The Great Equestrian War

After he left the house he continued on into what direction the shooting was coming from which was a fair trek away so he sat down with his back against a wall of the former barn. He pulled open his saddle bag and realized nothing that he had was confiscated even the book he found on the counter. He rummaged through his bag disregarding anything that could hurt him like bullets or even enemy soldiers eventually he came back to the apples he had stored from Appleusa then remembered the ones he had stored in the hay bale, it was a dumb idea he was never going back to that town again it was a good thought in the moment he was now beginning to realize that he was in likely to get out of the war alive, he sat there and reflected on that thought before taking a bite out of the apple. He was awoken back to reality at the sound of a shell hitting the floor almost 30 meters away it was a bit of a distance but it was enough to remind him he was in the middle of a war and the time for rest was not now he began into a slight jog into a sprint of which was not needed but he wanted some 'exercise' as it was a fairly silent day, or what passed for quiet in a war he came to a quiet sort of area with a kind of hill or mountain range around it to stop winds from getting in and inside the area and inside was a cloud home it seemed battered however he wanted to see it. Speed fluttered slowly up to the former house and looked around there was many tipped over things and other Speed thought it was due to quick evacuation however he couldn't be entirely certain. As he stepped thorough the doorway something fair his hoof and he fell on his face, in front of his bruised muzzle was a book simply marked on the cover 'Dashies Diary' Speed felt curious he decided to take the book along with him although he felt he was invading what seemed a female names privacy he felt he needed to to See the back story of Ponyville or places in it and to Speed it felt necessary at the time. After Speed had successfully seeped the place of anything useful or dangerous he disembarked vowing that if he survived the war he would bring it back here.

  It was soon dark and he was only just entering a destroyed town in the middle of a country at war on the battlefield. He moved cautiously building to building hoping to stay silent and not step an unlucky hoof on a landmine, Eventually he came to the conclusion rooftops were the answer. When he finally reached the end rooftop of the road he was on he noticed that the tree at the end of the village was a house or as it said on the sign above the door 'Twilight's Library'  there was a balcony at the top that Speed naturally flew to the view he got was of one horror the trenches!
