The Fall Of The Princesses

Log 1

I have decided to make a log of what has happened. Hopefully this could save me from falling into insanity. I will explain what has happened to brought me to this point. My name is Riley, I know very generic name compared to other ponies names, but I like it. Back to the story.

I had decided I would take a trip to Canterlot  one day to visit an old friend. When I arrived in Canterlot my friend, Bulletdash, had met me at the train station. After a bit of catching up we had a bite to eat at a fancy restaurant. After we ate Bulletdash and I decided to go on a tour of the Castle. The Castle tour was great, atleast I thought so. Bulletdash wan't having very fun. Bulletdash often got bored easily if he isn't always entertained.

I left Bulletdash to wander on as the tour continued. "And here we have the glass work of our newest princess, Princess Twi-" the lady was cut off as a rumble could be heard from another part of the castle. Everypony exchanged worried glances as the noise reverberated throughout out the castle. "Now everypony remain calm as the situation is being investigated." The tour lady told. Two guards came rushing out of a double door down the corridor. "The, The Princesses have fallen!" They bellowed out.

After the news got out. Equestria was plunged into an enternal state of choas, heck, Discord would be better than this. Speaking of Discord, couldn't he be helping right now? I am currently in a shelter north of Phillydelphia. I'm a long way from home, but that is a different story. Food is low, and water is scarce. Living off of the most basic things, life Isn't easy. I will have to admit though, things are getting better from what I have heard. I travel the land seeking a better life. Everytown that I have been to this name keeps popping up. The name is called "New Order." I've asked ponies about what it is. It seems to be this new group of ponies, coming together to reform Equestria. Being a traveler it only sparked another reason to travel, to find "New Order." From the start of it all, I thought nothing could make this better. That was 5 years ago. I'm now 22 years old. I have sort of been keeping track of the date. I ask every time I find a new town. So far it is May 15th.

Now that I have come mostly up to the present I can get more into detail of what is happening. My memory is a little hazy of when this all started. Got to keep my head into the present, and the future. In these times you can't keep thinking of the past or you'll become it. And I'd say I've done a nice job keeping it up. I don't know how long I'll stay in this shelter, I'm the only one here, and I get antsy if I'm not around other ponies. Its more of a psychological thing more than anything, makes me feel safe, and everything isn't gone. Speaking of gone, I've looked for my family after the first wave of Anarchy passed. They seem to have fled and traveled as well, I can still remember my family. I had a sister, a brother, and a wonderful Mom, and an amazing Father. God things seem to be so good, until something comes to wipe it all away.

Enough dwelling in the past. My plan is to go down South to Baltimare. Maybe spend a few days there to gather supplies of the broken town. Then go West, back to Ponyville. It is said that is where the New Order resides. If I can make it there, I might be good forever.  I've heard rumors in Hollow Shades, northwest of Phillydelphia, that New Order isn't real. These ponies who said this aren't in the best condition, I suppose they just gave up in finding a better life. That is all for today Log. I'll check in when I get to Baltimare.
