The world has gone to hell. Everyone has turned against each other. Luna has learned how to harness the powers of nightmare moon and has raised an army, Celestia is desperately trying to defend her people. Canterlot has been raised to the ground. Pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies have chosen sides. The changelings are involved as well. The elements of harmony are now great warriors,  fighting for whoever they think is right. For four years I have watched as homes were destroyed, families torn apart, whole cities ransacked. But recently i have found a small valley in the old Canterlot mountains where a small village of every type of pony live in relative peace. How long will this peace last? i cant say for certain. But for... for the first time in years... i can rest safely.

My name is Dash, just Dash. I don't tell anyone my last name. I never know anyone long enough to tell them. I'm not your every day pony. There's some things about me that.. well... most are better off not knowing. I'm safer like that, they are safer like that, everyone is happy... kinda. I can fly, I can do limited magic, and i can fight. Oh, and I can survive. That's the most important skill you can have in this war, survival. Without it your as good as dead. See, the war has pretty much destroyed everything, and i mean EVERYTHING. Most of Equestria is a wasteland, and while the major fighting has moved on there are still plenty of dangers to be had. There are wild animals, rogue spells, dangerous weather, bandits, rogue squads from past battles, unexploded ordnance, and many many more I have yet to discover. That's why I'm writing this journal, to try to learn everything I can to survive. Hopefully i can help others survive as well, but that doesn't seem likely. I just hope I'm strong enough to survive to the end.........
