The Unicorn Golden Fyre, and his faithful Pegasus assistant Quick Sylver are two very special ponies. They both own and work a metalworking and design shop in Canterlot, and are responsible for producing new armor designs for the Royal guard. With the man who employed them now married to a Princess, they thought were out of a job, with the now Prince Shining Armor probably to busy to remember his old friends. It wasn't until they heard a knock on the door that they did anything productive in days. They each had received a notice from the Royal Guard Corp. They had been conscripted.
