The war pressed ever northwards, and Luna lead as the tip of that spear. Before her lay the abandoned town, Snow Vale. A safe pass through the mountains. A staging ground to strike at the Empire's very heart.

Sombra's beaten and broken slave-soldiers were retreating into the town. An oncoming blizzard darkened the horizon and within, icy demons fed to bloating by the war bay and howl. Luna narrowed her eyes. It would come too late. She would rout the enemy. She would take Snow Vale. She would claim the pass for their armies.

Half a league. Half a league. Half a league forwards.

Luna regarded her soldiers. Bright eyed, hot-breathed, ready. She smiled and gave the order.

They charged.

Glad to see this published!

This was a beautiful little character piece as we go inside Luna's head during a very interesting time for the younger Royal Pony sister. I read it late on a very cold night when I was feeling drowsy, which gave the struggle to keep Cotton Grass from slipping away a kind of surreal quality, but it certainly kept me riveted. I loved the reveal of what ultimately gave away their hiding place.

A wonderfully done, intimate character piece!

Before I read this, what is the Gore and Dark tag for ?
And how bad does it get ?

It is dark because there is a theme of war and death. Gore because there is some blood and the description of a wound. Neither tag is used for excessive effect; rather they tell the story. I believe you will enjoy reading it.
