Fallout Equestria: Fallen Angels

by Tetragrammaton

Chapter 0: War, war never changes

You've heard stories about the wasteland before.

Stories about broken bonds and fallen heroes.

About a wasteland filled with darkness and sorrow,

a land in which only the strong and heartless survive.

You've heard legends about heroes and heroines,

who tried to overcome this darkness, but were eventually

swallowed by the abyss.

In a world where there are neither virtues nor deities anymore,

where there is no light and no hope, only despair remains.

Equestria, a country of peace and friendship. A Country one couldn't wish for it to be better.

But two hundred years ago, the peace, which was kept for over a thousand years by our ruler, princess Celestia, ended.

The war against the Zebras began and with its beginning our world of harmony ended. It would be nice if one could say, a villain or a demon of some kind would have started the war with the intention to destroy the world, but we did it all by ourselves. Giant factories rose from nothing, missle silos as big as skyscrapers appeared and recruitment posters of the army could be seen everywhere. Virtues mean nothing in battle and so the war ended as it had to end: with the destruction of the known world in the radioactive fire of the megaspells, both sides used.

The capital of my race, the Pegasi of Equestria, was the first city to burn in the fires of war.

But unlike the nations of the surface, the pegasi didn't perish. Many of us saved themselves by flying up to the cloud cover, which serves as habitat and home for over two hundred years now, protecting us from the poison and the radiation of the surface. If something from down there comes up to us, we are protected by the military force of the Grand Pegasus Enclave, the government of the pegasi from before the war.
In this environment I, Whirling Feather, was born as the daughter of a High General of the Enclave Military.

Let me tell you my story.

Let me tell you everything.

If the not yet blinded have any questions or suggestions, said people should leave a comment below.
Someone will read it and then something will happen. At least that's how the universe of FIMfiction usually works.

A special thanks goes to Kkat for creating the FoE world in the first place.

Keep up the good work.

Wow. I really love the beginning! Concise, emotional and not using the stereotypical 'War... War never changes' in the text itself (I've read it so many times, I'm probably mentality scarred by now), it's all I've ever wanted in any Fallout prologue! There's one little thing though... 'Missile silos as high as skyscrapers'? Isn't that a major tactical error and a big bull's eye for the ennemy?
