COLTSTANTINOPLE
Sigvard Sturrlasson, last of the Snjárri Clan, stood atop the walls of the Queen of Cities. Things were peaceful for now, however he knew better.
The Varygani were being mobilized. He had no idea what foe had the Emperor in mind, but whatever it was, they would be prepared...
"Maybe it will also give me a chance..." he thought to himself, remembering the wooden longhouse, the proud Jarls of the Northernmost regions of the Griffin Kingdom, his own father...
Soon he flew down, towards the Mess Hall of the Guard Castle. Hearing quite a mess as he approached, he came in through a balcony, noticing the beaten Hippogrifs. After finding out what had happened from some other Bat Pony nearby, he walked out, noticing Chilling Wind walking nearby...
Walking up to him he looked "So... anything interesting?" He asked his friend.
PONYVILLE
Fluttershy let out a soft sigh as she finished feeding a puppy, a part of her yearning for what had been before... With Ponyville's growth, her cottage was not so isolated anymore, While still not within the city limits, it was much closer to them, and most of her animal friends had either passed away or left for less populated areas...
Of course, she had not really noticed it as it happened, the War had been fought, and she spent the war caring for wounded ponies.
As the puppy barked happily, she remembered that she was supposed to have a guest today... She moved to make everything ready for him...

Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle
You are well aware that a new sovereign power has been established called Diamondgrad. I have been called to a summet regarding discussions the current situation with our Changeling Friends. However, Princess Luna has turned sick recently making me unable to attend. Could you, Princess Twilight, my most trusted friend, attend this meeting in my place? I would be very grateful if you do for it is extremely urgent that we get Lethe to cease their attacks against Changelings. There are no reasons for them to take place like this it's causing an international crisis.
I wish you good luck.
Your most trusted friend and former mentor,
Princess Celestia.

"Some hot-headed trainee idiots got into a fight and I had to beat the tar out of 'em. Just the usual," Chilling Wind casually snorted with a wave of his wing for emphasis, "I thought you were taking the day off, Siggy," Chilling added after a moment, looking his friend/partner in the eye curiously.
As he spoke, Chilling kept walking forward casually, the long, grey fur on his legs swishing back and forth with his steps. The afternoon sun highlighted his cutie mark: three ice-blue slashes that could either be blades, claws, or a gust of cold wind. Nopony could really figure it out yet. Either way, it went with his name and his serious personality.
However right now he was showing his warmer side. Since they were relatively alone, Chilling didn't mind relaxing around his friend, and actually grinned at him, greeting him by the nickname "Siggy." Yes, even Chilling had a sense of humor that allowed him to think of nicknames for his friends.

Just four minutes left...
three minutes...
two...
FINALLY! Discord snapped his talons, instantly transporting himself to Fluttershy's house. Before he knocked on the door he took a moment to smooth his tiny white beard and black hair.
Knocking on the door, he called, "Fluttershy? It is I, Discord! May I come in yet?"

Celestia sat down on her throne with a troubled mind. She supposed to be going to an extremely important meeting about the formation of yet another nation. Much have changed and over the past ten years the Equestria she once ruled as crumbled into dozens of nationstates bickering and clashing against one another. Now with a new nation breaking away from yet another, the possibility of reunification sounds like a dream not even Princess Luna could produce. Not to mention the fact that her international neighbor, the Kingdom of Lethe has become even more of a thorn in the side of the alliance. Now ot seems like war is on the horizon.
Speaking of Luna, the Princess of the Night have turned out quite sick recently. This meant that Celestia found herself unable to go to the meeting in order to look after her young sister. Sighing, the Sun Princess took out some ink and parchment and began writing a letter to her former student, Twilight Sparkle.Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle

