To Forever Carry On

I come home through the door after another draining day, head upstairs, put my backpack down, take a shower, and go to bed. I don't do much on a regular basis. I lie in bed thinking, dreaming, and wishing about things I could do, but I always  told myself that I would never have the chance to to accomplish those things,but that night, that night was different. I went to bed, fell asleep, and what only felt like three seconds later I woke back up I felt grass, leaves, and gravel. I quickly stood up, and found myself in a forest when I noticed a few friends of mine lying next to me, I was attending high school with them at the time, I shook them awake

“ guys, guys wake up wake up! do you know where we are?”

They all Rose up, and were baffled as much as I was. we had no idea where we were, and as we investigated our surroundings that's when I saw the smoke, then the fires, and then the flags. We were in the middle of a war-torn Equestria. different empires, and factions splitting the the land I could tell that all of this was in chaos but then I thought to myself

“this is it! this is your chance! you can bring those dreams to life here and now! this is your chance handed to you on a platter, take it!”

so I clench my fist and when I did I felt something on my wrist I looked it was a pip-boy, I opened up the inventory and saw that all of my game stats were there as if they were meant to be there.

“well at least I'm stocked on quite literally everything”

I thought, then after reassuring my friends of our current state on supplies,and that we are going to be fine they seemed to calm down a little but were still baffled at our predicament and so was I.

“ well we should go to Ponyville there we can probably get a good start”

“a good start on what?”

“you'll see”

as we walk down the path I find a map in my pip-boy showing all the different factions and empires and where their territory lines are drawn. “I have to do this, for us all, to forever carry on.” as we walk down the path I try my best to walk with confidence, but I know that we are bound to run into someone eventually and they're more likely to be hostile than friendly.

"I'll take point, stay behind me and stay close"

As we exited the forest and approached a rail line I went into my Pep Boys inventory and equipped in some heavy armor and a good rifle. We followed the tracks for about a quarter of a mile, but it was starting to get dark so we decided to settle down for the night. we made sure to stay close to the train tracks but out of sight the closest faction to the southwest the Brotherhood of Steel and to the north the Russians.

"Do you even know where were going?"

I look to Rakerd.

"I have a map on my pipboy I'm certain of where we're going"

He shrugs it off and goes to sleep, he doesn't question a lot. I was concerned Torreon the most. Thompson seems like he can handle himself, and Rakerd shrugs off most things anyway. As for myself I was still shaking I can believe her I was with a chance that it was put in front of me. If I can pull this off it would mean a better world for everyone. When I was convinced that we will be alright for the night I decided to sleep myself.
