Fallout Equestria: Isle of the lost.

I wake to Blaze shaking me gently. I look at her, noticing her fearful eyes. I get to my hooves while looking at her.

"Star Shooter. The Queen's army, They are amassing in front of the castle." I nod, heading out of the Mansion. Looking outside, I see all creatures of the town rushing about, getting what they need to the factory to build weapons. I could hear hammers smashing against metal. I could see a wooden wall being constructed around the city. I sigh, shaking my head, a few months have passed. Looking down to my leg the cast is removed but it still didn't heal that well. I still limp a bit. But I had a feeling I would limp. I Head outside the building.

Taking a look around everything was going so quickly. I have never seen so many creatures, Zebra and ponies rushing so fast through the streets of this town. Another forge was outside of the Blacksmith's building he even had help now. The help was a Minotaur. The hammer smashed hard into the anvil getting swords and armor ready for the battle to come. I didn't know how to help, so I went down to the docks to see what is going on there. But I saw the sea ponies and the sea monster I saw not too long ago. They were helping them gather fish to get ready for a possible siege. The sea ponies all wave at me, I smile at them. I know that soon they will help us in the battle to take the castle.

Blaze comes up behind me, lifting me up with her tail.

"No my love, you will keep resting." My voice sounds awful. I sound sick. I blink, staring at her, but I don't wish to argue with her. I still needed to heal. She carried me in her strong tail to the inn.

Blaze set me down at a booth.

"You stay here, I don't want you to get the idea to check out the army like I know you want to do." I blinked then she forced her face into mine. "Promise me..." Blinking not sure if I should, but I sighed.

"I promise." I could barely say. Blaze smiled, kissing me deeply gently then pulled away.

"Good mare." She winked rushing outside the door to help with everything. I sighed the inn was pretty empty. But Speckled Scale walked over to me with a smile on her face.

"Hello, Star Shooter are you hungry?" Nodding looking up to her with a smile. "Good my love, please give her the new special." I wanted to speak but when I tried it came out pretty much well nasty sounding. Speckled stares at me then looks at her wife. "Also get me the better fire juice." I blinked, thinking to myself ‘get me better fire juice’? Why would there be a juice called that?

I turn on the radio. So I could listen to the warden. "Well folks, the battle for the fate of the island, is closing in. The Queen's army is amassing in front of the castle. I wish I could say this is a good thing. But I'm sad, my friends. I don't see the point of this war. But she wishes to be loved. So she feels the only way for her to be loved is...well this. It's something that is always sad. But now I have learned some things from Equestria. It seems a hero came from a stable. But that's all we have learned. If the spell is ever lowered we will finally learn what is going on in the outside world. There will be no music for you folks. It will just be a message from the Queen." The warden's voice is replaced by the Queen.

"Greetings my kingdom. I wish to explain my reasons for doing this. Now since the Warden is the only Radio channel that we have, I will explain here." The voice gets very bossy. "I am your Queen, I demand that you bow to me. But, you wish for an explanation. I will give it to you. Ahem, The legend has ruined my kingdom. The hero has been dead for six months now.. Please my ponies help me fight off these rebels.”

I turn the radio off sighing softly, leaning my head on the table. I know sooner or later, I will hear that I am the reason for this happening, that it is my fault. I sigh, only to discover my nose is clogged up. I close my eyes to rest. A plate is placed in front of me with many peppers on it. As well as some carrots. The drink I am given also as if it was on fire. But she blew it out. The smoke filled the air as the boiling drink bubbled. I looked at the food.

"Go ahead and drink, Star Shooter." I nod, my horn glowing brightly. Feeling Speckles claws in my nose to block it. I wondered why she was doing this. I drank it all down, setting the drink down. Smoke filled my mouth, it burned so much. I started to sweat feeling like my insides were on fire. "Now, quickly eat."

Doing what she asked of me. I lifted the food to my mouth, eating the peppers. I chewed them quickly. Then I ate the carrots. But I felt like my mouth was on fire. Speckled wrapped her tail around me holding me down so I couldn't move. I coughed loudly feeling the smoke coming out of my nose and mouth. I felt like every part of me was on fire. She held me there for a few seconds. I didn't know what to do. All I could do was try to cry, but the pain was so much that it made it nearly impossible. She then removed the wrapped tail and lifted some water up to my lips.

