Ashes and Dust
Power for a small favor. The offer no pony could refuse, and one that shouldn't have been accepted. Told by Rainbow Dash, the one at fault.
As hard as she might try, Rainbow Dash couldn't seem to acquire the abilities to be a star Wonderbolt, and it crippled her ego. Strange circumstances lead to her meeting a being of dark intentions and deceit. One deal would give her a powerful gift. The cost? The being wants transportation to a new home. A seemingly simple deal ended up being a catalyst for horrific events, leading to the very land of harmony being turned into a shell of it's former glory. The survivors have to attempt to pick up the pieces. Including Rainbow herself.
Told by the pegasus that caused it all. A story of loss, hate, bitterness, and vengeance...
Rated Mature for some descriptive violence and language.
