Well, I should probably start from the beginning.
About 17 years ago, when I was just a filly, it started. It started with just one pony. They started biting others for no known reason.
It spread like wild fire, with ponies running for the safety of their homes, only to be dragged out by these creatures. screaming and snot bubbling, they were dragged out the door, molars that were meant for shearing lettuce tearing through their flesh.
There was nothing they could do. I was only one year old. I grew up with a rich family, so I was one of the lucky ones. My family hid in our hurricane shelter deep beneath the earth, in utter blackness for months (it could have been years, I gave up counting.), on end.
once we got out, we discovered the horror that was the remnants of Equestria. plants were deing with nopony to water them, the starting of three major cities throughout the wasteland, and worst of all; the death of Celestia.
the cities that were created were:
A huge walled in town, Fort Evergreen, run by Twilight and was mostly covered in fields of wheat.
An underground bunker, Stone Haeven, witch was run by Luna and home of the miners.
and lastly, an organization run in the mountains, The Northern Summit, which was ran by Cadence, and specialized in technology.
My family joined in with Fort Evergreen. The ponies there told us about everything that had happened, the death's of Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Flutter Shy being one of them.
Devastated by there lost, Apple Jack decided to create a group of messengers, witch eventually turned into a full cadet squad. Joining the training corp's to become a messenger was an option for young foals and fillies, were they learned how to fight of lurkers, avoid wasting rations and so forth. Messengers would take scrolls written by several ponies from one city to the next, and were accompanied by one navigator.
it just so happens that I am a navigator. I am Compass Rose, and this is my story.
