Although the lost of the Golden Highway has left many Equestrians scared and frightened. Our beloved ruler and one of the founders of the ULE, Princess Luna, encourages her people to not give in to the foul and evil Horde that brought this blight to our fare kingdom.
As you read this, Princess Cadence and newly formed 2nd Royal Army are heading off to defend our allies of the Crystal Empire from a highly possible surprise invasion of the Brutal Horde of the Forest. Whereas the brave Captain of the Royal Guard stays with the 1st Canterlotian Garrison to defend Canterlot and her rulers and people.
Sadly for the other members of the ULE, the Griffin Empire has lost the grand city of Wingdoma to a combine attack of Dragons and Zebra Separatists, leaving the empire at the edge of the cliff of doom as enemy forces crawls ever closer to the capital. Even worse, the Minotaurs has fallen into disarray as rival chieftains fights for mantel and title as High-Chief after the brave sacrifice of High-Chief Rock-Axes during the Battle for the Golden Highway.
Meanwhile in the political sides of things. Before Cadence left the castle, she tried to ask Princess Celestia to try and reopen peace talks with Horde's founder and warlord; Dynol The Damned. At first discussions seemed to favour this crazy idea before the ever watchful Princess of the Night remembered the royals that talking with Dynol would only mean a stab in the back as well as more lives lost to the war. With some arguments here and there between the Princesses of Love and Night, Princess Celestia stopped it and declared that talks will happen between the ULE and Horde but only when a clear victory or sudden stalemate is possible.
For now, the war looks dark but only because a little raincloud blocks the everlasting sun. And with hard work and unbending spirits, as Princess Twilight stated, will Equestria put an end to Dynol's rampage for peace between factions and ponies.

Today, my eyes has gazed upon my father's fathers' homeland.
Thanks to the workers and Razorcasts, our forces has arrived at the frozen lands of our people before our forceful exodus by the ponies. Although miles from the crystal city, we could see the railway that the trains uses to travel throughout the lands.
When me and my people saw our homeland, I won't deny that it brought tears to our eyes. Even though hundreds of years had passed, we could smell the ancient clans's fires and see the mighty huts that dotted around the lands we mined and hunted. I could remember my father's tales of the Diamond Dogs's first capital of Mut'talva; 'Of mud and stones, all canines can call Mut'talva home'. Even WoodFang and his packs of Everfree's finest predators could feel the emotion running through my people's blood and hearts. We howled with tears of joy and hope, knowing one day, our whole people can return to Mut'talva and name it home again.
But for now, we had a mission and I'm gonna see it through. We must establish a perimeter within a region the ponies' calls the Icy Spire. A region of which has a massive icy spike, large enough to be mistaken for a small mountain or castle. There Lord Dynol spoke of an 'Avatar' of which will aid us for the long run, a weapon we can use against the Crystal Empire and bring justice to our forefathers and their injustice punishment.
This I will not fail, as me and WoodFang will see it complete. I may of not been born during the old days of my people, but I will be DAMNED if I do not reclaim our homeland and spill some Crystal Blood!
Battle Report 399 (Dragon Holds)
Overlord E'drak, I am happy to report that the Talon'Scars has just cooked some roast chickens at the City of Eggphar.
Our forces and our zebra allies have brought down fire and death to the Griffins and their allies under the cover of night. Their wings could not escape our jaws. Their weak armour could not save them from zebra spears and their walls crumbled at the very winds of our wings that we sent crashing into said walls!
But that's not all, I just got word from a little dog from our ally in the Horde of the Forest. He requested form his Alpha reinforcements to aid him in large plan within the Crystal Lands. I must say though, this Dynol has got the Equestrian Rulers' by their tails now if he is so bold to attack the Crystal Empire.
I told the dog I would send this to you, as I know we not 'publicly' allied with the Horde of the Forest. If we even send our forces there, it will take a mouth at least to arrive, since most our forces are dealing with the Griffin Empire.
Although it is not my place to speak on your behalf, Overlord. I do suggest that we at least send in a token force to aid them, seeing that there aren't any problems to worry about. Plus, a handful of dragons aiding the Horde would maybe end this war quicker.
But that's my thoughts, you can cast them aside if you please.
To say the least, Overlord E'drak. We are on the winning side.

I have never thought in a million years my heart would be faster than light! It feels amazing!
Snow Charm. She's like an angel from above. Her voice, her sense of humour, her laughter-- Everything about her is so prefect. We had dinners, we spent times together and I can't stop thinking about her. It gotten to the point of me just daydreaming about her in the middle of the Lunatic's meetings.
But this is serious now. Arcana is planning a very dangerous meeting for us. He's gonna spilt the group in two to help our forces in Manehatten. He's making me, Snow Charm and my sister go to Everstand by teleportation, entrusting us to help the defences there so that when, not if Dynol attacks us, we'll be ready to deal with him. Though I must admit, I have a strong feeling that we'll be needing more than just three of us to stop his rampage.
He and Shamrock will be put in with the Lunar Guards for a special mission made by Luna herself. I do not even know what it is, saying that it is only for their ears only. What I could gather up is that they'll be sent to attack somewhere that'll hurt the Horde badly. Let's just hope that'll count.
I'm a bit nervous for all of this, seeing how much we're on the backstage of all of this conflicts. I just hope this war will end soon, the fact that the Horde of the Forest is still pushing the offence keeps giving me bad mojo.
But I must think positive, I have faith in Arana and Princess Luna. They haven't failed us lose a war yet and I'll doubt we'll lose this one.
Right now, I need to find a good tie for me and Snow's next date. It's hard to believe how ponies still carry on their daily lives so normally even when they know they're at war with an enemy that's really right outside our gates.

I do not remember the last time I was eager to go to war. But that doesn't matter, I am ready for a fight in the name of my Queen.
Her wise and clever mind never dulls, doesn't it? When I returned to her in failure, I thought she was going to kill me but when I mentioned that it was that fool Dynol that took the traitors, her eyes were alit with hatred. She then focused her rage on a weakling drone she was going to drain his life-force away before I interrupted her.
After two weeks of thinking alone in her throne room, she called for me to ready her army and prepare for war. Although in my hungry state I asked who will be fighting. The Equestrians? Their ULE?
Her answer was a shocker, but wise and truthful as always. Now, with the Horde and the Equestrians now weaken through their fighting. It is time for the Changeling Hive Army to join in the conflict and this time...
We'll do it right and shall not fall!
