Prologue

Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, the land was plagued with chaos and disharmony. The draconequus, Discord, was placing the ponies, Earth ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi alike in utter misery. Only a brave few tried to defeat him, but failed. Near the end of Discord’s rule, two sisters, a young white alicorn with a flowing pink cotton candy colored mane and tail, and a slightly younger dark blue alicorn with a flowing plasma like mane and tail that twinkled like the night sky, confronted him, demanding him to release the citizens of Equestria from his torture or face justice. He burst with laughter at the two alicorn sisters who seemed no threat to him, pulling silly jokes on them until sisters had enough of his ridiculous antics. They pulled out 6 gems from their saddle bags which began to glow brightly and shoot rainbow-colored rays, missing Discord several times as he danced around laughing in the air. The sisters finally struck him mid-laughter, encasing him in stone seemingly forever. Only if the sisters had known of the victim one of the stray rays had struck and their fate.

On the other side of Discord’s throne, beyond the field where the sisters confronted him, an army was approaching. A small army of ponies of all kinds marched on to defeat Discord themselves. There were several generals, but the real heroine of this army was a commander by the name of Hoodwink Swordplay. Hoodwink was a young mare with a long brown mane that flowed in the breeze and a glossy deep violet coat that shined in the light. She was petite for a soldier but despite her small stature, she made up for it in skills and capability. She was a personal guard of the unicorn king and was perceived as a very honorable warrior. She was an all around good soldier, living to serve for the good of ponykind. She was not always like that though.
