Mercenary

by CroakyEngine
When a combination of knowledge, curiosity and luck led to a new technology able to exploit the temporal threads of the pony mind, a dark secret from before the warming is discovered, one that would tear apart Equestria; starting with its history.

As the Pre-Equestrian Era approaches its end, a new society surfaces. Corruption scorches the land and the encroaching Gryphon army seeks to lay waste to the three pony tribes. However, a much dangerous threat is dwelling within, a threat that could destroy everything that ever existed and will exist.

Two millenniums into the future, Equestria is entering a new, prosperous age. When the researchers of the Canterlot research branch initiates a project that will allow ponies to peer into history, a secret sealed since before the warming is unveiled. An experiment with recreating tangible virtue history stuffs up, possibly changing the very history of Equestria… for better or worse. Was it something that was always meant to happen, or is something more sinister at works here?

Through coincidences, accidents and fate, heroes and villains both past and present rise and fall to create the foundation of the Equestria that we know today.



The gore tag is just to be safe. Nothing excessive or particularly disturbing will be included. This story has its own arc and is not another ponified version of Assassin's Creed thought it borrows a few ideas from the franchise.

Enjoy!
