The tale of Shadowbane

In the year 2134 the human world suffers a major continental catastrophe. North and South America merge together along with the country of Greenland and the western half of Antarctica. On the other side of the world the continents of Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia merge together to form another super continent. With all of the world’s former governments and leaders completely stunned by the event, millions are killed. Currency for all major countries becomes nothing more than fuel for furnaces and stoves. The world is left to fend of itself against weather, nature, and other humans for the next two years.

In 2136 the former presidents and prime ministers from all the former countries in the western hemisphere come together in a secret meeting to try and solve the problem they are faced with. After many weeks heated debate the world leaders finally agree on a new name for the super continent. The countries of the Osean Federation, Sapin, and Ustio are born. The economy quickly started to flourish and the population had started to rise. For the first time in two years the chaos had started to subside.

Rainbow Dash’s cloud home above Ponyville

Everything was going well for me. I had just gotten my first promotion as weather manager for Ponyville. My friends couldn’t be any nicer and I had just bought a new cloud home right above Ponyville. My life is perfect as of right now. So why do I feel so sad? I talked to Dr. Whooves, the local pony doctor, and he said it was merely the effect of the move. That the new environment was affecting my conscious. He told me that all I needed was a few days in my new home to get used to it. That was six weeks ago and so far nothing has changed. I wake up in the mornings and I don’t want to get out of bed, I don’t eat, and I don’t sleep. Hell, I don’t even fly anymore. I haven’t talked to any of my friends in weeks and I’ve shirked my duties as the active weather pony. My beautiful cyan coat has become a dull grey and my rainbow mane has become nothing more than a grey and black mess. All I wish for is to be happy again, but I don’t think even flying with the Wonder bolts can do that. I need action, I need adventure, I need…..love.
