Chapter 1In The Beginning

When I had woken up, I was surprised by the surge of memories hitting my brain. It caused me to fall off the bed. As I slowly stood up, I realized I was unsteady on my feet. I slowly looked at myself in a full-length mirror. I was surprised to see I was now a horse-shaped humanoid.

As I slowly looked through my memories on why I was now horse-shaped. I realized I had been transported to a strange new world. Specifically, I had been transported to my little pony as an anthro horse person.

I wonder quickly how I was sent here before realizing I had no reason to go looking down that rabbit hole because that would most likely end badly for me.

As I searched my memories for my apparent new name and where I was living. I was surprised to find out I was living in the capital city of Canterlot. As a young unicorn pony by Onyx's name, my cutie mark was the ability to smith.

I could use it and my magic to make small exciting things, in my opinion, and some very dark thoughts about things I could create that slowly filtered into my mind.

It was roughly 9 months till the summer festival that would release the nightmare moon back onto the world.

That is terrifying to my horse side that is native of this world. I also know the most dangerous place, and the safest place is by the element of harmony's side. Now the question becomes will I head there and maybe make a change to the story.

What kind of question is that? Obviously, I am going, but the question becomes what I am going to do there. I start looking into my memories and am surprised that he was just a shopkeeper making small magical toys. When he had the memories and education to become a magical researcher for the Royal Equestria Army, he could have made the next generation of magical armor.

Magic in Equestria used a lot of math to create spells, and my smith magic used even more advanced math, which was plain annoying.

So, I get out of Canterlot and head to ponyville and set up a small research station to do whatever research I wanted. I also get to enjoy the small life in private and be in a mostly safe face.

I sigh slowly as I look around my apartment and nod to myself. I cannot stay away even if I wanted to; I am being drawn there. I knew why I was unemployed in my previous life until I was in my late twenties. This is my chance at greatness to be remembered for something extraordinary.

---Time skip 1 week later---

As I stood in front of the train station, which would take me to ponyville, I could not help but wonder what it said about my previous body owner. It took me a week to pack up and be ready to move. He had a successful business. Maybe it said a lot about me that I could give up everything and pursue what this body had absolutely loved doing even though his mark was more towards crafting what other people researched.

It will take longer to complete the research, but I will make whatever I want based on the research that I have done when my research is done.

I already have a plan for my first research project. I was going to research how to make prosthetics using magic that was just as good as a real limb that I could make.

As I slowly made my way to get on the train, I slowly moved down the alley to find a seat, and I had my pick of choice's there was nobody on the train going to ponyville.

---Time skip A few hours---

I slowly looked around ponyville as I headed toward the manor house that I had boughten. I was surprised at how big the house was—a perfect amount of room for a research station and a smithy.

I was surprised that I had not run into anybody, and I had wondered why. I mean, I saw some side characters. Still, I had not seen any of the main characters, and I could not figure out why—no pinkie pie, which surprised me because of everything that is shown.

It was described that she was like the party god and an all-knowing one. As I moved to open the door, I heard a cough and turned around in surprise, and then I saw her a pink anthro horse.

"hello there, I am Onyx," I greeted her in surprise.

"Hiya, I am pinkie pie. I just wanted to welcome you to ponyville and see our newest resident," she said with a remarkably cheery voice.

"I see well, thank you very much" I smiled at her and was surprised that she was so beautiful she did not have colossal breasts. Still, her hips and butt really popped out; it was incredibly juicy looking. If I had to give it a shape, I would almost say pearish.

She gave me this little smirk that made me realize that she had seen me checking her out, and I had just realized that I was not as smooth as I thought I was.

"W-well, I must be going now" I smiled at her nervously, and she just giggled at me and did that not do exciting things to her body.

"Later, Onyx, I am going to be throwing you a welcome party. I will be by with the invites," I watched as she walked away with a slight sway to her hips.

"That woman will most likely be the death of me or at least my heart rate" I opened the door quickly and moved my things into the house as quickly as fast as possible, and to go take a cold shower.

---Time skip 6 hours---

As I sat in my workshop started writing out the steps to the prosthetic I am developing. I suddenly felt my stomach start grumbling and realized I had no food at all.

I sorted all the papers that I would need for when I got back and started heading for my jacket. I had only been here for six hours. I already needed to go back out, and just when I was hitting my grove for the prosthetic, because I had forgotten to pick up food for the week.

As far as food goes, I must go out and get a week's worth of groceries, and I know the cakes have a restaurant. I also know the apples sell most fruit and vegetables. Still, I sigh because I know I can eat meat, but most ponies consider this to be a high taboo, so it looks like I am giving up meat.

I slowly moved outside and could not help but wonder how the people will treat me. Most ponies follow herd mentally, and I noticed that I am not as social as most ponies in the world, making me seem weird.

As I slowly entered the marketplace, I saw it was bustling compared to when I first showed up, and this was surprising for me. I thought there were not a lot of ponies.

I wonder what they were all doing before I realized that even though I did not have a current job did not mean others did not, and even though this town moves slow does not mean they do not need to work.

I wonder why I did not think about it before I looked at the small children running around. I quickly smiled and moved around them, watching them play and run around. I knew at that moment this is where I belonged.

