And that was it, the first four out of twenty-six chapters of an epic pony war. I thought I would conclude with the plan - shortened of its chapter descriptions beginning at chapter five, because.
Then follows a "poem" planned for chapter ten - it was meant to be inserted as dialogs in the narration - that I used as a mark for what I was writing. The "core story" as I began to call it. The belief in something that simply wasn't there.
Let's leave it at that.
Chapter 1 : Game of chess
Derpy lost Celestia's message, and Twilight goes and win against Leone, provoking the war between griffons and ponies.
Chapter 2 : Acting
All act as if there was no war, yet consequences are visible. Twilight is finally convinced to go and help Celestia on the battlefield.
Chapter 3 : War Fair
On the way, Dash "looks for Gilda". They discover the army lead by Iron Will. The belief is, one battle will solve all.

My legs are tense my heart must yield
As those ponies march to the field.
Is it my guilt is it my fault?
Before us stands an enemy.
We were all just fillies and colt
Now united as one army,
How is it that such a bond
Is the last one our hearts could long!
Tell me, aren't you shy? Are you afraid of harm?
We've decided we would take arms.
Tell me, are you really fine with this fight?
We'll show this might how ponies fight.
Others told me it was not fine
Being happy on the front line
But to show gloom when doom would loom
No thanks! Pink calls for playfulness!
To face unrest and make joy bloom!
More cheers mean more courage not less!
And if fear gets the upper hoof
I will be there all sadness-proof!
Tell me, aren't you shy? Are you afraid of harm?
We've decided we would take arms.
Tell me, are you really fine with this fight?
We'll show this might how ponies fight.
I did my best digging the mud,
Trenches against the claws and thud…
My brother's there, somewhere far,
Soon to gallop on the pasture.
Best be fiery! Hearts like a star.
Don't worry much for the future:
Give the order that we stand fast
So that through us friendship can last.
Tell me, aren't you shy? Are you afraid of harm?
We've decided we would take arms.
Tell me, are you really fine with this fight?
We'll show this might how ponies fight.