Sighing, Princess Celestia rolled up the letter and magically sent it away to be received by Spike.
Spot
Sixteen year old Spot, his cuite mark an assortment of animals was excited to finally be out of High School for the Summer. Now it was getting close to his return to Summer Camp with the Varsity Colt Scouts. It's been eleven years since he was the small young colt, youngest of the seven who with he first walked into Twilight's castle after their small-time 'crime spree' came to an end. Now Spot was as close as ever with his step-mother after all this time.
The young white earth colt with a splotch of black around his eye, walked into Twilight's room to check on her. "Hey Mom." he said walking in with a tao of a hoof on the door, "I was wondering if you would be going to Summer Camp with me. It is getting close to that time now that I'm out of school. Also, can I go visit Fluttershy? I've asked het if I could go help her out with the animals."
Zelenka
Eighteen year old Zelenka once went under the name 'Zing' till realizing that she was transgender and thst she was more of a filly than a colt. The young zebra was in her own bedroom going through applications to get herself into college at University of Canterlot. Zelenka had a great interest in potion making, especially since undergoing some apprenticeship under Zecora when she was younger. Ever since it came close for time at High School to come to a permanent close, Zelenka has been excited about going to College along with her elder brothers, Bounty and Pitch Black and sister, Olive Oil, to continue her education in potion making.
Finding some questions difficult to answer however, Zelenka got up from her chair and left the room. She headed towards Twilight's room and knocked on her door. "Mom, can I have some help with my applications?" she asked, "There are some questions I think you'd be better at answering for me. Also, can I go visit Zecora? It's been a while..."
Dear Princess Celestia:
Although my schedule is already quite filled, I consider such a large-scale effort of friendship to prevail all others. I can easily reschedule any conflicts. Since I am not aware of the details of the summit, would you tell me more about it so I can plan accordingly?
I am sorry to hear about Princess Luna. I hope that she gets better soon.
Sincerely,

PONYVILLE
Smiling softly at one of the few things that had remained constant after the chaos of the War, Fluttershy went to the door, opening it for her friend "Hello Discord, please do come in" She said softly. They say that war changes ponies, that it does, even if they don't actually fight. But she tried to at least not lose herself in that... It seemed to have worked
"Oh! The tea should be ready" She said, heading to her kitchen as the puppy from before looked curiously at Discord
COLTSTANTINOPLE
"Nah, just on the old checking of the Walls" Sigvard replied with a chuckle "If anything, I thought you were taking the day off, you know, take up on the other part of your name and chill out?" He joked. While being on his armor, the griffin had no helmet on, and had a baton instead of his usual axe...
"Ok, drinks are on me" he finally said as they walked...
Imperial Palace
"Your Majesty, I have news from Skyros, the investigation upon the applications of the Delta-type generators are... Well, it is better for you to see it yourself Your Majesty"
As the aide spoke, Agamemnon, first of that name, Emperor of the Ippeians, was intrigued. The world knew that the Delta prototypes, some rather unstable generators with an amazing output, were a pet project of the Ippeians, what few knew, is that the same generators were also being worked upon to find possible military applications besides generating power for Warships...
"I shall see the report and so will my Protostrator... Thank you"
The aide bowed and left the room. And the Emperor looked west, towards the setting sun.
"I am sure my son will do fine..." he thought to himself, vowing that if anything happened to him, then he would correct the mistake of not intervening in the previous war...
In reality, the "Declaration of Independence" was nothing more than essentially just a formal message on sheets of paper. It looked nice, but it wasn't anything like a mass telegram or leaflet or anything like that. It involved sending envoys to each of the major powers of Equestria, each with a simple message to give the ponies or otherwise other species present. In short: These messages would look something like "The Republic of Diamondgrad now exists, please respect our borders and we'll do yours the same", of course in a much more formal manner than the aforementioned example was. Though he was meticulous in making sure that everywhere that he sent a Dog to would receive the message, he was still paranoid about the possibility that someone interpret his message the wrong way and take it more of a declaration of a rogue nation, rather than a free, new nation.

