Written as part of the Fallout Equestria group's Secret Santa writing prompt.
Red Eye is the unquestioned ruler and tyrant of Fillydelphia, in charge of a unified slaver empire that controls a large portion of the Equestrian Wasteland.
But that was not always the case. While many know that Red Eye took control of Fillydelphia through a combination of charisma, intelligence, and likely no small lack of violence, there are countless conflicting rumors as to how the enigmatic stallion actually first arrived at the slaver city many years ago.
This story depicts one such story of how the famed slaver lord first arrived at the gates of the city he would one day rule.

great story as always, I have been always curious at how Red Eye became lord of slavers, by his sheer charisma and force of will. To be abed to get slaver lords to bow to him is incredible, all the wal managing to restart the factories of Felydelfia without falling into depraves or be killed by an underling for so long.
this is one interesting way of imaging how a seemingly shelters young stable pony became such a power houses.
also if you want a quick way of reeding FoW, I normally put fanfic through Natural Reeder and set it at speed 9, you can go through the entire thing in a few days. Last summer, I reed Viva Las Pegasus in two days.
keep it up
The title just demands it....
Wow. Cheers man, that's a pretty awesome story. The "dignity and pride" line is great - I'd honestly never thought about it like that.
This was well written, and quite enjoyable to read. (Especially since I don't read much pony fiction anymore.) Though, I can't help but feel a little nostalgic when I hit up the occasional Fallout: Equestria one-shot. One thing I would have done was make it a little shorter, but its always interesting seeing how others think about his arrival.
I always imagined Red Eye told his ma' and pa' goodbye, with a kiss on the cheek, and took off on his expedition to journey across the world. How would he brave the trip? Why, in his top-of-the-line hot-air balloon! One day, it got lost in a twister, and when he came down it was years later and the world was completely tied up in the apocalypse. Thinking that he fix everything he cut out his eye, got a fancy new one, and set off to make an awesome emerald city.
Joking aside, this was a nice read. I gave it a like. Well done, sir.
