Ace in the Hole

by jaysnotreal
Three Guild ponies become embroiled in a civil war.

Surefire, just your usual guild pony, gets embroiled in a civil war that takes over his own kingdom of Bastion. Along the way he makes friends with another earth pony named Pearl and a pegasus named Windstorm. Together the three of them make their way around the world.

This was my submission for Noble Cause's National Pony Writing Month Competition in August of 2012.

Give some support to the other wonderful writers who participated. Their works are listed here!

For anyone that cares: I know I haven't updated the story in over a month and apologize for this. I promise I haven't stopped working on it but school is taking up most of my time. I have the rest of chapter 15 completed I just need to piece it all together from my notes and type it up. Enjoy!
