The War of the Kingdoms

Ahh yes, the flat lands, so nice, so great, so-

"FALL BACK! 'TIS THE CALIFORNIAN POWER! RETREAT!" Shouted the Captain of the first Musket division as an all-out charge from the Western imperial armies from the Calif legion which was given the name 'Californian'.

"SIR WE SHOU'D TH-" The Private was interrupted as we were shot by a Calif musketeer soldier the entire Roman legion army and Musket brigade retreated.

The battle started two hours after the Griffonian emperor, Grover the 1st, and the emperor of the west, Hiduras, signed an autonomous treaty with permitted the Griffonian government to take over with Hiduras being the head Emperor of the entire nation that is now the official Colony of the Griffonian Empire with that becoming benefits and downsides.

Hiduras loses control of natural resources which luckily he stockpiled his own before the takeover, he now has an entire continent-sized empire at his backing. He shares the newly made Musket technology in exchange for these magic-wielding ponies... After consulting his scientist they decided to.... Commit horrendous genocide and kidnapping operations on Unicorn pony populations for their essence...

And so the formation of the Decauplets was formed that would exist for years up for centuries...

Anyways as the first battle of the fields broke out, the first musket brigade retreated in an unorganized style as the attack was severely devastating. As the Griffonians and the Calif armies successfully take over the plain fields the remaining forces were in a retreat when a Griffon Lt. tried to kill the rest as he and his men were flying towards the soldiers the captain looked up.

"RUN DAMN YALL!" The Captain ordered as one soldier asked.

"WHAT ABOUT THOU CAPTAIN!"

"I'LL TAKE 'EM OUT MYSELF NOW HIE!" He shouted as he grabbed two huge ass Musket rifles and wielded a sword and aim the two muskets while shouting with the sword handle in his mouth.

"Join get some thou flying bird bitches!!!!" He shouted as he shot the two muskets while duel-wielding them, killing two of the griffons.

He then grabbed a sword from the dead griffon that he killed and charged at the horde of Griffon and Calif soldiers, killing one 1 Griffon and 2 Calif soldiers before he was killed by a Calif Musket soldier.

King Edwards stood on the port as a crowd waved to the visitors that accidentally arrived on the new continent. While this the king also sent the message to the ship that is stationed in Equestria, awaiting recall, to get Jack Smith back on board and ship out back to the continent as he had the entire mail service replaced as a courier service in wartime. Along with the newly formed musket districts that are in charge of both training and making Muskets for the Roman legions.

What's worse is when he heard the reports that Hiduras managed to make contact with the Griffonians...

"MY LIENAGE AND MAJESTY MA'AM AND SIR!! THE SOUTHERN LAKE HAD JUST BEEN ATTACKED BY THE CALIFORNIAN AND GRIFFONIA FORCES!" The Messenger reported which shocked Elizabeth and Edward when they looked at Norrington, and even he is surprised.

"He's not playing anymore... He's started his onslaught and we need to end it now." Norrington said.

"Maybe we should use the-"

"NO! WE WILL NOT CALL UPON THAT DAMMED STAFF CAPTAIN PILATE! We'll use strategy instead, Norrington, Elizabeth, get your troops rallied and prepared, and meet me here at Helie-ana!" He ordered as the two wrote their messages to their couriers, who were with them the whole time, and had them head to their commanders to rally the troops.

Celestia and Luna were in the throne room putting together the pieces of the discovery of a new species, sure the world to them was yet to be explored and this wasn't been the first time since they'd met new species, such as the Griffons, deers, Changelings, and Dragons.

The new species that they've come across should be no different and the two emphasized that to themselves silently, but something they should know about came in the form of a letter that spawned in front of Celestia in the recognizable hoof writing of Starswirl.

"It's Starswirl Luna!" Celestia smiled, as Luna poked her head above Celestia's mane only for the two to get slapped with a disturbing message...

"..."

The two sisters looked at each other with worry for a moment when a royal guard approached.

