30 years after the war

"Hanz Stickyhooves has finally been released from his imprisonment in the Trottingham prison, most ponies should know that this is the same Hanz that used to own the Stickyhooves glue factory back in Cloudsdale. He was arrested 6 years ago for assisting the Luna rebels during the war, since then he has written a book titled “Neigh Kampf” which become very popular among the unicorns, so popular in fact that more than 200 of them showed up wearing black trench coats with badges on them. One of the unicorns explained that wearing the badge makes them feel more united with the community of Hanz fans; “I’m just glad to be free and to be able to move on with my life” Hanz answered when ask how it felt to be released “it’s really amazing to see so many of my fellow unicorns here today, even though it’s mostly because of my book.” Hanz was giving the opportunity to obtain ownership of his factory but declined stating “I’ve had a long time to think about this and right now I feel it is best to not resume ownership of the factory, like I said earlier I want to move on with my life, catch up on world events and explore Equestria.”

Florentine glanced at the article and felt hollow “if we didn’t have this stupid censorship law I would have had a more color opinion on that unicorn” she thought looking away from the article and out the octagon window the sky was still an unsightly crimson red, the green mare trotted away from her desk and to her bathroom. Admiring her yellow Hime cut mane in the mirror Florentine grabbed a brush and left the bathroom, she made her way out of her room and headed towards her mothers, the door to her room was closed so Florentine knocked on it with the brush in her mouth. “Mom can you brush my hair for me please”, the green mare asked in a sweet voice, her mother didn’t respond “that’s odd” Florentine thought “mom usually doesn’t go to bed until 9 0’ clock at night" she knocked again but was answered with nothing but silence, fearing the worst Florentine yelled “mom if you don’t answer me I’m going bust in.” After a few seconds of waiting Florentine pushed open the door with her hoof and rushed in, “mom are you okay” Florentine asked while scanning the room what she saw confused her, the light her mother produced was an unnatural lavender what was even stranger was the creature putting it’s paw on her head, the blood orange creature turned it’s head towards Florentine with it’s deep piercing blue eyes.

Florentine reacted quickly and bashed the creature in the face with the brush backing up the creature covered it’s face with both paws Florentine then quickly turned her flank towards the creature then bucked it with both back hooves knocking it back and crashing into a wall. Florentine examined the creature after making sure it was knocked out before looking at her mother “mom” she exclaimed worriedly “are you okay” her mother was snoring “damn she’s asleep, oh well better think of what to do with this thing” Florentine decided to tie up the creature which wasn’t an easy task. The Fox had a headache when he woke up, to his surprise he was tied to a chair “well this seems familiar” he grumbled analyzing the room, there was a table in front of him, the table itself had scratches and stains that made it seem old and unkempt what made it more unusual though was that the wood it seemed to be made out of didn’t look like most of the wood used to make furniture in Equestria. To the left of the table was a sink beside that a dishwasher that for some odd reason was pink, everything else seemed unremarkable and bland, the light brown cabinets to the gray tile floor it seemed to the Fox that this room was for the making and eating of food there was a word Hanz told him that defined this room.

“It’s a kitchen,” he said aloud to no one

“yeah it is,” a green mare with yellow hair confirmed “nice work you cracked the case detective” the mare praised in a mocking tone, “so do you have a name” asked the mare pressing a button on the silver device and placing it on the table, the Fox was silent as he stared at the mare, Florentine became impatient then asked with more force in her voice “what are you can you at least tell me that” the Fox didn’t understand the question shouldn’t the mare already know what he is? “I’m a fox” he answered in a weak voice now that he was fully awake he could feel pain shoot all through his body but mostly his face and back, the mare looked at the Fox with an almost astounded expression “so they are real” she said aloud

“what?” Asked the Fox, the mare ignored him and left the kitchen she returned a with an old tattered journal, flopping it on the table made it creek under the journal’s weight “okay she said turning the pages of the journal. The Fox tried to see what the mare was looking up but couldn’t on account of being tied up, as the green Pegasus stopped on the page she was searching for, the Fox decided it was a good time to ask “what’s your name?”

“Florentine” she replied

“how long do you intend to keep me tied up” the Fox questioned, thinking about Fluttershy and the consequences of not fulfilling his task.

“How about this, I ask you few questions and depending on how you answer them I’ll either call the police, or untie you so you can be on your way.”

“Seems fair enough shoot” the Fox replied in an excited voice

“okay, first question, what island are you from”

“I have no idea” the Fox answered

“okay then, did you support the Luna rebels during the war” Florentine asked

“There was a war?” asked the Fox “I don’t remember a war”

“Ah, now I understand” Florentine proclaimed

“well I don’t can you please tell me what happened” begged the Fox.
