What makes a victim and what makes a villain?

After their defeat at the Battle of the Bands, the Dazzlings retreat into self-confinement to lick their wounds whilst they reassess their entire strange and fated lives from their beginnings in Equestria, up to the present. However, learning how to cope with the world and each other—living an immortal life in a powerless body—might just be more than any of them can bear.

Lines are blurred in this dark, historical, novelesque sirens origin story of innocence lost, heartache, betrayal, hope, and of course, beautiful music.

Some say that time heals all wounds. Others say absence makes the heart grow fonder. How, then, is one supposed to move on from a home and a life from centuries ago when the hurt only grows stronger with each passing day?

This story is a sequel to Secondo

Over a thousand years ago, a great crime was committed, and three innocent souls, acting only by the rules of nature, were locked away. Until recently.

Recently freed from their ancient prison due to the growing strife among seaponies and hippogriffs, the sirens emerged from the waters. Though a resistance quickly arose to oppose their new musical rule, they too were eventually swept aside and drowned out by the song that ruled all.

Hippogriffia was theirs, and their victory tasted sweet, but they all knew these were baby steps. There was a long road ahead of them. A treacherous path filled with dangers and revelations, one that would challenge everything they once knew and held dear, sometimes turning expectations on their head.

Zebrica, the ancient home of the Zebras and more lay just beyond the Seaquestrian channel and, with it, a land of mystery, opportunity, challenges, and surprise. A new, modern world is rising, one which strikes at the very type of magic with which the sirens have so long claimed supremacy over others. It is time, now, to weather this great current and let their song stay true throughout it, to let it be heard far and wide, through the trenches and cities, over the boom of artillery and the roar of airplanes.

The shores of Zebrica await, and the show must begin.

This story is a sequel to Secondo. Reading it is advised but not ultimately necessary. The description above (and the first chapter) give a sufficient enough description of what happened in the prequel.

Similarly as the prequel, this story is set in the Equestria at War alternate universe.

For well over a thousand years, now, they had been cast out, forced into a depressing life of solitude among only one another... which, given everything, did not make circumstances any more bearable, for them, most times.

No. No, they weren't cast out. Banished! They were imprisoned! Sealed away by that accursed Wizard and his lackies of five doing his bidding, as always! Their symphony had been perfect, a melody so harmonic and soothing it made only sense to keep listening. Their triumphant crescendo was upon Equestria, the final act in their grand serenade.

But that finale never came. Their final act... it was not to be. Or, so they thought.

Mortals were a curious bunch, in the end. Useless, petty and pathetic as one may call them, but they got a lot done in what little time they had for themselves. A new world, as it were, far different from the one the three of them had last seen, before the light of day was taken away from them in exchange for a dark prison so deep beneath the waves.

But one thing they all knew, to varying degrees: mortals were curious. And curiosity, be it as it were, would be the only thing they needed for their curtain call. The setting of the stage for a new, second act.

The Abyss calls.

This Story takes place in the Alternate Universe of Equestria at War. EaW uses a custom world map including 3 separate continents, and a 'modern' world setting equal to World War 2 (in most places). Consider trying out the mod for Hearts of Iron IV yourself, or check out the Fimfiction group and check out more stories about it.

For the purpose of this story, it's noteworthy that the Sirens were NOT banished to the EQG universe when Starswirl banished them, but were instead sealed away deep under the ocean.

A nation fractured and surrounded by enemies, a physically weak ruler who struggled daily to maintain an empire that weakened with each passing year. Together with nobles increasingly ambitious and emboldened as the emperor's authority dwindled.

All this added up to a powder fuse for a nation that would explode into conflict with the ambition of the various duchies and counties that already wielded considerable power.

And in the middle of all this chaos, he is born.

An old spirit in a young body. The first and only heir of the Von Greifenstein dynasty and the last hope of a declining Griffonian Empire.

Grover the Sixth, Emperor of the Griffons.

This story is based on the mod for Hoi4 Equestria at war. It's really worth checking out. All types of constructive criticism are accepted and very well welcome! I don't own any of the images! They all belong to the Equestria at war Dev team and their Artists!

Equestria and the Crystal Empire have fallen to the Changeling Hegemony, led by the brutal Queen Chrysalis at the head of a mechanized horde of guns and tanks. Princess Cadance stayed in the Crystal Empire; Princess Twilight stayed in Equestria. Chrysalis rules the continent, only defied by Nova Griffonia, the poor Griffon colony in the north.

Across the ocean, the Griffonian Reich pledges to reclaim its lost territory, sundered by revolution a generation ago. While the Alicorn Sisters retreat to New Mareland, Princess Flurry Heart and Shining Armor turn to Aquileia, the Republic born out of the ashes of the Griffonian Reich. The Kaiser of the Reich is only a child, subject to a regent bent on war and conquest.

Flurry knows the Reich and Chrysalis have worked together.

She knows that war is coming to Aquileia.

She knows that Celestia and Luna abandoned her mother and Twilight Sparkle.

She knows that the world is on fire, and she is the last true Princess of Ponies.

She knows she will go home.

[ Perhaps the most obvious set up for a character displaced fic I've ever come up with.
A Ranma 1/2 MLP crossover.]

[ Just another idea that popped into my head i need to get rid of before working on something else.]
