Celestia's guidance has long been the watchward of Harmony in Equestria, under her rule, the realm has never known war, civil strife, famine or plague, and its ponies have remained by and large, pure and morally upstanding. But recently, the world has begun to change. Equestria is drawn into peacekeeping efforts outside its borders, and for the first time in centuries ponies across the land see the coffins of soldiers return to grieving families. Ethnic and cultural tensions between constituent races resurface, and the cracks in this harmonious union of Equines have begun to show. As enemies begin to gather around Equestria, it becomes obvious that the old ways of peace are coming to an end. Sinister and benevolent forces alike gather both without and within, all determined to paint their own future on the canvas of Equestria. Ponies like Gale Storm, a young officer of the Royal Equestrian Army, will have to choose where their loyalties lie, and how far they are willing to go to see their visions of the future realized.

I, The Great and Powerful Trixie, have been reduced to performing magic tricks in a Trottingham tavern. One would think I'd never sink this low, but it's not as bad as it could be. The food is good, the beds are soft, and the company plentiful. The only problem? I'm stuck here until I earn enough bits to buy another caravan so I can get back on the road where I belong.

So imagine my delight when one evening, a conpony walks through the door and starts cheating at cards. It was a golden opportunity: a chance to line my purse, play the heroine, and teach an amateur magician a thing or two about misdirection.

I had a perfect plan. My only mistake was getting a friend involved.

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
