Well, "hero" might not be the best term. There's only [[UpperClassTwit Blueblood]]. Blueblood isn't a soldier, nor a mage, nor a diplomat, nor anyone you would count on to save a country. Blueblood doesn't care. Ironshod has the audacity to attack the rightful ''god'' of Equestria, and Blueblood would rather die than see Ironshod sit another moment on the Solar Throne. Out of options, the prince of Equestria takes drastic (and dangerous) action...
