This story is a sequel to Wonderbolt Trials and Tribulations
Dreams. For most, they are just that. But a lucky few can make it reality.
Four years have passed since Rainbow Dash became a Wonderbolt. Also marking four years since she began her relationship with Soarin. With her lifelong dreams accomplished, life couldn’t seem better.
However, all golden ages must come to an end sooner or later.
A shift in power in the Griffon Kingdom once again drags Equestria into its fifth Equesto-Griffon war. Rainbow Dash always accepted that getting militarized was just part of the job, but she never imagined actually going to war during her lifetime. Frankly, nopony in Equestria did.
When Soarin and Rainbow Dash get separated during this conflict, they start seeing it through different perspectives. Turns out things aren’t ever as clear-cut as they seem, leading to some questionable decisions…
Will they survive? If so, will they emerge on the correct side of history? And perhaps most importantly, will their relationship remain strong throughout the conflict?
(I started writing this series during season 4, so this story only takes into mind cannon up to the end of season 4. Although that's not to say some elements of future seasons may make their way into the story at some point.)
