A Thief On the Rise
When an unforeseen threat is coming to Equestria, a long term enemy decides to prevent its destruction by summoning, and helping, a single man. A man who is able and willing to lie, cheat, steal, and trick his way through his problems.
And the ponies do not like him one bit.
Kestral, a man framed for murder, is used to hiding under the radar, and finding his own solutions.
Never has he thought he'd become the most hated and misunderstood hero in a foreign land of foreign life.
Armed with his personal armory, survival skills, and mysterious new abilities, he sets out to help protect innocent lives from a threat that really should have been seen a mile away.
(Story is set before season 3 start)
Gore for gore. Sex for sexual references/acts, but no solely sexual scenes.There is one rape scene so far, but it is minor.
This guy is the source for my current cover art, his drawings are pretty cool.
