Jadefire longs for fieldwork in the Ministry of Awesome, yet as one of the few Kirin serving Equestria's western war effort, things never come easy. Those of her kind not serving on the front line as flaming berzerkers never get a second glance from the ponies in charge. There's no way she can escape her life as little more than a glorified pencil pusher, no way they'd save a non-pony like her when Equestria's borrowed time is finally up.

She knows she only has two choices, accept she's doomed or fight for the one way out within reach. All she has to do for that is betray the mare closest to her. Become a pony out of time, doomed to navigate a whole new world of horrors. All while doing her best to retain some semblance of her former self in an alien body. The game is afoot and she intends to win.
