A Blaze Brought Forth Again

Prologue Chapter 2: A Bashing Shield

Though rarely seen, ponies can be found from places beyond what are considered the borders of Equestria.

One such pony is Rafiq, a Royal Canterlot Knight from the far away land of Hockland, located in one of the Great 3 Oceans.

Rafiq came to Equestria as a request of his late sister, Dewdrop, that he protect it in place of her upon her fall in battle. Rafiq did as he was requested and rose quickly through the ranks of Celestia’s Soldiers to become a Captain of the Guard much like Shining Armor thanks to his power and righteous ways.

Today, Rafiq continues his duty at Canterlot, ever conscious of the one soul he was unable to save in his years of service as a Solar Guard in his many years of service. The one casuality he could have prevented in the Great War of Betrayal and Separation.
