Hauptgreif Fleidgling had long been assigned as paymaster to the Griffonian Empire's garrison in the minotaur isles. Korporal Guntram had long been assigned as Fleidgling's escort. Neither had been particularly happy with their assignment, but they were content to live with it. However, odd developments after a tour around the islands threaten not only their time off, but their lives.

Set within the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron IV and written for the 2020 Equestria at War Writing Contest. Having familiarity with the setting is absolutely vital.
