Twilight Sparkle, Element of Magic, Hero of Equestria and first casualty in the Changeling war. When she passed she became the rallying cry for the Equestrians in the short lived war. When Chrysalis attempts a surprise attack on Canterlot a mysterious figure in armor appears and slays Chrysalis in front of the princesses. Now it's time they learn that anyone can change.

For better or worse.

Big thanks to Nightcloak for the huge help in editing this train wreck of a story.

Thank you to everyone who has read this. I never thought this would happen and am honored beyond words.

NOTICE
This story is receiving a rewrite. I was never satisfied with this story because at the time of writing it I didn't have the skills to write the story I wanted and I also cut massive chunks of it out leaving a lot of plot holes and questions as to where some characters were and even what was going on at some points in the story itself. The rewrite is intended to add back all my cut content and further expand the story to make it a much longer but far more cohesive story for the readers enjoyment.
