A Mare's Search for Meaning

by Silent Shade
What do you do when you wake up in a strange place and have somehow lost your memories? Fly fast and get answers. This rainbow colored pegasus has plenty of the first but could use more of the latter...

Language. The fact that our brains program themselves to be able to speak the words we know of to communicate, and give those sounds meaning. But do we ever think of the significance in the meaning of a word, a thing, a name?

An amnesiac Rainbow Dash wakes up... somewhere, and DEFINITELY not in Equestria. Follow our favorite prismatic pegasus as she takes on a new name and the strange land she has awoken to; As she learns the history of how the home-place of ponies have existed in a neigh-perpetual state of war and as well as the history that brought her to this foreign continent. As she searches for the meaning of love, war, hate, peace - the meaning in a name.

"My name was Rainbow Dash? Seriously?! Was that the most original thing somepony could come up with!?"
"Hey, you could say 'Prizma' is just as cliche."
"SHUT UP!"

“The war which is coming is not the first one. There were other wars before it. When the last one came to an end there were conquerors and conquered. Among the conquered the common people starved. Among the conquerors the common people starved too.”
― Bertolt Brecht