Insurrectionists of "Diamondgrad,"
By order of His Heavenly Majesty, God-King Letum of Lethe, I must inform you that Appaloosa and the surrounding area are part of the sovereign territory of the Kingdom of Lethe; sovereign territory which you have unlawfully laid claim to. This provocation has not gone unnoticed and it will not be allowed to continue unhindered. The illegitimate declaration of independence of the so-called Republic of Diamondgrad is an affront to the Crown and a direct challenge to the God-King's authority, a challenge which he has seen fit to respond to with swift and decisive action.
His Heavenly Majesty has issued the following ultimatum: Acknowledge the authority of the Crown of Lethe, repudiate the illegitimate declaration of independence, swear fealty to the God-King, and accept citizenship within the Kingdom of Lethe, or leave the Kingdom's borders and relocate the settlement of Diamondgrad to someplace else. The territorial-integrity of the Kingdom is non-negotiable; the land which you have seen fit to seize is the lawfully-recognized territory of the Crown and it will not be given away under any circumstances. Immediate military action will be taken unless one of the two options granted by the Crown is taken in swift measure.
The God-King is known to massacre his enemies by thousands, leaving death and destruction in his wake; if you value your lives, you'll do as he commands and you'll do it on the double.
Signed, Lieutenant-General Armored Arrow, Commander of the 4th Army Corps of the Royal Lethean Army

As they were walking off of the office, two stallions hurried to the President and the Crown Prince. A young tall stallion in civilian clothes spoke first.
"Your Excellence, Your Highness, the Diamond Dogs have declared themselves a Free Nation... right in the middle of Lethe..."
Before either could speak, the second stallion, a Captain in the relatively new army of the Republic continued "We have intercepted radio communications within Lethe... they plan to move in force against the Dogs..."
Both leaders were stunned for a few seconds. After looking at each other, the President spoke "Is the Diamond Dog emissary here? If he is, send him to my office, I need a word with him..."
As President Red Feather retreated back into his office, the Crown Prince looked at the stallions. After letting out a sigh, the copper-colored pegasus spoke "Take me to my accomodations... I need to contact Father urgently"
Meanwhile Red Feather decided that he needed a drink after meeting the Dog... It would be a long day at the very least...
CANTERLOT
Thidareik af Oium, the old professor in the University of Canterlot, was most certainly not expecting this visit.
Standing before his door was his cousin, Alreik.
"They murdered Amelind" Was all he said.
Alreik, a Hippogriff slightly younger than Thidareik, had been married before immigrating to Equestria, the old engineer had found work in Cloudsdale before the war. He had survived the sack by taking refuge with his cousin. At the time he had a 20-year old or so daughter called Amelind. After taking refuge for two months, they returned to the city, participated in its reconstruction...
With the rise of White Knight, Amelind had tried to convince her father to move... just the day after she had convinced him, the fire happened, and as she walked back home, a gang of the Chancellor's supporters beat her to death...
Shaken, the older cousin let Alreik into his house, closing the door slowly.
The two old Hippogriffs ate silently that night, not entirely sure what was the other thinking...
IMPERIAL PALACE, COLTSTANTINOPLE
It took two hours for the Crown Prince to get to his quarters for the visit, and contact the Imperial Palace through secure means. The young Prince skipped over the usual pleasantries, going straight to the point
"The Dogs declared independence... Their new nation happens to sit right in the middle of Lethe..."
Surprised by this development, Agamemnon gave a soft nod. "Well, is there anything we can do about it?" The Emperor asked, wanting to know if there was a chance of supporting the Dogs or at least weaken this unholy realm...
"Well, I fear we can't participate directly, and I doubt that our allies in Sierra Palomino will want to do so... But we could grant them support, either to keep their home, or, if we arrive to late, to recover it..."
"And will the Diamond Dogs let us do such a thing?"
The Crown Prince sighed "I will find out soon... hopefully it won't be too late by then"
"In that case make haste my son, and let these Dogs know, that they will have a friend in the Empire."
PONYVILLE
The puppy barked happily again and sat by Discord. Fluttershy smiled at that "He wandered here just after I returned" She said softly, looking at Discord before sipping her tea.
THE BLACHERNAE BRIDGE, COLTSTANTINOPLE
Sigvard laughed and shrugged "Good, we've got wine to drink tonight... for all we know, we might be off in a boat tomorrow..."
To Princess Celestia, Head of all armed forces of Equestria,
From: Major General Rainbow Dash of the Wonderbolts:
Princess, we just got a transmission stating that Lethe is amassing forces around the new nation of Diamondgrad. Should we host a meeting with the heads of military to discuss this further?

