by Mystogan Vokunkiin
A tale of a young man who loses his life in one world, but gains a new one in another along with a great power that was given by the very thing that took his life.

Behind The Mask And Lightning by Afro Chicken Thanks again bud. :)

Taylor Etzel, a young man of 25, lived on his own ever since he was eighteen years of age. He was like any other guy in th world. Though he was a bit different as well. He was legally blind, and no operation was available to cure him of his affliction. Though this did not stop him from liveing the best he could. He found some happiness through his hobbies, playing MMORPGs, watching anime, and even watching My litttle Pony: Friendship is magic. While he wasnt a brony, he did find the show and the culture around it comforting to him.

Taylor was also quiet the ambivert, meaning he was an introverted person who could don the mask of a very extroverted peron should the situation called for it. He wore masks, both mediforicly and physically, as he found it comforting to hide his real self from people due to mistrust from all the hurt and disappointment he had faced in his life. He wore masks physically, as he crafted them in spare time as well, from scarey to unique masks

But one day, a storm came along when he was walking home from work, the rain was brutal, and the thunder and lightning just as merciless. And as if being the way he was wasnt enough, his time suddenly ended, from a strike of blue lightning, effectively jerking him up into the air and burning his body, lightning like scars appeared along his whole entire body, thus killing him nearly instantly as he also vanished as soon as the lightning did

Now, the young man finds himself falling into a black void, falling....falling.....into a new world of unknown things....or so he thought at first. And all the while, he now has a mask on his face, a half mask that he cannot remove from himself, until he finds the means to remove it, but It will not be easy, for it will have to be done by someone or rather....somepony other than himself, and they must be the one who he lets into his heart with affection and trust, And above all, love.

(A romance and tragedy combined with fun and seriousness. I cant let it all be tears of sadness now can I? Also there will be adventures and conflict as well. My mind is brewing with ideas s i write this all down. Its time I put my avid roleplaying skills to work in writting my first ff. And finally, this will be a human romancing ponies fic. As for which pony. We will just have to see....though I am definitly leaning towards Princess Luna. And as a final note, Taylor does know about My Little Pony: Friendship is magic, hence why he will find the ponies very familiar, and this takes places after the events of the final espisode of season four. JUst to give you a timeline.)
