Ponies and Griffons have been fighting for twenty-four years now without either side giving up much territory. The Ponies, having just negotiated peace with the Dragons, are shaping up to become a powerful nation. But the Griffons have held a solid empire for much longer and know how to survive a conflict of this magnitude. The Ponies are being pushed back and are quickly running out of resources. But all of that will soon change. A new addition to the army has been made. A group of unicorns bred from foalhood to fight in this war have entered the picture as newly instated "battle mages." This is the story of their leader, an exceptionally powerful unicorn, thought to be able to last more than a few a minutes against an alicorn before losing. These are the thoughts of a warrior.

Quick note: So, I'm doing a sort of "Inspired by Music" collection where I take the lyrics of songs I like and make stories out of them. Let me know what you guys think about this story and if the series is a good idea. The song for this is Warrior by Disturbed. Tagged [Dark] because no other tags seemed appropriate, but this can just be considered light-dark, nothing really intense about it. Told in 1st person, past tense. Enjoy.
