Snow Flight's Journal Log: The day the world ended.

Since the start of time, Ponies used the stars to find their way on the water itself. The stars of Luna's night helped even Zebras and other race's in this lovely world of peace and friendship. Of course, a war broke out not so long ago. The shipping lanes have been changing from normal ships. Then to flying airships that would allow the cargo to be moved without having to go through the water. But some ponies even zebras refuse to change with the times. A few keep their old cargo ships. Some have been upgraded to run on magic gems. Some use coal as steam to go across the land. One of the recently upgraded cargo ships the Wind Skipper the captain. An earth pony stallion is called Sea whisper. Since he has been on the water all his life.

It’s not just ponies, that have these cargo ships. It's Zebra's as well the same as Griffin's. But with the war on. The trading lanes are still open. The Zebra and the Ponies of the cargo ships have a lingo that they don't care what their countries are trying to do. The cargo ship family of the captains. Sea whisper has been away from Equestria for three years. His ship is mostly full of ponies that wished to get away from the army. Some would call them traitor's for going awol or worthless shit for running away from their mission.

It was the day when the world ended. But of course, they didn't know what was going on at the time. it was just normal docking. After five years the captain of the Wind Skipper wanted to go see his family. But it took time for them to get into the docks. He heard alert's the rest of his crew looked up to see the contrails. At first, they had no idea what it was. Then a large explosion with a green mushroom cloud filled the air. The place they were at. The docks of the Hoof.

" Get us back out to sea!!" He screams

The others of his crew stared at their captain. He pointed with his hoof again.

" Out to sea now!!"

He trots to the wheel and started turning them around. Watching while more bomb's kept falling. It was his son's 5th birthday he promised his son. He would be home. The wind Skipper turned creaking and groaning from the force of moving. He set the detestation for the shipping lanes in the middle of the neutral sea. As he looked back he heard sobbing from his crew. He needed to stay strong he closed off his emotions for the time being. But he knew that sooner or later he would need to cry. But he looked as Equestria burned behind him. A deadly fire that he knew would never make it out to sea. Maybe they could live in the middle of the shipping lanes.



Journal log: Four days after it ended.

It took about a few days but during the travel they found burnt boats floating away from the land. But all the ponies on board are dead. But when the Skipper slowly stopped in the middle of the shipping lanes. Sea whisper stayed silent. The entire crew didn't even know what to do. He went to the radio room. He allowed the mare who normally was here to cry her pain away. He sat on the chair. Putting the headset to his head then sent out pleas for life.

" This is Captain Sea whisper of the Wind Skipper. Is any pony out there?"

All he heard for the moment is static. He sighed and knew it was too hard to be true. But he didn't give up the day went on to the point he only ate when he was in the radio room his crew got very worried about him. A mare his first mate walked in she is a unicorn holding his dinner.

" Sir you need...to rest."

Sea whisper turned to his First mate the pink unicorn smiled softly since all his crew had tags on their uniforms. Her name is Cotton. He didn't even smile at her she placed the food near him frowning and sat on her haunches beside him.

" Sea I know...."

He looked at her with anger in his eyes.

" Cotton you lost family to...I know this...but It was his birthday...You expect me to move on?!"

Cotton was taken aback at his words. He growled at her showing his anger putting the headset back on.

" This is Sea Whisper of the Wind Skipper is any pony out there?"

Cotton sighed standing up blinking hear the voice over the radio.

" We read you Sea Whisper. This is Griffin's fish skipper the crab's dance. Give us your location please."

Sea Whisper spoke into it. But more voices started to come over.

" This is the cargo ship the crazy mare. Please give us your location." Sea Whisper looked back to his First mate.

" Get ready for some guest."



Snow Flight's Journal Log: A month after the world ended.

It had taken a month after the world ended for all the ships to come to the middle there are three Pony Cargo ships. The other two use coal. Two Griffin Fish skimmers A large Zebra Transport ship that helped save what they could. Then the final ship is a shaman transport. That held a Zebra seer. In the captain's meeting room, the captains of each ship set to meet. Sea Whisper looks at the assortment of souls in the room.