"Open up your mouth." I did what she asked, drinking down the fluid; feeling my mouth still burning but after a while, I felt my body slowly cool down. I didn't know what to think, but I stood up staring at her. I spoke.

"Hey!! that.." my voice was normal. I could breathe even. "What was that?" I gave Speckled a surprised look and she chuckled. Looking at her wife at the desk nodding to her.

"Well, it's an old recipe my wife learned before she came to the island. Back when she was a young filly." I nodded, noticing that my nose still felt like it was on fire. I was grateful to discover that it wasn't clogged anymore. I still had a temperature of course, but I felt ten times better it as it had cleared my sinuses. But it still made me feel worse. But then I felt the heat in my bladder.

"Oh! I’ll be right back." I quickly made my way past many other patrons going to the bathroom themselves. Without even thinking I cut past them. I heard some angry voices at the moment, though I really didn’t care. Closing the door with my magic sitting on the toilet. I felt pain and the rush of burning heat going through my bladder. After I was done I looked into the toilet, seeing a strange discolored fluid. It even stank so I tried to flush it. It didn’t even wish to go down. Like the toilet itself refused to take it. Forcing the flush a few more times it finally went down. The finish of the toilet was gone. The shine was stained groaning. I went back out looking up to the Gila monster groaning.

"What was in that drink?" Speckled smirks.

"A few rotten eggs. Some very deadly peppers. A few pints of sand light it on fire and mix it. Then it becomes what you just drank. We call it fire punch. Your lover drinks it all the time. It's what keeps her burning hot. Of course, you already know this." My face turned bright red. So this is why every time we kiss she burns my mouth. I chuckled softly sitting back at the booth.

"Now can you give me real food and a real drink please?" Speckled chuckled nodding. I lay my head on the table relaxing. Happy that I am able to breathe. Blaze walks into the inn, placing a claw on my head.

"Still sick I see." I nodded weakly. She looked to Speckled. " Keep an eye on her. My father is asking me to come to my old home to get some of the young away from there. I will be back." She gave a smile placing a gentle kiss on my face. Walking back out of the inn. I sighed I hated being sick. But I was told the reason I am sick is that of that Prison. Another plate of food is set down this time. It's just a normal sandwich. Along with a glass of juice.

Lifted the food with my magic eating it. Along with the juice. Looking at the door open. Doc walking in he smiled. Checking my temp a moment. " h, you should get some more rest Star Shooter. I doubt it's wise for you to be out and about. It's best to get better before the battle starts." Sighing while I ate the rest of the food drinking down the juice. Setting some gold coins down. Looking to Doc.

I have a feeling that you're right, Doc." I nodded heading back out of the inn.

Slowly I walk around town behind my back hoof causing me to limp just a bit every now and then. I lifted my back leg to look at the fur growing back. I stop looking at my leg, watching my friends rushing back and forth. Walking along the road I watched while my friends helped. Dr. Slice checking the defenses. Standing there for a moment to watch while his robotic body pretended to be a guard smashing into the defenses. I couldn’t help but laugh at this. Walking further down the road to the docks seeing the Clockwork ponies trot back and forth from the cave. I wish I could have helped but even the zebras and ponies asked me to stay out of the way. I may be their hero but I can’t always be of help.

Maybe it's wise to do this. I started to continue on my way, but that silly swamp rat and her children rushed past me. I blinked as I watch them. They were carrying so much metal, I was astonished they didn't collapse right then and there. They looked to be heading into the caves. I heard heavy stomping just ahead of me, looking up I saw Hawk looking down at me. She had been upgraded, the brain casing was covered in heavy cast iron. Her legs were heavier looking, perhaps from all the added armor. Her weapons were not safe from his upgrade either. The guns had been repaired, some parts even were replaced. She glanced down at me.

"Ah, little hero. I heard that you ran into Project Stopwatch. I wish the ponies of the past listened to me. I told them trying to mimic what Twilight did to go back in time. Just to stop the war it’s not going to be that easy. It’s not easy when you know the elites of Cantorlot wanted this war in the first place. They used the spell on me and my brain left my body going back in time. I was lucky that I landed near someone of magic. They found me frozen in a magic case. Sometimes I look back on all this and just wish I could have gotten through to them.”

