Countless years have passed since the bearers of the Elements of Harmony left this world, and chaos has taken over Equestria in the form of the The Crucible- an annual deathmatch where might is the only thing that matters. The Crucible’s brutality is enough to instill fear in those who find it too barbaric, preventing them from doing a thing about it. To make matters worse, neither of the Princesses can do anything about it, as the power that instated it surpasses their own.

The only hope lies within a legend ‘Defeat the champion of The Crucible, get a wish granted’. This legend is almost forgotten, and those who do know are too scared to act. Having grown weary of such incompetence, Swift Research of The Royal Guard has chosen to fight in The Crucible, perfectly willing to throw his life away for the land he believes in.

(Notes: Swift Research was the name of my OC BEFORE I joined Fimfiction.net. This is not a self insert, as I derived my name from my OC's name.

Also, I MIGHT put a clop-chapter in as a bonus)
