The Tyrant Within
In the world of ponydom, they were at school together. Trained together. Fought together. And one day, they will fight again...
In the world of ponydom, Equestria is but a young and vulnerable nation. It needs heroes to defend it. It needs authority. It needs pillars.
Yet Star Swirl and his legendary Pillars have mysteriously vanished. After guiding ponydom for so long, their absence is sorely felt, their stability lost, their legacy in peril.
Young Celestia knows this. But what can she do? She's just a disobedient student.
Young Cinch knows this too. And in her mind, it's not a question of what she can do. It's a question of what she will do. For she is always working – she prides herself on it – and now she is working on a solution to everything...
An entry in Imposing Sovereigns III, using the prompt "Cinch/Integrity".
