An attack on Equestria was placed, and succeeded.

Equestria thought the attack wouldn't be bad, but it lead to their death. A stallion named shadow survived the attack on Equestria, along with 10 others. Is there another threat coming, though?

Prologue (short)

PROLOUGE ~

Ever since I was a filly, I wanted to work for E.S. , Equestria Services. Before Twilight and them had come along, the ponies who worked for the E.S. took care of any trouble in Equestria. Then Twilight and her friends started to do what the E.S did, but they did it better and faster. Many ponies lost their jobs, and the E.S was changed into a much smaller group. Five ponies were in the E.S., and they acted as Princess Celestia’s bodyguards. I was lucky enough to keep my job, though. Don’t mistake us for those Royal Guards now, they’re just for show, really. They barely have any fighting experience.

   Many years after the Everfree Forest Attack, another attack was placed on Equestria. Twilight and her friends failed to contain it. The E.S. couldn’t just rejoin and save Equestria, it was to late for that. After 3 days, Ponyville was, in a way, gone. Wiped off the map. I knew where Celestia needed to go, a place 50 miles out of Canterlot,  but no one listened. I went there, and removed my title from ever being in the E.S. ever again by doing that. Celestia’s protection plan failed, and the vault where they seemed protection collapsed on them. The Princesses were gone, and everyone that had bothered staying in Ponyville to. Canterlot, they were hit to, just not as bad. There were at lest 10 survivors there. That’s a lot considering that no one survived the attack in Equestria. The Attackers were a very strange type of pony, they were basically made out of flames.

I was stranded in this shelter, the exits had been destroyed. Finally, I found a way out, and that’s where I am now.

Exploring~ Chapter 1

“They could’ve listened to me, and things probably wouldn’t be as bad as there are now, would they?” I muttered to myself.  I knew that the attack was done, and they had gotten what they had wanted, so I decided to head back to Canterlot.  As I was walking through the foresty area, I noticed it was getting very hot.. I decided to take off my protection suit, which keeps me from flying, and go check. I flew up, and noticed smoke coming up from part of the woods, a fire. It wasn’t close to me, but I knew I should probably just fly to Canterlot. Of course, now im open to attack, just flying out in the open, but walking, well that would probably end me up getting to close to the fire. I picked up my protection suit and slung it across my back. I got a running start and flew up into the air. Suddenly I heard screams, and I tuned my head to a crumbled building. I slowed down and headed to the creepy looking building. I was planning on going insided just yet.. Something looked weird about it. But, it could be a survivor needing my help, so it could be worth it. I set a hoof inside of it, but immediately jerked it back once I had touched something sharp. I picked it up. It was a knife. I geuss it could be helpful sometime around. It looked like a house, but then I noticed what was wrong with it. It was one of those Magical Zebra’s house. There were potions strewn everywhere, and most of them were shattered. “Un-hunger +1”, read one of the bottles. I picked it up to, but then I noticed I couldn’t keep everything.  I sighed and I decided that maybe I wouldn’t really need to be using the Fire Protection Suit soon. I cut out a design of a saddlebag on it, and sewed it together with some string I had found laying on the floor. I looked outside again, two hours had passed. Did it really take me that long to make this Saddlebag?  I geuss I better find more supplys in here. I saw something else in the building to, something very rare. It was a Firefly Lamp. I doubted it would work, but I tried it out anyways. But, to my amazement, some of the fireflys were still alive. It produced a soft glow in the room. Suddenly I noticed a lot more then potions. There was some food, a flask, and some ripped leather Hoof-armor. Woot! I can’t belive my luck! I bet theres more here to! I put the the two food-bars and the flask in my saddlebag, and put the ripped boots on. I noticed a small door that had been ripped of its hinges against a wall. I removed it from it’s  spot, and noticed a large hole going to another room. I decided to test my luck and go in it. The room was very strange, there were bones just laying out in the open, some had a little bit of meat on them. I slowly started to back out when I ran into something. It was a cross between a rabit and a chipmunk, but warped into the creepiest thing, ever. I jumped back and wielded the small knife I had gotten from the room above. Crap! “St-Stay Back you muta-“ I said As it jumped on me. It sunk its teeth into my left shoulder. I squinted my eyes at it and rolled it on its back, with me on top. It squealed, not able to get up and defenseless. I finished it off and quickly left the room. I was just about to step outside and leave, when I smelt something. It smells just like a fire-OH CRAP HOW COULD I FORGET! I quickly secured my saddlebags, and took of into the air as fast as I could. I winced from the pain in my shoulder, I geuss that would be the next thing to take care of. Suddenly I heard the scream again, but it was in the direction of where the fire was. It could be another survivor! But-No. Im going to rescue whoever is out there. I quickly flew towards the direction of the fire, and the heat went up as I set off to find whoever was out there.