" I am sure all of you know the world has ended." He sighed sitting in his chair. " I would be home with my son on his 5th birthday when it happens."

The Griffin of the Crab's Dance spoke.

" My crew and I fished for our great nation. But we used coal to help us go along. We wanted " Of course by mistake made a loud noise. I was the first engineer on the ship. They all looked at me. A bright white fur Pegasus mare. The captain gave me a nasty look. I sighed and flew out of the ready room. I was in there repairing something but I wouldn't be able to hear the rest of the meeting.


Journal log.

Out of kindness and respect for the world. The Cargo ships and the large Zebra like troop transport. In the ring as well. I just watched this happen most of the time. In the middle of the metal ring. the fish Skimmers were used to gather fish for the Griffin's maybe even the ponies someday. The Wind Skipper is mainly going to be used as a home just for us. But the rest is going to take on them all. But sadly we have been asked to burn every instruction booklet on how to work the ship's wheels to get them running.

It seems all the captains wish to forget what happened. But also they want the future never to return to land. I wish I could put a stop to this but. It would take alot of doing and with the world that has ended. I don't wish to become a problem.


Journal Log: Two years

It's been two years now. everything is in place after all that. I have also found what most would say this time a mate. He is a wonderful stallion of one of the other cargo ships. But I didn't get the name. How we worked around that I am forced to live in the core room to keep the core from going haywire. But I have been asked not forced to produce offspring. Maybe they feel we will be here forever since the land is burning. But it's working all the cargo ships have had some changes. In fact how we get our water. A machine was built in each in the water. To remove the salt and make pure clean water. Now, this is because some were holding cargo to make something like this. Us.. well there is one room we aren’t allowed to go in.

It's some top-secret room that the captain wishes to never come to light. It was something that would help win the war. The door's lock has been broken so no pony can ever go inside. But the rest of our cargo looked to be seeds and dirt. So me being who I am. With the rest of the crew on each ship. We put space for gardens. It would take a while to get our food yes. But it's what we must do.


Journal Log: four years later.

Whelp I am pregnant. My husband and I didn't last long together. Since he found some other pony. I didn't care I have a little one to raise. Since there is no way I could kill the foal. I wouldn't dare anyway. I have been writing instructions on how to keep the core running. The other cargo ship that was near us. Had a wooden path built into the core room? So I could talk to my new friend and his family. He brought his family with him. I am hoping that his family helps my little one when I am finally gone. His wife Butter bread. has been very kind to me. She was there when my husband broke my heart. I didn't cry but she wished me to. She is a pretty picky unicorn. She even had her children build me a hut made out of metal so I could at least live near the core.


Journal log: Twenty-six years later

My daughter is now a full-grown adult. But it's been a hard time for us The captain had his own family but he passed away. His son took over. All my friends are dead. I am the last one of the former crew alive. On my death bed. All I can do is see the fact my son is going to be alright.


Journal log: 200 years have passed

It's been 200 years. I found this journal in my mother's belonging but no pony else wrote in it. But I found out who my great great great grandmother was. I...I am her decedent. I am known as Sprocket my mother I guess was drunk because she even called me Root Beer at one time. I will never understand my family.


I set down my pencil from my mouth. I Looked up to the core as the room started to shake. Oh no not now. The core on the other ship did the same. I flew to the door.

" Socket!!"

The unicorn mare looked out she had fear in her eyes.

" After this let’s go to the bar and get a drink."

Socket nodded rushing back inside. I rushed to my gear placing it all on. I sighed softly hating this time of year. The core did a charge then turned off. An alarm went off sighing I flew out of the core room. Heading to the deck. The deck of the Wind Skipper is a large city made from empty cargo containers. I sighed looking at my home the Metal ring in the middle of the sea. I fly off to the first part of the ship I need to repair oh I hate this job.
