The Parasprite Wars

Day One

It started out so fast…One moment the town was full of laughter; ponies singing songs and swapping stories…I remember Pinkie Pie was gathering supplies for a celebration.  I don’t remember what we were celebrating…

One moment everything was perfect, and the next…The sun was blotted out by what we all had thought was a storm cloud.  But it was so strange; the Weather Patrol told us there wouldn’t be any rain for the next two days…And that’s when it happened.

Thousands of those small, wide eye’d things descended on Ponyville.  Everypony was in shock; we’d never seen such strange and adorable creatures before.  They landed on our hooves and heads, snuggling up against us.  Then they showed their viciousness.

The creatures we would learn to call ‘parasprites’ began eating everything from our homes to our food.  We evacuated the town while they were busy feasting on the library; the unicorn Twilight Sparkle trying to fight them off to save her books, but eventually being dragged out of the collapsing library by that orange mare from the Apple family.  The mayor began reading off names from the town registry as we sat on the outskirts, watching our town crumble.  I’ll never forget the name of the pony who never answered; the first life taken by those monstrous creatures: Fluttershy.
