A bitter young man is torn from the world he knows due to the machinations of the dark King Sombra. Knowing nothing else other than his own cynicism and the loss of his one true friend, he is forced to confront the very cynical beliefs with which he's struggled all his life due to his interactions with the ponies we all know and love. This is a rewrite of the original story.

My name is Seth Rogers. I'm your typical college student trying to get a major in computer science. Except that all goes out the metaphorical door when some crazy guy running around in armor zaps me into a land filled with ridiculous looking ponies colored every color of the freaking rainbow. Or all of them, in one case. ... I want them to stay as far away from me as possible.
