Intro

Why...Why did this all have to happen? Nothing is the same, so many dead, so many are suffering. -cries- All I wanted was to live a normal life, none of this war bullshit!

This just ruined everything and I want it all back, I want my life back, my friends, family, loved ones and my brother...Why did he have to go! Doesn’t he care for me, he said he’d always be there for me when I needed him the most but he lied. It was all a lie! A lie!

This entry was found next to a pegasus carcass along with other two ponies, both pegasus. One a stallion and one a foal. Their bodies were beyond recognition due to massive bites and burns, subjects. The old ponies were holding their hooves but it seemed like the writer did this before taking her last breath. Not many are sure on why this war started, many believe it started in Ponyville but even now it does not matter...

Only thing that matters is surviving, everypony for themselves during these times...

Chapter 1

The Beginning

It was a pretty nice day, a few clouds here and there and the wind felt nice. Fluttershy, Scootaloo and I were in Sweet Apple Acres looking for Scootaloo’s clubhouse. Since it was on a private part of the farm it was taking us a while to find it. I was surprised by how few trees were here, like 5 or 7 in random areas of this place. Scootaloo was leading the pack while I stayed closed to Fluttershy, we both eyed each other a few times and smiled.

“You guys excited as I am?” asked Scootaloo.

I nodded my head, “You bet, where is this place anyway?” I asked.

“Not too far now.” she replied, “Just keep following me.”

“I wonder what this occasion is about.” asked Fluttershy.

I shrugged, “Could be a party for all we know. Wonder if Pinkie will be there since it could a party.”

“I think we’d know if it was a party,” said Fluttershy, “Wouldn’t there be loud music and something exploding in the back?”

I gave her a look and smiled, “Fair point.” I nudged her nose and chuckled as she blushed and hid in her mane.

“Oh give me a break.” whined Scootaloo.

We laughed as Scootaloo starting to gag and stick her hoof into her mouth. I’m sure later on she’ll find a pony and do the same things we’re doing now. Wonder when that day will come, just hope it isn’t some carefree filly that acts out. I hate those type of ponies and they annoy everypony so much I can’t stand it. Why do they even do that anyway? Is there a reason or are they just plain dumb?

“Hey we’re close!” shouted Scootaloo, “Come on!”

She started running and and we picked up the pace, few seconds later she suddenly stopped which caught me off guard and I flopped to my face. I could hear them both giggling behind me as I got up and wiped my face. Luckily the grass made it a soft land but now I have grass blood all over my face. I also had a mouth full of dirt and grass, it didn’t taste too well and I quickly spit it out.

“You ok?” asked Scootaloo, still giggling.

“Yeah.” I replied, “The ground tastes weird.”

“Maybe you should watch your step.” laughed Fluttershy.

I stuck my tongue out at them and wiped off the remaining crud off my face. Once I was finished I turned around to see a treehouse in the middle of this patch land. There were no apple trees in sight for a few yards but the house was pretty well made. It had a neat looking stairway that would drop down and pull up while you were inside. I’ve never really seen a treehouse in my whole life so I was having a little childhood moment while the others walked over to the stairs.

They both stopped and turned to me, “You ok?” asked Fluttershy, “Yeah you didn’t hit your head again did you?” questioned Scootaloo.

I shook my head, “I just never seen a treehouse before so i’m kinda having a moment here...” I smiled in awe.

Fluttershy walked over to me and hugged me tightly, “It’s more amazing inside.” she said calmly, “Come and see for yourself.”

I turned red and nodded my head, “S-sure...” I said quietly before being taken in.

Inside I was even more amazed by the way it looked, it looked small outside but inside was so much more bigger. You could fit a family of 10 or more in here and still have room for them to not be crowded. I felt a little kid again exploring the things you could miss so easily that are shown in plain sight. Once I had my moment Fluttershy brought me over to a row of chairs where Applejack and Rarity were at. We took our seats and started up a chat with them.

“Howdy Cerulean and Fluttershy.” greeted Applejack, “How yall doing?” she asked.

“Good day you two.” greeted Rarity, “I hope you’re doing alright.” she said.

We nodded our heads, “We’re doing fine.” I said, “Yeah nothing too exciting really.” said Fluttershy.

Applejack chuckled, “Coming from you two I doubt that.” she said.

“Applejack!” snapped Rarity, “You must respect one’s personal life.” she said firmly.

“Oh lighten up miss prissy pants.” replied Applejack, “Just teasing yall.”

I laughed, “We’re doing pretty well.” I said happily, “Didn’t think this would happen to be honest.”

“What do you mean?” asked Rarity.

“Well you know how we-” Scootaloo barged in and interrupted Fluttershy, “Hey, anypony seen Applebloom and Sweetie Belle?” she asked frantically.

We shook our heads, “Why are we here again?” asked Rarity.

“It’s a surprise.” replied Scootaloo, “Ugh! Where are they?!” she complained.

The door suddenly flew open and walked in were two fillies, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, “There ya are.” said Applebloom, “We’ve been looking all over for you.” complained Sweetie Belle.

“I should say the same for you two.” argued Scootaloo, “Lets get this started.” she said.

The three put on their capes they wore for their crusader meetings and walked over to a stand that stood in front of the chairs. They walked boldly with their heads high up and their eyes closed but Sweetie Belle ended up smacking into a wall and fell back. Applebloom and Scootaloo seemed unamused and told her to stop fooling around. Blushing with embarrassment Sweetie Belle got up, dusted herself and joined her crusader friends.

Applebloom cleared her throat and spoke, “Thank you for coming on short notice.” she said, “Today we brought yall here to celebrate for an amazing achievement we made.” she smiled, “Bab Seed, ma cousin, has been able to get our business out into the public and we’ve also been receiving letters telling us about how many new members join and how more crusader places are opening up. This is a huge success and we brought you all here to have a party. Food and drinks will be in shortly, have fun!” she exited the stand and brought in a cart of food, drinks and a stereo and the party started.

