On the edge of the badlands, griffon and pony live on opposing sides of one of the few areas still worth fighting and dying for. With desert wasteland to the north and deadly swamp lands to the south, factions have sprung up intent on gathering whatever power remains to end this stalemate. One unicorn finds herself tossed from her life-saving stable into the harsh wilderness and, protected by a griffon on the run, finds herself trapped in the middle of the factions power plays. Together they must eek out a small living and try to find someplace, anyplace, where they can feel safe again. *Collaboration work with [url=http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Duelist925]Duelist925.[/url] This story would be no where near as good without his help.
