Dawn's new day.

by Aiwhisper
Balanced Dawn an 'average' colt from Sires Hollow, one that wasn’t ever supposed to exist. At least according to his new memories.

Balanced Dawn was just an average colt living in Sires Hollow until a sonic rain-boom gave him memories and a cutie mark, but are the memories his and should they even exist, should he for that matter? Now he has to decide, should he stick close to the story he now knows about or write a brand new one?
