After Equestria: Honest Hearts

I felt large hooves shake me awake. Looking up to see Spade's gentle white eyes. She had fear in them. "Fleur Sparks said's the army is getting closer. She is setting the blocker's to blow to call the monster's roaming what is left the city." I quickly got out of bed. This place has been my home for years. But I needed to get out. Sparks came back in looking at me with a sigh.

"I'm sorry Fancy. It seems they have a device that can track the magic of what we found. So we need to get to Canterlot ruins to hide it." Giving a nod quickly grabbing all my gear heading to the buggy. It was full of all our gear three seat's opening for my new friend's lover? She turned to me wearing her heavy armor. Forcing me into the light armor taking her helm off to give me a deep kiss. The kiss made me blush but I didn't care at all I had a large smile on my face during the kiss.

Behind us, we could hear the army breaking into the back door. I could hear them yelling. "Don't let them get away." The three of us quickly got into the buggy. Sparks started the buggy up she then placed the battery charger on my horn to charge the batteries of the buggy. " Get them!!" They toss strange spears at the three of us as we drive off. The blocker that kept the monsters out of our home exploded. Making a loud enough sound to attract them. But it was going to be harder to get through Manehattan.

So many buildings fell during whatever happened. So we need to find a way to drive through here. But we put up the windshield and the windows. It's going to be hard to keep the buggy charged with the heat going. So we did this to make sure the heat stayed inside. We went through the old roads. Sparks sighed.

"It's going to take a while to get through this city." Gave a nod looking over to Spades who had her entire armor on. She seemed to relax spiraling her large earth pony body out. "I'm sorry Fancy I didn't think they would chase you." Sparks calmly said.

"Its fine Sparks. I doubted that as well." I said softly. " But I think the fact I am with the leader's sister now. Had something to do with it. But I am truly unsure. Just why Canterlot?"

"Well, that's where the first Treasure hunter's guild was formed and where the one's from the remnant are running to. So I felt it would be best to get us there as well." Giving a nod looking back to Spade again who seemed to be fast asleep with the helm on her head.

" Sparks should I trust Spade" Sparks turned to look at me.

" Yes her great grandmother is an old friend of mine. She cares for you even though all you two have done is have sex. But with how the world is now.It's all you can do to enjoy life before dying."

I gave a nod that is the truth. I was born in an old settlement that used to be around. But most of them left to join the Remnant. My family since my father slept with every mare he could. I have many stepbrothers and sisters. But sadly that is how life is in this day and age. But I am sure Spade has nothing related to me in her body. Since she doesn't act like a worthless child. Like most of my family does. Also an old friend of hers I had no idea how old Sparks was at all. I may have to ask her sometime we have known each other for years. In fact, she even said she was there for my birth.

" Oh, Fleur I ran into your father. He asked how is that wonderful Treasure hunter daughter of mine. I just calmly said. You're good sleeping around with every mare you see as always."

I sighed, rolling my eyes. I hated my father. I didn't like how he treated my mother. Snow Hoof is my mother even if she didn't act like it. She acted more as she trained me. But she is my mother. I love her so much and I hope she will be there when we get to Canterlot.

" I have a feeling we won't get out of the city. It's around the time of year when the beasts are in their mating season I think." Sparks nodded. Yes around this time of year it was harder to get around. But the fact we could even get into the remnant was a bad thing. The remnant didn't use to be so warlike at least when I was younger they were more respectful.

"Sparks. I got a question. Why did the Remnant leader's turn so evil?" Sparks looked over to me then over to Spade. She sighed softly.

"I don't know your wife to be doesn't even know." Blinking at that. "The remnant has been getting more and more jealous of the treasure hunter's guild for years. They find so much it upset them. To the point, they wished to take what they could from them."

Sighing opening my bag looking at the strange magic item that was found in the chest. I wish I knew what this was. I was even given a book to know what it was. But being told I had to find the hero and me just being the messenger for this little journey. Of course, it's pretty normal. With my horn, I lifted it looking at it closer.

