“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”
~Ernest Hemingway
This story follows Alex Mathius as his life takes a drastic turn when he ends up in Equestria.
The inhabitants of this strange new world have no idea what he is, and that brings complications!
Accepting his fate, he tries to cope and continue on with his life in a world that's not his own.
However, it soon comes to light that his knowledge and understandings are of great value, involuntarily sending him into a spiral of political schemes and at the centre of an ancient struggle for power.
Can Equestria and the other countries of this new world handle the presence of an ambitious human being? And more importantly; will Alex be able to handle all that's been laid out for him, or do his wounds run too deep?
This is his story, his journey.
Important!
Trigger Warning: [OC's!]
The story goes at a slow pace, so take your time and get some coffee.
Even though there's a big [ADVENTURE] tag on this story, the first bunch of chapters are more drama-like, don't let this discourage you; this is the first story arc.
Hmm, a drama tag wouldn't be out of place on this site.
The [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE] tag is there to prevent the argument of a certain character seeming OOC.
Plus: I've only watched the show until the end of season three, so guess in what time span this story takes place. I also did not watch Equestria Girls, if that's relevant.
Furthermore I wish to mention that this is my very first piece of (fan)fiction I've ever written, so constructive criticism is very welcome indeed.
