Before King Sombra enslaved the Chrystal Empire. Before Discord brought mayhem to Equestria. Even before Luna turned into Nightmare Moon and was sent to the moon. There was the Dragon Invasion. Both young princess celestia and luna are caught in a war for equestria. A war they are losing. Celestia and Luna now have to flee the place they once called home. They are uncertain if they can ever return. They are not strong enough to take their land back. Not yet. They run into a group who introduce themselves as guides for the princesses. They know of the power and potential that the sisters possess. If celestia and luna can unlock this, they can claim their land back from the dragons. Every great ruler had to start somewhere, even if out of destruction.
