It's a normal day for Celestia, with a normal noblepony that wants normal tax raises like every other day, or at least that's what she thought. Sadly, exactly on this day, someone comes back from a journey and decides to wage war against Equus because he wants something that Celestia can't grant him.

He gives Equestria five years preparation time until he starts to slaughter everyone in the kingdom. Celestia and Luna then begin to prepare themselves for the upcoming war, through searching for allies and training the Elements Of Harmony in warfare, but to win this war, it needs more than just the Elements Of Harmony.

Along their preparations, they find someone powerful, who accepts training their forces, but is he really here to help?

The human-tag is just there, because some guys just so happen to have the form of humans. This is no typical HiE-fic.

Rated mature for some gore scenes in some chapters. Have to make the fighting seem realistic.

Dated pre-coronation, and will not take the changes of it into consideration.
