Story Description:
Chaos.

Chaos exists everywhere, in all things. Despite most cultures' best efforts to prevent it, chaos always finds a way. This is the universe's way of maintaining balance; no order without chaos, no chaos without order.

Balance.

Unfortunately for the universe, things don't always end up working how they're supposed to. Sometimes the balance is thrown off, and a third party is required to intervene.

When dealing with this kind of thing on a universal scale, the intervention frequently consists of ripping something from one universe, and dumping it in another. When the intended result is to create chaos, that thing is usually a human. Little explanation is required as to why this is.

Chaos Mages. That's what these human enforcers of chaos have come to be called over the years. In a land where order is complete, and the mere presence of a human is not enough, these Chaos Mages will be granted certain abilities. These abilities can range anywhere from enough telekinesis to move a stone, to the ability to move an entire continent; it all depends on how off balance things are.

On a lovely world called Equus, lies the Kingdom of Equestria. Not long ago, this kingdom somehow found itself the target of a mad God. The duty of this God, known to the inhabitants of Equus as 'Discord', was once to ensure that the world didn't fall into a monotonous order. He went a bit overboard.

With Discord encased in stone, unable to influence the balance of the universe in which he had resided, things quickly calmed down. There were a few instances of the order being disturbed; the invasion of the capital of Equestria by a Changeling Swarm being prominent amongst them. After that, and a couple other outbursts of chaos, life quickly became disgustingly orderly for the citizens of Equus.

An intervention was deemed necessary. From across the dimensional void, a single human was plucked from his life, and dropped into the middle of Equestria. Of course, no one bothered to tell him what was going on.

Updates:
Yes, the human is turned into a pony in Chapter Three. I realize that this dissuades some people, so it should be noted that he's human again by the end of Chapter Five.

No, This isn't a self-insert... -_-
Please like if you're going to favorite. It's really hard to properly judge myself when people don't.
Yep, he's a pony again in seven. This is once again temporary. In fact, this will always be temporary, so stop asking.

Author's Note:
I'm starting another big project. Is this a bad idea? Probably. Will it reduce the time I have for other things? Most definitely. Do I look like I care? Nope!

Writing started near the end of Season 3.
