For centuries the Ten Legions of Equestria have stood as a bulwark against those seeking to destroy Equestria. From the lowest trainee to the Captain of the Guard, all are ready to lay down their lives for her security. However peace has more or less reigned for the past few decades and no vigilance can be eternally kept. Contracted by a mysterious employer, a team of griffin mercenaries has infiltrated Equestria to assassinate a pony. The simple attempt on one life will alter the fate of a thousand ponies.
