Humans have lived in peace with ponies for hundreds of years, and Human technology has advanced Equestrian technology and weaponry.
In ANM 993, a rumor of a group called ' Assassins ', who were supposedly a secret force set up by Celestia.
This Rumor was more real then many believed, and eventually the rumors changed to one Assassin.
Little did anyone know a human, under order of Princess Celestia, sent to Ponyville, his hometown where his bullying and teasing commenced, but also where his childhood crush on a orange mare. Was carrying robes with some metallic weapons in them.