"Fleur that's not wise to even try to wear that." Giving a nod placing it back in my bag. Of course, it's a good idea to do so I don't cause another shock wave or attract that silly nightmare creature thing. I don't want to have to deal with that again. Just having to deal with the creatures in this city is enough.

We finally get stuck in a snowdrift on the road. Sparks sighed turning off the buggy grabbing a shovel and digging us out but that would take a while. Getting out myself grabbing the other shovel digging through the snow to try to get the wheel unstuck. But while we dug we found many bodies very well preserved and all had the look of horror on their faces.

Sparks sighed. She was old. I am sure she knew what it was like back then. But seeing these bodies and the horror they had it's new to me. "These deaths are very recent." She calmly said. Blinking a moment thinking to myself. These are recent? Looking at the bodies closer. They had the same horror on their faces as the one's in the bank. that nightmare creature has been here.

" That nightmare creature has been here..." Sparks gave a nod.

" I haven't seen it since we left the Museum. But I do have a feeling that we will see it again." Giving a nod I had a feeling we would as well. But I wanted to move the bodies. Lifting some of the bodies gently with my magic gently placing them in the snow away from the road. They didn't deserve to be run over. That's just wrong and not a pony thing. Setting the bodies back down. Letting them be dead in peace.

"Alright, I think that's.." A large growl is heard and heavy stomping. "Oh, crap..." Sparks stood up quickly standing in front of me and the buggy nod moved. The stomps got closer along with the growling and roaring. We saw it finally but it was hidden like an Ursa major and minor normally are. We stood still as the mother walked through the area with her cubs. We could see their eye's and they looked right at us.

But they kept moving on. It's going to be hard to get through here if we run into all the creatures that set their homes here. I would hate to run into a family of Hydra's and no way to take them down. I don't have the magic to fight one. I don't even have the magic to fight one of the Feral dragons. Looking around quickly another group of Ursas walked to the other side. Sparks blinked.

" This is not normal.." Sparks softly said. "This only happens when something bad is about to happen." She looked at my bag. Looking back at all the Ursa's trying to get out of manehattan as well. It's been years since I have seen Sparks like this. I have never seen her have this type of fear in years. So something I did started all this. But that's not the only creature we saw. Spades even woke up seeing what was coming.

Little Foxes, Even a few Manticore's passed us, one of them turning to look at me. It looked at the bag pointing with its tail at the bag and then at me. Like it was trying to tell me something. Then it stabbed into the ground. It's trying to tell me something. Looking back at the bag. Then back at Manticore. It's something new to me. But something in that bag is causing this to happen. But they kept moving. Watching all the creature's book.

"They all heading to the Everfree forest or what is left of it. That forest hasn't changed a bit since this happen." Looking over to Spark's I have only been in there once. But that was when I was very young and told never to go in there again. I was with my mother on a treasure hunt. Closing my eyes tightly sighing. Hearing louder roar's. Finally looking up at one old Hydra it's head's stared at me.

One of them lowered its head to look at the bag and then back at me. It snorted leaving me alone now. I had a feeling that I got to set something bad in motion. Looking to Spade who came out of the buggy wrapping her front hooves around me. I was very unsure about what I did now. I caused something to happen so soon. That I am not willing to fight anything right. Spade gently kissed the back of my head.

" Don't worry Fleur you didn't know." Looking up to her with a frown nodding. " You did what you felt was right to find a treasure. For you shouldn't care about the world around you because you're a treasure hunter. But please care about my world."

A smile formed on my face. leaning into Spade. I wanted to care for her and fall deeply for her. Since she makes me feel safe. Of course, it would take me time to fall for her. But at least we will still have wonderful sexual fun. But the creature's seemed to have stopped coming through for the time being.

