Commander Hurricane was one of the greatest of the pegasus commanders. Taking her place in the order of the Valkyries, she stood at the head of the army of the great Nimbus Ring.

Then the Nimbus Ring vanished.

The eldest Valkyrie had slain the King, stealing the flying fortress of the Ring and fleeing northwards. Not willing to let her go after everything they'd done together, Hurricane refused to leave her be and winged north after her. However, her mission will transform from what she'd originally thought. There are dark forces at work, cold as the grave, and Hurricane, though she doesn't yet know it, will play a pivotal role in the battle to come.

Inspired in great part by Imploding Colon's Austraeoh series.

You may want to ignore some of the Favourite alerts on this, it seems to have a propensity to duplicate chapters.

Clover the Clever was one of the greatest spellcasters of all time, only falling short of her teacher, Star Swirl. No pony could match her spell for spell but he.

Her friends are departed. Private Pansy is in the far south, exploring new territories. Chancellor Puddinghead and Smart Cookie are far too busy with diplomacy to ever speak to her. Commander Hurricane has flown far to the north to chase the Nimbus Ring. Her last company is her oldest friend, Platinum.

Now she's alone.

Platinum vanished without a trace right front of her, immensely powerful magical energy nearly burning her senses. Something has taken the Once-Princess, but unlike Hurricane, she has no need to travel far into the outer reaches of the world to find what she seeks.

No, for Clover and Star Swirl, the culprit lies far closer to home.
