Record of chaos- The Better six

------- August 18th, 3 years post dragon heroes.----

In new equestre the food industry once big and diverse, was now small and selective. Now highly focused on efficency and having enough supply for the public. Therefore state aid in the form of subsidies for any non vital or efficient farms were cut off. Making only the farms of high yield or public interest being able to survive by sheer demand.

In the contrast farms that however focused on highly important goods, or had a high yield or both, were supported by the state with subsidies , for obvious reasons.

This caused a select group of farmer families to rise to the top of the food chain as it may.

Specifically,4 hours away from lancelot, specifically in the south west, laid a farmming field of 65,000 hectare dedicated for farming apples. This being because Apples have a relative easy farming process, are low cost, therefore available for the public and highly nutritious and tasty.

The sole heir of this "empire" currently was none other than ambrosia apple or amber as she liked to be refered as. Sole daughter of the red delicious apple family branch. Her late brother and sister, Red chief and royal gala just like her inherited the farm business and its responsability to the ponies, even since their parents died 3 year ago during the dragonic genocide event, event wich triggered a masive increase in corrupted mana and in consecuence corrupted mana creatures. one night after encountering corrupted mana monsters. Their parents lost their life protecting them.

Ever since that Amber and her sibling have beeing by the wing of her uncles from the Cider family branch, wich helped saw the chance for a perfect business transaction as they took them by their wing and at the same tim took a part of the holdings of the business as they were now their legal protector, altough its true they cared for them to an extent, specially since their uncle Strong bow and their aunt pilot cider were not able to have kids due to their aunt being sterlie.This apparent act of duable good will however came not without a cost, in this case forcing them to adapt to the expected peformance they now required for directs heir of the business of their parents and high class they now were. She just like her brothers was on a strict regime of social manner classes, as well as being instructed on a pletora of all kinds of things such as how to do business, how to negotiate, finance, how to make a deal, how to...blackmail. any think you can think off the inheritors of a gobal enterprise have to go through basically.

However this stress, responsabilities and expectations were too much for her little sister: Royal gala wich was ovewhelmed being only 6 years old, unlike her older sister being 8 and her older brother being 9 in this envioronment. To the point one day she got sick however the medicine being scarce and her little body being overworked She died of high fever. Something neither she nor her brother ever got over, more so of red chief wich while he always was a man of few words, after this only ever responded in "yes" or "no" in most ocassions. Mostly to keep to himself but also to revel against the the injustice of the situation and his, in his opinion tyranic uncles. While her younger sister heartbroken too, found solace in her education and training, like a workaholic would like a cope mechanism. And it would have been so eternally if her brother didnt do what He did.

Little did she know, her brother never fully accepted his new "destiny" so he tried finding life outside of family business walls , never to tend to the fields again like they likd to, so he decided to do community service in a shelter nearby taking food and his time to help the ponies and ocassional other species there, since as you can imagine there was litrle help due to the current situation world wide. So any help was welcome , there he met sweet noice, a purple unicorn filly that just like him lost her parents and was residing there. A Mare he quickly got in love with. However said love would not last , for one 18t of august after his lessons, he returned with a smile to the local shelter, but all he found was a flattened building with blood in the near grounds tainting it.

"The monsters.... how dare they!" He knew what happened. He was not an idiot. A couple of corrupted mana "monsters" most have passed the border walls by chance and started their rampage, taking down the Shelter among other buildings and lifes in the process.

He tried to look for Sweet noice in denial of his situation but his efforts were but rewarded by a stab in the lower abdomen by a black tendril behind his back, and due to his low size because of his age the tendril basically pierced more than half of his abdomen completely.

Soon after , as he tried to escape in insufferable pain, as if mocking him arrived the guards and mages to stop the creatures, allowing him to barely ecape to his nearby home: The small castle of a-ppleasure (pun intended), were he merely droped to the ground in the front gates

There he was found by amber.

"RED CHIEF!, WHY?!, WHAT HAPPENED?!, WHAT DO I DO!?" She screamed In fear and desperation s she found her older brother with blood pouring from his wound.

Red chief looking at the wound and considering the blood he lost, decided he would not make it. So while a servant went to get help, he decided to give his goodbyes to his sister.

"Corrupted's happened." He summarized as he coughed blood "but no matter, look amber i dont have much time, so lister clo-"

"You will not die!, i... i... i will...."

"Shut up amber, and let me talk while i still can!." He coughed more blood.

His sister was shocked at the outburst but complied.what could she do but wait for the family doctor to run here anyway?.

"Look, i met a filly not that long ago. She, reminded me of you way back then before all of this. Before Our parents, before Royal gala. Her name was Sweet noice. She, Despite everything she was through... she tried to be happy and i came to love her" he was whezeeing now.

"She died, just like i will" he simply stated looking at her.

"So promise me, you will not keep immersing yourself in the work and expectations they impose on us, on YOU and will not waste your life!. You could die at anymoment, just like she did!, like i will!, so please be happy!, do what you have to do, to be so!"
He was now holding his stomach as he coughed blood klot after blood klot.

"I... i... i will..." she said in a whisper as she looked to the side.

"DONT LIE TO ME!, i know that tone! That face! Our uncles made you "prudent" to act according a situation...and to lie convincingly if necesary! But it wont work in me, promise it for real, amber, please!". His brother was convulsing, he was in shock due to blood loss.

With trembling hands, now in the form of a punch she screamed in defeat " FINE YOU BIG DUMBASS!, I PROMISE BUT DONT YOU DARE DI-"

But before she could finish her outburst her brother body relaxed and stopped moving as his brother took one last inhale and in relaxation a small smile was plastered on his face

"Thank god..." he whispered as he closed his eyes

Before she could even process what happened the family doctor came running and pushed her aside to check for his vitals and treat him but..

"We were to late..." he whispered. As ambers kneels reached the floor and her world came crumbling down.

"Red chief... not you too!, i... i cant... please.... how will i ever be happy if-

but before she could continue with her desperation a big ray of rainbow colors that came from lancelot could be seen even from were she was, as it tainted the nearby sky in lavander color as lavander waves of wind vibrated to all near vicinity.