"It might be best to get going. There is an old hotel ahead of us. We can rest there and charge the buggy up. I doubt it's wise to keep going with all these creatures roaming around. It might get harder to move along the city. Because there are so many of them wishing to get into the way."

Giving a nod Spade jumped back into the back. But we had to keep digging through the snow to get the wheel's out of the snowbank. Digging the snow away from the tires. Looking to the old Motel ahead. Finally, the snow was fully gone now around the wheels. Folding the shovel back up putting it back in the buggy and getting inside.

Sparks got in again driving off to the motel but it wasn't the one ahead of us. It was another one farther in the city. Since getting out of Manehattan is hard now with all the beast roaming around at this time. We stopped in the parking lot with more beasts walking past us. I sighed. We removed what we needed from the buggy getting our meat from our heater's. Taking the battery out of the buggy to charge it.

A sigh came from my mouth and we walked slowly into the hotel. Most of the building is very well kept inside. But most of the upper levels look collapsed. So for the moment, it's safer to stay in the lobby. I set the heater on in the middle of the lobby turning it on sighing softly. Looking to Spade who removed her entire armor. Her beauty shined in sweat. I just stared at her. I never met a mare who had a perfect beauty before. She looked at me with a gentle smile.

" You got something to say Fleur?" A blink came from my eye's taking off my helm.

" I um..."

"I am sure what's going on in her mind is Spade. Is that you're so beautiful that it's a flawless beauty."

Spade laughed. I removed my armor as well and my beauty wasn't as Flawless as hers. But she didn't seem to care that I had old scars. She wrapped her large front earth pony legs around me. Pulling me against her large body. "I think it's because of my genes mostly. But my beauty is all yours." She chuckled.

" He sounds good to me, Spade. But I want to explore this place. But for the moment I just want to rest and relax with you." Sparks laughed.

" I will leave you two love birds alone. I am going to let you two talk more. Oh and please Move the heater into the storage room and lock the door. I will knock to let you know I am back." The two of us nodded. I lifted the heater and our armor to the storage room.

000000000

I set down the armor and the heater. I sat beside Spade looking at her. Both of us stayed silent for the moment. But she spoke up. "Well, I have been pregnant before. I can tell you have been as well." Blinking nodding. I was pregnant before because of a lottery. It's a lottery you're chosen from a list. But the issue with being a treasure hunter. Your children are taken away from you. So they can become another treasure hunter.

"Yes, I had one foal. Sadly for treasure hunter's our foal's are taken from us and given to the treasure hunters to raise them. Kind of like what happened to me. But my mother is the founder of the one's in Manehattan it well was easy for me." Spade smiled nodding.

"Yes, my son hates my guts since my family tells him to lie's. So If we ever run into my son Joker please knock some sense into him." Giving her a nod. Looking around the storage room. Slowly standing on my hooves. Looking through the old boxes in the storage room. Finding a file cabinet of old files. Pulling a few of them out with my magic. Taking them back to Spade sitting down to open them up.

They were still readable which to me is very odd. Looking through one of them. The dates have been removed but one of them said. " The princess is on their way." Blank "Talks all of Equestria will be here. But no pony knows what will fix it." Blank. " Maybe they will come up with a plan to fix it."

Lifting an old Newspaper. It said on it the dates have been removed. "The talks with the rest of Equestria have failed. No pony can agree on how to deal with it." Blank. " But most have been showing armor that could be built to fight what is coming. But too much of this wouldn't work. But the." Blank." It is all we can know in the end. But the three known as the CMC have an idea. But we don't know what will happen to the rest of us."

Lifting a memory cube with my magic. Looking at a paper that came with it. "Hey, Scoot's it's your old pal the most awesome mare around. I'm not sure when I would see you again. So I am leaving this memory cube here as a gift for your next birthday. I set it to your DNA so if any pony is reading this and trying to open it. I set a booby trap to fry your brain out."

