The world is full of legends of ponies facing great evils or overcoming impossible odds in the name of good.
These legends live on forever in history.
This however is a legend that was overshadowed by the events surrounding it and lives on not in the history books, but as a simply story ponies tell each other around a campfire or over a mug of cider.
While much of the story has changed over the centuries the core of this legend has remained the same.
This is the legend of Lieutenant Raven Sheild and how on the night of Nightmare Moon's rebellion, she and a small band of soldiers stood in the path of a mad alicorn.
