Icon: Remnants of the North

by Vixavior
When a shade of Celestia's protege is summoned to stop a monster terrorizing Equestria, chance ensnares an unlikely replacement. With time running out, can you stop the beast and uncover the secrets of the Icon?

HiE, 2nd Person, Pseudo-History.
Proofread by TehSporkBandit.

In the harmonious land of Equestria peace and plenty reign supreme; yet something lurks beneath the illusive coils of mirth and good-will. A string of murders are hidden from the public eye, ponies disappear leaving a mysterious message in their wake.

Someone from beyond Equestria is summoned to shed light on the matter, but fickle chance ensnares another. Now, you must learn of the murders, uncover the perpetrator, and extinguish the threat to Equestria. With the help of six friends, you might even manage to survive.

Author Note & Caveat:
You'll probably be seeing a fair bit of these. For now it will suffice to say that this is a four act story; Act 1 is more slice of life than the others mostly as a set up so it will take some time to establish.

I really should basically put the Assassins Creed style caveat here: this story involves history and that comes with some religious aspects and cultural facets attached. None of the story is meant to be defamatory, derogatory, or exemplary; this isn't a platform, it's all for entertainment.
