In Equestria's neighbor, Afghenighnistan, a war rages. A deadly war, a quiet war, a dirty war, a war fought between the Equestria-backed government and its own citizens. A band of rebels plays a deadly game of cat and mouse against the soldiers sent to hunt them down. The commander of the soldiers, Commander Shining Armor, is a legend in the Royal Guard. His unique position, between the princesses in power and their boots on the ground, given him a unique perspective on a war which only worsens the harder they try to end it. This is a poem telling of a clandestine caravan carrying supplies for the insurgency in Afghneighnistan, the rangers sent to hunt them, the commander of the rangers, the princesses of Equestria, their lands and peoples, and how they all fit together.
