Alexander, a young naive archaeologist, has gone to southern Equestria in search of ancient artifacts. Little did she know that her search would yield an unexpected discovery that would forever change the course of history, and would unleash evils that were sealed for eons.

It has been 10 years after Tirek was defeated. Twilight and the Elements of Harmony have vanished, as well as the Pillars. Equestria remained in peace for 3 years, until a small group of villages on the southern and western borders began to rebel against Celestia’s rule, and began to protest magic. This was brought to Celestia’s attention when these villages began a mass genocide of unicorns. Over the next several years, the Royal Army fought against these villages, attempting to maintain order amidst the chaos. This is the story of one such soldier, and the regret he held afterwards.