I blinked and nodded to her. Hawk seemed too tired to nod, all I got was a shrug and a clank of her armor, then turned and walked off down the road. She had metal tied behind her. She was probably heading to the blacksmith. Heading up to the Mansion I noticed the zebra Commander who's name I never got and Bulk. They stood there watching the town get ready for the battle.

"I feel it, my old friend." The Zebra said. "We could have learned much from each other in the past." Bulk gave a simple nod.

"I agree if we had worked like this in the past...The war might never have happened." They turned their heads at the sound of my passing, seeing me they bow their heads in respect, I nodded graciously, acknowledging them in return. I was surprised, I hadn’t realized they had such respect for me. I continued into the Mansion, their voices following me as the door began to close.

"She’s a strong young mare." Bulk said.

"Aye, I agree she risked her life for others who are strangers to her. She owes us no loyalty. No one would even have faulted her if she just went home. And yet she remains with us, delaying her own return home." Closing the door, I had no idea why they talked about me with such reverence. I ignored the feelings for the moment. I had to prepare for when the battle arrived, sleep would come easily.

I quickly ran as fast as I could. My body shifting from side to side like a Salamander's body does. Looking behind to see if I was being followed. Seeing no one I approached the cavern that held my former home. Starting the fire with my magic I looked around, making sure no one will see. After a few seconds, my mother walked out.

"Mother take me...in there as quick as you can." She gave a nod. The two of us walked side by side into the cavern. Our plight was bad enough that the females were given weapons and armor to defend our cavern. They knew they would lose, but they had to fight, they had to hope. I didn't wish to see my former home taken by the Queen. That bitch who dared harm my Starshooter. I shook my head to clear my thoughts of what she told me that happened to her during those months of pain and hate. I finally made it to the throne, my father sat in it, he was looking very tired. At the sound of my hoofsteps on the cold stone floor, he looked up with a defeated look on his face.

"Ah... daughter... I know I will not get the chance to say this when I fall in battle." He walks down the stairs towards me. He then wrapped his arms around me in a hug. I could feel tears streaming down his face along my back. I tried to stay strong, putting on a flat face, but my father couldn’t, I could feel the silent sobs that he let loose. He sighed, "I would like to apologize for what I did, my daughter. I know that I'm meant to be the king of our people. But our species was never meant to be ruled only by males. Daughter, when this battle is over I would like you to remain here to rebuild what is ours, I do not know if we are to survive, but I do know that we will need your help. I know that you might want to leave with that lover of yours, but before you do, please help rebuild."

I sighed, I didn't want to talk to him about this. I still was pretty upset about how he treated me when I was younger, but I had to let go. Star Shooter told me that I should never let the past control my decisions. I smiled, or at least a fake smile.

"I forgive you, father. I will stay to make sure that my wonderful Starshooter stay's here to help rebuild. Now I need to be going. Please let me take the younglings with me. Since they’re our future and the only future our race will have. Knowing the Queen she won’t stop with the adults she will wipe out our entire race. Just to prove a point that she is not to be messed with.” My parents lifted their heads to look at me after I said this. I could tell they knew this as well. The Queen to kill the future to get Star Shooters goat.

Looking towards the future. I see myself married to Star Shooter. I see my heart full of love and hope. All I see is happiness in my future. I will never be lonely again, here I am going to marry the hero of legend during the final battle. Like the legend says I will. Looking back to my family. I sighed smiling softly

"I am so sorry to all of you that this is happening. I never would have thought that falling for Star Shooter would cause you all this pain. I love her with all my heart. I am happy that you all are happy for me, so please stay alive. I wish you to see me create a family with Star Shooter. I plan to follow up with making her mine, I want you to love her like I do. She has much to prove that she ain’t a heartless mare. But a kind gentle full of heart pony. That wishes the best for all those around her." My father just gave me a gentle smile pointing with his tail towards the way out.

"Go, Blaze, the battle will be starting soon. The Queen will be hitting the magic eater’s lair first, the ones that broke ties with her. Most don’t know this, but she didn’t create all of the Magic eaters. These are the ones that are made offshoots of her magic experiments. They broke off from her years ago. The only way she will feel happy is if she kills all those that broke off from her. After she takes care of them. She will come for us then Cliffside. Go, daughter, save yourself and take the younglings.”

