Where Evil Comes alive

Hi all
My name is Octave Twister
I've been keeping this Diary of sorts in hopes that someone will find it and hear my tale
in this Dead land known as Equestria
and i hope that you will find a land without Zombies and Creatures so Evil that it scares all even our rulers Princess Celestia and Luna.

Week 57

Hi there whom who this concerns (everyone)

Octave Twister here and i say Week 57 cause its the 57th week since the Outbreak.

So since last time i helped recover some growing materials for the Earth ponies though they mocked me for grabbing only 20 kg of it

what do they expect me to carry as much as they can while flying.

Ok moving on or this will end up with a huge Blood Feud with the Apples and i dont want to do that, due to the fact that i will be forced to submit to their demands either way if i win or lose.

Yes new topic,

So today Princess Twilight found another group of survivors holding out in the Everfree forest but they were soon to be over-run by the Shadows. She spent the rest of the day with Fluttershy in her room and from what i could hear from Pinkie Pie, she was sad about not finding them sooner so they could help them.

What i dont know is what will go on when Celestia and Luna both go to talk to the Griffon Empire about a Joint alliance to kill the Monsters that Plague this land and its beauty. But my guess is that i have to protect my loved ones and all of Canterlot along with the heroic 6, AppleJack, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, And Pinkie. They weld the Elements of Harmony but only have limited control over them as they are the spirits only but the physical elements are under the Guard of the tree of Harmony. I wish that i saw the Majestic power of the elements, luckily Twilight lets me borrow her books as long as i take care of them. Then again i usually borrow her books every week to read up on the history of Equestria and the events outside of Cloudsdale and Las Pegasus.

Though i realize now that Cloudsdale is safe, but it was overrun and the Pegasi all fled and now its a wasteland in the sky, how i know this, well i visit it every month to Honor my Mother and Father who Died during the Escape from Cloudsdale 2 weeks in.... Another story for another time, just a bit touchy right now.

So this weeks events

It was Rainbow Dash's Birthday and nobody except Pinkie Celebrated because we were instructed to Ward off Some invading Zombies, we lost a great Pony that Day though i forget her name it saddened us all and a Funeral was held though we had to Decapitate her due to the Zombie Viruses and their power of resurrection.

Based on what Twilight's studies suggest, the Zombies bite causes Transformation into one of them within 2-4 hours usually 2 for Foals and 4 for older Mares and Stallions. The Bite can cause death which causes Transformation withing 30 minutes.

I wonder what would happen if you were bitten and you amputated the bitten area, i would hope that it would stop the Virus otherwise it would hurt lots for no Gain but what i could see it was plausible.

Though i wonder what really caused all this and why this would happen in the first place...

My theories probably wont make much sense.

Well i think that in the next few weeks i will probably volunteer to scout for stuff and hopefully get to be promoted to lieutenant cause that would be awesome!!

Hi My name is Octave Twister, I'm a Young Pegasus Stallion of 20 years and i live in the worst time in Equestria's history

Even worse than Discord's First Reign,I live in the time of the Nightmares the time of Darkness.

Most ponies have fled for different lands or have perished but us that stay here in Equestria face daily doom and certainty of death and the ponies that have remained reside in the now fortified Canterlot, under the protection spells of the greatest unicorns of the land.

But as time goes on even we have to see these creatures in our sleep under Luna's light.

But i'm sure you want to know what caused this... i would too if i were you, so it was a sunny day in the vibrant land of Equestria on the day of the summer sun celebration, the 4th year after the return of Princess Luna, the forests of Equestria suddenly gave way to reveal treasure, but on entering the ponies became monsters- and the 3 residing Princesses decided to send investigative teams to all the sites and evacuate all ponies from these areas.

But they were too late; a sickness spread through Equestria covering all the Coastal cities and some small town, making all the residents sick and unable to work.

Weeks later they started to die and resurrect as Evil Creatures only mentioned in Equestrian legend... Zombies and shadow beings.

Everything that lived outside the protective spell coming from Canterlot's range died on contact with the Evil mist, it controlled everything then faded away after 2 months after the initial Outbreak, the loss of life was many yet the survivors realized that they had to go out there to find supplies until the unicorns of Canterlot could create food creation spells or the Earth Ponies could make some Farms.

And thats what has happened up until now

Just death and destruction

Yet the Princesses doubt the security as of a month ago, i believe that we can survive
