PROLOGUE
First comes the light. The shimmer of a wall, and promises of a better future through friendship. And then, a man’s voice, tired with age.
“Yes,” he says. “I’ve been to The Wall. I’ve been through it. I’ve been to Equestria.”
He chuckled and shook his head. “It isn’t so special to most people anymore, but I went there. In fact, I was the first human to set foot on their soil. First human to breathe their air.”
Then, the light was gone. The spectrum of what lay beyond it nothing but a memory. The digital noise of the tablet’s video recorder replacing it. He looks up. Worry lines and creases deepened where his brows have been furrowed one too many times over a long and difficult life. His grey eyes, once blue, were glistening in the glow of the organic lighting.
“I…I started something that I couldn’t undo. I am responsible for everything that’s happened. Everything. I may have saved them. But in doing so…I destroyed us.”
