Fallout Equestria: Stranger's in a Strange Land.
Something lost? Something found...something never missing? Maybe the missing can be found? A strange field not allowing any pony or other creature out? A field of magic that tried to protect this valley from the end? It didn't work... But coming down this way..to find my family. A stable....broken... A stable... I am from...a stable made for creatures like me... Stable 32. A stable that was made to see how long... We could live without medical ponies. My mother...a nurse...teaching others how to heal..the stable.
Two hundred years ago..in the magical land of Equestria. Is this how the story always went? I have heard it many times on my travels through Equestria and to the Shadow Meadows. Trapped within the valley thanks to the magic Twilight created....at least that's how the story went... Twilight dumping her magic backwash in here....causing a seal but not leaving out the death..of what the bombs left behind.. Oh....if only I could have been there...to see Equestria and this world in the day it was... I saw a sign it said...welcome to Dream valley... Dream valley? I thought a moment... I have never heard of this valley in the stories... Maybe there was a reason for the dumping here.
This valley full of moving Shadows, they seem to avoid those lost and ready to take on anything. A voice speaks from behind me.
"I see you won't give up...ranger." I turned to the voice seeing an earth pony mare. In Steel Ranger armour, old armour that seems not well kept. She has a large hammer on her back. Her face having so many scars, it's hard to see the former beauty she had... She had wisdom beyond her years.. I spoke in my helm...a robotic-like voice coming out.
"I learned.....he could be here... But... I am now stuck here like you.." I said softly. The mare calmly said.
"Take your helm off..ranger I wish to see who I would be helping..." I took off my helm showing my true face... I am known as a Roc. A race that almost was killed when the bombs fell... Some made it into the stable... Only a few of us are left.
"I'm known as Fire Plume or...what the stable called me... Giving me a pony name... Feather flight." Putting the helm back on. The old mare put her helm on. Her name was Paladin Sour Cream...these pony names make no sense to me. The two of us would be following the same path. None of us heroes, none of us mercs or guns for hire... We had another that followed us another female a mare... She was an enclave.
Around us large monster like creatures that looked like flowers. I grabbed my gun in my claws. It was a strange magnum with a long barrel. Firing at the flower creatures that..seemed to drain strange blood. The Steel ranger mare used her hammer. But we had help landing beside us an old Enclave mare. Why are we so old? Hmmm, that's an interesting story. The way into this valley we are forced into a time cave that..cleanses us...but also makes us many years older... If we go back through..we would be dust... I was 20 years old... I am now..40. The enclave mare former captain, Lena feather. She was 18 now, she looks 18 still but her age is 50. The only difference is that her body just hasn't caught up with her yet. The other mare... I don't know...
Yes...we don't know each other..but we got stuck in this time chamber of magic..that forced us...to age..we feel like we know each other... But we have one more...that joined us... A large sword in a glowing magic slices into the remaining flower creatures. She wore a strange armour she called herself a Legionnaire. She didn't get effected as bad..but we realised to live through this land..we need to work together.
Sighing softly, I started to make a fire to eat these creatures. These flower beings seem too good eating from what we learned through the magic tunnel. We started to cook as the Legionnaire mare stood guard seeming to relax and Lena removed her helm. She had very tired eyes.
"I never...thought I would...be working with either of you." I said, removing my helm some feathers falling out of my head from the helm. I sighed looking to my friends because we are forced to work together here... The Legion mare stared at me.
"If the path asks for it..then we must... But I will do the first watch... This land...bothers me..." She looked around her mane was a cream colour. Her body fur light red. Her cutie mark... A legion spear.
The Enclave mare light Green with a short black mane. Sour cream...again..these names... She had a blue mane and her fur white.
In a bowl was the flowers we killed... It was cooking over the fire. The smell was awful... But we just got here...stuck in that tunnel just for a day... But it felt like years to us... The tunnel was made..to protect this land...from ponies that wished to harm it... But it seems this land of Shadows is already full evil creatures. I turned on my Pip-buck and turned on the music. A soft gentle mares voice spoke.
"Greetings to everypony in Valley of Shadows, I'm Bright light. The new's seems to be pretty normal tonight... No more attacks from the south of the valley. The east of the valley has regained its land. The middle of the land where I am at...is still safe for the time being. To any new souls that find themselves lost here..go to the middle of the valley. You will see an old castle...my way of speaking to you is here... Please come this way...even though things are silent right now we could use your help. Now for some music."
A calm gentle cello played. As a voice started to sing...
"Oh...live the dream...as we see our heart's fill the dream. Fulfil the ending night." As the song plays we start to eat and then head our way. Four foes...forced to work together. "The night is our dreams..the ending night is our souls... Oh bring me hope..bring me love...for we have formed." There is no sign that they even knew the Princesses here Twilight did do something here...but no idea what...But something is keeping ponies here..but they don't seem to care..
"Bring forth the dream...so we can see the future.. Oh, end the dream...to see the music again..to we know...that Everybody sings to us." An entire room of voices sing.
"Bring us all....to our home of peace..to see the end again... For that, we know...that the way is here... Come to see who we know...then we come to our songs again." I turned off the pip-buck as the song ended.
Walking the road seeing an old sign Dream Castle... Lost....souls of a land that never learned of the outside? Looking up seeing the moon..but this moon was strange...there were even stars. I lifted my gun and shot into the sky and a strange shield started to shimmer and the moon vanished a second and then returned... A dome? A dome that seems to keep everything in.
I looked at the three that walked along side with me... It was time...we learned...what happened here.
