Fallout Equestria: In The Beginning

        I slowly faded back into the realm of reality. I looked around and saw the air flying past me, I looked around a second time and realized I was still in the chariot. I poked my head over the edge and saw Canterlot down below, we were just a few minutes from landing.

        “Decide to join us in the real world I see?” I looked and saw Sky Chaser speaking to me.

        I replied lazily, “Ya, just another bad dream.” He looked oddly at me then decided to ignore it. The pegasi guards behind us started to go back the way we came, their job was over.

        As we neared the ground I saw my dad standing next to the runway, as we touched ground he started towards the chariot. As he neared, Sky Chaser dismounted and opened my door for me.\

I jumped out of the chariot and straightened up, slowly trotting over to my dad, only to see him looking at Sky Chaser sternly.

        Dad looked at me and said, “Viren, go inside, your mother wants to see you, I’ll have to talk to Sky Chaser for a minute.” I knew better than to disobey him, I ran inside at his command. Sky Chaser was going to be in deathly trouble, the look dad gave him could kill a pony.

        “Viren! I’ve missed you so much! Come over here and give me a hug!” I looked and saw my mom, I honestly hated it when she was like this but I decided to ignore it for now and trotted up to her and hugged her. She probably had no idea what had happened on the flight, dad has always tried to protected.

        I looked at her and finally said after being hugged to the point of near death, “If you keep hugging me like this I’m going to die!” She instantly let go of me and had a caring look on her face.

        She looked at me caringly and said, “I’m sorry I just missed you more than you can imagine! I can’t believe you’ve only been gone for a month now! Not only that, but you're only a few months away from being eighteen!”

        I looked at her and knew it was hurting her from me being out of the house, she had enough stress as it was, I decided to indulge in her feelings and hugged her back. From the look she put out, it looked like that helped her out mentally more than anything could right now.

        As we finished, we both straightened up and as usual, she rushed off to some unknown part of the house. My mom was always busy just as my dad was, they were very important ponies to the government, my dad being not just a Royal Guard, but a Field Commander and my mother being one of the head advisors to Luna.

        My family was pretty much broken apart by the lives we lead, there was no way to turn it for the better, because they were important, so was I, I usually kept my actual life a secret, it was by my father's request that I go to a school anonymously, he said it was too dangerous for me to board at a school by my real name. No pony at the school knew about it but me, it was a harshly kept secret.

        As I was left alone in the main hall I decided to check my room out, I started towards the stairs at the other end of the room to notice that there were much less servants in the house, usually this place was bustling with ponies trying to clean up.

        As I trotted up the stairs I realized that the tension in the house seemed extremely different, the lack of servants had been one thing, but they usually greet me as I trot by them, odd.

        I opened the door to my room to notice that nothing in it had been touched, dust had gathered on the bed, the couch had the same indent marks where I usually laid on it, and the tables of my drawings were all still scattered.

        I slowly walked into the room and had a strange feeling, it didn’t feel natural to be in here, I didn’t like it but I ignored the feeling and laid on the couch, now what should I do for the few hours I have before dinner.

        I grabbed a ball and decided to bounce it against the wall. I threw it on the ground halfway towards the wall, it bounced up and hit the wall only to recoil back to me, I repeated this a couple hundred times as the seconds turned to minutes, and the minutes to hours.

        Nine hundred and ninety eight, nine hundred and ninety nine, and ei- shit, I missed it. The ball hit the bottom of the couch just out of my grasp, I decided to quit that and was bored out of my mind!

        I knew I was going to regret this, but I pulled out my papers that Mr. Royal gave me, I looked at his assignment, in bold letters it said, “Stop Thinking, Be Free” The type of thing he would usually do.

        I threw that over and looked at the next one, math, what the hell does that sign even mean! Forget it, I threw it over in the stack with English’s. I pulled out Equestrian History, hrm study the Lunar rebellion? Chapter fifty two through sixty five, I think I’ll do that for now.

        I slowly pulled out my Equestrian History book, flipped to chapter fifty two and started reading.

Chapter 52

The Lunar Rebellion

This was a dark time in Equestria, two sisters who once ruled in peace and harmony were broken apart. The reports of the cause of Celestia’s sisters transformation was unknown, some say it was a taint from Discord himself, others believe it is a celestial mark, one thing that they can all agree on though is that something had created the dreaded Nightmare Moon. This mare refused to lower the moon for the sun and had converted thousands of ponies to follow her essence. They were forced to battle against one another in a bloody civil war, the technology at this time was not sufficient as they are today, their weapons consisted of magic spells, helmet blades, and tridents. Thousands of ponies were injured and lost due to these battles, the economy during this time was at an all time low in the process and all production of technology had halted. Th-

        I looked up at the clock, still a couple of hours left, eh, why not get some sleep. I trotted over to my bed, put the book down, and fell quickly asleep, god I missed this mattress.

        “Corporal, Get up! Corporal! Now!” I slowly looked up to see that the world was an even darker shade of night than usual, I looked up to see four night guards chasing down some Royal Guard pegasi, but they were in the out of date issue armor, where was I?

        “Corporal! Finally you’re awake! Luna’s forces have made a pour through the ravines, there going to overflow this area any minute! We have to get out of here!” I looked up and saw an officer of the old guard. What the fuck?

        He started out the door and I noticed I wasn’t hearing any chain rattling, but explosions, those were magic spells being cast! I instantly jumped and started to follow him. I looked down to see a white but mud stained coat on me, who was I?

        I ran around the trenches dug in the ground only to hear more explosions nearby. this was going to be a terrible dream. I realized something even worse, I was lost. I looked around and started to hear a loud roar of battle cries coming from over the wall to my left, I knew that was what I was avoiding.

        I instantly started off running to the pathway on my right and it seemed as if I would never escape. all of a sudden realized something, I looked at my sides and couldn’t believe what I saw, wings!

        I instantly tried to jump up and fly but fell down flat on my face, I had no idea on how to use them! This completely sucked! I pulled myself up as fast as I could and started to run again, I decided to get daring and look behind me, I saw hundreds of ponies with a deathly face put on charging towards me.

        No matter how fast I ran, they kept up at a perfect speed, this was terrible! I looked ahead and noticed that there were other Royal Guards running in the direction I was going, the ones that couldn’t keep up were engulfed by the army of bodies chasing us down. I heard a couple of agonizing screams behind me but that was all, how was I going to escape this!

        I was trying to run my fastest when I tripped, as I tumbled forward it was as if I was flying out of my dream, the world dissolved around me.
