Some creatures have intelligence in a body like an animal. a few of these creatures are rarely capable of speech, and learning. Only the rarest have magic, or an ability of magic. Ponies are a good example of the rarest.

There are others though, and when one of them finds himself in Equestria with no memories and only knowledge, he is very lost. What will become of the beast that can manipulate time? Will he become an enemy, an ally, or something else, as he has no real control over his ability.

Time is fairly malleable. Tough, capable of changes without deviation even from past ripples. That is... very fortunate. Or maybe change might be for the better. Only time would tell, but it might not have much of a choice in the matter anymore.
