just felt there was something missing, so I'm telling you how Frost ended up in Equestria.



Frost's memory 

    October 12, 2015
I was looking at an Afghan village that had been locked down by the Taliban through the scope of my TAC.50 . I loved this gun because of the sound and the range. "Sparrow 0-2 you are clear to engage hostiles......" came over the radio, then all was silent. It was eleven at night, and the insurgents were clearly visible with their lanterns illuminating their area to me.
     I loaded a magazine and pushed the bolt forward and took aim. I steadied my breath and brought down my heart rate. Then I squeezed the trigger, I watched as the round flew down toward the village and impacted the insurgent's torso, killing him instantly. I loaded another round into the chamber and shot another insurgent. I went on like this for two hours.
      I got up to leave when the insurgents located my position on the mountain. I ran to the extraction point to find the Taliban had killed my whole squad and the chopper pilot. One then hit me in the face with the butt of his rifle, knocking me out. I woke up in a cave, a blinding light and a camera in my face. A few men were shouting into the camera in Arabic, so I couldn't understand them. Then one walked over to me with a knife in his hand. He looked into the camera and cut my ear off! The men then began talking into the camera again. I was in intense pain while blood spurted out my head where my should have been. In all my years alive, I had never seen anything like this. Now I was experiencing it firsthand. Then the man with the knife came over and cut the end of my tongue off! This is going too far, I thought. I was trying not to scream. The men were obviously trying to get a point across using me. They brought a bottle of vodka over and poured it over my severed ear. I screamed in pain. Then they did the same with my tongue, then I passed out. When I woke up, the man with the knife immediately popped my left eye out of it's socket. I screamed once more before I was shot in the head.

When I woke up again, I was in a hospital. With bandages over my head. To my relief, I had both eyes and ears as well as my tongue. But my head was in intense pain. Just as I started to regain my senses, a nurse walked in I took a look at her and freaked out. "You're a horse!" I screamed. "Actually, I'm a pony, and so are you." she said kindly. I looked myself over and indeed, I was a pony. I'm going to get the princess, she wanted to talk to you when you got up!" she said cheerfully.
  
      Then a larger white pony with a horn and wings walked in. She was white and her hair blew in a non-existent wind.

"Hello, I am Princess Celestia. I have brought you here for a reason Frost." she said to me.

"Woah!  How did you know my name!?" I asked, startled.

"Because I brought you here to lead the army of Equestria against the griffon army."

"Alright. Sounds simple. When do I start?" I said.

"The thirty-first division is the only division we have. So you are their new commander." she told me.

"I need three combat squad mates to assist me in battle." I said.

"I already have three, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and my student, Twilight Sparkle." she told me.

"Alright. The division starts training tomorrow."  I said.

"Excellent." replied the princess.

That is how I got here...
