Celestia always protected Equestria, she was the immortal ruler of the greatest nation ever to exist. Her ponies adored her for spending gracious light and the other nations feared the unknown powers that may lie behind her tender smile.
All of Equestria thought it would become a new golden age after the return of the princess of the night, but it was only the calm before the storm.
Chrysalis, the queen of the changelings, managed to put a crack in the picture of the impregnable Celestia. And naturally, when there is blood in the water, the sharks will come.
Tirek was only the first to challenge the rule of the two sisters. And now, with the elements of Harmony gone, Equestria is weaker than ever before.
A storm is about to befall the land and every pony must unleash all its strength if they want to last. After one millennium of peace, ponies must go to war.
Special Thanks to Basic Information for giving me his honest thoughts on what I write. And thanks for taking care of the Apple's accent, I'm no good with that. ^^
On hiatus until further notice
This is awesome. No other words suffice.

Glad to hear so, I'm never quite sure how good or bad the stuff I throw at you really is

Feels really good to read that, I hope you will stick around for more
Solid chapter, it was well worth the wait. I'm always intrested in how people write the princesses considering how important but irrelevant they are in the series. Leaves a lot of head room to imagine broader personalities for the princess or keep them in the rather reserved and stoic point of view.
P.s I like that cover art!
I am watching this. Very astute apart from the slight grammatical mistakes.

Their importance and yet absence in the series is what makes them so incredibly difficult to write. It's not like a backround pony where next to no canon exists, but they are far less flashed out then the mane 6.
I tried to portray Celestia as part mother and part politician, cunning, charismatic and intelligent, but far from all knowing, all the while being gentle and loving, especially towards the ones close to her.
Maybe I will come back to the other princesses later, maybe not, I don't know yet.
At this point, there are a few chapters and event that are already in my mind and that will definitely come at one point or the other, but since the story is more of a retelling of events, there is always room to squeeze new ideas or characters in.

Thanks for the compliment, I'm happy you found the new chapter to your liking.
Sorry btw for the errors, as said before I'm no native speaker and this story has no full-fledged editor at this point, so I'm doing my best. I hope it didn't break the immersion too much.
INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Just....wow. What an action scene! Some of the best I have ever read for sure! It was thrilling, stirring, and had me on the edge of my seat
I"m impressed and I don't even like war and/or gore
The ending was a bit...confusing, but there's always something confusing when it comes to cliff hangers!
Can't wait to read more!

I honestly thaught you already read this one since it's the first thing I ever put up
That it's to your liking makes me really happy, especially since I know that you don't like the darker themes that occur in this one. But, I can assure you, there will be no gore. This story isn't about brutally killing different mlp species, of course there will be violence and death, but I will not discribe it in any detail whatsoever. There is a reason why this story has no "gore" tag
The cliffhanger, yeah, you will have to deal with those in this one, I sort of try to let every chapter end on some sort of cliffhanger, but the first chapter is arguably the weakest, as with many first chapters out there
OMG they should call it the Ponyville rgeiment cuz each group of guard has their own name Example: Celetial Guard (Crlestia's Guard) Ps: Im not good at spelling so sorry if there are any mistakes!

Well, technically the name of the regiment will be something along the lines of "Twilight guard" since it is comissioned as princess Twilight Sparkle's personal guard. The regiment itself will most likely refer to itself as "the Ponyville first and only" since they are the first, and subsequently only, guard regiment comissioned from Ponyville.
Your spelling isn't so bad that it get's unintelligable, so no problem at this end. And once again, thanks for the fav and the watch.
