The Pony-Griffon War, fought over by ponies and griffons, is now the bloodiest war in Equestria's history. The ponies, now being turned like a wheel struggles as they were being defeated from the south. With their defensive line, the Celestial Line, all hope of keeping Equestria as an independent nation is lost. But for the ponies, there is still hope, one being in the form of battle-hardened 'beasts'.
