Prologue. (R)

"Jacob, I'm... I'm hungry. So hungry." This was the one sentence I've been hearing these past weeks. Our tribe has been starving for weeks. Frankly I'm very surprised we've made it this long. With the changlings getting restless and the Queen killing more than she needs. It just keeps getting worse. The worst part though is what this entry is about. The invaision that wiped out our race. The stories of the Celestial sisters invasion was told everyday at every time. At breakfast, lunch, dinner, and for the littlest ones as a nap time story, even as a bed time story it was my job to let my tribe know how our people fell. But now the stories don't fascinate this generation. All my tribe now cares about is peace and stupid adventures. I try to convince them of how the ponies are terrible creatures but they won't listen, I tell them we will survive without their help but they won't listen, I try to convince the changelings to help us... But they won't listen. I feel the tribe losing there faith in me quickly. I apologize to my parent for I have failed them. Because tomorrow, I'll have to lead the tribe through the forest. Tomorrow we will try to make peace with the ponies. Each second I think about it, the more I hate myself. Peace!? With the creatures who killed and slaughtered as many as they could!? And when they grew tired of killing they turned millions of us humans into ponies. I hate this... I hate this! But, I must do what I must to keep us alive. Tomorrow, Joey, Jason, Karyn, and Tom, will join me to find the nearest town. Bobby, Thomas, Lain, and Christopher will be staying behind to watch the little ones.

     Jacob put the leaders log down on the makeshift nightstand. The nightstand once owned by his father. The log was kept by previous leaders of the tribe and holds a vast Knowledge of the human race before the Celestial sisters invasion. Inside of his worn, smelly and dirty tent Jacob sat, looking at what he had just written down in the book. It was disgusting and horridly wrong. But no matter how badly he didn't want this, it had to be done. Outside he heard the little ones crying and he sighed. It's nap time. Jacob walked outside of his worn and old tent and into the camp center. He looked around at all his "citizens", as his dad called them, and he couldn't help sighing. Everything was going great in the past decade. When jacobs father founded the Human and Changeling treaty 40 years ago the tribe grew exponentially, they provided for eachother food, safety, and a common enemy. It was perfect. Then, jacobs mother died...the only thing is she was healthy at the time. She never travel far outside the territorial boundries. Suspicions of a murder spread like wildfire, and all hate was centered at the changlings. Mainly their queen. Ever since, food supplies dwindled, starvation took its toll on our parents, and the changlings kept letting the beasts of the Everfree get closer and closer. Most of the children's parents died from these horrid beasts. Then jacobs father grew deathly ill, and in his dying breath appointed him as the new leader of the tribe. A mistake he wish his father could take back. jacob shook his head to try to clear his head, though giving him a headache he at  least had something else to think about. Jacob walked over to the biggest tent in the camp. As soon as he walked inside the crying turns to screams of joy as the little ones smile at the sight of the one who puts them to bed each night. Jacob loved this part of the day, the end of it. Where he could rest in his dreams.

     "It's nap time little ones.". Jacob said as he started to tuck the first child into bed. "Good night Charlie, Sleep tight Tommy, don't let the bed bugs bite Sarah, and sleep well Jake.". Jacob starts to leave but is stopped by Karyn, the second oldest and second tallest. She wore a long skirt that was worn by her mother who was attacked by Timberwolves. It was too big but Karyn insisted that it was her favorite. Jacob looked at her bright blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair and her white teeth and smiled. He always has had a tiny crush on her but it never showed.

     "It's tradition to tell the little one the story before a expedition." Jacob raises his eyebrow and Karyn raises hers.

     "Is that so? I don't remember reading that in the log."

     "Your going into our most hated enemies territory to discuss peace. I believe you should tell them yourself. Just in case.". Karyn says with puppy dog eyes. At least... That's what their parent told him what it was. Jacob frowned and sighed.

     "You father warned me about you when they passed.". Jacob turned to the little ones and smiled.

     "Hello little ones. Would you like me to tell you the story tonight?". Jacob said with little hopes to get out of this. His hopes were crushed as the everyone nodded and smiled real big. The leader sighed and began to talk.

     Earth, the most beautiful planet in the solar system. People were nice to each other. No one stole, no one fought, no one hated, and no one hungered. It was the most beautiful of days. The birds sang almost in a perfect chorus, the animals parched, skittered, and galloped. None, not one human thought it could ever happen. In a city named New York, that's where everything fell apart. As all the humans of New York walked out of there houses the sun began to glow bright, blinding everyone who was out side at the time. Now in the middle of this great city, was the magnificent Central Park. Now when the blinding light stopped everyone who wasn't deaf heard an explosion go off right in the middle. As the dust cleared and everyone regained sight and their hearing they saw Two of the most beautiful and elegant horses any human had even seen. The most unique things about these horses was the fact that both of them had big beautiful wings withe feathers glistened and shined and both had a single horn atop their heads. One had fur of bright white and it's mane and tail were the colors of a nice summer evening. The other had dark blue fur with its mane and tail had the colors of the night. Their manes and tail even flowed in a non existent wind. The two horses were the most beautiful beings any human had ever laid their eyes on. In obvious human nature the people began to crowd around these magnificently and beutifully impossible creatures. They stayed quiet and so did the horses. Finally a human was able to utter a single word.

     "They're beautiful.". The white one looked at the human and somehow it looked as if it smiled as if I understood. The horse spread one wing and the feathers motioned for the man to come closer. The man walked slowly towards the horses, as soon as he got just a foot close to them the blue ones horn glowed and the mans eyes widened. The crowd watched in complete horror as the mans bones and body began to morph into something unrecognizable. When it stopped the man was now a horse. He was smaller than the two horses and he possessed only wings. His fur was a dark red and his mane and tail a dark blue. The man turns around in a small circle and looked a every human looking at him. And then the unthinkable happened. The used to be man starts to cry, and scream things in what sounds like complete gibberish. The white pony nuzzles him and glares at every human standing there. She muttered something to the blue one... And both of their horns gl-

     Jacob is interrupted when he sees the little ones snoring away. His attention goes to Karyn who at the time was next to the little ones. She is now asleep as well. He chuckled silently to himself as he  walked out of the tent he sighs and he towards his tent. Once inside he layed in bed looking at the leaders log. As he stares he is reminding how much he has insulted his ancestors and how worried he is for tomorrow. Soon his eye lids grow ever heavy and he slips into a deep sleep. Where he can rest in the place where one man can get. His dreams.
