Human Stefan and Human turned Sphinx Shezmu of Taremu are now thrust into the world at different times and in different cultures. Though whether or not they know it teaming up is at the least of the worries list when simple things that when brought to the surface under the light of reality, despite how easy it seems to be warped these days, have intriguing to terrifying implications. Just what does harmony mean when put up against free will? What is the price paid by the common when Mythical is a word with as much value as a tree branch in a forest?

This is a mix of both Slice of LIfe and Adventure so be aware of time gaps.

This is more or less an experiment on self-insert fanfiction by having a duo rather than just one person. In this we take on two of the more popular tropes when it comes to MLP. One is HiE self-insert while the other is Death/Rebirth. The main focus however is when reality is brought to the world in which Equestria resides. With the latest seasons and the movie introducing some absolutely bananas concepts when thought about in a realistic fashion. The movie so casually mentions slavery to the point in which beings are bought and sold on the spot with no care to who either party are.  The fact that golden age piracy is also a thing thanks to the movie as well. The show introducing different kingdoms with different sentient species. Now if you do that thing called add reality with these already established concepts the world in which equestria resides is the end of middle ages combined with the wild west and age of exploration with a dash of the industrial age on top and the implications are astounding.

Expect some canon to be tossed in the trash and altered head canon in its place to make the world a bit more real.