I looked around the farmer's market and saw various foods stocked around the place. I was surprised at the prices before I remember this was the countryside, not a major city or a town ponyville has one level of education center at every level.

I slowly carried my food to the checkout and saw a young blue female Pegasus "hello there, miss just these please, and may I know your name."

"Solar Twirl," she blushed quite prettily at my smile. I could not help but wonder why I mean from my memories I was not considered the best-looking specimen in my school "your price comes out to 18 bits".

Then I remember this was the countryside and thought about it for a second. I was only about an 8 on the scale to 10, but that did not mean I was hideous.

"that is quite cheap for this quality of food," I said to her in surprise as a slowly handed over the bits.

"well, that is because we keep some of the best stuff for ourselves, and we have no transport fees," she informed me quite helpfully.

I watched as she loads up the good as I nodded in thought as this was an excellent reason, I slowly picked up the two bags of food that I bought.

"Have a nice day, Solar, and could you let miss pie that if she wishes to host a party for me, I do not enjoy loud music? I prefer calm music," I informed her quickly before making my way out and home, and I saw it an old soldier earth pony without a leg. I was lucky that I had my blueprint in my book that I brought everywhere.

I walked up to him quickly and bowed "hello, my name is Onyx Cobalt, and I would like to inquire about your help with something."

He looked at me slowly nodded his head "Silver Arrow, and what could an old colt like me help you with, young man."

I quickly got out my book and held out the blueprint for the arm and leg. "I am a magic researcher, and for my first project, I want to help people who have lost an arm or leg get back to normal. I know you may…"

"interesting you want to attach to the nerves directly giving haptic feedback. As well as full movement restoration using a runic language to power it," Silver spoke with interest in his tone.

"yes, how did you know?" I asked in genuine curiosity.

"young man, you are not the first to think of this. The problem always is the runic language… There is currently no powerful enough rune language to run it, and no one has succeeded in making one. If you could make a rune language to run this, I would be willing to allow you to use me as a test subject. Still, right now, it's a good dream, and I hope you succeed. I truly do hope you succeed because this is the best plan I have seen in a long time," he told me and slowly got up and picked up a crutch.

As I watched him hobble away, I already had a runic language to power this. In my previous life, I had created it out of boredom based on the Norse runes. There was nothing like them in this world, from what I could remember. I can already tell they are powerful. After all, I don't trust just anything with my protection. I slowly hold up a necklace with three runes on it. Mixing Warhammer dwarf runes with the true runes of the Norse created something amazing a proper monster rune language.

I nodded and started making my way home. With this, I will protect myself and help people like him like I wanted to in my previous life. I stood up as my back cracked and nodded time to work and prove to people like him that there is still hope.

Ethereal P.O.V

For a split-second, Onyx had gained wings and two feet in height before the magic of harmony decided he was not ready yet. After all, we could not have a rune lord without his rune language, and he has not proved that they will work as he thinks. After all, he still needs to be challenged.

Definitely not what I was expecting. The story has a darker take on the series, not to the point of being grimdark but it definitely has a more practical approach with some more sinister elements and some expanded background story. Anyone who starts the story should probably already know from the title that it is set in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe. To anyone this is a turn-off for, clearly it isn't for you. Though do note, even to those who don't mind that, that it isn't exactly the same since in this version the ponies are anthropomorphic. Wasn't an issue for me since if anything them being more humanoid made it easier to relate to on some level, but some might prefer it to stick to canon ponies. The world and its history are much darker than the show presents. Though that isn't necessarily saying a lot since in the show the worse that happens is a few scrapes and dust. This handles it more realistically in that regard since there is actual possibility of death and other dangers. For example there is something infecting the world in the background called "the Rot" or "the Filth" which corrupts the land and anyone caught in it, making them monsters. It will even drive them to cannibalism for some zombie vibes. The Filth is mostly contained and the wider public does not know about it. The Princesses work to ensure the public can enjoy their relatively carefree lives without knowing the kind of dangers that they're being protected from. Part of that projection is a group of Rune Knights which are one of the few select groups that know about the darker side of their world and are the first line of defense fighting it, often to their own demise. In hindsight, it actually reminds me a bit of the Blight from Dragon Age with the Rune Knights being the Grey Wardens. The MC dedicates his interest mostly into forging and crafting runic artifacts. From what I've gathered most of his runes come from his knowledge of other fictional worlds like Warhammer Dwarven runes or Asgardian Norse runes. He does hang out with some of the MLP cast though, be it in an intimate setting or just as friends, so its not like he spends all his time crafting. The story expands the lore and background of magic and other such things, making it not a 1-1 perfect replica of the shows setting but still follows it inline enough to be recognizable. Some may not not like the deviations but since I'm not exactly knowledgeable of the canon story anyway none of this bothered me. Some bits here and there could be a tad confusing at times (like I'm still not 100% sure what exactly the "Nightmare personas" are supposed to be, or rather why they exist) but for the most part I could follow it along rather well and the author has done a good job of making the story interesting. To sum it up the grammar is well done and the story interesting and enjoyable. Plus at time of writing this it has over 60+ chapters, with still regular updates. That is already well beyond what the vast majority of postings on this site get. Most struggle to take off past 10 chapters before being dropped dead. This has been quite a surprising find for me and I look forward to seeing how far it goes.
