My name is Spirit Bolt.

I'm not special. I'm not unique. I'm not even sure why you're here...

But, here you are. What do ya wanna know my story for anyway? Off-hoof, I can think of at least half a dozen ponies who are way more interesting then me...

What? No, I wasn't gonna say 'The Bearers'... geez, how cheap do you think I am?

On seconds thought, don't answer that... sorry, where was I? Oh, right. My story....

You ever hear the expression: 'everypony has a sob story'?

Well, this is mine.

A/N: Cover Art for this fiction can be found HERE, drawn by my good friend Gutovi-kun. Who you should also check out, just cause.

Everything in Ponyville is fine, in fact, it better then fine. It's great! Everypony is going about their daily lives without a care in the world.

Until a certain Griffon shows up unexpectedly, seeking forgiveness...

Can a yellow Pegasus find it in her heart to forgive her past transgressions?
Can an old friendship be mended?
Will Ponyville accept it's newest inhabitant?

Only time will tell. Because everybody deserves a second chance, don't they?

A/N A remake of the first fanfic I ever wrote, which I didn't upload here for obvious reasons. Mainly because it's really terrible. However, I feel like I've learned enough since then to do it justice.

I didn't sign up for this. I never wanted to kill anybody, I just wanted to serve the Empire. Is that so wrong? Why did this have to happen to me? I don't... I ... I never wanted this!

But I guess that's the price I pay.
