So I've seen a lot of Human in Equestria stories where the human shows up and is hated or not known and met with curiousity. I've only seen one story where humans are known and beloved, like an opposite of Brony's, only ponies that like Humans.
Well, what I've come up with is a story where humans are known, but not as a TV show.
This idea is inspired by a pic I saw of Twilight and Princess Celestia. Twilight is asking Celestia, why isn't she a queen? Why is she just a Princess? And Princess Celestia responds by holding up a bible and saying, 'Because Jesus is our king'.
What if Ponies held us as religious symbols? In this story idea, they would view us as something between Angels and Dietyhood back in the day, with organized religion around the mysterious creatures. But as time passed under Celestia's thousand years of peace, the popularity of such religions grew out of practice and only a few do so anymore, Lyra being among them. Since no one really believes in the humans anymore, the only ones who believe are devout fanatics and since the majority of the populous looks down on believing such tripe, it's almost become a cult. And as such religions go, differing beliefs over the purpose of humans has caused branching cults to appear. Some believe the humans will deliver the ponies to a higher state of being. Some believe the humans will bring the end times.
Fast forward to the day Nightmare Moon escapes. Between that and the use of the Elements of Harmony ends up sucking a human into Equestria. How will s/he cope in this realm of religious dogma? How will the pony world react when they realize all the 'crackpots' were right? What will both sides of the religion do when they realize humans are just like them and aren't there to destroy, or deliver them to a higher state of being? How will this down to earth human deal with being viewed as the pony messiah or the equivalent of the four horsemen? Where will the Gryphons, Dragons, and Zebra fit into all this?
