At Last, The End Of The Night

Previous Chapter

Food was scarce. Earth ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns raged war on one another. Not only against the other races, but against their own kind as well. It was utter chaos. Some even believed it was beyond repair.

But there was an alliance; a group of ponies. They held hope. Hope for the world.

The group consisted of these six ponies-

The leader. This unicorn kept the group in order, constantly filling them with words of encouragement.

The second member being a strong and honest Earth pony. She often stayed up at night, watching over the group, keeping them safe.

They had their athlete, placing as the third member in the group; their runner. She was in charge of gathering supplies. Being the quickest, this Pegasus was light on her hooves, making it easy for her to get in and out of tough situations.

Fourth; while this unicorn did little to supply the group, she was part of the family. She kept the others optimistic, and helped with their sanity in the hard times. She believed that one day, things would go back to normal. And she wanted her group- her family -to still have their manners when this happened.

The fifth was the kind and gentle Pegasus. She cared for the group. She loved them, showing kindness and compassion. She was like a candle of hope all on her own in the world of chaos surrounding them. Proof that there was still kind ponies in Equestria.

And lastly, another Earth pony. She kept the team well fed. She cooked tasty foods, and also kept the others laughing with her seemingly endless since of humor and ability to laugh in any situation.

Together, this band of friends were determined to change the world for the better.

They started off by finding a secluded area, away from the ravenous ponies that populated the cities and towns. They built a camp, setting up an orderly arrangement. One by one, they would go out in search for others. Taking them to their makeshift home, rehabilitating these ponies back to normal. They farmed and took what little food they had, doubling it. Then tripling and so on. Soon, they made an entire town! All the ponies working together! When they would come up against gangs of ponies set on ripping away their slowly building civilization, they would show them kindness, changing their hearts.

Soon, the world was set back to normal, life returning back to its previous state.

Twilight smiled, "Showing that no matter what, working together can help you in any situation, and-"

The loud eruption of snoring cut her short. Discord lay, levitating in the air, his head on a pillow and a blanket covering part of his body. Twilight looked to her left to see Princess Celestia curled on the floor, sleeping as well.

The purple unicorn continued to smile fondly. "It seems my work here is done." Quietly, she pulled Spike onto her back once more and left the two to sleep.