Looking away, I frowned as I watched my own mother put on her golden armor. I was sure I would be the only one left of the royal bloodline. I gave my mother a tight hug, my tears fell from my face along her golden scales. She pushed me away after the hug was over. She mouthed. “Go, leave us, we must face our judgment.”

I nodded, backing away before motioning to leave to the entire population of the youngling. I didn't want to leave, but I had to. When I got outside right above me is the sky filled with clouds. It was going to be a rainy walk back. I didn't want the younglings to see me being weak. Looking back to the cavern seeing all the salamander guards getting ready for the battle ahead. The sky flashed, rain pelted from the sky, splattering along our scaled bodies. My tail slid along the ground as I ran. I couldn't boast like I usually did. None of my kin could during times like this.

Letting them all inside the empty cavern. I spoke softly to them when they all got in.

"The Zebras are going to take care of you. They will give you food and water. Please, whatever you do; don't leave here at all. When the battle is over, you may come back out. You will know when it's time to return." I closed the door, leaving them inside. I watched the Zebras go inside to take care of them. Then I slowly ambled back the other, out of the caverns. Feeling the anger filling me up. I needed to see my lover and see how she was doing. I headed into the Mansion but I heard a voice that stopped me.

"Blaze, she is asleep." Blinking turning to see Jonon who is always in the same chair in the same spot at the same time all the time. "I had a feeling you wished to talk to her about all the little ones you brought to the town." I blinked my eyes having three eyelids since I had one set then another to show that my eyes. How did she know all this stuff? I have never heard her conversations with Star Shooter.

"How do you know?" I simply asked. Jonon just looked at me.

"Blaze I have eyes you know. Also, Dr. Slice told me you have a parade of you and tiny salamander's walking in the Rain. Now My simple question are you going to adopt?" My eyes went wide, my eyes weren't like the ponies. I had slit irises.

"Jonon, I doubt Star Shooter wants to adopt. We haven't even gotten married yet. This stupid legend says we will be married during one of the battles for the island. I am hating this legend so much. It took Star Shooter from her home and family. I see her look at the direction of Equestria all the time. But she knows she can't even go home. Because of me and this entire island counting on her."

Jonon sighed looking towards the door that Star shooter is in.

" Listen, Blaze, a day doesn't go by that Star Shooter ask me these questions herself. Before she got sick she asked me. Is this punishment for forsaking Equestria? I doubt it as I said to her. She stayed for you Blaze. She stayed because she loves you. if you went with her. She would have left and been home."

I sigh rubbing my eyes with my claws. Finally, the truth is out. My lover, that mare that won my heart. Just from how tender and weak she can get. I love that so much. Closing my eyes again I felt tired and I needed to sleep.

" I am going to go sleep Jonon. I am happy we could talk." Jonon nodded to me, I slowly walked into the bedroom. Seeing Star Shooter laying in the bed. She looked so beautiful in my eyes. I gently got into the bed so she won't wake up. I lay my head on her shoulder falling asleep.

I opened my eyes feeling my system's turned on. I had to repair a system in my robotic body. I felt the hover talisman turning on helping me float. Slowly lifting into the air. I was in the bunker in the cave. I was trying to study the project mouse. But when I woke up. I noticed my body was covered in this strange substance. Looking around seeing the mice that look very robotic.

They dump this strange substance all over the room. Taking a vial to try to fill it up. To study it. But all I could learn is that this green substance is full of raw tainted magic. But when I read the info on these mice. They were meant to mind. But they're taking the magic out of the air.

Looking around it was time for me to leave. Slowly floated out of the bunker. Closing and locking the door again. Passing the clockwork ponies. Who did some work on me to update my system's. But when I got near some flesh creature's mainly the Zebras, when they saw me they moved back.

" Slice.. that substance on you makes us very sick." Looking around with my three eyes than looking at myself seeing the substance. What did it have in it to make the flesh sick? One of the Clockwork ponies brought out a strange vacuum and cleaner to clean along with me. When every inch of the green substance was gone. I moved away from the bunker.

