“This is the way the world ended,” the words on the paper stated. · 11:50pm Jun 19th, 2017
“This is the way the world ended,” the words on the paper stated. The words, written in the diary, as if they had been placed there for no other reason than to record a posterity that even she couldn’t have imagined. I mean, who could? Nopony – no being – could have ever foreseen what was to come.
A colleague of mine at the University, Dr. Esteban Julían Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa-Ramirez (note: Spanish scholars’ names can be a hoofful), explained once that many cultures on Human-Earth had gone through such a trial, although not with the, ahem, “flashiness” that we had. Dr. Ramirez, in fact, stated that his own nation had gone through such an upheaval in the 20th century, with their king supplanted by a dictator, who upon his death reinstalled the monarchy. I suppose that was to be expected; reading from the Queen’s journals, she herself appeared to not be prepared for what actions were to come.
“This is the way the world ended,” was the lone line on that journal page. When the entry was revealed, she stated that she had been trying her hoof at poetry and that it had nothing to do with the trials that were to soon come afterwards. The sad part was that she suffered so much, watching her family, her loved ones suffer and while blessed with incredible power, felt like merely a mare that could do nothing more than to stand by the sidelines and watch as our world – Alter-Earth – went straight to hell in a hoofbasket.
I guess I’ll have to interview more of those who were alive at that time. I always wonder what it would have been like to live through what we call the Great War and what humans call World War III (a misnomer, given that this war never happened on their world), but I guess on a day like this, a century ago, there was not a single individual who could have predicted what would come in short order.

Yeeks. This sounds pretty ominous.

True, but it does reveal that there is hope, in that Alter-Earth isn't completely wrecked, and Canterlot is apparently still there...
So it sounds like Chrysalis had a change of heart. Let's see what make her change her tune. So are we getting another 4th of July chapter?
I can definitely see how pony apocalypses would be more sparkly.
Holy crap is All American Girl getting an update?!
