Chapter 1:

"What is my purpose here?"

"Wake up!" "Wake up!" " Mystic,How have you been?"

A very familiar voice calls out to me. It was from my dear friend Cherry Blossom. She is a young mare with a scarlet coat and blossoming pink mane. Her cutie mark is a cherry blossom tree. It is unfortunate that I can't see her and see how pretty she is. I was born with a rare blindness, that the old world had cured before the war. I is not going to make it kill me. I live just like every pony else. Oh, what do I look like? Well, from what he hear from every pony, that I am a purple unicorn with blue hair, with green and red streaks. I also have foggy gray eyes. That tends to bring attention to myself, every time I leave my room.

Ponies would come up to me and ask, "You can't really see can you?".

These tendencies would bring thoughts that I am nothing more than an experiment to them. To research and make an analysis. But, Cherry Blossom is different, she has treated me just normal. Just like every pony else. That is one thing I loved about her. I still remember how she got her cutie mark. The first thing she did after telling her parents was to tell me after. Which tells him that she cherishes our times together. The stable dwellers gathered together to decide what to do for her. They decided since the cutie mark was a plant/tree, that she will be working on the agriculture group on keeping our orchard going with food supply. With her new job and pip-buck, that was a great day for every pony. I use telekinesis to pick up the walking stick, I had laying on the side of my bed.

With the purple aura of Mystic's horn vanished, he went up to Cherry Blossom and said, "I have been well. And you?" As a smile show his shiny white teeth. he could hear her sighing saying how work has been stressing her. the information he just gathered from her astounded him, the orchard is not having luck growing as it once had.

"I don't know what could be the problem with it. My best guess that the artificial sun lights is not providing enough gamma rays." said Cherry Blossom with great importance. With this I thought,

"How can we fix this problem at hoof." "Have you told anyone else of your theory?" he asked Cherry.

Mysticrunes and Cherry Blossom, decided to head to the overmare's office to discuss further on this matter of importance. As they left my stable room, the ponies around notice, the quick pace they had going to the office. The stable is a bleak and colorless place. It's no wonder that some ponies think about the outside. The only thing they heard during our trip there was the overmare's voice echoing. Her voice sounded really melancholy, which brings me, with some concerns. With walls gray and floors, its Like, always the blindness questions pop-up, just to be ignored. With the rush, I almost lost my walking stick, my thought went to where some colts and fillies would take and hide from me. Which made me realize how others see me as a toy or monster to them. As they went up to the overmare's office door, he heard whispers outside saying, "What could be so important to have him go to her office?" said the whispers. Withholding his tears from what he heard.

"Why must they question everything I do? I don't ever questioned any pony on what they do or don't do. Why am I the exception of this?" thought to Myself.

"Welcome!" "Welcome!" said the overmare The tapping of the overmare's hooves, showed that her concerns have been overwhelming her. "This has been stressing me since our last overseer passed away." But, enough about myself, what have you found out about the orchard?" asked the overmare. As the overmare asked the questions she looked into my direction, "Why is he in here?". The overmare has white coat with a gray mane. The aging is showing very well on her, the bags in her eyes and sagging of skin.

"I decided to bring him along with me." said Cherry.

"I don't see why, you like the company of this bumbling idiot." said the overmare.

I had a thought of telling her off, of how he can be very useful. But, for time sake he left it be.

" Just tell her why were here." Mystic said with slight of anger towards his voice.

"The lights over the orchard are not giving enough gamma rays. I have no idea how to fix them other than entirely replacing them. I checked the supply room for any kind to work with, but there is no replacement." said Cherry.

"Well I guess we are all doom, because I am not going to send any pony outside to find this replacement. Its not worth exposing us to the outside world." said the overmare.

"But, you will kill us all, just for your fear. You are a coward in a power position, they don't know that you are dooming them. The ponies deserve life after the stable. Was that not the goal of the stable tech. The world could be brimming with life and we are stuck in here walling ourselves off." said Cherry.

"How dare you question your leader like this? I hope that the outside world is like you said it is. Guards! Guards! Take Mystics and Cherry to the stable door."

The guards came barging in to help the overmare with her plans. They had dark padded armor that is unstoppable for a normal pony to pierce through. "This is not right. To let every pony to die for fears. Please don't do this." I pleaded.

The stable door is enormous, it had the numbers 007.

"Put in the code in the terminal." said the overmare.

"but that would be a death wish to these two." said guard one.

"Just do what she said. Or I do it myself!" said guard two.

The guard put the code in.

Boop! Beep! Boop! Beep!

The guards stepped back as the stable door opens. The sirens in the room is ringing to the top of its lungs. As a drill start to pull the door open. It locks and slide the door open. The guards held Cherry and Mystic and put them outside the stable door. The guards ran back inside. While the overmare press the button to close the door. While the door sliding back to the way it was before. At the last minute the overmare wave goodbye to them with a big grin. "Goodbye you two see you in the next life." said the overmare.

Clank!

went the door forever from them to open. They were in a dark and musty cave. The cool breeze came in from the entrance, which I felt with a twitch of my ears. What came to be two stable dwellers from stable 7? Now outcasts from their home. They thought at the same time.

"What to do next?".
