The Bards of Mares
An Old-Ponish ballad written shortly before the banishment of Nightmare Moon.
It didn't take too long until the armies of the Endless Night reached a small tributary of Her Radiance's Crown, next to the far-reaching borders of the Heartlands. With its forces broken and ponies cowed, only a single fort remained between the Crescent Queen and an unshakable foothold into Equestria.
But where soldiers failed another force may yet prevail...
A ponyfic rewrite of The Bards of Wales.
