Brick, otherwise known as Johnny Appleseed, is a quiet and stoic farmer pony who led a quiet life of farming with the help of a very dear friend of his. That was until a fateful event had him brutally beaten, farm raided, his barn burned, livestock mutilated, and the scream of his dear friend being whisked away by a passing raider group calling themselves The Fiends. Brick, utterly hopeless at the time, now finds a new life to live. One of journey and longing. Picking up his great grandfather's battle saddle and grenade launcher to be the only things on his person, he sets off in search of his mare-napped friend. But there is one issue.

He remembers the events. But there is a gap in his memory that spans 6 months. And not only does he have to deal with the harshness of the Frozen North. A mysterious shade seems to follow him at every turn.

(This is a short story to resolve a subplot in my main story, Fallout Equestria: Lineage.)
