Important Note The chapters of this story have been rewritten and are very different from what they used to be. If you would like to read the old version you may find it here.

I've learned many secrets since I became a princess. Secrets of government, secrets of military, secrets of intelligence, but there are some secrets I feel like I'd rather not learn.

The Order of the Alicorn. The most hidden, most secretive, and most fear branch of the Equestrian military. Soldiers trained for the specific purpose of slaying demons. Not just monsters, but the very incarnations of evil. Creatures from a different time, whose very way of life brings nothing but suffering.

Few ponies would ever willingly fight such monsters, but I may soon have to.