Blinking placing it inside my bag. "Uh, Spade doesn’t even try to open that." Opening another file looking down the list. It's a list of what the Motel has already. The list is a bit smudged but one thing I can make out is batteries for lanterns. Hmm maybe I should hunt for them I set the list in front of Spade.

" Can you search for these?" Spade gave a nod standing up looking through the boxes in the storage room. But I found another Newspaper. It said at the top. 'The End of the world!!" The date is blank again. I read on. "The world is coming to an end. All the studies and prevention that Twilight tried to perform hasn't helped. All ponies say goodbye to your families and put your affairs in order. Try to ask the Princess is this in their grand plan" I thought to myself the Princess is just Princess why do they act like their Goddesses?

"But they have told us they can't stop this doomsday. But they can ease the problem. They have promised a powerful spell that could save us from this issue. But sadly we all have to be at Canterlot and there is not enough room there for everypony. Discord even offered his magic. But thanks to the test Twilight has done his magic no longer works." The paper stopped there. It was mostly about sports and what is the best food to eat at the moment.

I sighed, shaking my head. I wish I could know what happened. Sparks even knows what happened. But she and the other dragons refuse to speak of it. Looking through the files more. But the rest of them are burned. I have no idea why anybody is here. But when I looked into a closet I finally saw why. There is a dead body of a bear here. It looks like it took bodies of ponies living and dead to eat them. Then got locked inside here.

A soft sigh filled me looking over to Spade who found more boxes. This was getting dull but we needed the paper to make a fire. Looking through most of the boxes but it wasn't much left on there. Just old order's setting the fire but getting ready to make sure it wouldn't catch the entire building on fire. But it's a small fire. I placed a pot over it. Spade went outside to get snow for the water.

I sighed softly. " Spade I am not used to some pony wanting me because I am me." Spade laughed.

" Oh come on Fleur. I want you because you're weaker than me. I am larger than you. I can do what I want to you to make you scream. But my biggest thing. I can protect you. I want to feel that I can protect some Pony and I will protect you." A soft blush formed on my face. I never thought I would need to be protected but of course, I found something that would cause a problem.

After a while, we ate our food, and Sparks finally came in after a while. She fell right to sleep. But Spade and I went off to a little more private part of the room. Not to do anything to nuts. Just that Spade wanted to know me a little more. I felt maybe it's wise that we do learn to know each other.

" Well, the stallion that gave me a foal was kind of a jerk. He didn't give me time to enjoy it. He just went nuts inside me and then well he was done. Said you're too weak for me to enjoy you." I sighed as Spade rolled her eyes.

" That's nothing. I sleep with stallions all the time. But the one that gave me a foal. It was very sweet and kind to me. He wanted to marry me but of course, my family being how they are they didn't like him. All they wanted from him is the foal. So they killed him right in front of me and forced me to raise him. But of course, when I was kicked out he hates me now."

Nuzzled into Spade gently. " With your beauty, I am sure many wishes to give you love. I'm willing to do the same just to give you all my heart." I said softly. Finally seeing a blush form on Spade's face. But right now I wasn't going to fully pursue this till we made it to. "But I am willing to share my life with you. But I would say it's best not to do so till we get to Canterlot to talk about it more.

Spade nodded. " I agree it's hard to focus on love when you have to deal with crises. But sex on the other hoof. It is always something I am looking forward to." She smirked at me. My cheeks turned bright red. Why is sex always on her mind. But I am sure there is a reason for it. She was in a bar for so long she has the body of an angel at least in my opinion. I leaned into her and I felt my heart gently beat. She was so warm. I looked so small compared to her. I loved it.

" It's amazing how did earth pony like you get so large?"

She shrugged. " I am not sure I think it has something to do with earth ponies in situations like the end of the world. But the fact I got this beauty and smooth fur. I think it's the fact of how I was raised to take care of myself. Now I can tell you weren't able to take care of yourself."