“Huh so that's what this is all about.” said Applejack, “Oh what the hay, lets party!”

She got off her chair and started dancing like no tomorrow, Rarity joined her and they both danced while the foals watched and made jokes. As for Fluttershy and I we just hanged back and ate while the others had fun. We’re not much for dancing but we have fun talking to each other anyway. A few hour passed by and the sun was starting set. That was our signal to leave since we had to clean our animals today, they can get pretty smelly if you don’t wash them for 3 months.

“You ready to go?” asked Fluttershy.

I nodded my head, “Yeah, i’ll just let Scoo-...” something caught my attention, “What’s that?”

I looked out the window and saw a strange creature flying around, it was pretty big but I couldn’t make it out. The sun was behind it so it just looked like a flying shadow but it flew in circles and nothing more. I watched it carefully, wondering what is doing then suddenly, it left in a hurry. Just as it left something started coming out of the trees from where the creature hovered over. My eyes widened as I realized our home was there and what was rising from it.

“What is it?” asked Fluttershy.

I quickly turned to her, “We got smoke coming from our house.” I said in a serious tone.

Her eyes widen, “The animals...We gotta go now!” she said.

I nodded my head and we made our way to the door but were stopped by Applejack and others, “Wow there sugarcube.” she said, “Where ya two going in such a hurry? I understand you two-” I pushed her aside and opened the door, “We got fire coming from our home!”

“What!?” screamed everypony.

Fluttershy and I quickly flew out and made our way to our home. As we got closer a black cloud began to surround us, it was getting hot and the air suddenly felt like it wasn’t there. By the time we got to our home there was fire everywhere and animals running in all directions. I watched in horror as everything around us was being burnt to crisp. Soon a rush of anger and fear came to me but I ignored and turned to Fluttershy.

“You stay here while I go check if they all made it out.” I ordered.

She nodded her head and I flew inside, inside the whole place was filled with smoke and flames. I quickly checked every rabbit, mouse and bird cages and holes and luckily they were all empty. Once I was sure no animal was inside I made my way for the door but stopped as it collapsed in front of me, taking away my only escape from this burning house.

Quickly losing my breath I ran upstairs checked the rooms to see if I could find a window or something to let me out. While checking the rooms I decided to quickly grabbed Fluttershy and Scootaloo’s satchels including mine and filled them with stuff we held dearly. For Scootaloo, the badge Rainbow Dash gave her from the Wonderbolt Academy and a picture. For Fluttershy, a picture book, a letter and a picture. For me the two letters I wrote for Fluttershy and a picture. The pictures I took had all three of us sitting together and smiling.

Once I grabbed everything I turned around and noticed the door quickly being covered in flames. Cursing at myself I looked around and saw a window that led to the outside, meaning my way out of this burning house. I rushed over to it and pushed it but was shocked when it didn’t budge but made a whining sound letting you know it was jammed. Running out of time and air I took a few steps back, readied my wings, and jetted towards the window.

The window shattered as I smashed through and I wasn’t a moment too soon either. When I turned around I watched my house collapsed to the ground and burn to ash. Tears soon began to blur my vision but then I felt light headed and plummeted to the ground. Dazed and disoriented I walked around until I stumbled to Fluttershy and the others. They didn’t noticed I was there until I coughed and tried to catch my breath. The second they heard me  Fluttershy and Scootaloo quickly rushed to me and held me tightly.

I groaned in pain and they quickly pulled away, when I looked up I noticed blood and glass was smeared over them. They screamed in horror as they saw the shape I was in, I had burns, glass, ash and blood all over me. I was still dizzy and sat down quickly and tried to catch my breath. I breathed in too much smoke into my lungs and I felt like I could pass out in any moment.

“Somepony do something!” screamed Fluttershy.

“Move aside.” ordered Rarity, “I know a spell that heal him but it won’t heal him completely.” she said sadly.

She used a heal spell on me that made some of the burns go away and the smoke clear up too. I was able to stand again and breath normally but the glass was still cutting into my body. Luckily Applejack and to the others removed the glass shards off me and did their best not to make it worse. Once they finished I turned around to watch the last bit of our house burn away. Only the roof was left and it was quickly giving way to the fire.

Fluttershy, Scootaloo and I cried quietly at the fact we lost our home. We had so many good memories and just like that, it’s all gone but not all of it. Remembering the satchels I gave them their satchels and they smiled as they took out what was inside them. They held me tightly once more, still crying but I held them closely. I know this is hard but at least we have something remember the house by. We held each other for what seemed like hours, I didn’t let them go until they stopped crying. After a few minutes they pulled away from and watched the remains of our house burn.

Seconds later I realized the fire was making its way to Ponyville and my heart began pounding. If we don’t get there in time they won’t be able to stop it.

I turned to the others, “We gotta warn Ponyville before it's too late.” I said.

Everypony’s eyes widened as they realized where the fire was heading, “Shoot we’re like miles away!” said Applejack.

I quickly started running, “Come on!” I shouted, “We can’t let the same thing happen to them!”

I was already ahead of everypony but I didn’t slow down for them, I can’t slow down or Ponyville is history. My body screamed in pain but I ignored it and used the pain to make me run faster. I pushed myself faster and faster, not caring what my body says but suddenly I tripped and fell face first to the ground. I wasted no time in getting up and I was back running again but I stopped again and dropped to my knees. My eyes were in disbelief, I thought we could make it...

In front of me was Ponyville, covered in flames, ponies everywhere ran and screamed. They begged for help and others ran while burning alive.

I dropped my head in horror, “We were too late...”
