I really enjoyed the story but something's kind of confused me. Like the main villains motivation, yes it is pretty basic for a villain I want to take over the world in my people are better than your people. But her plan makes no real sense. He wants to use Twilight to somehow boost her army's strength but she needs twilight's assistance. I can only assume they're going to torture her to get what they want but that would not help them first. He would be weaker and then they would eventually have to take off her magic restraints in after that there's nothing stopping her from teleporting away. And now let's talk about the magical restraints this kind of threw me off as well. I can only make the assumption that whatever the ring did, it cut off all of her magic including her earth, pony strength and her ability to fly because Twilight was thrown through a mountain and then had a empowered tyric slammed into her and ran through that same mountain. So a couple of soldiers with blades probably would not do as much damage but cause some injury but she could have escaped or flown away. I guess my last question is power balance. It seems like humans are better Marshall fighters and weapon users versus ponies magic use. And I guess signing armor is supposed to be more of a hot head in this, but instead of engaging humans in the hand, the hand combat which I assume he knows that humans are better at. He could have this used his magic and put up a barrier. But I guess you can stay in foresight. Anyone can do that. Any unicorn?
11449401 Thank you for your comment, I have no problem explaining what plans I have for the future installments. First I did power crept the magic just a little bit. Shining Armor being the Prince of the Crystal Empire (Essentially being the magic capital of the world) He would most definately take out a small army by himself using magic alone. Yes, the ring is cutting off all forms of magic for Twilight including flight and earth pony strength. Twilight would be able to decimate the humans if she was at full strength, hence why the human Princess had to play nice to get the ring on her befre she could reveal her motive. Her motive though cliche has to do with her backstory that I have planned for her, but I mostly want to keep it as a secret untill then because it plays a bigger part of the story later on after I release a few more chapters. Also her motive for the magic just boils down to human ignorance at this point. in my story the humans have forcefully kept themselves Isolated, but not being magical creatures themselvs they know next to nothing about magic. So her "Torture Methods" Are just a way for Twilight to reveal more info about Magic so that she gets a clearer understanding of what it even is. Like I said though i don't want to reveal too much because it will all become more relevant soon.
11449517 I see now. If there's more to be seen, I don't see the ponies winning against humans in the street fight even with alicorn magic. If this is the time. I think it is in things like long range weapons exist or gunpowder with their limited knowledge but still be able to have magical supplies or weapons to fight back against the ponies with not end well. The knowledge they had to restrain twilight's magic and the ability to seemingly craft magic items with both sides. Not really both sides. It seems like humans know a little more about ponies than ponies know about humans so with a slight advantage on the other side, seems like this is going to be one hell of a story.

P.S. I forgot to put in Caribou. But hopefully, it's better that they won't be in this story. For obvious reasons.
Something tells me that the human princess (forgot her name) is a crazy b*tch.

I don't want to sound like a jerk but you spelled changelings wrong in the bio of the story 'Changlongs'
