Civil War Equestria

War...

Equestria has never seen the like. Until today. Blood, on every field from Canterlot to Trottingham.  Equestria will never be the same.

It started with a will. Not just any will though, the will of Princess Luna. It stated where all her belongings would go. Except, her most valuable possession, the throne of Equestria. Now that she was dead there had to be a ruler, but who? The obvious answer was one of the princes or princesses. The eldest one was thereby the choice but there was one issue, he wasn’t an alicorn. He wasn’t even a powerful unicorn. He was Blueblood.

However, others argued he was inadequate saying that the obvious choice was the most powerful alicorn ever, Cadance. The argument raged on people choosing sides. Large demonstrations. There was talk of an election, but both sides thought the other would cheat, the anger grew. Then,l one pony fired a shot and it began, violent riots and skirmishes at first until an official civil war began.

Now we stand here today, weapons raised against one another. Nothing is sure from now on other than that nothing can ever be the same.

Its amazing really, 600 years of technology since Cadance was married and all of it is being used to fight. Airplanes designed to carry earth ponies and unicorns to Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus are now being used to destroy those same cities. The technology behind magic driven carts and plows, originally for farming use is now being used in tanks to burn towns and farms. I wonder what the inventor of these technologies would think, Twilight Sparkle would never have killed a pony. Though, I doubt she will ever know.

Some think that if the Elements of Harmony were still alive this wouldn’t have happened, but I doubt that. The battle for the throne has turned even the kindest of ponies into monsters. This war will change everyone and everything. By the end will we even be ponies anymore. But, I will not live to see that, for these are the last thoughts of a dying soldier.