" I think we need to burn that bunker down or at least try to remove project mouse." I sighed I knew becoming this thing would ruin my ability to enjoy life. I need to find Star Shooter. I need to know what was down in that basement. I floated up to the Manson using my claw hands to open the door flying inside.

" She is asleep, Doctor." Before I can do anything I float into the kitchen Jonon sitting in a chair seems to be cleaning a strange stave she always has with her. I have no idea what it was for. I may have had a friend who was a scribe of Caesar. I sigh like a robot.

" I need to speak to her about the mice she found in that bunker." Jonon looked up to me.

" Doctor she is asleep. Also, Blaze is in there. Do you really want to pull her from that protective Salamander?" Again I sighed.

" I will come back when she is awake." Jonon gives a nod. Floating out of the house opening and closing the door. Maybe I can talk to some pony who wants to study this. The only one I can think of is Doc. Quickly I floated to the doctor's office. But on the way, I was stopped by Hawk. Looking up with my three eyes.

" Slice..." The mech calmly said. " I'm not happy to see you. But it seems we will be working together again." I was scared to death but how can a mister gutsy have emotions? Maybe my emotions came with me through brain transferring.

" Hawk I am so...sorry what happen to you. I didn't mean to cause you this pain." Hawk just stares down at me. I didn't wish him to attack me. For I am one of the reasons he is in this machine.

" I am sure you're Slice. I can tell you lost your battle to that sickness that ate your flesh. So now you know my torment of being inside a robotic body. I do feel sorry for you. But I am only protecting this village for Star Shooter that little more need's all the help she can get. She even promised me a way to get back to Equestria. I know you wish to go back to. But for now, you walk..the other way. I will walk this way. If I am in a better mood. I will not want to shoot you." Sighing again floating away from the large creature quickly.

Finally, I make it to the Doctor's office. Opening the door seeing many creatures wandering around they seem to be trying to create potions to be ready for the battle. Floating to find Doc. I found him talking to some Zebra's who were creating a brew to do crazy things to the fighters. He turns to look at me.

" Doc I got something I need you to take a look at." Opening a compartment in my body pulling out the vial of the green substance. " I went into the bunker. To study those robotic mice. From Project mouse. I feel this could be used as a weapon if we harvest it from the creature's." Doc took a look opening up.

" I will take a look at it. But I am sure this is the same substance that made Star Shooter sick. But it energizes Salamanders and Magic eaters. From what she told me about it. It's tainted magic. Since the ground is so enriched with magic. So I would say if you do harvest it. Use it as a final resort. Now Dr. Slice. I need to get back to work." I give a nod floating outside of the doctor's office.

My core needed a bit of a rest. After all the update's I was given from the clockwork ponies. I needed my core updated. I hover into the cave looking for a worker to speak to. I never got their names. They don't talk about themselves.

" I need an update to my magic core." The Clockwork pony looked at me and used its strange tools to open up. To take a look and give a nod.

" I can update it. But it will take a while for the talismans to work ." I sigh softly.

" I need to be useful so please upgrade me." The Clockwork pony nods.

" This will take some time. Are you willing to stay off till it's all set up and ready?" If I could nod I would I just bopped up and down like I was nodding. I looked at the Clockwork pony. They had interesting magic and technology working over their systems. But I had a lot to think about. Maybe it's wise for me to be shut down. So they can upgrade my core.

" I will do it." The clockwork pony nods again, shutting me down. Before my brain went fully dormant from the shutdown. I look back on how it felt to be a robot with the ability to be turned on and off.

Removing myself from the chair near the dining room table. No one seems to come in to bother Star Shooter. I walked to the bedroom opening the door to look in. I could see the two asleep. Star Shooter had a smile on her face. Blaze the same. These two together are amazing. I do hope I will see the wedding when they have it. Closing the door back up. Heading back to the seer looking into the building hearing the seer sleeping.

I walk inside and lift up the bed making her fall to the ground. The seer then looks at me with great anger in her eyes.

"You and I need to talk." The Seer lifts herself off the earthen ground and sits with annoyance on her bed.

"Jonon, I am trying to sleep. The stars aren't speaking to me at this moment." I sigh, shaking my head.

"You ruined the life of Star Shooter. You and I both know she is not the hero of legend or she wasn't meant to be the hero of legend."

