Return of the Ancient Mage

by Zoshe
An old face returns, seeming to have some past with Equestria's rulers. Who is he and why is he returning now?

Twilight's had enough to deal with being the newly crowned Princess of Friendship.
However, when someone returns from Equestria's distant past, things begin to turn a bit unusual.
Now she has to deal with this strange mage that has been calling the library home for far longer than she has.
Who exactly is he, and why is he returning now?
