They say change is for the better. In most cases, it can be. In the years since the end of Luna's thousand-year banishment, great reform has come to Equestria's armed forces. Her once-powerful, former Lunar Republic now serves in tandem with the military, ruled over by the two sisters equally, with some of the finest stallions and mares having devoted their lives under the four branches to protect the country at any and all cost.

One pegasus, in desperate need of a life change, puts himself in line for the challenge of a lifetime in anticipation of bettering who he is—to earn himself the noble title of a Lunar Marine.

NOTE: This story is currently undergoing chapter revisions/rewrites, so do excuse inconsistencies while I rework it.

The first book in the Millennia Saga. This story series is set in an adapted universe where there is no Solar Empire vs. New Lunar Republic conflict and is part of the Pegiverse.

Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. All OCs used belong to their respective owners.

A plague spreads all throughout the happy land of Equestria, slowly turning it into a rancid, deathly wasteland full of hate. The Mane 6 struggles to keep up with the quickly dying land- But the corpses of the ponies they used to know have other plans.

Also credit to Thunderblast. He really helped in proofreading and just plain advice.

As a high-ranking and valued member of the Lunar Guard of Equestria, Stormfire's day-to-day life generally revolves around protecting the ponies he holds close to his heart, as well as the Night Princess herself from any possible threats. But just how far will he go to carry out his guard duties? And why does he want to protect them in the first place?

This is his story to tell, just like everypony else has one of their own.

This is his life.

Rated T for frequent language and possibly graphic violence. This story will delve into Stormfire's life in-depth and will be pretty dark and dramatic at times, but I will try to give it comedic elements throughout and an overall optimistic tone. Constructive criticism is accepted; as always, feel free to give advice on how to make the story better. Rude and or hostile comments will be deleted.

Earlier chapters will be undergoing reediting at some point this year.

All OCs in this story (except the ones that belong to me) will be featured with the consent of their respective owners.

Now with its own Fan Wiki and TVTropes pages.

Set in the Pegiverse, from the Great Gryphon War (around twenty-five years ago) to the present day.

Edited with Grammarly. A story about life, love, and how our day-to-day experiences shape us into the kind of people we become.
