Prologue

The grand halls of Canterlot were silent. The dead silence was broken by the pitter patter of a pony's hooves as he galloped towards the end of the hall. "Princess" screamed the colt as he continued through the halls "Princess Celestia!"

The dusky brown and sickly looking colt ran into the main hall and was greeted by aghast eyes and armed guards ready to charge at him in an instant. The princess looked at the guards and nodded for them to lower the hostility towards the newly arrived guest. "What is it my little pony" asked the great alicorn with a calming yet booming voice.

The colt bowed and attempted to catch his breath as he explained why he was there. "Princess it's…it's awful…the diamonds dogs…they came out of no where and…and…" The colt's eyes began to water at remembering the horrible incident that just happened to him. "They….they…stormed into the town armed with weapons and torches and…oh god so much screaming…and blood…" The quivered and fell on the ground in front of the princess's throne. "They killed them all! Oh god it was awful! Make the screaming stop please…MAKE IT STOP!" The brown colt wept and begged the princess to do something. Yet, all the alicorn could do was sit there staring at the broken colt with horror and shock in her deep eyes. She closed them for many heartbeats. The rest of the room at this time was looking at them both in the same horror and the room break out into screams and wails at what was going on.

The princess opened up her eyes and slammed her hoof into the tile in front of her, automatically silencing the room. She turned to her guard on her left and started in a demanding and steady tone, "Guard, get this colt to a doctor" she turned to her right and said in the same voice, "and you go and wake Princess Luna." The massive alicorn got up and started to walk to her private chambers until she was stopped by the voice of her captain of the guard.

"Princess" he started, "I know this is none of my business, but what are you planning to do"

She sighed and closed her eyes, "If the dogs want war…then we will give them hell…" At this the princess continued to walk and the room busted into pure chaos at the sound of a war. Years of peace and harmony broken by this event…this event that will shake Equestria to its roots, causing calamity and riots all through out the pony's world.

War has started…and hell has come to Equestria…