"Diamond Dogs Never Die"
Diamondgrad, Appleoosan Mountains
To the Kingdom of Lethe,
We regret to inform you that we will not be moving from our rightful home anytime soon. Diamondgrad is a settlement of over half a million free Diamond Dog souls, many of whom had already settled in the region well before the nation even existed. Moreover, we have occupied these caves well before both Diamondgrad and Lethe even existed, whether it be small tribes or more organized settlements, and believe that we deserve the right to stay here, as it is our rightful home. Where else would we have to take a fully-fledged subterranean city to, not to mention the half a million souls still living in the city?
We request that you immediately pull your forces away from our boundaries, for the sake of both of our countries' safety. This barren region otherwise has no value to you, so we're sure that there can be a way to resolve this issue without immediately resorting to a dangerous conflict. An occupation after years of literally living under the shadows of the above-grounders is the exact opposite of what we'd want to happen after years of living like this. I hope you understand.
Signed,
Rex, Leader of the Diamondgrad Defense Force, Member of the Republic of Diamondgrad Council.

"Well, not much has happened lately..." Was all she could say. The last few weeks had been -so far as Fluttershy knew- rather quiet. "how have you been?"
Taken out of the conversation by a knock on the door, Fluttershy stood up and looked at Discord "I wonder who could it be" She said, walking to the door, smiling at the sight in front of her
"Of course Spot" She told him with a warm smile "Do you want some tea before?" She asked him, glad that he had come actually.

"Last I heard, Khaki will be gone all the month, something about visiting our gallant allies of Sierra Palomino" Sigvard said, half-joking before looking at Chilling. "As far as I know, former Equestria has been a mess lately..."
With a shrug he kept walking, heading towards a nearby pub.