Giving a nod looking at all the scars and old frostbite spots. They have healed but the fur never grew back. Some of the fur on my body is growing back but it would take time for a lot of that to happen. Looking at myself still, I didn't have the beauty I did have in my face. But the rest of my body was just very worn. But of course, that's from being a treasure hunter. Being a treasure hunter you do so much to yourself that your body can't keep up with you.

" So tell me what happened to the old leaders of the remnant?" Spade sighed looking away with a blush and then a smile.

"The old leader of the remnant was my husband to be. But my family killed the rest of his to make sure they could get the power they wanted. So they just wanted me to sleep with him so I could get his foal and then they could have full control. That's sadly how this world works now. I'm sure the other factions are the same way."

Horror filled my eyes. I knew the family that used to run the Remnants. But why would ponies be this willing to kill over power? I don't understand this one bit. It kind of bothers me so much. But I guess it's how it's mean to be in the long run. It's how this world is. I lay my head on her back closing my eyes I felt very tired after all this. But I wanted to stay awake to talk to her.

" Heh, My little mare tired?" I gave a nod. Spade gently licked my head slowly nuzzling along me to help me fall asleep, my eyes slowly closed as I felt the sleep take me.

0000

Opening my eyes I felt hooves on my side. Looking up seeing Spade's face. She smiled and kissed me gently. I slowly stood up. Seeing Sparks already took everything to the buggy. Putting on the armor to keep warm. We went outside and Sparks crest was fully out of her head. I knew what this was if something was wrong.

" Sparks?"

Sparks looked at me with a smile. " Come on let’s go before whatever is coming gets to us." The three of us get into the Buggy but before the buggy start's a large dark figure hover over us. Looking up we saw the nightmare creature looking around for us. It looked to be having a hard time spotting us since the buggy blends in with the snow.

I softly whispered. " It doesn't see us. It seems to only sense us when the magic is around." Sparks nodded, starting the buggy slowly driving away. But the creature still followed along with us. Looking around with us. It seemed to know we were close but we stopped in the middle of the road to wait for it to go away. It looked around more. it spoke softly.

" You can't hide from me.." It said darkly but then it vanished for the time being. It looks like it isn't as strong as most would think. I sighed deeply looking behind me to see Spade not sure what to think. But I could tell she knew what that thing was. It could be from old history books maybe but it's very easy to tell.

"Spades you act like you know that thing." She turned to me, removing the helm from her head. She shook her mane out of her eyes. Looking towards me with a gentle smile on her face. But she didn't seem to speak for the moment. Then she looked back to where it was.

" Yes I do but it's old history I'm sure there is a more reasonable explanation on where it came from." I sighed lifting the memory cube in front of her that I watched with the item I found. She watched it and blinked. " So that's what it does. Why have I seen so many ponies lately with the horror look on their face? No wonder why the creatures are leaving the city. I doubt they wish to deal with that thing. it's not going to be easy for them to deal with it."

We went along the road. But again I haven't ever been outside this city for a long time. So I don't remember how long it takes to get out of it. It's very hard to get through here since we don't know how bad the roads have gotten thanks to all the snow. But we stop right near a caravan.

Sparks got out of the Buggy and the caravan was pretty friendly. They looked to be trying to get Spade to stay inside hiding her face with her helm. Since I think some of the caravans would confuse her for the leaders of The Remnant. "Hello, Father..." I softly said.

The stallion, the leader of the Caravan, looked at me. He had a large smile on his face. " My little girl is all grown up. But I can see in your eyes you haven't forgiven me for how I treated your mother." He gave a soft sigh nodding. " So why are you out this far?'

Sparks spoke up. " We found a treasured item that caused the remnant's to attack us. Now they’re chasing us all over. Also, your daughter has a marefriend." My cheeks turned bright red Spade's walked out of the buggy removing her helm. My father's eyes went wide. The other's of the caravan grabbed their weapons.

