The Pastromorbo Epidemic

by Aeluna
A young pegasus who has never stepped hoof outside must flee the sanctuary of her home and fight to survive in a post-apocalyptic Equestria.

[size=1.5em]A disease-apocalyptic Equestria fic![/size]

In a final attempt to save her kingdom from the invading armies of Sombra and Chrysalis, Celestia took an almighty gamble. Unleashing upon the attackers an ancient, undocumented spell, all seemed to be looking up—until it transpired that she had unknowingly poisoned the entire land with an incurable disease.

A century on, pegasus mare Blue has never set hoof outside—not that she can remember, at least. But when the ponies who took her in suddenly decide to have her killed, she has no choice but to flee and instead face the horrors of a destroyed and deadly post-apocalyptic Equestria.

Warnings: Mutated and mad characters, blood, death. This will get quite dark and gory, though nothing unsuitable for an older teenager. Please note that I will not hold back with this fic.
