Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria...

... harmony was supplanted by war and the magic of friendship that once suffused the land was pushed away by the magic of necromancy. However, all is not yet lost so long as somepony holds onto the old ideas.

Longshot is one such pony. A unicorn born to the Night Watch, a group sworn to stand against the dark of the endless night Equestria finds itself in, he grew up on stories of the old world virtues. Of heroes from the old world and the new who upheld them. He dreams of joining the ranks of such mighty heroes.

And then Night Watch died, leaving Longshot alone. Are virtues enough to keep away the madness? Longshot is about to find out for himself. Because war...

... war never changes. But ponies do, on the roads they walk.