The seer snorts, laughing softly.

"Oh no, she is the hero of legend. But that is because all the ones that became the heroes of legend died. She is not the first of the legend. But she is the first to make it this far. The last hero died soon after they ended up here in Cliffside. Some just give up and become part of the town. You see a legend talks about a powerful creature. But it turns out to be one that no one ever knows."

Looking towards the way out then looking to the Seer.

"So we ruined the life of Star Shooter because of this legend about the ones that created this island. Made a legend to fight the Queen. The Queen has been here for so long.. No one will ever know why this island was created. The real reason for it. I am sure the real reason is the prison."

The Seer nods, a look of grief on her striped face.

"I never wished to ruin the life of Star Shooter. She just walked in here. So I felt hmm I will see her future. The Stars told me, of course, being from Equestria I didn't wish to tell her I was listening to the stars. So how could a pony from Equestria trust a Zebra that speaks to the stars?"

I gave a nod. " I am surprised she trusts Zebras at all. After how I beat her through training with her. She didn't stop or even give up. She just kept working hard on the training to be ready to fight whatever. But I feel maybe we ruined her life or that Merchant.." The Seers eye goes wide looking around quickly then back to me.

" That Merchant with the large bag on his back?" I gave a nod. " Don't trust him. whatever he gives you toss it away. You don't want to be indebted to him. So please if you see him or the hero does. Don't allow her to even talk to him. He has a future on this island."

My ears twitch at those words. How is he the future of the island? Why would he be? I do know that he is the reason the Griffin went after Star Shooter for the first time. But maybe this merchant has something that he wants. But I would never know. So I left the seer's home to go talk to our new elder. I wanted to learn more about what the elder wants to see and wants to do.

Heading to my place opening the wall to head down the cave. Looking at the carvings in the wall placing my hoof on them. I felt that this legend didn't only ruin the life of Star Shooter but all of us. I have been in Cliffside all my life. I was told I would someday train the hero of legend. But I wasn't told I would consider her one of my close friends. A legend would never tell you that you make friends with the hero and worry about them when they get sick and wounded.

I wish I could have found her after the bomb went off. But I was one of the ones that kept telling the other's that she was alive. But in my heart, I wasn't even sure that she was still alive. Just the fact that I had to keep Blaze's hope. But I'm never going to understand why the Queen is doing all this. I don't even know why she wants to be loved and take over the island so badly.

Sliding my hoof along the walls. I wish I could read all this. I would wish to learn about the past. I need to understand what in the world is going on here. Someday maybe I will learn, maybe someday I won't. But the idea of how some things are said. Slowly heading into the cavern looking around seeing all of the Zebra's getting ready for the army when it finally it's here and we know it will hit here. It's not going to be pleasant when it happens.

I walked along the walkway that we made through the sewers that were created so long ago. But I am very happy that we don't get the crap from when the ones above go to the bathroom. Oh, the smell would be awful. Getting to the main building walking inside to see Zrannth. The elder seemed to be reading a book as she looked up to me. We didn't care much for each other. Because she is from a family that wished to bring their little war here with the ponies. But I sat in front of her calmly smiling weakly.

" Elder...I need your wisdom." Her eyes go wide.

" You want my wisdom Jonon. But our families never got along because of that silly war." I gave a nod.

"Star Shooter, I learned a lot from her. She may be a pony. But she removed the past. the past is now gone it's now for the future. Even though our families of the past are the reasons why we are here. It's sad yes. But sometimes we must understand why this happens so it never happens again." Zrannth nodded sighing softly looking towards the guards.

"Please leave." They nodded to her as they walked outside of the building. She stood on her hooves and looked towards me.

"Jonon I never wished to be the elder. But it seems the fact I wished to go back to our land. That I was chosen. But I am sure our land hasn't even healed yet after what happened at the end of the war. I heard stories from new Zebras that came here when the spell is down. Half the land is still burning, a lot of Equestria is still pretty much dead along with the outside lands. How can we fix the land? When we deserve what happened to the world. Maybe it's the star's way to teach us how stupid we are or had been in the past. The fact the world ended just because of how stupid our species can be."

She sighed looking towards me and smiled softly at me.

