Monster of the River Ván, Fame-wolf, Bringer of Hlín’s Second Sorrow, Devourer of the Allfather…
These are the names adopted by Fenrir, the giant wolf and son of Loki, the crafty god of mischief and discord. Fenrir was prophesied to one day participate in Ragnarok, the fabled "Twilight of the Gods", a gigantic battle between the Aesir and Vanir gods and the various threats that endangered the Nine Realms. Bound for millennia, Fenrir broke free of his restraints and, after burning the world of Man, took part in the fated conflict. After killing Odin, the King of the Gods, Fenrir himself is slain by the Allfather's son Víðarr, his jaws torn apart and his heart impaled by the silent god's blade. Despite this, he dies content in the knowledge that he ate old One-Eye and that he would not pass from the mortal plane without some company.
Death, however, is not final.
Awakening in an unfamiliar forest, Fenrir discovers that he has been reincarnated, appearing once more as a wolf pup and now living in a strange world filled with...sentient ponies? Soon, he finds himself serving as the pet and companion to Fluttershy, a timid pegasus and member of the elite Elements of Harmony. Between navigating his way through a brand new realm and reclaiming his independence, Fenrir embarks on a journey of redemption and self-discovery as he comes to terms with his dark past and confronts his greatest fear: a bright new future.