" No no, she is fine. She is no longer part of the leadership. She gave it up to well have sex with whatever she wanted." Spades nodded at what I said.

"Yes, I gave up on my family. So no worries just when you go there. Please don't tell them that you saw us. I want to be happy." The large mare stood over me. " I am going to protect this little mare as much as I can." She said with a grin. I gave a nod My father who I always said is an ass hole. But I understood why. It's how he was raised.

" Fleur may I speak to you in private?" I nodded to my father. The two of us went a little far away and He looked at me with a sigh. He wasn't a unicorn, he was an earth pony. But he did have a look of regret on his face. it's a sad thing. I have never seen him this sad before.

" I saw your mother the other day. She wanted to get back with me. But I told her she would have to give up being the leader of the treasure hunter's for me to want to take her back. But again she is so stubborn about it. But she also hated the fact that. I had other mare's thanks to the lottery. But I am willing to try with her." I gave a nod.

" Well, dad I am not sure what I can say about it. I am not even sure she is still alive. The remnant attacked the guild. The rest of us are trying to get to Canterlot since It's the only place we feel that we will be safe for the time being. " My father sighed nodding. It was bound to happen. The treasure hunters have been hunted many times over the last few years. But this is the first they have been outright attacked in their guild.

" I do hope I see her again. But the thing is Fleur. Your mother wasn't always happy to be held back by a stallion. The fact she even allowed me to mate with her took twisting her hooves just to allow me to. I had to woo her many times. Now the other mare's no."

Blinking, I was hearing my father talk about my mother like she was a very stubborn mare. Then I looked back at how she raised me. Thinking to myself. Yes yes, that is my mother. A soft laugh came from me. "Yup that's my mother, the most stubborn mare of the treasure hunter's guild. Of course, I do miss her but where are you guys heading?"

My father looked back to the caravan and then back to me. "Trying to get out of the city. It's gotten pretty bad here since the creatures have started moving away from it. I heard stories of some dark creature showing up trying to kill everything in sight."

I sighed. I felt bad that I was the reason that this creature showed up. Maybe telling him would be a good idea. But It's time to get out of here. "Come I need to get out of this city myself. Before the remnant finds me. I don't wish to be here when they try to tear this city apart just hunting me down." He gave me a nod and we walked back to the buggy.

Sparks had done some trading. She gave some very old clothing for more batteries for the buggy and one of the spear-like weapons that need a battery to work. But I don't know much about them. That they're very easy to come by. I remember reading they were made to tame the Hydra's and other creatures of the land. But again it's going to be harder to do so.

"We best get going, dad. If you see mom please try what you can with her. if you're forced to hold her down again as she told me you had to. To just impregnate her with me. then you have to do so to talk about your feelings." He nodded and I got back into the car sighing looking at Spade who placed her helm back on. I think she was known pretty well by many of the other smaller settlements in this city.

Sparks got in as well and we drove off to head through the rest of the city. But the issue is we had run into a little trouble.

00000

It was two hours later and we still kind of got stuck in traffic so many creatures walking in front of us since they have been trying to get out of the town too. But they went the long way. We had to take the road. Thankfully all we had to deal with was angry bears. But again we got stopped by a few. So the three of us got out and took them on.

I was in my armor lifting my left hoof to stab a young bear in the head. I killed it making the parents very upset. Spades being as large as she was. She used her entire body to crush the female bear. It wasn't a pretty sight of course. The blood drained from its wounds. Now the reason it was so easy. Is because most are trained to deal with these creatures. You are taught you strike first and never let up. Some creatures don't know how to act.

Sparks lifted the spear stabbed into the male. But it didn't affect him at first. She stabbed again the bear roaring deeply trying to get to her but the spear kept him at bay. It was like a pain- stick. it would cause him so much pain that the bear grew more savage. Then inside the poor creature's head, it's brain exploded causing it to instantly die.

