Millennia.
Equestria had known peace for a Millennia. Since the beginning of time immemorable, from when The Alicorn Sisters took the throne in the Cradle of Ponykind, they vowed this to be their goal: A Millenial Peace. Ponies have been taught to practice Harmony and to respect the land and the creatures they coexist with. This tradition gives birth to the Tree of Harmony, and their respective Elements. And thus Equestria was truly born as a nation, the haven of Ponykind.
As time passes, Princess Twilight and her companions embody their respective Elements. The Element Bearers have maintained Peace across Equestria through the tenets of Harmonious Friendship. Their ideas shaped Equestria to be a modern utopia in the future. For the longest anypony could remember, life was good.
Despite this—or perhaps, because of this—dark clouds billow over the horizon.
In the Summer of 1011—nearly a decade after Chrysalis failed in Canterlot—the Changeling Hegemony announced that a state of war would exist between them and Equestria from here on out.
For the first time in a millennia, Equestria was at war.
From that moment forward, innocence would forever be lost as a casualty to a grand conflict of attrition and devastation. One that shaped the nation, and indeed the world, into the callous reality it became today. For centuries to come.
... But this is not Equestria's story, nor is this a story about the heroes of it.
Two Pegasi will delve into madness. They will recall the events of 'The Great War,' to unravel a sinister plot years in the making—one that threatens to destroy everything they fought and sacrificed to protect. They will embark on a journey to challenge everything they knew and destroy whatever peace they had earned.
They will make friends as well as enemies.
They will overcome daunting trials and pyrrhic triumphs.
They will change the world.
Good story so far! Just the over-abundance of random caps that are a bit bothersome, but the story's interesting and I'll keep and eye out for future updates.
Also, might not seem like a big deal but don't forget to put a space between your three dots and the next word, otherwise it'll only be counted as one word instead of two.
Also, the ponies in the cover art are actually Nestor Lunin of Stalliongrad and his waifu (maybe?), so that might confuse a few, but eh, doesn't matter. Thumbs up!

Neat! Never Realized the two mares actually had names before I requested the artwork for the cover from the artist. But, eh, I suppose it's just small things.
As for your kind criticism, I am constantly improving, so I promise future chapters will be improved. and I also hope to edit a few parts of some of these chapters along the way, to smooth over the rough edges., so thank you for the advice.
And finally, thank you for checking out the story. it is appreciated!
Very good chapter, can't wait for the next

An awsome chapter! Totally worth the long wait! I'm sorry for being a little inpatient, but I think it's normal to worry about the things you like.😅
I'm looking forward to see the war from Sunshine's perspective now.
But do not try to rush anything, as you said: art cannot be rushed.

I honestly don't know...
I remember thinking at the time that I wanted to properly convey what a full-on battle would feel like from the POV of a foot grunt if they were in something as hectic as what they were in:
An enduring confrontation, with a seemingly endless series of skirmishes to follow suit. Where it is fatiguing and grueling and time-consuming to experience it.
In hindsight, it was a poor decision to have the reader kind of suffer along with it. I am definitely thinking on revising that chapter somehow...

I decided to do a reference to the "Bone Comics" instead.God damn.
When glowies come to your house and threaten to arrest you on no grounds at all, you better shut your door and yell at your neighbors to yell at their neighbors and bring their phones and friends and lawyers. Getting in the car with bad types never ends well. That shit is just straight KGB flashbacks.
No. "Lawyer." That's the only thing you say. " "Lawyer." And nothing else. Over and over.
