Equestria is in shambles, an unknown disaster struck Equestria over ten years ago which has radically changed the environment and killed most of the population. Some surviving ponies tried to revive society but there was another problem, somehow the disaster has also given random ponies extraordinary abilities.

Rising Sun is an earth pony affected by the disaster has set out wandering Equestria trying to find the "artifact", an object that can send its owner back in time. Armed with a katana and a creature that calls itself Youkai, he try's to find the artifact and hopefully save Equestria.

This is the second time I have written this story, the first time it sucked. So this time I am going to try really,really hard to make this one good. Criticism would be much appreciated.
