With a single act, sixteen years of war comes to a violent end. Two armies lie defeated and their respective nations withdraw what’s left of their forces.

Black Thunder, once Captain of the Imperial Legions, is tired of fighting for a cause fueled by the greed of the Imperial Senate, and resigns out of spite and disgust. With nothing left but an old sword and the cloak on his back he drifts from job to job across the Old World, facing the consequences the war left on the land… and on him.

Set before Season 1, and the Prequel to Locked Motions. First story of The Blacksmith Saga

Normal life comes to a sudden halt when the whole of Equestria vanishes and is suddenly transported into the middle of a terrifying new world. An invasion made up of the many horrors residing out in the desert bares down on them from the horizon, with a loathing the likes of which the peaceful ponies of Equestria have never felt.

The dead world seems to have it in for them; Hollows rampage through every town and every city. The ghastly cold begins to freeze flora and farms. A terrible feeling emanates from below Canterlot. And there isn’t a single Soul Reaper in sight...

Welcome to a world where night time lasts forever.

Welcome to Hueco Mundo.
