The Siege of Canterlot

by Lil Penpusher
5 years ago Chrysalis returned. 5 years ago Thorax was overthrown and Chrysalis crowned Queen once more. 5 years ago Equestria marched to war. And now, after 5 years of gruesome and bitter fighting, their enemy stands at the gates of Canterlot.

5 years ago...Chrysalis and her followers returned from exile.

5 years ago...Thorax was overthrown, personally executed by Chrysalis.

5 years ago...Chrysalis crowned herself Queen of the Changelings once more.

5 years ago...The world changed.


What we thought to be a small skirmish against Chrysalis had turned into a full-scale war. We won the first battles and skirmishes against the Changeling army but...they began to adopt new strategies, began to...outsmart us.

Our Generals were clueless. Unprepared. The changelings had lulled us into a false state of security, lead us into a trap. And when our troops, our main force, lifted their heads they saw that the sky had turned pitch black. Moments later, a tide of changelings descended upon them.

And now, after 5 years of fighting, Equestria is at its darkest hour. As Chrysalis’ troops move closer to Canterlot, it is clear that the following Siege will decide everything:

Will we prevail? Or will we succumb to the endless waves of enemies?
