A soldier since childhood. An engineer and genius. A deadly master of poisons and daggers. An arrogant, cynical, realist who has seen the worst of humanity--and taken part in it. A neurotic overthinker who not only thinks outside of the box, but will attempt to outthink the box six-ways-to-Sunday. A deranged lunatic who thrives on lies, deceit, and chaos.

All of these describe the human, Thorne. He has been thrust into an alternate reality--a reality with a hint of modern and medieval touches. A world full of magic, wonder, and monsters. Thorne, who was called into the world due to his dark-hearted nature, now stands at the cusp of a new world with only one mission--kill the four princesses of Equestria within one year. To disobey or fail means death.

This is his journey into a land unknown.

Author's Foreword: Started as a passion project but evolved into a personal love letter to a show & fandom. It's a story about redemption and friendship. And now features cover art I did myself!
I'll try to keep the tags accurate. And I apologize for terrible pony names.
Warning: This can and will get dark and gory, as well as have references to sex and intimacy. Don't know if it deserves the tags. If it does, let me know.
