The war took it's toll on everypony, for the past 30 years family's have taken different sides, some chose princess Luna, for they wanted freedom from not just from princess Celestia but from Equestria it's self. The ones who chose princess Celestia wanted to honor and respect their goddess by never leaving the sacred land of Equestria. It was the war that changed Equestria’s fate, it changed everyone, even the inhabitants on one island, this island is where we start our story with a cool breeze and an open field fillies and colts of every color were laughing and playing with the younger inhabitants. Meanwhile the stallions and mares were conversing with the foxes the inhabitants on the island, they were providing the Luna rebellion with food and medical supplies.
The foxes were an unusual species compared to the ponies of Equestria, first off they didn't stand on four paws nor did they have cutie marks, they did however have the same ambitions as the rebels they too wished for freedom to explore the rest of the world. A fox cub by the name of Kestejoo walked up to the adults who in his presence stopped their conversation “Mother?“ Kestejoo said in a questioning tone “what are you doing here?” The orange vixen looked at the golden brown cub with ruby eyes and replied

“I am helping with the negotiations dear, what do you need of me?” Her eyes narrowed as she spoke,

“I would like to talk to Lemon Drop” the cub requested in a very confident tone, the yellow stallion with a blue mane who was conversing with a white mare who had a purple twisted mane and tail and three Diamonds as a cutie mark turned and looked at the cub.
“What do you need boy,” Lemon Drop said in a sour tone;

“I” the cub paused “I want to join the rebellion” the orange vixen's eyes widened at the statement,

“My son, ” she said “you know that the war isn't your fight, you have no right to harm the ponies fighting for their religion” the vixen lectured, getting up from the wooden chair she was sitting on and walking towards Kestejoo. “We have no need nor a right to fight, but we have an obligation to help those who are suffering.”

“Why do you want to fight boy, war isn’t a game, it’s a beast that devours everything lives, resources, sanity, my tail, ” he said, turning to his head towards his flank where his tail should have been.

“I know that war is terrible,” Kestejoo admitted in a matter of fact tone “but I can’t just sit here and grow crops while ponies I meet go off to die in Equestria, I’m not the only one that feels this way, many of us Baldawin foxes want to enlist to end this war faster.” Lemon Drop’s expression changed from anger to thought by the cubs words;

“How many?” Lemon Drop asked Kestejoo

“Around 200 of us, but with your approval, we can get the other tribes to join our cause, at least the ones that Celestia hasn’t gotten to.” Explained the young fox

“Well, that’s-” those were the last words of Lemon drop as a flash of blue energy caused his head to explode, his brain, fur, flesh and skull spread everywhere and on everypony as well as every fox in the room. The most covered was the white unicorn whose white fur became covered in red blood and pink brain, her screams got everypony’s and fox’s attention. Suddenly a loud honk could be heard out in the the ocean, a white ship bearing princess Celestia’s sun logo on the mainsail appeared; upon further inspection what looked like a cannon seemed to be inside the hull, the pony rebels started to gather the fillies, colts and the non-combatants to extraction boats, the fox”s did the same; the rebels began to arm their cannons, meanwhile the ship began to glow in the hull area, all Kestejoo could do is stand and watch as the glow began to intensify. The noise it made when it blasted the island sounded like a tortured griffin’s screech mixed with broken glass, the white holy light engulfed the whole island at first nothing happened, during this time the Luna rebels loaded and fired their cannons at the white ship . The cannons had no effect on the ship as every cannon ball that hit the ship would be reflected by a magical force that shielded the ship; Kestejoo along with his mother started running towards the escape boats on the other side of the island, when suddenly the ground began to shake furiously Kestejoo lost his footing as the ground crumbled around him he fell and all he saw was darkness.

Florentine a green mare yellow hair looked at the grave “hi dad, mom and I are doing fine, she’s-” the mare paused “what good would that do, he’s dead, no point in lying to him, ” she told herself as she sighed “mom’s not the same anymore, no one is after the war, the two princesses signed the peace treaty 5 years ago but things are still too shaky, ponies disappearing in the night, new weapons being developed. A fucking Pegasus hating cult are getting more members, I just can’t believe Rarity of all ponies would join, Rarity the Fashionista proclaimed that the Wonder bolts funding should be cut and donated to the church of Hanz Stickyhooves relief foundation, to help those affected by the war. What happened on that island dad, when mom heard about the attack and how many survivors there were she really thought you had survived, but instead we both saw the body bag that the rebels brought, we cried all night in our cramped room I couldn’t help curse Celestia for her cruelty that day. What’s funny is that was also the day I got my cutie mark.”

The sky that was clear and blue turned into a crimson red as Florentine looked up, she rubbed her eye’s with her hooves and looked up, it was unusual for the sky to be red but not unheard of; something smashed right beside Florentine, it took her a second to realize something landed towards her right. She slowly turned her head towards the right only to find nothing, nopony was around, and as she looked around there were no marks of any kind to reveal what crashed right beside her, feeling creeped out Florentine started trotting home.
