Survival Begins at Home

by Kiernan
Shining Armor has to deal with the trauma of his sister's death, while defending Equestria from invading zebra forces.

It has been three months since Twilight was killed, and Shining Armor is still having nightmares about it. Cadance wants to help, but he's been pushing her away. To make matters worse, a war with the Zebrican Empire is upon them. Will Shining Armor be able to fight off the zebras, or will his own depression deal the killing blow?

This story is a prequel to Survival of the Fittest.
