The war in Equestria reaches the start of its third year.

The city of Canterlot is besieged.

There are many stories of the War in Equestria—tales of Courage and Hate, Life and Death, Love and Loss. But none of those stories ever truly grasped the reins in Equestria. And none of them captured the desperation in Canterlot.

This story follows three characters: A Changeling Soldier, fighting not for his queen but for his life; A Pilot for Equestria, who flew and fought to defend his only home and his way of life; and an Earth Pony Farmer, who found himself trapped in a besieged city, struggling to survive in a warzone.

This is a war story. There are no Happy Endings.

This story is for the Equestria at War 2nd Writing Contest. All rights of the EAW universe goes to the respected developers.
