It wasn't supposed to end like this.
A last-ditch effort. One final teleportation; somewhere, anywhere, where the looming darkness pursuing them hadn't yet tainted.
He didn't expect that anywhere to be Equestria.
Well this is awkward lol. I wrote the short description before I wrote the rest of the story and COMPLETELY forgot that I mentioned "teens turned ponies" and then proceeded to... not turn them into ponies. Whoops. The description's been updated to no longer commit the crime of false advertising.
Written in celebration of my 10-year anniversary of joining Horsewords Dot Net The Website. I had no idea I'd be here for this long back then.
This story is the fourth attempt (at least, on this site) of bringing the OG "Wielder of the Orb" into a more refined polished not-craptastic readable state. Complete with a plot overhaul that draws loosely from the original fic here. Given how little there was to go off of in terms of both that story and the original script-formatted garbagefire of an original fiction that the aforementioned fic was a "crossover" of, almost the entirety of the rest of this story past the first two chapters will be brand new territory for me and this ol' story concept.
this may or may not also later become integrated into a little extension of Fractures that I've got planned for the future :3
