Greetings. The following tale is one I began telling in college and have continued working on long thereafter. This is not a story for the faint of heart; this is not a tale of colorful ponies making cupcakes. In this work I examine the deep history of Equestria and weave a story rich with lore and challenging new theories...

Join us as the younger Ren, a student from before the fall of the First Kingdom and the rise of the Solar Empire, finds himself lost and alone a strange land of monsters, mystery, and magic with only his horn and an unlikely ally to protect him from the darkness ahead.
