The Great War was a great conflict that lasted four years and has claimed that lives of millions of Pony and Changeling soldiers. The death toll among the civilians might not ever be fully known. Almost half of Equestria was occupied at the peak of the war with millions of civilians being subjugated and forced to help support the Changeling's war effort.

This is the diary of Easy Green, a pony caught behind the frontlines in the town of Yonderhill. Here she shares her thoughts, fears and dreams in a time of paranoia, survival and strife. This story serves as the prolog of her journals and covers Ms Green's initial reaction to the conquering of Yonderhill and learning to live under the heel of the Changeling regime.

Edited and additional commentary provided by the Royal Military Historian, Aftermath.

Written for the 4th annual Equestria at War writing contest, but I have plans on extending it into a series.
