This is a rewrite of my story Equestria Broken but in first person instead of third person. I didn't really like the way the story was being written so a good friend of mine suggested for me to try something new. I'm really liking how it's coming out so I decided to post it.

This is a grimdark MLP story in an alternate universe. King Sombra rules the land which is decimated by plague, starvation and a rebellion uprising. Clout, an introverted thief who lives his life in the shadows, is forced into circumstances he is going to have to learn how to navigate with the help of two ponies he calls stalkers.