Spades and I went back into the buggy to let Sparks gut and skin the three creatures. I didn't wish to do that but we had to. These creatures could have attacked the buggy. Repairing this thing is hard trying to find tires that work for snow like this even harder. But yes again that's the hardest thing about this new world. Well, not a new world to me. I am sure some will find this world new to them.

After all, that was said and done. Sparks tied the skin's on the buggy then we were off again. The smell was pretty bad but it kept the other creature's away from us. Getting out of this town was getting harder. Because whatever I caused is making these creatures move slowly, not as quickly as it should be. But it's easy to tell that most didn't even know what was happening. We passed many ponies though the creature didn't attack them which is a good thing.

But we did give the ponies some meat while this was happening. We didn't stay to talk because I had a bad feeling that the remnant was on my tail. I had to get us out of here as quickly as we could. it was my turn to drive. I drove like a fool taking short cuts making errors causing the buggy to strain.

" Stop stop stop!!" Sparks said. "let me drive again please Fleur. I know you wish to rush. But we don't need the buggy to die on us now." She removed one of the batteries placing the charger on my horn again. Making me use my magic to charge the battery.

Now the snow started coming down. We found an old apartment area placing the buggy into a garage that oddly was still standing. We stayed in there while the snow came down. We brought our heater out to make sure we would be warm. Looking at the old map. Sparks felt we are a few miles away from the outside of town. Then we need to head to a town called Ponyville.

Heading down that way wouldn't be easy. Since that town is still there but we needed to go up to the mountain that held Canterlot. But I fell asleep as the two stayed up to talk about me. I did hear a few words before I fell asleep.

" I care for her deeply. I just wish she would let me control some of the things she did."

"Heh, she is just like her mother. I am sure she will when we get to Canterlot then you can clean her up, even more, the treasure hunter guildhall. It's a fort up there since only the hunter's dare to trek up there for so long. I doubt any pony else will even try."

But finally fell asleep.

000000

Opening my eyes to see it finally stopped snowing. But I didn't see Spade or Sparks anywhere. The shadow creature stood over me with a dark smile of teeth showing. "No pony is here to save you." Fear filled my eye's staring at the creature. I didn't understand what this creature was. I tried to stand but shadow chain's held me down. The creature stared right into my eyes. But all I had was the horror.

" P...lease don't hurt me..." I tried to cough out. But the creature just laughed softly.

" Oh, I won't hurt you...But your friends don't care about you. Spade will never love you. She just wants you to be her slut.." The creature smirks darkly. " Sparks thinks you have a giant burden. Maybe it's time to show them all what you're made of. Allow me to help you with that..." The creature laughed.

So much fear filled me. I didn't wish to listen to this creature but I couldn't cover my ear's. But the evil I felt from this monster was even worse. "No, they care for me." The creature just stared at me. It looked around seeing the buggy is gone, the bags are gone. The heater is even gone.

" Oh if they cared about you. Why did they leave without you?" Tear's formed down my face. I didn't know what to think. I sobbed loudly. But I felt something shaking me. Finally, I opened my eyes again. It was all a dream but the tears were real. Looking at Spade who had a worried look on her face.

Looking around quickly seeing everything was still there. The snow did stop but. I stood up leaning into Spade like it was nothing. My eyes burned from the tears. I didn't know what to do or what to say. But I tried to choke it out. But I couldn't. " You didn't leave me."

" Why would we Fancy?" Looking over to Sparks. Who is digging so we can drive out of here? " But you sure had a nightmare whatever it was."

I nodded as I wanted to talk to them about it. But maybe it's not wise to do that right now. Slowly getting into the Buggy to relax and allow them to work. I didn't feel alright after that dream. But Maybe it could be because of that creature being near me. But maybe I will learn more about it sometime.

But sitting near the bag that holds the magic item makes me feel better. Maybe It has an aura of cleansing around. But looking to my friends. I felt that sense of doubt and gloom leave me. I have a feeling it was just a dream and this creature wasn't fully there.

