Fallout: Equestria: Shifting Tides Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterThe post-apocalyptic sun beat down over the broken asphalt that served as a road as I awoke, confused, alone, and with no memory of who I was. What I could only assume were my only possessions lay scattered across the ground, just out of reach. Bandages, braces and other medical supplies lay closest to me. A rifle was lodged in the ground a few feet away, while various types of ammunition littered the area.
My first attempt to rise to my hooves was thwarted by the broken, dented and charred power armor that encased my body. From the condition it was in and the way it restricted my movement, I could only assume it was dead, the matrix having been damaged by something.
After a few minutes of wriggling, I managed to get the power armor completely. Now free of my metal prison, I started sorting the supplies and scrap into a pair of saddlebags nearby.
Within minutes I had managed to salvage every piece of equipment on the ground that still worked. I turned to look back at the power armor, deciding that I might still be able to get a fair price for it at the next settlement. I shifted it onto my back, the armor weighing me down and almost causing me to fall over. As I wondered how far I would be able to walk with the armor on my back, a glint of metal among the dirt caught my eye. I glanced in the direction of the glimmer, and my eyes came to rest upon a helmet matching the armor on my back.
Deciding that the helmet couldn't weigh me down that much more, I slid the power armor off of my back once more and deposited the helmet with the rest of my supplies. As I rebalanced the armor on my back, I turned and stared into the cloudy abyss that was the sky.
After a few minutes of standing there, staring transfixed at the cloud cover, I turned and began down the highway toward what I hoped was the nearest city.