To the one known as "Rex,"
I see that you have seen fit to continue your efforts to steal my land, even when I have made it clear that these efforts will not be tolerated. There are two potential reasons for this persistence; either you are ignorant of who I am, or you are knowingly and willfully condemning yourself and all of your comrades to death. If the former is the case, then allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Letum; I am officially known as His Heavenly Majesty, God-King Letum of Lethe, Shield of Righteousness and Sword of Justice. Most mortals know me as the All-Maker. I assure you, I have these titles for a reason; it is because I am a deity among mere mortals. To someone who has literally lived their life under a rock, I'm sure it would seem ridiculous that anyone would presume to take the title of a God, so I'd like you to witness my power for yourself. I have triumphed in battle against Celestia and against Chrysalis, wreaking Havoc against those who dare stand against me. You don't have to take my word for it; inside this letter will be an enchanted crystal which will display magical recordings of my handiwork in complete detail.
Many thousands have been slain through my doing; I have cleaved through legions of enemies, unleashing unimaginable devastation against those who take up arms to thwart me. I take no prisoners and I show no quarter to my enemies; I will butcher entire species and level entire cities to enforce my will. I make no distinction between combatant and non-combatant; I personally ensure that anyone who so much as associates with my foes will die the worst kind of death imaginable. The abominations known as changelings can testify to my strength of arms, and my unending bloodlust in battle. Nothing stands between me and my goals; I don't fight my enemies, I utterly eradicate them, alongside anyone who would stand with them. And, now, you have chosen to count yourself among my enemies.
I generously bestowed upon you the opportunity to become my subject and live under my protection; I have extended unto you, and all of your comrades-at-arms, the ability to receive the same rights and privileges as the equines and bovines, to live as a normal citizen of my vast Kingdom. You've been given every opportunity to walk away and build your little settlement someplace else; these opportunities will not be extended a second time, I promise you. This is your final chance to accept my offer and live as a citizen in my land or live independently in someone else's land. I will personally be arriving to order an assault on Diamondgrad within hours of you receiving this message; if you haven't accepted my generous offer by that point, my vast army and I will massacre every last inhabitant of your city without hesitation.
Do as I command and the rewards will be vast; defy me, and I can offer nothing but suffering and death.
Truly,
Letum of Lethe
"Civilized peoples of Equestria, today I have an announcement of the utmost importance: The Celestial snakes have officially violated the Peace of Canterlot, attacking the foundations of peace and showing their intent to bring war to Equestria. Moments ago, a message was sent to my government by the Celestial armed forces; the contents of said message were an open declaration of intent to launch an unprovoked attack against our nation and support the armed insurrection currently ongoing outside Appaloosa. These actions are a clear and indisputable violation of the terms of the peace treaty which was agreed to by both nations; terms under which the borders of Lethe were recognized and an indefinite period of non-aggression was accepted. The hypocrites in the Celestial government, who claim to represent peace while openly violating treaties and preparing unprovoked wars of aggression, are, evidently, of the opinion that the shattered remains of their Old Order still wield enough force to allow them to get away with whatever transgressions they please. They will soon learn that we, the people of Equestria, have no tolerance for these actions.
Every opportunity for peace has been granted; every action has been taken to ensure the stability of Equestria. The abomination-sympathizers have cast aside these opportunities to satisfy their insatiable hatred of all things civilized; so greatly do they despise civilized society that they will conjure up any excuse to sow the seeds of unjust destruction and death against the people around them. Nothing will satisfy these transgressors; they will find any reason to justify their unprovoked acts of aggression and destruction, whether it be the abominations or, as it is now, the Diamond Dogs. As I have been warning Equestria for years, the Celestial snakes can not be trusted; they are willing collaborators of the abominations, having no qualms about working with a race of slave-traders and mass-murderers for the sake of their own personal benefit. On this day, they have proven themselves, yet again, to be the number one enemy of all us civilized peoples, showing that they openly strive to bring about war and devastation.
Well, let me promise all the righteous people of this land: I will never yield to this great evil which has infested Equestria! This flagrant violation of the Peace of Canterlot is an act of war against my nation, and an affront to all civilized peoples; we will retaliate accordingly! By my right as God-King, I hereby declare that, ever since this declaration of intent was delivered to my government, a state of war has existed between the Kingdom of Lethe and the Celestial regime! The Peace of Canterlot, a treaty which Celestia has openly and unapologetically sought to dismantle for years, is officially repudiated! May all the people of Equestria bear witness, on this day, that I shall do everything in my power to destroy this menace no matter the cost. We shall fight the Celestial Menace in Appaloosa; we shall fight in Ponyville; we shall fight in San Flankcisco; we shall fight in Salt-Lick City; we shall fight in the fields; we shall fight in the cities; we shall fight in the mountains, and in the hills; we shall never surrender!
I call upon all the righteous to join me in taking up arms to finally destroy this pervasive blight upon this land! The prophesied struggle to purge Equestria of inequity is upon us at last; we must fight until transgression is no more! The time has come whereupon all the people of Equestria are called to arms; this is our time, when we must face the most important struggle the world has ever known, where history shall decide whether Equestria shall be free or whether it shall stand condemned underneath Celestial tyranny! History shall forever remember where ponies stood on this day; whether they chose to wield the sword of justice in battle against tyranny or turn a blind eye to the army of darkness which seeks the enslavement of us all. For those of us who have the courage to defend our land even unto death, and join the ranks of the martyrs in the highest heaven, history shall remember, thousands of years after the dust has settled, that this was our finest hour!"

No doubt you have heard the broadcast of our friend the All-Maker today. This brings us to dangerous times we have not seen in a decade. Right now I am going to try everything to control the damage that have been caused by pulling out our military from the Diamond Dog's territory. When you go to the summit this weekend at Buckmark, I want you to invite the Diamond Dogs to have a seat. I am entrusting you above all others to end this debacle we're in peacefully. Equestria can't afford to have another war in it's hands after a mere decade since the last war.

