Length: 614

Set before the story of Littlepip, Oasis tells the story of a darker Equestrian Wasteland. This is a time before heroes, when nopony is worth saving. Nothing good can come from leaving the safety of a stable.

In the Wasteland, there is no hope. There is no point in living, and there is no reason to fight. Day to day survival is all that matters to most. Some have gained power, usually by obtaining simple weapons like guns, and a study supply of food. These ponies terrorize those who are just trying to survive.

For a stable dweller, there is no reason to open their door. There is no reason to venture forth, no reason to fight for others. There is safety in the stable. But there comes a time when some find the need to leave the stable. They must learn to survive in the wasteland. Will it eat away at their soul, and leave them as ruthless as all others, or will they stay a shining beacon of light for the wasteland?

This is a work in progress. Chapters will be released one at a time, often with some mistakes. Chapters will be edited as they are released. I plan on making this as long as the original, but it will take some time. Writing a novel this big is not easy.

Introduction

Equestria was a perfect land, filled with magic and wonder. Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies lived together in harmony, and kept the land stable, and safe. Two princesses -Alicorn sisters- governed them; they were goddesses compared to the others, holding such power that could raise the sun and moon. Fortunately for their subjects, their power did not corrupt them, and they stayed benevolent. Equestria was in a state of lasting peace.

It was a peace that could not last. Sooner or later a war would break out, and the ponies would not be able to handle it. They would have no experience with the atrocities that come with conflict of this magnitude. War was the perfect contrast to the lives they were living. Despite the Princesses’ best efforts, tensions began to rise between Equestria, and their trading neighbors, the Zebras. A war was brewing.

And finally, after debates, negotiations, and peace talks, war finally came. It was horrible; a vast and sweeping nightmare that engulfed the continent. No Equestrian was prepared for it. The entire country had to shift from their carefree lives, to fighting a war. Six friends were called in by the princesses to help them lead the war. These six were keepers on an unimaginable power, a power that rivaled the princesses themselves. The six formed various ministries, organizations focused on specific war efforts.

The ministries failed spectacularly. In an attempt to create a device that would stop death, the Ministry of Peace created mega-spells. These spells could be deployed over large areas, and would heal all who had died within that zone. Fluttershy, the ministry director, gave the Zebras mega-spells, so they too could heal the fallen. The Zebras had other plans for them.

Both sides weaponized the mega-spells. What was once used for healing and good, was used to create a large amount of death, very quickly. The war took a turn. Front line fighting became scarcer, and was replaced with espionage, spies, and assassinations. The Equestrians and the Zebras threatened to end one another, but neither side wanted to die themselves. Each waited for the other to launch the first spell.

To end war once and for all, the Zebras decided to fire first. Fire rained from the sky, and the earth was consumed. Plants, animals, and ponies were instantly evaporated, and those who survived the blast died soon after. The world became dark, and desolate. Few things survived, and what was left was not unaffected by the mass amounts of magic energy that lingered from the spells.

For a fortunate few, not all was lost. During the war, Stable-Tec created underground Stables. These large vaults could house hundred, if not thousands of ponies, and would be able to sustain them for near eternity, should the worst happen. When the worst did happen, many were able to take refuge in the Stables, and ponies lived on.

These Stables would come to shape the wasteland. One stable-dwelling unicorn in particular would fix the Equestrian wastes. Around the time she emerged from her stable, others rose up to fight against the evil that they lived in. Equestria got a second chance, and became a safer place for all. It started to change back into its original form of utopia.

But those times have not come yet. Right now, Equestria is still a hellhole. Few heroes exist. Those who try to fight for others are killed. The rule of the wasteland is “Live for yourself. Nopony is worth fighting for.” Equestria is a dark place, still ruled by the strongest. Rape, murder, theft, and greed are commonplace, everyday things. And of course there is war.

Because war never changes.
