A Heroic Journey is defined as a basic template for all great stories, and these stories create the hero and the villains.

But what if you are a pony escaping being the hero?

This is a journey not about making a hero or a villain. It is about a boy from another world who gives up everything, even his own species, to be something other then what he was.

It is a journey in which an immature dragon is trying to figure out who he is: the fearsome dragon of his blood and bone, or the pony in a dragon's skin he was reared to be,

It is a journey of an arrogant royal who is sent out into the world to teach him to see something else beyond his own self.

It is a journey of a gatherer looking for a more permanent solution to a dangerous tradition.

it is a journey of a disenchanted flier looking for something beyond stale competition.

it is a journey of all these souls brought together and made heroes whether they want it or not.

*Episodes will be altered, shifted around, or not even mentioned at all. I am manely focusing on the above mentioned and the Mane 6 will have little prominent roles in the narrative.

**Because someone complained, though it would have mattered not anyway, it is not a HP/Spike, they may be paired later one with others, and there might be some casual flirting and sauciness from the characters, but this is primarily a journey fic.
