Load Full StoryNext Chapter

Far away from what is known as Ponyville, once stood a town. This town wasn't so different from Ponyville in its social behavior: Every pony was friendly towards every pony else. The town thrived on its ability to be able to trust your neighbor with developments for your family. In fact, this town was such a closely tight nit community, that the thought that it would collapse was the furthest thing from reality. Or so it seemed.

What was once a testament to what could happen if ponies set aside their differences, was now burning in the hot sun. The town was plagued with wildfires on such a daily basis, that they had taken preventative measures.

Except for this one time. Because the once prosperous town had been abandoned for three whole weeks before the boiling sun caused one final wildfire to engulf the town.

Standing on a hill, looking out towards this town, a lone green figure began walking away from this burning town.

"They were all gone..." A female voice said as a narrator. "By the time I got back, they were all gone. No one was left."

The green figure continued to travel away from this village. "I couldn't find any bodies, but if they were alive, they would've come back by now." The female voice said. "The only thing I can do for them now, is let the fires burn away the village."

The fires continued to consume to town, which was now nothing but a speck behind the strange green figure. "I may not be able to give them proper funerals, but I can promise their spirits one thing..." The female voice said.

Suddenly the camera panned across the green figure, and then stopped on the figure's yellow eyes, which soon became slitted in anger. "If I ever find the ones responsible for this, I will bring them to justice. Only then can their souls rest in peace."

The scene faded to black around these eyes, and then even those faded away.
