The Last of Equestria

19 years, 7 months, 11 days and 23 hours. Corvo by this point has gotten to Canterlot. It was almost dark by the time he reached the main gates."Canterlot", the dark stallion thought to himself with saddened eyes."Haven't been here in years. Looks so different but... so quiet". He rotated his dead eyes around the scenery. Noticing that the majestic buildings were covered in vines. Trees grew on almost every part of the streets. Shops were either empty with broken windows or destroy and reduced to piles of rubble. In the distance, he saw what he was looking for, "Canterlot Castle". Many of the towers coming from the castle were broken off and some covered in greenery."Well, better get moving".

While walking down the streets of Canterlot to reach the castle, Corvo took his time and witnessed every structure he could see. After about an hour of walking through the city, it was dark. And since all the street lights were broken, it was hard to see. When he was close, he noticed something that made him freeze for a second. Two other survivors were coming around a corner and Corvo could hear their hoofsteps. As always he quickly ran inside vine infested building and stayed quiet. He peeked out a window and saw who was coming.

One was a mare and the other a stallion and they were both pegasi. As they came closer, he could make out what they were saying.

"Why are we here and not Clousdale? I hear there are some survivors down there, we can totally loot them", said the mare.

Look sis, were here to get to the castle. The princesses used to live here so maybe they have some goodies".

"Fuck you", the mare told her brother in a playful tone while lightly punching him on the shoulder.

The two pegasi walked right pass Corvo without noticing him. The dark stallion slowly drew his crossbow from his saddlebag and very carefully loaded an arrow in the centre. Pulling the string back till it made an small click.

"So, should we go to Ponyville now that w"... His voice was cut short as he felt a very sharp pain in his lungs. He moved his face which was pale white by now to see what was causing the pain. An arrow went right threw his lungs, cutting out his breathing organ. He made small gagging noises and fell the the ground creating a pile of blood as his sister watched in both horror and shock.

"No no no no no no, please Silverwing stay with me. Please.. please don't". The mare started to tear up and in seconds, she was sobbing at the lost of her brother.

"L-L-Lis-Listen sis". The mare's brother started but was having trouble speaking."Stay away from other ponies a-a-and, go to Ponyville and find shelter there". And with that, he went silent.

The mare was silent, just staring down at her brother "Silverwing" who was dead cold."Who the FUCK did that, show yourself", she started screaming behind her which was the same direction that the arrow came from.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck", the angered mare started to swear under her breath as she slowly walked up the street where the killer was hiding.

"One down, one to go", Corvo thought to himself as he reloaded another arrow in his crossbow. And with that, he drew out of cover and was now standing right in front of the mare. They were both silent. The mare looked at Corvo in shock as she witnessed the lethal weapon that was pointing straight at her.

"Please don't", she asked the dark figure in a quiet tone. But it was too late, Corvo pulled the trigger and in a heartbeat the arrow was through the mare's forehead. She then dropped dead and creating another mess of blood on the floor. Corvo was silent with a blank expression on his face, just taking in the thought that he killed to ponies that were brother and sister. For a moment he felt guilt and grief, but that went away as he remembered how evil this world was now. He looted both of the dead ponies and found: Some knifes, fruits and bread, a map of Equestria, some medical pills and bandages.

After what seemed like an eternity of standing still, he finally whispered to himself saying "I'm sorry".

Corvo then continued his journey into the castle. The huge front double doors were no where to be seen. Maybe they were destroyed or removed but now, now it was just a giant opening and it seemed like any pony with legs could simply walk in, take what they want and be off.

Corvo wandered pass the royal halls. All the stain glass windows that once meant something in Equestria, were now all broken and shattered to pieces. What a sad sight to witness, and if only princess Celestia were still alive. Not knowing what to do, he picked up his paced and in minutes found himself in the royal throne room. Just staring at the gigantic throne, covered with dirt and empty.. it was just sad.

He walked up to the decaying throne only to stop and noticed something odd. As he got closer, whenever he stepped on the floor it made a familiar noise. He then noticed that the floor was indeed hallow. His eyes scanned the floor all around the throne and found a small golden handle.

He slowly pulled on it, only to revile a trapdoor with some stairs leading down. At first he wasn't going to go down with the fear that maybe there were other survivors or traps down there. But then he heard some other hoofsteps coming from the castle halls nearby.

"Shit, not now", Corvo said under his breath. So he made his way down the stairs and making sure to close the trapdoor behind him. He slowly walked down the stairs and with every step he caused an audible creak. He found a door and opened it. Inside was a room with some cob webs, some put out candle, a table and chair... a chair... a chair with a pony on it.

Corvo in a hurry quickly pulled out his crossbow and pointed it at the mysterious pony. The pony quickly turned around, reviling who it was.

"P-Princess Luna", corvo was shocked by what he was seeing. Everypony said that all the rulers in Equestria were dead. Nowhere to be seen but now... he had found the princess of the night hiding from the outside world and in a bunker under Celestia's throne room. Luna was wearing a ragged cloth with a hood. She then got off her chair and walked up to Corvo with little to no fear that he was pointing an arrow at her.

"Who are you traveller and why are you in my sister's castle". Luna had a cold stare.

Corvo quickly put his crossbow away and started speaking."Princess Luna? I thought you were dead. How are you still here".

Luna's expression went from cold to sad."Ever since my sister was killed by the...the virus, i've been hiding here. Not wanting to bring too much attention. But why are you here and what do you seek"?

"I just explore Equestria hoping to find anything useful to help me live. By the way, my name is Corvo".

"Well Corvo, i can provide you with some supplies. But you must leave now. I'm sorry it has to be this way", Luna then took a breath."If you go to the Crystal Empire you may be able to find somethings that you seek. But be warned that many ponies travel there and many die".

And with that, she gave Corvo an enchanted dagger and sheathed it away in a leather case.

"This dagger is very dangerous,, a single cut will cause a pony to die within seconds". She then gave it to Corvo who put it away in his saddlebag.

"Why are you helping me"? asked Corvo with a curious glare.

"Because you have found me and... and i see good in your heart".

"How can i be good if i killed so many ponies in the past", He thought to himself as he was about to leave."Oh yeah, i have found Twilight Sparkle. She's in her tree back in Ponyville.

Luna gave Corvo a saddened stare."Tell her to be careful".

After a few seconds of being silent, Corvo took off. Thinking what was at the Crystal Empire that Luna told him. The other ponies he heard in the castle earlier were gone now, and he was alone for the time being.

By the time he had gotten back to Ponyville, it was dawn. He went back to the oak tree where Twilight was as he promised to be back. He knocked on the door and when it opened, the lavender alicorn was in front of him.

"Oh, hey Corvo, your back. Did you find anything there"?

Corvo just simply walked in and leaving the alicorn in confusion in why he didn't respond. After a moment of silence, he started.

"I found Princess Luna".

"Princess Luna"!!!!! Twilight was both shocked that she was still alive and happy that she was... well, still alive."Really you found her? Oh my gosh i can't believe it, i thought she was dead and"... The purple pony went silent for a moment and her eyes softened."Well that's it".

"She told you to be careful and...that i'm going to the Crystal Empire. By the way, what were you doing here while i was gone"?

"Just reading some old books, nothing new", she then walked back to her table where she was reading.

"I guess i could stay here one more night before i go".

"That'll be nice", said Twilight with a sad and soft tone."I just wish this never happened and that Equestria still lived in harmony". She then looked at her shelf and on it was her element of magic.

"Maybe one day". And with that they both went to bed. The buildings stayed demolished. Grief was among every pony left in Equestria and... a sight that would never rest till everypony was probably dead.
