Moulded by the harsh environment of a post-apocalyptic Moscow, Artyom was always the man to do what it took to get the job done; anything to protect the Metro and all of those that would rebuild humanity. He destroyed the Dark Ones to protect mankind and the final stand at D6 was no different. Faced between letting the Communists control the entire Metro and destroying the easiest method of sustaining thousands of people, Artyom took the route of sacrifice by killing himself and destroying D6.

So was the end of his journey ... in Moscow. Lost in a new world, Artyom is faced with surviving in a foreign environment. How can a man born in war and violence survive in a land where such are nearly alien concepts? One thing is certain, he must survive for he won't get another chance.

A pony could retire on that kind of jackpot...

History remembers Sombra as a brutal, power-hungry tyrant, controlled by the darkness in his heart. A force of pure evil exceeded by few.
But was he truly as harsh as the history texts make him? What if, behind all the megalomania and paranoia, there was a pony who felt that he was truly doing the right thing. Both for his people, and for his son?
