Since the close of season 2 of FiM i have always had thoughts about one potentiality; what about all the other cities in Equestria? What if the Changlings attacked more than just Canterlot but several larger cities of Equestria? This story explores the consequences of those thoughts. In the background of this story wages a war across a good deal of Equestria, but it is something that has always been just in the background to the ponies of the Ponyville/Canterlot region, for they had the Elements of Harmony protecting them. Follow the OC Lance Minder as he returns from the war for the first time into a place that has long forgotten about it.
