The Titan's Orb


The very first instalment to the series, The Titan's Orb was originally written by Callum in 2012, almost immediately after becoming a Brony and getting involved into the world of FanFiction. This version contained no prologue, and three chapters were uploaded which contained 7000 words each.

While the reception wasn't awful, Callum was unhappy with this edition of the story, and removed it from FimFiction and worked on it for a year, before releasing it with a newer and fresher tone, each chapter now containing 5000 words a chapter.

This 5000 words-per-chapter benchmark has remained consistent throughout the series, ensuring each chapter is consistent and has the same amount of content.

In this first book, the plot and lore isn't as deep, and mostly focuses on these key elements...
 * Distancing the characters and Equestrian lore from their cartoon counterparts; it is explained that the "My Little Pony" cartoon is a mere interpretation of the real world of Equus, mainly through Lauren Faust's dreamlike visions of their dimension.
 * Shrouding the main antagonist in mystery. Other than the prologue and epilogue, Nah'Lek doesn't actually appear in the story, and is only mentioned in conversations.
 * Callum's emotions and developing character as he begins to adapt as a killer.
 * Raising suspicions of Twilight and her unusual behaviour.
 * Callum's relationship with the ponies, specifically the tension between him and Twilight.
 * The Mane Six becoming accustomed to Earth, and its many dangers and cultures. It's also mentioned numerous times that Equestria isn't as peaceful as the show depicts, and that they're in fact accustomed to similar horrors in their own world.

In 2017, Callum decided to remaster The Titan's Orb, and has since been slowly fixing grammar and dialogue issues, along with changing minor plot details and scenes. This is primarily to make the experience fresh for new readers, while bringing a new enjoying read to current fans awaiting new chapters.

Rising Storm
The Titan's Orb: Rising Storm is the second novel in the series, which was officially marked as complete on Christmas Day, the 25th of December, 2018.

Taking a much darker turn, the story picks up immediately where the first book left off.

Rising Storm serves a revelation to the mysteries that the previous story left behind, but also brings forth a fresh collection of subplots, such as relationships, new characters, and new motives that derive from the main objective of finding the orb shards.

Most of the chapters are set in Portugal, as most of the subplots lie there, although there are other locations introduced, such as The Frozen Forest, and the Sahara Desert.

With a much deeper plot and an greatly darker tone, Rising Storm focuses on these key elements...
 * Callum finally comes to terms with being a killer, and is now desensitised to it.
 * Revealing the cause of Twilight's bizarre behaviour.
 * The Fel, it's origins, and what it's capable of.
 * Nah'Lek the Defiler's looming threat as he comes to Earth to hunt the group.
 * The threat of the Orcish Horde, now enslaved by Nah'Lek.
 * Callum's depression is brought to light and is accepted by the group.
 * The introduction of Hawnu Rey'eng, the mysterious guardian.
 * Callum's love interest, Bunnie.
 * The loss of Bunnie, and dealing with the stages of grief.
 * Various encounters with Nah'Lek within dreamscapes.
 * Backstories and lore, including that of Tartarus and Hades.
 * Exposing the voice in Callum's head, Conscio, revealing his true identity.
 * Locating Vitra 'Aku, The Titan's Sword, and learning of its properties.

Breaking Dawn
The Titan's Orb: Breaking Dawn released on the 15th of March 2020. It continues exactly where the last book ended, in the same manner that Rising Storm continued directly from the first book.

Learning his new role as Champion, Callum continues with the six to retrieve the last two fragments of the Titan's Orb.

Continuing along the dark path set by the previous book, this book will be primarily focused on these key elements...


 * Callum learning to wield and utilise Vitra 'Aku, the Titan's Sword.
 * Rainbow Dash reuniting with her adopted human father.
 * Further backstory and Lore, expanding on Equestria and its history.
 * Death.
 * Finding the remaining two shards of the Titan's Orb.
