Chapter 2 sneak peek

Moving through the destroyed city center was rather tricky, the mix of collapsed buildings and totaled cars made for plentiful obstacles and even more ambush positions, which is why I chose to move building to building, between alleyways and backdoors, this made for slower progress but the extra cover was nice and it gave more scavenging opportunities.

I now found myself in the first floor of a relatively intact apartment building, the receptionist’s desk was broken in two, likely from someone getting bucked by an earth pony, splashes of dried blood in the splinters confirmed my theory, a few dried up potted plants stood by the windows, broken couches, center tables and chairs were piled up near the center of the room with not much else of interest I continued up the stairs which creaked slightly as I stepped on them.

My heartbeat was pounding on my ears as I tried to keep my weight evenly distributed to make as little noise as possible, my knife clutched tightly in my hand, step by step the top of the stairs became visible and just as my eyes went over the last step, I noticed a tense thread going across.

“It’s boobytrapped, should’ve known, well better make sure that is the only wire. I mused internally as I pulled out my emergency flashlight and shone the top of the stairs, sure enough a couple more threads became visible, they didn’t look like a typical human made wire*, immediately my white streak of hair began tingling, as if the unpleasant memory of magic caused an allergic reaction “So if this is pony made, the has to be a vial somewhere, and most likely if these stairs are trapped so is the rest of the building.
