It is a dark time for Equestria. Rumours are circulating about conflict forming between the Princesses, rumours which soon turn out to be true when the moon doesn't set one day. It quickly becomes apparent that one Princess has turned on the other, but no one is sure who has done what, or who the enemy is.

Panic occurs quickly, sides are swiftly taken and loyalties are questioned as ponies start to take up arms against one another in support of their chosen ruler.

Now ponies loyal to Celestia and Luna are ready to charge at one another, some out of loyalty, some out of bravery, and some because it's what they were told to do. Right now they are just waiting, since neither particularly wants to make the first move.

This is not an action story! Much more of a calm before the storm sort of thing.

From the p.o.v. of a nameless pony. Contains profanity.
