Despite the name, it's not really a war story. You'll see why the story has its title later on.
Inspired by Loveless Novas: aLIEz. You don't need to watch the video to understand this story, but it's a great music video.
I also wrote this story because during the time when I was thinking it I was going through a VERY tough time in my life. I'm okay now (sorta) but at the time I was pretty dang depressed. Hope y'all enjoy the story.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are gone without a single trace. With nopony to watch over Equestria is up to Twilight to take the throne. However when Queen Chrysalis invades Equestria yet again, it's much more than Twilight can bargain for.

There is a legend about a tree that can bear a fruit of pure gold. Capable of granting the consumer ultimate power. Guarded by the creature known as the first consumer, this "forbidden," fruit has drawn the eyes of many and claimed the lives of many more. Not one person has managed to gain the power of the fruit. Legends swirl around the golden fruit such as the name of the place the fruit is said to grow. Equestria.
Taking the fruit would mean the end of the world, sparking a war between the bearer of the fruit and those determined to keep the fruit from falling into the wrong hands. One cursed warrior is determined to challenge these guardians, take the fruit and be granted the ultimate power himself.
