Lieutenant Eli Silver was on a simple mission. He and his fellow teammates would check out an anomaly that had already claimed three teams of Marines in the past. What he didn't expect was a whole new world to open up before him, one that he knows and loves but doesn't know how to cope in.

In Equestria, the griffons declared war five years after the defeat of King Sombra. Now the battle's still rage on. Princess Celestia is gone, leaving Luna and Cadence alone. The Elements of Harmony have disappeared as well leaving the once peaceful population to cope and adapt to survive and fight in a bloody struggle. Will an unexpected help that literally fell out of nowhere save their lives, or will they lose to the crushing force of the griffons?

Note: This is my first HiE story, and while I have said before I dislike HiE stories, after reading several of them I decided to give it a go. So here it is, a bloody war story. I hope you all enjoy.
