The Burning of Canterlot
Load Full StoryNext ChapterBlossom walked through the busy streets of Canterlot. Her brain slightly throbbed, making her mentally groan. The sky was clear except for the clouds on the horizon. She stopped at a booth and looked over the produce. "I even got apples all the way from Sweet Apple Acres!" Blossom smiled and bought some apples, handing over some bits she headed home.
~Time Skip~
inside an apartment Blossom laid on her bed fast asleep, oblivious to the world outside. Outside the sun had set and clouds had covered most of the sky, sending darkness over the city as large groups of soldiers blocked the entrance to Canterlot. The civilians unknowing of the soldiers walking through their city. The captain held a strange device in his hands. It began to beep loudly and he stopped. "Set fire to the city."
was all he said and the soldiers ran through the city, pulling out lighters and explosives and that's when the city went to burn.
BOOM!
Blossom yelped and fell from her bed, she stood up and looked around. She heard a faint crackle and felt a large migraine set in. "Ugh!" she groaned.
staggering from her room to the kitchen and opening the cabinet. She pulled out a bottle and opened it.
"Why?" she asked silently, chugging the bottle which was full of pills. The migraine instantly turned to a dull throb.
"Weird. Normally it goes away entirely." she stood up and headed to her window, only to be greeted with a horrible sight. Fire was bursting through windows, people were fleeing and screaming.
She heard explosives go off and buildings were caving in on certain spots. Blossom gasped, turning to her kitchen, grabbing her satchel she filled her bag with plenty of food and several water bottles. She was confused as alarms went off through the city.
She grabbed all the bottles of pills and dumped them into her bag. She ran to her bedroom, grabbing her savings and several pieces of clothing. She ran to her door only to find it jammed shut. She groaned and placed her hands on the doors.
With a sudden burst of purple and green light the door was entwined in vines and ripped off the hinges. Blossom grabbed her hoodie and ran through the door frame, jumping over the shattered remains of the door and was only a couple feet away from her doorway when it exploded into flames. Blossom screamed and ran from the fire, throwing herself down the stairs.
She found debri and several other things scattered among the stairs, the stairway exploding into flames behind her.
She ran to the street. There were people running around screaming. She pulled her hood over he head and headed for the gates, only to find lines of debris blocking them. Blossom felt tears fill her eyes.
The city was becoming devoured in fire, burning people to death or suffocating them inside falling debris, slowly.....painfully. Blossom shook her head, pushing the painful thoughts from her mind, she jumped onto the piles of debris, being careful. There was cries and screams as people fled from their homes.
Then the ground shook with a giant explosion and Blossom fell off the crumbled pillar she was trying to climb. She spun around to see a flaming building crumbling towards the ground at a frightening speed. She looked up to see planes flying over them, bombs diving down on the city. She turned to see a cloud of debris heading towards her.
She saw several bombs heading her direction as well. With no second thoughts Blossom dived into a small space provided between the debris, dust flew through the hole as the debris covered the hole, trapping Blossom inside as the world went quiet.
After several minute Blossom pushed at the concrete chunks above her, letting in the light as she was freed from her hiding. The sky was covered in clouds, some of them being smoke from the still going fires.
Blossom turned to the city she knew as home her whole life.
Tears filled her eyes as she watched buildings collapse. She turned and climbed over the debris and landed on the other side. Then the city exploded behind her. She stared for several minutes before the clouds began to pour onto the city.
Blossom turned around and fled, tears falling from her face the entirety of the way as she headed to the only place she knew safe. Appleoosa.