"Anything wrong thy Majesties?" The guard asked.

"Rally the fleet, me and my sister shall be joining jointly, we're going to The New World," ordered Celestia.

"It shall be done thy majesty."

Emperor Hiduras sat on his throne looking through the reports, all he saw was the word "Victory" and not a single defeat, except for the start of the war however, but this gambit that he had bet on with the Griffonians was now paying off.

However, it came to his surprise when a griffon ambassador entered his domain.

"I assume you've been sent by King Grover aren't you?" Hiduras asked.

"Indeed I was, and I have complicated news."

"...Inform me."

"The Equestrian Navy is en route to this continent according to our spies, we have reasons to believe that they're joining the war against you."

"... Well behead me now, DAMN YOU EDWARD LUTHER!"

King Edwards had been sitting on his throne as well, in front of him was the staff of his father which stood as the beacon that represented humanity's only magical entity, other than their minds which is more of a talent rather than magic.

Although when he sat there in thought about the things before he and any of his siblings were born, he could remember the time when his father and mother told him about the hardships they had gone through before dispelling the Windigo's off the continent, and when Edward, Hiduras, Elizabeth, and Norrington refuted to wield the staff because of it's effects on age Luther the wise made his prophecy stating.

"One day... A member from our family will take up the staff and use it once more, but for it to happen, everyone must be after that chosen one, and the chosen one, would be... Friended by many powerful friends. The Elements of Harmony..."

Those were the last words he had heard from his father before he died right there on that bed, ever since then it all went to shit from there, Hiduras left for the West, his Sister to the North, and Norrington is well... Just enjoying himself on a hot beach sipping his Pina colada on a Tuesday.

As for Edward, he remained the oldest Sibling and the one who had continued to rule his father's domain, Edward never believed in his father though and at times he would consider himself a stranger to his father's teachings.

Regardless though, there was now a war that was being fought. Between him and his Brother Hiduras, sure the Siblings did pledge support but it wouldn't really matter, because what awaited him would be his end.

But then he thought of what would happen if he was to die, who would preserve the Staff?

"Recall my messenger from the Pony lands, immediately." Edward requested to his second hand officer.

"With all due respect my lineage, but he's already on his way back here."

"Really? How?"

Jack Smith, the messenger of the King was enjoying himself on the ship that was also carrying Celestia and Luna, the trip is long though, but they are expected to-

"PRINCESS CELESTIA!" Shouted some sort of Pegasus, as the two princesses walked out of the ships cabin quickly.

"Mr. Cloud! What is it?" Celestia asked as the pegasus landed on his hooves huffing and puffing from the lack of air as he handed a scroll to the princess.

It was from Starswirl...

Now this was the part where humanity would discover and honor the Pillars for their sacrifice, you see as you may know by now it was the Pillars who had discovered the continent even though they were hunting down the Pony of Shadow's, well what happened is that after they had left Humarica the Pony of Shadow's was in Equestria the whole time, the problem this spelled for the pony's was that there was some miscommunication and was thought that the Pony of Shadows went into Griffonia instead.

But now that they had returned and found the beast once again, the scroll sent by Starswirl would end up being given to the humans by Celestia as a gift, surprisingly this would end up being sold for millions before being placed in a museum in 92 ALB. But the scroll says here:

The account from Jack Smith on that they was recorded on his own journal, being that the surroundings and the weather on that day was... Cold. And freezing to.

Unbenounced to him, the sisters were devastated on that day of the letter, but with a war ongoing at the time, Celestia, being the older sibling didn't cry, she kept her tears in while also embracing her littlest sister who cried on Celestia's chest.

For the rest of the day and then on for the rest of his life Jack would be restless and traumatized by the cries of young Luna who had witness a end of a era right infront of him...

But while the Pillars were now out of the match, the war was going on, you would expect things to get better for Edward's kingdom since the Equestrian army and navy were on their way.

Little do you people know, was that shit was about to get even worse...

And I mean, a lot worse...
