Equestria has changed, in a way. The clouds move, the animals live, and the plants grow- all on their own. The sun doesn't shine. The stars, I've only seen on pieces of paper for... Ten years now?

But, in a way, Equestria is the same. Somehow, nopony decided to yell everypony to himself. Somehow, we still stand united. We still value friendship, we still think of the pony next to us over ourselves, we still have meaning in the word "harmony".

It's a dark world. A cold world. It's an everfree world.

Despite that, we shall live on. And we will do so together.

Heavily influenced by Metro 2033 and shares many themes with the book. This is NOT, however, a crossover.
