The Sword And Shield Of Equestria

"That was one of the ways that ponies called Luna and I when we were ruling Equestria. Luna was the sword, fighting in the front lines, defeating fearsome monsters and making sure her platoons returned as intact as possible to the cities. And I was the shield, ruling the kingdom and maintaining the peace and prosperity of it. And if a threat managed to get pass Luna’s war hammer, they knew I would protect them with everything I had."

A piece of one of my stories that I made real in drawing.

Not really much of an artist so any opinion is welcomed.

It was part of the inspiration, but I guided myself with actual horse armor IRL.
FoCE armour is great, as is the movie

People often forget that a shield is just as dangerous as a sword. And that its edge is very sharp. A shield is but a weapon with a different shape.

At least, that's what I learned by watching Marvel's Captain America.

Especially the buckler, which is small and made for parrying, but it will easily make your enemy spit their teeth with a well placed blow.

Have to say, this IS some really good "backstory stuff" for Celestia and Luna. Thanks very much for sharing.
