My name is Simon "Ghost" Riley. I was part of Task Force 141, an elite group of soldiers composed of the best of the best. Our mission was to take down Makarov, the mastermind of Russian invasion of America. The team consistered of myself, Roach, Ozone, and Scarecrow with sniper support from Archer and Toad. We didn't find Makarov, but we did find a jackpot of information. On our way to the landing zone, Ozone and Scarecrow were killed by mortar fire while me and Roach managed to survive. I dragged him all the way to the LZ but fate had other plans in store for us, specifically death at the hands of our own commanding officer. Shot point-blank, the shock and blood loss made my vision blur as everything went dark. I couldn't feel my body or when I hit the ground, but I could smell the scent of something before flames engulfed the world. I tried to resist Death's offer, but in the end, I gave in. I welcomed his embrace, hoping that I'd finally find peace.

Instead, here I am, alive and kicking in a world full of bloody ponies.

Everyone has things they wish they said. Written letters that were left unsent. Sometimes you say things you don't mean, and you desperately try to take them back. And sometimes, it's the exact opposite. Many things are soon left unsaid, causing a rift as two sisters slowly grow apart. Sometimes, they really wished that they had mailed those letters, or at the very least written then down in the first place.

The carnival arrives without warning. No announcements precede it, it is simply there, arriving with the bombastic overture of spells, contraptions, and performances, as intricate as they are spectacular.

It isn't long before ponyville- and it's heroines- become involved... and all too soon, things seem to look strange. A great number of patrons, none of which seem familiar even in Equestria... A sudden upheaval that could threaten not just the carnival, but anything beyond... And a power, something great and arcane and incredibly ancient, that sits at the center of it all...
