Luna stood before the solar throne, surrounded by council ponies and scribes. "As you may be aware, the magical balance in Equestria shifted after Discord's release. While we have managed to... befriend the lord of chaos, the ramifications of his excursions, however short, have caused ancient seals to weaken, and primal beasts to awaken." She gestures out the window. "Monsters, long thought extinct, now threaten our ponies. Lagombi and Khezu have been spotted in the north. Kecha Wacha have begun harassing farmers and traders. But the most recent sighting is why we are gathered here today. The Gryphon Sandship, "Highwind," has been destroyed by Da'rhen Moran. If this continues, I fear we may once again find ourselves fighting Lao-Shan Lung, and you and I both remember the costs of that fight. It was why we took great pains in sealing the monsters away, after all." All around her, the council ponies began murmuring fearfully. "It is with these factors in mind, that I propose we reinstate the Monster Hunter's Guild as a specialized armed forces against the creatures that now threaten our very way of life."
