The last pony

I woke up in the morning to see that Silver was still sleeping soundly. Seconds after I woke up, she woke up.

I opened my curtains to see something very strange, the sun and the moon were both in the sky at the same time. Silver flew over to me and landed on my back. I trotted through the castle heading to the throne room noticing that there were no guards anywhere.

When I got to the throne room, my parents weren't there. After that I looked in their bedroom, but they weren't there either.

Maybe they're somewhere in the empire I thought. I left the castle and began walking around, but not only did I not find my parents, there was nopony anywhere.

"What is going on?" I asked myself. Then I thought "Maybe they went to Ponyville"

I went to the train station to go to Ponyville, only to find that the train was half off of the track on fire.

"What is happening? The Empire is abandoned, the train is trashed, and I can't find my parents. Guess I'm going to have to fly to Ponyville."

I made sure that Silver was secure, spread my wings, and began the long flight to Ponyville. As I was flying, I noticed that there were no Pegasi flying around, even though I wasn't flying very high off the ground. That made me even more confused.

A couple hours later, I landed in Ponyville. Unfortunately, It was also empty. The marketplace, which usually was full of creatures going from shop to shop and chatting with other creatures, was unusually quiet. I tried calling out for anycreature that lived in Ponyville, but got no response.

I walked over to Sweet Apple Acres and discovered that most of the apple trees were piles of ash while the others were burning. Sugarcube Corner was littered with ruined sweets and had many ants crawling all over the store. Carousel boutique had torn dresses and cloth everywhere, Fluttershy's cottage was also a pile of ash. I assume it was because of the storm last night.

After exploring what remained of Ponyville, I walked over to Starlight's castle. I opened the door and started walking around the long empty hallways, looking through rooms to try and find anycreature. But no luck

I left the castle and then flew to Canterlot to see if Aunt Twilight was able to help me. When I arrived at the door for the throne room of the castle, there were no guards anywhere. I opened the door and found that it was also empty. But there was a message sitting on Aunt Twilight's throne.

The message said, For whoever reads this message, something terrible has occurred. Last night, a strange storm came and began zapping creatures from existence. I wish that I could've given you the message myself, but it seems that it isn't the case. I hope, whoever you are, will be able to survive on your own, because it doesn't look like we'll be able to ever return. Farewell.

When I read the message, I realized. I was never going to see any of my friends or family. It was just me and Silver for the rest of time. I wanted to cry so much, but I didn't. Crying will make you weak, and there's no room for weakness in this new world.

By this time, I was very tired from flying for a lot of the day. So I went to my Aunt's room in the castle, teleported Silver's crib to the room, and went to bed. But before I fell asleep, I quietly said, "Mom, dad, I wish you were still here. I just want to tell you that no matter what happens, I'll keep Silver flame safe. Goodnight, Mom and Dad." Then I fell asleep.