"Jonon I wish I was lucky. You will fight with the hero. But I will be fighting with her as well when the attack happens here. We all know the Queen wants to be loved. Even if she will force it. The battle is going to be hard to do. I feel that a lot of us are going to lose loved ones. Heck, I know that your daughter doesn't even talk about loving you."

I sighed.

"That's because she was born through a marriage that didn't have love behind it. It was the only way for us to live down here. Before the hero showed up. What's interesting she wished to be sold so she could get away from me. But the fact that I used the hero to save her. She won't even talk to me anymore. She is waiting for the battle to come so she could fight in it. Maybe even lose her life."

Zrannth frowns shook her mane out of her eyes. "Well, I feel that the only way that we all would know is when the battle happens. If your daughter doesn't wish to talk about it. I feel bad for you. But I do feel the only way to learn is most of the way to live. It is to be on your own. I feel the way to be on your own is the only way to live."

Zrannth set down a cup of tea for me to drink. I lifted it up on my hoof looking at it closely.

" I am attached to Star Shooter. I am close to Blaze. Blaze is so open about her relationship with Star Shooter. I have never seen a Salamander so happy about being with a pony. I have gotten to know the Doctor as well. I am slowly getting to know the Minotaur and the Griffin that Star Shooter brought with her when she came back to us."

Zrannth sips from her tea. "The fact that she brought so many together in the name of some strange wolf creature that she met when she was younger. So young from what she told me. Eight years old. But the fact she is now stuck on this island. Because she was pony napped by a Salamander that was on Equestria. I wanted to know more but. She didn't know anything about this Salamander she hasn't even seen him again. So I am wondering if the Salamander just rooted her up thinking it was the right thing to do."

Sighing softly I had no idea what to think.

"I did find the boat that brought her here. The boat was just a simple small old cargo ship. But it wasn't even meant for these types of waters. But when I went into it. I found no cargo I found nothing but a cell she was in. I think this Salamander either knew something about her or he just wanted someone to pony nap."

Zrannth drinks the rest of her tea, setting the cup down looking towards the guard's return.

"Look Jonon I think you should get some sleep. You will need to be ready to train more of the warrior's that will want to defend the town."

I let out a tired sigh while drinking the tea. I set the empty cup back down on the stand.

"Thank you for the talk, elder."

I stood up slowly trotting back out of the tunnel. I needed some rest. But before I did anything I looked back at the carvings. I sighed stroking my hoof along the one that is meant to be Star Shooter. I said softly.

"I am sorry for the legend destroying your life, little hero. I wish the legend was never learned. I am sure you would have found a way to get back home."

Sighing softly getting into my bed and falling asleep.

I found it interesting how the creatures of this town have fully started to get ready for the battle ahead. I wish I could talk to Skull Crusher but he went back home to make sure they have enough staying behind so the Queen feels that she won without the towns being empty.

I sighed knowing that many will die in the next few days. The hero is going to feel it's all her fault. I wish I could talk to her but that lover of hers wants her to rest before the battle fully starts up. I don't blame her for wanting her to rest at all. I watched as the zebras started learning to use guns. But the ammo is pretty poorly made but it seems to cut through many a fabric. But I wonder how it would do on armor. Grabbing some heavy armor that was just made into my claws placing it on the dummy.

"Alright aim for the armor." Then I saw them just aiming for the head, blowing it off. I blinked wait a moment. Are they really that smart to aim for the head than the body itself? Heh wow, I am impressed. " Still I want to see how the ammo is with this armor." The Zebra's nodded firing on the armor. The bullets bounced off but they left some nasty dent's. But while they kept firing the armor did wear down in the spot they kept hitting. I felt maybe they will do good enough. But what we mostly had to worry about is the fact that the army is mostly magic. So hopefully we will know a time that would happen.

Then I noticed Skull Crusher was already back. He walked up to me holding a large stave.

"Hey, Griffin let's do some training eh?" I lift my eye ridge at this request to train. It’s rare for our species to even fight alongside each other. Maybe for once our species and work for peace after this war is over.

We lifted our weapons. The two of us started to train. Others around us watched the two of us train. To learn our skills and try to be useful in the battle. It’s getting closer to the day that the war is going to fully start and we need to be ready for the battle ahead.
