Intro
I am Solar Flare. This is my story. My story of how I met my friends and survived this post-apocalyptic Equestria. It's a long and at some points boring story. But stick through to the end you might learn a few things about love, friendship, loyalty, and survival in a harsh and hostile world. First, let me tell you more about Equestria in the now.
It used to be wonderful, colorful world. Filled with smiles and happiness and the occasional giant monster fight. There were four princesses. Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight Sparkle. There was peace. And then the war happened, fueled by our own greed, selfishness, and paranoia. The earth was engulfed in balefire and dark magic.
It was to be expected. Resources were dwindling. Neighboring lands began fighting for more space. So, the solution was the Stables. Huge underground bunkers built with arcane pony technology. They have everything a pony could want. A cafeteria, a gym, a movie theatre, a library, sports fields, all the likes of which make life bearable down here.
For some ponies at least. For most, this wasn't enough. So after the megaspells rained down, they went outside and were greeted by nothing but a barren wasteland. But here in Stable 5, he had all we needed. So on that fateful day, when spellfire rained down from the sky, the giant steel door of Stable 5 closed. And it remained that way for as long as anyone can remember.