Fido perked up as Symphonia rolled out the political map towards him and pointed towards the Appleoosan mountain range with her hoof stretched out. “Excuse me, sir," she began, "But this mountain range here… is that where your homeland is?” Fido nodded quickly as he got a closer look at the map, tapping on the Appleoosan mountain range with an outstretched claw. "Yes. Actually, this area here," Fido made a small circle on the map around a patch of the mountain range closer to the actual town of Appleoosa, located inside the nation of Lethe. "This is Diamondgrad. We own this set of the mountains and the surrounding area, not Appleoosa." He explained. "Why do you ask, by the way?"
"Well, if that happens I'm sure even Lethe would be willing to agree to a temporary cease-fire. It's not like Diamond Dogs are changelings," replied Twilight. "Now, let's see him," she said, and followed Silver to the main lobby. As she walked down the staircase she saw a fast rainbow streak at the window out of the corner of her eye--a pleasant surprise to see, being one of her best friends.

"Of course some tea would be nice, thank you." he said as the teenager came was ushered in by the yellow pegasus, and sat down "So how is Angel? Poor guy as gotten old over the years..."
Spot turned to discord and have him a concerned look. The earth colt and his siblings had admiration for the draconequus, finding him entertaining like a clown.. "Of course I care to see you, Discord." he saidm "What makes you think that I'd only care to see Fluttershy?"

"It is, as per Lethe itself alongside the rest of the nations in the region established as a precedent during the breakup of Equestria, the sorvereign right of any intelligent people, to establish a national home if so they wish. The Diamond Dogs have chosen to make good use of that right, and on the lands that they have inhabited for generations, they have chosen to establish a free and sorvereign nation.
Under such circumstances, the least of the actions that the Empire of the Ippeians can take, is to offer the Diamond Dog Nation our recognition, and offer our help towards a peaceful resolution of this crisis, or to keep their independence, if no peaceful solution can be reached."

Rainbow Dash zoomed onto one of Twilight’s balconies, ready to tell her the news. Holding still, Rainbow Dash took a few moments to catch her breath before looking around for Twilight. She charged through the halls until she found Twilight.
She had a feeling Twilight wasn’t going to like the fact that Equestria’s military was on the move, but if Twi had been there at that military debate SURELY she would understand. Dash figured that if Twi was mad she would just apologize profusely. Right now there wasn’t time for diplomacy; it was clear that Lethe was on the move and they were NOT friendly.
Suddenly, she heard something from a radio in another room.
It was the All-Maker’s transmission. Rainbow Dash sat down after she heard it. Within moments she was angry and leaped to her hooves. Rainbow Dash began pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what to do.
They clearly stated they wanted PEACE! Now what? War? Well, all the heads of military were expecting war. Lethe constantly skirmished them, insulted them, and spread negative propaganda about them. Not just Equestria, but about Celestia and Luna and sometimes even about Twilight. Then again, she didn’t want war. Then again, she couldn’t help it. Now what, though? Now what?
Again Rainbow Dash began pacing back and forth, trying not to panic or get too furious.
Finally, she rushed through the halls until she found Twilight.
She stood by and listened to what Twilight said and scoffed.
“Twi, I don’t know if you know this, but Lethe just sent out a transmission—it was a speech King Letum gave,” Rainbow Dash cut in sadly, “King Letum wants to butcher us all because we ‘sympathize with the abominations’ and he calls Princess Celestia a snake and all sorts of other horrid things. You’re gonna have to do some serious persuading if you want this to end up in peace. Believe me, I want peace, but I don’t know how we are going to have that now.”
With that, Rainbow Dash approached Twilight and Rover and added, “Twi, the summit isn’t for a few days or so, right? In the meantime, Lethe wants to eradicate the Diamond Dogs. We can’t just let them get annihilated, can we? The Military wants to support them, and we are already preparing troops by the borders. I am not sure what Princess Celestia wants to do now, but we gotta do something about Diamondgrad. If we sit back and wait for the summit, Lethe is going to kill them all, and it will be our fault for not intervening. Did you get any letters from Princess Celestia? What does she want to do? And don’t tell me she wants to wait, because the Military is fed up with Lethe and they all wanna DO something.”
