After the fall of Tirek, Discord reflects on his past and the nature of forgiveness. A history of pain and death, Discord wishes to fix one of his greatest sins. The genocide of humanity. Discord's only hope for retribution lies in the stone body of one of his victims. A soldier he had broken will live again in Equestria. Will the human be able to adapt to this new world?

Mathew was a normal child when the end of the world happened. Darkness erupted from the Earth, casting demons onto the people of Earth.

Humanity in return, caste him out and into the void with no hope of returning home. (Rewriting)
