"Nothing can be achieved if you are not prepared to sacrifice something of equal value. This is the base of all alchemy, so in accordance with this law living transmutation is strictly forbidden - for nothing could equal the value of a living soul."

This is reality, and all those that do not adhere with these warnings must pay a steep price. 10 years ago, an alchemical accident occurred within the Griffon Empire that left it without its Prince, who disappeared into the desert with only the bag behind his back and without a single word of his destination. Rumors have spread far and wide about this mysterious alchemist after he fled his homeland, a drunken fool by some and a ruthless killer by others. There is one thing for certain as the desert merchants have all said - "for he is the wandering spirit with the bronze wings on his back"

Such rumours never interested Firefly; the famous "Concord Flame" of Bardingburgh: the great Desert Empire north of Equestria, until she gets word said Alchemist has appeared in her capital stirring up trouble, with a troublesome beak to boot. It only annoys her more to end up escorting the deranged Prince under orders, a job easier said than done. For everything in the shadows want him dead, whether it's a monster of the present or a relic of the past, something about this 'Prince of Alchemists' is more than she could have ever imagined.

A story of entwined fate and broken promises to be fulfilled.


Characters and settings taken from Equestria Prevails go support his works because he is a splendid artist and I can't stop writing about his artwork. Alchemical abilities and laws are taken from Full Metal Alchemist by Hiromu Arakawa. This story is not a crossover, except for a few minor references.

"Our nations have always been at each other's throat, and now their guns close in on Canterlot with the intent of complete annihilation. You have but one choice: kill - or be killed."

Set a hundred years ago at the dawn of the Equestrian Industrial age, the factories and steelworks began to drive a new era of prosperity for its citizens and the comfort of mechanization made all relish in the illusion of peace. At the height of the boom, that peace was shattered by the blazing guns of the mighty Griffon Empire as they waged war against the Equestrian mainland, conquerors seemingly invincible that held Equestria on its last thread of resistance. When young Florizel Goldenclaw; a journalist from the Griffon Empire, is shipped to the front lines to record history and heroics, he discovers a war with a greater purpose than to secure victory. Driven by the guilt of his own doing, he sets off on his wings to discover the truth behind the propoganda, to face an enemy he would have never seen coming.

Oh my friend behold this victory, this is our first gloria
Oh my friend rejoice as we prepare, the next battle is now.
No longer will our sacrifice be for nothing,We will fight to be free! Fight till the last!
Fight we class with forces barbaric and colossal we will attack'em
Fight in the name of Gloria, singing our victory
Flying on the wings of freedom we bear
Vows etched upon our very soul,we will not faulter here
We cut through the madness and Fly high. We soar into the blue on the wings of Freedom
