An irreverent satire of one human, one backyard, & one pony.
The question that has long been pondered by the greatest minds, will now be answered...
Wat Do?

Tau Niem is an alien - a Danarian to be specific, an extraterrestrial progenitor of the Human race. Once an honored diplomat for the Third Interstellar Federation of Danarian Clans, he was 'dismissed' from service. Without any attachment to his former life, he took to hopping through time with the aid of a prototype time-machine that may, or may not, exactly be legal...or even ethical. Somehow, he fell asleep one night in his past - our present - and awoke somewhere else...somewhere with a lot of ponies.

AN: The Names of Chapters are the written in Danarian (as best as they can be, using the Latin-alphabet). First the number of the chapter, then the title, followed by its meaning in English.
AN II: Tau Niem, Danarians, et cetera are property of myself. MLP and all characters thereof, are property of Hasbro.

This is a non-profit work, made under the fair-use doctrine.

My name is Jack, at least it is now. I wasn't always earthbound, wouldn't you know? No, I suppose you don't. There are a great many things you simply do not know. Times with which my 'fair sister' does not speak... So, do forgive me if I shatter the porcelain image of your beloved Princess, but her lies have stood as history a bit too long for my tastes. After more than a thousand years of ruling Equestria without opposition, it's time you heard the truth. This is the tale of Discord's arrival and the fall of Everfree, both literally and figuratively.

AN: This is the first story in The Alicorn Chronicles, a series that is built on the concept of an alternate history of Equestria; one that rarely directly conflicts with canon, but rather is built around and atop it. It offers a different version of events to expand upon the unknown and unspoken periods of Equestrian history, and is an alternate history based around the concept that Celestia has manipulated of history - mostly through omission - for her own benefit.
