Darkness was the first thing to greet me when I woke up for the first time. No I do not mean opening one's eyes awake, but awake as in conscious. I could feel my body's nerves were awakening for the first time I've ever known as feeling slowly came to my body. I felt no ground under me,but liquid of sorts the was slowly draining from around me. My eyes slowly opened as I saw a relatively sterile room with liquid draining into a drain in the floor. a window sat on the other side of the room near the door. I took a step with caution since I couldn't remember moving before, but my body slowly caught on to moving on my hooves. I walked over to this window, and dust rust and dripping liquids. The door next to the window was soaked in the liquid I had been floating in.

'Where am I?' I thought to myself looking around. I tried to think up something but...nothing? My mind was blank of any memory of where I was, What I was doing or more importantly, Who I was. I walked over to the door and pushed it open. Apparently the hinges had rusted themselves so badly, that the lock was pointless since the door just slammed onto the floor when I tried to open it. I walked out of the room to the outer room and it was in terrible shape. Metal was rusted, dust gathered in piles, and part of the building had caved in judging by one of the halls being blocked.

I walked towards the empty hall and saw that this part of the building was in worse shape with entire room having been collapsed into each other and ceiling tiles on the floor. Making my way through the mess, I ended up in a room with a lift still powered by something. I moved onto the lift and pushed the button which screeched as the rusted lift moved up. The lift screeched to a halt in front of a solid door with several skeletons strewn about.

'What happened here?' I thought to myself as I walked over to one of the skeletons. On its foreleg was some thing. I don't know why, but I felt like I was going to need it and took it off the skeleton and put it on. It snapped shut itself on my foreleg and I continued to walk over to the door and saw a simple button on the wall with "Emergency Evac" written in faded yellow above the large button. I pushed the button and the door hissed causing me to jump back as the door slowly rolled out of the way to reveal a passage made of dirt. 'I was underground? Why' I pondered as I walked my way up the passage which curved upwards in a spiral of sorts. The tunnel ceased its spiral and for the first time I knew of I saw light from the sun.

Walking into the sun's rays I saw a truly horrific sight. The ground was waste with few dead looking patches of grass. The cave that I had come out from was in the side of a mountain that overlooked an abandoned town. This town was crumbling with several caved in homes visible from the mountain. moving carefully i tripped and fell face first in front of a puddle. Looking at myself for the first time I was curious. My eyes were dark green with black slits whilst my muzzle had black stripes on it. My mane was a long gray pile next to my face. Standing up I was the stripes were in various places all around my body and two lumps sat on my sides. 'What are those?' I questioned reaching to touch one with my hoof. As my hoof contacted the lump I felt a tingle sensation from where the lump was. 'What?' I was curious and tried sensing where the nerves to the lumps were and feeling something tried flexing those nerves and out popped two flaps that stretched out a distance away from my barrel.

"What am I? Who...am I?" I said to no one in particular. I walked trotted carefully down the side of the entrance to the cave which was already near the foot of the mountain itself. I trotted carefully towards town looking around the buildings. walking inside one I stop still. A skeleton was laying on the springboard of destroyed furniture. next to the body was a small container with a blood pack in it which I grabbed. Going building to building I looked for anything that could help me, but it wasn't much.

"Find anything?!" A scratchy voice called out. Whoever it was sounded healthy and furious.

"Nothing boss! Place is fucking dead!" A voice called back. I walked out towards the voices and was shocked to see two ponies wearing metal rusted plates tied to vital points with cheap cloth underneath. Trying to back away I heard a click behind me.

"Don't move Mustang. Boss I got somepony!" a mare called out behind me. The two armored ponies walked my way as the weapon to my back nudged me forward into the light in front of the duo. The two gave a slight move backwards when they saw just what they were looking at.

"Well Well This is a big fucker." The scratchy voiced stallion said looking me up and down and I did see that I stood a good height above this stallion and his soldier.

"I bet he'd make a pretty cap if we gave 'em to the slavers. Or maybe a brothel? I know I'd take 'em to the back room." the mare behind me called. I turned to her and she winked at me which caused a shiver for some reason. The stallion smirked at her.

"Keep an eye on him Silent. Congratulations Mustang, you get the honor of following us to your new home." The scratchy voice stallion said whilst the trio surrounded me with weapons pointed at me to keep moving. What was gonna happen to me? Who were these crazy ponies and why do they call me Mustang? Whatever was going on, I didn't know enough to run and no weapon do fight my way out, so I followed.

Little did I know just how important this first encounter was to my future in this hellhole that I would learn to call The Wasteland.