"Hey, how close are you to getting out of this city Sparks?" Sparks got into the buggy along with Spade. She looked at the Map. But she stayed silent for a while. The city could have changed in that map. Just finding a way out of this city is not easy anymore.

"We have to go on the old train tracks." The train tracks. I thought I remembered those tracks; they seemed a bit weak the last time I saw them. But maybe the three of us could drive on them.

" Oddly Sparks there is another way out. Just head to the Remnant checkpoint down south. It's a small outpost so I doubt they know they’re looking for us." Sparks nodded.

" Well it's my choice I am driving So...We will go the safer way the checkpoint."

00000

Sparks drove the buggy south to get us to the checkpoint. But there was another issue. Most of the roads were now hard to see. So we had to go through deep deep snow. It was harder to drive thanks to the snow. But Sparks took her time to get through it. Finally made it through the large Snowbanks. But when we got fully there. We saw bodies of ponies with the look of fear on their faces.

But these look like their old and recently dug up. " Who would be digging up the dead?"

" I think they're searching for something. Some ponies had bits on them when they died. So if you find it’s. Some of the points collect them." Giving a nod looking to Spades who had her armor on just in case we got attacked. I heard of these ponies; they collected old treasures of the past. What we drove they would want. But at the moment they seemed to not bother with us at the moment.

Finally, we fully made it out of that graveyard heading down the road to get to the Checkpoint. "Let me get into the front seat Fleur." Nodding, getting in the back seat and hid behind the seat. Spades lowered the window.

" Oh, lady Spade. Why are you out so far from the Remnant?"

" I have a job to do for the Remnant. I have to get out of the city, do you mind opening up for us?"

" Alright, I will call to see if we can move for you."

Blinking lifting my head and the two looked at each other. "I have a bad feeling about this." Spades nodded Sparks got ready to drive. She knew this wasn't going to end well. We are so close to getting out of the city. But I got very worried that they would search for the bag. So I grabbed the bag hiding it under a hidden compartment. When Sparks and I found this Buggy there were a lot of questionable things in there.

"Lady Spade's we have to search your car for a mare that is on the run from the Remnant." Spade smiled.

" Oh but if you let me go I will make it worth your while." She purred softly to the stallion. " Maybe if you let me go I will let you give me a foal. You will become part of the leadership as well if you allow this." She stroked her hoof along his bare neck.

Sparks smirked. "Lady...I can't I need to follow my job or they will kill me." Spades gave him a pout.

" Go ahead but I am sure you won't find any pony." I quickly placed the rest of the armor on laying under a blanket like it was just a full set of armor.

A group of ponies came to the buggy Spades and Sparks getting out to let them search. They looked through all the bags they could find. Then I looked at the armor I was wearing. But they didn't seem to care. They placed all the stuff back in the bag. Then the stallion looked at Spades.

" I am sorry milady. You may go." Sparks and Spades got back into the buggy. Then a voice sounds out.

" SIR I got a message from Jacks. He said this buggy is the one that escaped from the remnant's." Lifting my head.

"GO GO GO!!" I yelled. Sparks hit the peddle blasting out of the checkpoint breaking through the Checkpoint to get through the last part of the city. Turning to the lookout. We saw the ponies getting on bear's to charge after us. Of course, the bears were ten times slower than us.

"We need to find a place to hide" Spades yelled. Blasted through the last parts of the city. But we found one spot that would be easy for us. But a large Hydra stood in front of them growling and roaring at them stopping the chasers in their tracks.

" How did that Hydra sneak upon them?" I asked softly.

" It's how Dragon's sneak up on ponies."

" How is that?"

" A dragon's secret." Sparks turned her head to look at me with a smirk

" Fine don't tell me" I gave a roll of my eyes.

We finally made it out of the last stretch of the city to what is known as the Valley of Blight.
