Fallen are the princesses
Gone is their will
Without their people's pretenses
A world shall fall still

Civilization in Equestria has collapsed without the guide of their princesses. A failure to heed the warnings of their leaders has resulted in anarchy being allowed to reign free. But, a select few ponies have seen a solution to their species' extinction. The Elements of Harmony have enough energy for one last spell, one that will bring the last citizens of a dying world to one quite unlike their own...

"I don't understand. Why have me be part of a war?"
"Because we couldn't find anyone else."
"I have some serious doubts about that..."

War is one of the few things that any sentient species comes to know at some point, and the ponies of Equestria are no exception. The Princesses have lost all hope in attempting to stave off an invasion, and have chosen to call upon the aid of a species whose own culture nearly revolves around war.

Now, an unwilling human has been dragged into this conflict, had his view of reality shattered, and to top it all off, has been asked to help organize a counter-strike against the army that drove the Equestrians from their home.

Maximus Cross will face his own trials and tribulations as he travels across the country to deal in the bane of his existence: politics. And this is only the beginning, as a war is brewing, and he has been thrust straight to its forefront...
