Speda Hooves- Origions

Desolate Landscape

Previous Chapter

Desert was what crossed my mind first. Then I remembered stories about how vibrant, green, full of life the book of harmony had described outside of the stable, about 267 years ago, before the incident happened.
So this was what it had changed to. Almost nothing left of life, except a few stray leafless trees and bushes about, with little 'rivers' winding about, but it wasn't clean from what I could see.

Immeadiately, I checked my Pip-buck, and found a new radio station was connected. "Rainbooms Radiostation". I immeadiately turned it on, and heard a scratchy sounding voice of what I assumed was a female, with the tone.

"Heeeelllooooooo ponies of the Commonwealth, this here is DJ Pon-3, and hope you've all had a glorious morning! Sandy Slandy coming to you, right now!" The scratchy voiced mare yelled with enthusiasm, before a nice tune started to play, something I've never heard of before.

A weird name for a song, but it did it's trick to brighten me up immediately. I looked at my map, and found the signal was a few miles to the east of her, so I set off to see who this 'DJ Pon-3' was all about in the Wasteland.
A few hours of traveling I came upon the first two Ponies I've seen outside of the stable. Both of them looked, let's say, 'Unsightly' if Rarity, the element of Generosity was to see them.

The first pony was a mare, with spiked up hair in a mohawk fashion, with blood covering her hooves, while the second pony, a Stallion, seemed to be more clean, but with a weird 'intrument' sat against the couch he was on.

Deciding on the logical choice of action, I used my magic to grab the 'instrument' just in case. When hovering it in front of me, I found it was one of those guns that Sputnik told me about.
It was almost cylindrical in shape, with a small handle for magic, or mouth that could operate it, and it was in a small stature. The first name that came to mind was of the 9mm pistol.

[Flashback]
"Small as it may be, it's one of the most powerful pistols out in the wastelands, which can be very life-saving. It can also be just as Life-threatening." Sputnik spoke to me in a commanding, wise voice, full of experience.

[Flashback end]
I shook a little as I remembered his teachings, and how he told me what he had done with one of these at his time as a Wanderer. It wasn't as difficult back then, cuz I was just a filly, and didn't understand.
Now. Now I do. I look over at the two Ponies, and aim slowly at the one on the couch, but I hesitate and think it over. Instead, I get up, put the gun in my bag, and start walking towards them.

"Hello?" My voice seems to shock them awake, cuz they are on there hooves at once, bristling, as the Stallion looks frantically for his gun. "I... I'm not here to cause any trouble, I just want to ask which wa-" I'm stopped as I feel a burst of pain in my cheek.
As I slowly recovering I notice the Mare with a wicked smile as she uses her mouth to pick up a small sharp weapon. A Knife.

". . . Fuck" I say, as I turn to run.


Author's Note

Again, I'm new at this, so don't be too harsh, but make sure you put y'all's inputs in, so I can learn to be better, and thanks in advance! Also, I'm not good with coming up for song names that would be in the Mlp wasteland, so yeaaah.
