Sunrise, Equestria-Griffin Border..

POV- 3rd Person

In the great empty fields that span the great border between Equestria and the Griffin Kingdoms lies a large fort, That appears to be well made and engineered, yet no roads lead to it. And the local forests are uncut. Any passerbys would question how the fort was built without using the local wood. Only that that this fort is not of Equis. Inside the fort lies not Griffin soldiers, or pony guards, But human Legionnaires, Clad in Red tunics and Chainmail armor. The fort being made of Stone and wood, Sitting on a hill beside a cliff that drops off into ocean, and with a large forest to its west and south. With a river to the northwest coming out of the forest, and the ocean to its north and east. The fort seems in a strangely perfect position. Seemingly built to protect one side of the border were it built by griffins or ponies. Yet it is not, For Inside lies thousands of humans, most clad in mail, some in plate, some in simple tunics, some half dressed but all of them unconscious. Swords, shields, javelins, bows, arrows, and spears strewn about haphazardly as the Humans all seem to have fallen unconscious so suddenly.

A Few minutes of eerie quiet after the fort suddenly appear in the land, the first legionnaires wake up. Slowly and sluggishly they get up and observe that everybody else around them is on the ground. Many get up quicker expecting this to be an attack only to realize everyone is just asleep and go about waking their comrades up.

POV- 1st Person- General Varian

I groan as I slowly wake up from unconsciousness to the feeling of a hand shaking my shoulder. My mind is still foggy from sleep and I attempt to brush the hand away, only for it to resume its efforts to waken me. Begrudgingly and slightly annoyed I lift my head and open my eyes only to see I appear to have fallen asleep at my desk. Unusual for myself yet things happen. Noticing the Centurion beside me has been the one to shake my shoulder my hearing returns to hear what has been saying.

"-has been found unconscious and I was one of the first to-"

"Wait stop for a moment.." I state rubbing my temples as I stand up and stretch, having fallen asleep in my armor left me with a crick in my back. "Repeat what you were saying from the top, something about somebody going unconscious?"

"Yes sir, uh everybody has apparently fallen unconscious for an unknown amount of time. I have been one of the first to awaken and I came here after waking a few legionnaires to assist the others to tell you of this and awaken you if it proved necessary which it did sir."

"Everybody? What caused this?" I state out loud not expecting the centurion to know this.

"I know not Sir-" The Centurion was interrupted by another Centurion, Wearing the auxiliary commander armor, bursts into the room out of breath.

"Sir we have a problem!" The out of breath Auxiliary commander yells out. "We are not on the Rhine! We are near an ocean!"

"Im sorry, but i must have heard you wrong, did you say an ocean?!" I say out loud, thinking this man must be crazy or have eaten one of those mushroom that make you see things i've heard about.

"Aye, an ocean. Not just a large River, an actual ocean! I have some men sent out to scout the local area and from what I saw myself from the walls we are not where we are supposed to be."

I grab my helmet and attach it to my side as I make sure my sword is accompanying me before heading outside my room. Immediately seeing a plethora of men strewn about, most waking up and helping others, but many are still on the ground. Some Legionnaires go around gathering equipment that is strewn about much like the men, and others are running around attempting to catch rogue horses that got loose.

As I look around I know I cannot let this chaos continue. I clear my throat before yelling out. "Attention! All Centurions report in front of my quarters immediately! Wake up any unconscious ones and send them here!"

Suddenly every Soldier in the area stop and turn to me still brings a small smile to my face. They quickly rush back to doing what they were doing before, as well as passing on the command. as I see centurions rushing over quickly. I go back into my room with the other two still inside and bring them outside with the rest of the gathering commanders. After a minute or two the few remaining Centurions have finally arrives.

"Alright as some of you may have heard we are not at the Rhine River, and are on a cliff next to an ocean. Now we dont know where we are or how we all got here. Much less so why we were all unconscious. We need information and we need to get the fortress back in order. Those of you who lead the cavalry I want every able bodied horse and rider to scout out the surrounding area and map it as well as you can. If you find any settlements be weary, tell your cavalry to mark it on their maps and return here. Do not let them be seen by locals, we dont know if we are still in Gaul, Britannia, or Germania. for all we know we could be in India. Now go!" I point to the gates, causing the cavalry auxiliary Centurions to nod and rush off to deliver orders.

"Now the rest of you, Get your men under control, wake up EVERYBODY, and get stocks of food, weapons, arrows, everything. I want a detailed list of everything that might be useful down, every soldier, every sword, The tents and even logs of firewood. Who knows how long we will be here without supplies. Make sure to get every Legionnaire and Auxiliary soldier back to their respective groups first. once we have everything accounted for we can focus on other things. Now go!" I watch the rest of the Centurions rush off and start barking orders over the sound of horses rushing out of the gate, glad that the cavalry were already off.

POV- 1st Person- Baroness Black Ink

17 Kilometers South of Roman Fort- Barony of Hoofdale, Town of Hoofton

"Ah yes My Fief given to me by my father. Being the youngest of three foals my older two sisters obviously got the biggest slices of the pie. My oldest Sister got the massive Tracts of land next to Canterlot mountain. With rich fields and Tens of Thousands thousands of ponies to rule over, not to mention the hundreds of Humans she now owns. My second eldest obviously got a command position in the Royal Guard itself, Leading in one of the prestigious golden platoons. And me? I Was lucky enough to get myself a barony. I Remember when my father told me he was giving me this fief for me to govern instead of simply casting me out like many Noble families do with all the youngest after their second. Oh how naive i was, How elated i was that I packed up all my belongings and traveled here Before that day ended. And what do i arrive to? A Podunk barony at the frontier of the Equestrian border with barely two villages and a small town to call my own to govern! Not even a proper town! No great castle like my sister is staying in, sipping wine and eating with the most esteemed of Canterlot elite, but a dirt hill with wooden buildings and walls! Like i am some Wanna be peasant lady who built a motte and bailey. There aren't even any Human servants in this castle, And only two guards at the entrance!" I Rant to the town mayor, who's town my pitiful excuse of a castle is located inside of to govern my tiny fief.

