.
Though maybe it won't even come to that. It seems Dawn has a tendency to meet troubled ponies before they have time to take center-stage. At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if he manages to give a certain filly with a rook cutie-mark the Equestrian version of a snickers bar before she decides that peace was never an option.
11891971
Didn't rainbow loose a eing in the alternate timeline but be able to fight just fine?
11892106
Yeah it’s more about how the magic is channeled. Honestly Tempest could hoof cast like Dawn can without needing a horn but ponies really do take natural magical abilities for granted without really training them.
11892111
Hmmm maybe Dawn could teach her?
Also why do I ship? They haven't even met yet.
11892157
Well no he didn’t mention that it was the tree of Harmony or the castle of the two sisters, that’s the information he felt was being to hide for now.
Hmmmm. I'll give it a nice. Cause good world building
So Dawn is currently wandering as a thestral... He's about to stumble upon the Thestral village isn't he?
