The Unicorn Wars: Equestria

by Constellation

Chapter 1: I Nova

I Nova the 3rd in my last days wright my side of the Unicorn Wars, when ponies talk of
them in the future they will speak of great battles fought with honor against a equal foe, if you
are stubborn and willingly blind to this and refuse to see it differently, stop reading now.

My account of the wars start two years after the first one started, when I became of age
to join the military, 18.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Identification papers,"The guard demanded as I stepped up to the recruiters table.

After a second of looking through my papers to make sure I was indeed 18, the guards eyes
came back to me.

"Son, are you absolutely sure you want to go through with this?"The old stallion asked.

"Yes sir,"I replied.

"OK, I cant turn anyone who wants to join away,"He said shaking his head."just sign
here,"

I quickly took the pen in my light blue magic and dipped it into the inkwell and signed the
open line.

"Congratulations Privet,"The recruiter said sarcastically."happy birthday, now listen
carefully, here's your orders, report to Captain Silver Sword at the recruitment camp in two
days just south of town, bring these paper to him, he will take you from there.

"Yes Sir,"I said, a huge grin sweeping across my face."thank you Sir."

"don't thank me yet."He mumbled as I turned around and went for the door, but I didn't
hear him, I was just to proud and exited, I wanted to do my duty for my country, and make
my father proud.

I came out onto the streets of my beautiful home town "Roam", a small town with some
scattered farms and a small square of shops in the center.

I took one long breath, the sweet sent of freshly baked loaves of bread filed the air, ponies
filled the streets all smiling and happy, even though an ocean away the war was waging, but
until the war was over and the "Earth Ponies" where safely contained and posed no threat,
would the Unicorn Empire rest.

Ever since the new Continent and the barbarians that live there where found the Unicorns
tried to bring civilization to the Earth Pony natives, but they wouldn't have it, they would
rather act like animals and through sticks at each other, the natives called the Unicorns
demons,and conquerors, but all we said we where was peace makers.

Standing there smelling the wonderful bread bake made me realize I was starving, my
mother would have made something special for my birth day, and I had to tell them the
good news about the military.

Like a lighting bolt I took off toward home, I ran past the mill, through the gate, up the hill,
past Mr, Steel Plow's small farm just out the main gate, after that all sign of civilization
vanished and became fields to the right, and woods to the left, I quickly came to the small
farm on on the edge of the most beautiful lake in the empire, slowing from sprint to a slow
trot, I opened the small wooden gate and entered the yard, at that moment the front door
opened and my older brother "Iron Hoe" came out and stopped, his huge form standing there
in the door for a second.

"Well, perfect timing,"He said finely braking the silents."Mom just sent me to get you."

"Come on,"I said bounding up the steps to the door."I've got to tell every pony something
important."

Me and my brother then continued into the house, making our way toward to kitchen,
where on coming in, I found Mother, Father, and my brother quickly joined them siting at the
table, then all eyes where on me.

"Well, I have good news,"I started."I have joined the military."I finished proudly.

At once my brothers eye brows shot up, a look of horror filled my mothers face, and my
father just put down his news paper to give me a unreadable look.

"Are you joking?"My brother asked a smile creeping onto his face.

"No, he's not,"My father said, he was always able to read my face."by the emperor's crown
boy what where you thinking."

"I, just wanted to serve,"I said confused at there reaction, at this mother started crying,"
like you did father."

"Son, I was drafted,"My father said.

"You have to go back,"My mother started."Tell them it was a mistake."

"Did you sign the acceptance form,"My father asked urgently."did you get orders."

"Yes I signed the acceptance form, and I have orders to report to Captain Silver Sword at
the recruitment camp."I answered.

"Then its to late,"my father said."He cant get out."

My mother started crying again, my brother just sat there, but my father stood up and
made his way over to me.

"Son, you should have come to us."my father said.

"But you always talked so highly about the army,"I said."I thought you would be proud."

"The reason I talk so high of the army is because I respect them for doing what they do,"
He said."and I am proud of you boy, I'm just worried about you."

"Don't be worried about me,"I started."I'm an adult now, and beside when I was leaving I
saw Maximus go into the recruiters office, I bet we will be stationed at the same place."

"Maximus, isn't he that little brown one?"My father asked as if me and him didn't hang out
every day since we where 7.

"Yes father Tiberius Blade, the little brown one."I said and after I finished speaking a
knock came at the door followed by a voice.

"Hello,"Maximus called."Nova, its Maximus, I have to tell you something."

After maximus announced that he to had joined the military he stayed for supper then
went home, after he left the evening chores where done then it was lights out, the night was
long, but the next two days where longer, chores seemed to take forever, the sun seemed
hotter, and every pony on the farm was quiet, Mother cried through the night, no pony talked at
the table, and when the big day came only shadows of the ponies I wanted to say goodbye
to where there, after goodbyes where over I started to make my way to town to meet with my
best friend maximus and head off to boot camp.
