Author's Note

This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic ever, so any comments, suggestions, and/or constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.
I also realize that this "chapter" is painfully short, but it's only meant to be a very brief prologue.

The Prologue

Throughout Equestria history there has been many a skirmish with the Changeling race. Most of these conflicts were so brief and insignificant that there is not a textbook in the world that mentions them. A hooful of invasions, however, had enough of a degree of success to be mentioned in the history books, such as the set of clashes now known as the Founding Battles, which took place shortly after Equestria was founded by the three pony tribes. Even though the Changelings have made a very valiant effort to capture Equestria, every single one of their invasions have failed, including the Invasion of the South, during which this story takes place.