"Uhh miss wouldn't be best for you to think of this as a challenge? Your father testing you to see if you are worthy to inherit more prestigious lands? hehe.." The seemingly nervous Mayor states simply trying to calm his angry superior, hoping to end this quickly so he can go back to the festival in town.

I stop pacing around the room as he finishes his sentence. "Of course! he wants to test me to see that I am not just some third sibling to my sisters, that i am equal or greater to them! But obviously he couldn't just give me all the land like he wanted due to me being a third foal, no noble family would allow that! It all makes sense now! This is a way for me to prove I am the better sibling! of course! You are right mayor Parchment!" I rush up to the mayor and give him a firm hug, only to back away and wipe myself after realizing i just hug a simple common pony. "Never mention that to anypony!" i hiss out.

"Y-yes my lady! I-If you'll excuse me i need to um.. Manage the town while you settle in.." I watch as the mayor quickly excuses himself and rushes out of the 'castle'.

Turning a back to my 'throne room' which is simply and old stone throne that is crumbling and full of cracks. I Grumble to myself as I walk past it and into the back rooms to look at the kitchen, only to find a kitchen big enough for maybe two ponies. Everything covered in dust as if it hasn't been used in a decade which it might actually have not been used in that long. Rushing past the dirty dusty kitchen and into my bedroom, Only to find out that the entire room looked pitifially small. A SINGLE wardrobe in the room and a bed half the size of the one in my fathers estate! Lifting up the blankets creates a large cloud of dust causing me to cough uncontrollably until I open a window to let air in. Wishing i had brought my own human slaves to clean the castle. Instead ill have to buy or Rent some from any local sellers.

"This place is dustier than the attic in my fathers room! Im going to need to Buy some Humans to clean it out. Speaking of buying I must find the treasury. Cant buy humans or improve this poor excuse for a castle without some bits." I say to myself as I trot out of my home at the top of the dirt hill and walk to the nearest Pair of Guards outside the wooden paliside guarding the small drawbridge.

"You Guard! Bring me to the treasury and fetch the mayor, and tax collector." I order the guard. only for him to chuckle. "Whats so funny?"

They continue to chuckle much to my growing annoyance. "We aren't guards were just the local militia who drew the short straw and had to be here for your arrival."

I stood there in shock. Barely comprehending this information the lowly pony just told me. I didn't even have any GUARDS! Just simple idiotic militia ponies to defend me! What and insult this! I begin to get furious before calming myself down. Thinking to myself that if i can succeed with only militia it will show my father i am even greater than if i had my own guards. Wiping my frown and smiling slightly causing the two Ponies to look at each other in confusion as to my sudden mood change.

"Well this challenge got just a little bit harder. Take me to the treasury, then we go to the market.."

30 Minutes Later...

17 Miles North. Roman Fort.

POV- 3rd Person

The chaos of the first few minutes of everybody waking up was slowly subsiding. With the commanders help the camp quickly organized back into orderly function. With most legionnaires finished gathering their strewn about equipment and simply sitting around, cleaning their oval shields, sharpening their spatha swords, cleaning their mail armor, talking to their comrades, or simply walking outside the fort to look at the new landscape. With most conversations being about the sudden shift in scenery and how this could have happened.

Meanwhile a cavalry captain rides slowly through the forest south of the camp. Leading a band of cavalry, following the coast in order to not get lost. The Equites Captain watches a man next to him sketch any nearby landmakrs on his makeshift map. Slowing the horse he is riding on to draw some more detailed points.

"I do not understand how you mapmakers can draw such accurate maps so easily. All i see are trees, grass, and an ocean." A Random soldier states.

"Its not just the landmarks. Landmarks are useless if you dont know the distance, which is why I keep track of my horse's speed. For a relative distance measurement. While not accurate enough for any good map, for a rough sketch it will do just fine." The mapmaker states, without even looking up from the paper.

"Huh I wouldn't have thought of it that way."

A Few minutes pass with only minor conversation and the noise of the forest. Some soldiers swear they can see the wildlife staring at them as if telling them with their eyes not to go the direction they are heading. They quickly ignore these feelings, thinking that they are just wildlife. Eventually though one man spots a clearing up ahead and signals the rest to slow down in order to not be seen.

"Alright everybody dismount, You keep our horses here. The rest of us walk to the tree line and hope we see a city or village." The Captain states as he climbs off his horse along with most of his men and the mapmaker. And slowly walk to the tree line. Covering his eyes from the sun in order to see better. Only to see a vast array of farm land next to a small village on the river further inland. And what appears to be a road leading away from the village further south.

"Perfect a village. Let us report back to the General about this. No use in letting our presence be known now." The captain states while walking back to their horses.

Meanwhile on a cloud above the scouting party lies a pair of Pegasi, who have been following the Roman scouts for the past few minutes. Seeing the Humans in strange armor riding on top of some very tall pony ride off, they quickly fly back to the village intent on warning them about the human rebels in armor nearby...

Author's Note
