(New chapters ever Saturday at around 6:00pm EST because MattReverse is a busy pone.)

Every Hearth's Warming Eve, we remember Clover the Clever and her friends, who ignited the Flame of Friendship and founded Equestria.
But before that, each of the pony races had their own kingdoms, and each kingdom had their own politics. Their own agendas.

The story that follows is about a single pegasus, who has just recently lost everything. So he embarks on a treacherous adventure to get it back together.
But he will learn that life does not travel backwards.

"No, Sombra. You don't have everything. Rather, you have nothing...nothing but grains of ashes of the creatures you've slaughtered, directly or indirectly. You say having absolute power is all? Well I say that's bullshit. Strength is only a matter of choice. Fighting like hell to protect whatever it is you hold dear. You possess nothing of that sort. That is why you also have no real strength. And that is also why...your demise is inevitable, no matter how you look at it. Perhaps, that is your reason for still fighting. Your reason for declaring destruction upon existence itself. The one who rules with fear, is always plagued by it."

A retelling of my first (failed) attempt at a Canterlot Wedding AU known as Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, this new story combines the narrative and thematic elements of The Power of the Equinox by Shaded Blood, The Forgotten and Exiled by Slice141, and The Twilight Citadel by Pyrestrike. The main story is akin to The Magnificent Seven (1960), while the sense of scope is reminiscent of Star Wars (1977) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962).

When Twilight is banished from the wedding, she discovers an even bigger threat approaching on the horizon known only as The Storm King. Because her friends and family don't believe it her in the slightest, she decides to unite an alliance to fight the threat before it even arrives. However, they are eventually forced to travel beyond Equestria in search of aid. So, A Canterlot Wedding Meets My Little Pony: The Movie (2017).

The central cast is listed below:
― "The Team":
• Twilight Sparkle (voiced by Tara Strong): The leader of the group, Twilight Sparkle is the (former) apprentice of Princess Celestia who attempts to save Equestria from the forces of evil.
• Sunset Shimmer (voiced by Rebecca Shoichet): The second-in-command, Sunset Shimmer is the first (former) apprentice of Princess Celestia who is forced to assist her former master's current apprentice save the world.
• Starlight Glimmer (voiced by Kelly Sheridan): A pony who strives for conformity over individualism, Starlight Glimmer decides to help Twilight in hopes of stealing her cutie mark.
• Trixie Lulamoon (voiced by Kathleen Barr): A street magician whose tricks may seem more cunning than they appear, Trixie seeks fame and joins Twilight's team in order to do so. Of course, fate is a harsh mistress; when she meets Starlight, she must chose fame...or friendship.
• Photo Finish (voiced by Tabitha St. Germain): A famous photographer from Manehattan,
Photo Finish, much like Trixie before her, seeks to elevate her fame, but she soon gets more than she bargained for.
• Lightning Dust (voiced by Britt Irvin): An aspiring Wonderbolt with a penchant for competition and recklessness, Lightning Dust seeks not only to send her fame skyrocketing, but to become the strongest pony of them all. Of course, this proves easier said than done.
• Apple Cobbler (voiced by Ashleigh Ball): A baker and former cater for the wedding reception alongside Applejack, Apple Cobbler is the only pony who genuinely accepts Twilight's call for help.
― "The Supporting Cast":
• Tempest Shadow (voiced by Emily Blunt): The loyal and fierce henchman to the Storm King, Tempest Shadow stands beside and serves him in the hopes of repairing her broken horn.
• Grubber (voiced by Michael Peña): A wisecracking hedgehog-like creature, Grubber serves as the cohort of Tempest Shadow, bowing to her every whim.
• The Storm King (voiced by Liev Schreiber): The absolutist, satyr-like creature who can control the weather with his staff, The Storm King is not the main antagonist of the story, but instead the Greater Scope Villain of the saga.
• Dusk Shine (voiced by Tom Holland): A young unicorn who is mysteriously granted with Pegasus wings, Dusk Shine is a crew member of Captain Celaeno after his family disowns him.
• Dawn Cracker (voiced by Olivia Holt): A young unicorn who is a big fan of Twilight Sparkle, Dawn Cracker bears an uncanny resemblance to her idol and is more than happy when she requests her assistance on saving the world.
• Captain Colleen Celaeno (voiced by Karen Gillan): A humanoid parrot and the apathetic captain of a band of pirate misfits, Captain Colleen Celaeno may be much more jaded than her older sister Cataleya...explaining her refusal to help Twilight Sparkle at first glance.
• Catrina (voiced by Judy Greer): An anthropomorphic alley cat and cunning yet goodhearted con artist, Catrina has trouble stepping away from her criminal influence. She partially (and we mean mostly) blames her problem on her former flame Nick.

Yes, some of the characters from the movie don't actually appear, but they are mentioned and will in later installments. Also, fair warning: some of the characters may use firearms.

In ancient times the land was once laid in forests. Ages ago mythical beings of great size inhabited and ruled over it. Back then, those beings lived peacefully with the slowly emerging pony race. But as time passed by, the pony race started to expand over the land.

Many forests have been destroyed in the process of this expansion. This act enraged the mythical creatures and friendship was replaced by hostility.

To end the hostility Princess Celestia created a great wall that seperated the "Undiscovered West" from Equestria. It all happened before the banishment of her sister Princess Luna.

But after a millenium of peaceful silence... a message reaches Canterlot about a crack in the wall. The curiosity of the small filly called Fray Leaf will lead her into the "Unexplored West" where she will meet a most unusual friend.

She was in the gig economy. She was also a little pony. Her people needed her, inspired to motion and action. That meant her life was getting a lot busier on the pony side of things. Her human life proved to be... understanding, or so she hoped.

Done for a patron, with a planned two updates a month!

The Empire is under attack from within, and Princess Emerald needs to escape, even if it means leaving everything behind for a while. Even if it means losing those she loves most.
