"And the world shall end in fire. From it, a new world will be born in its ashes. A world of tragedy, of fear, and of an unclear future...only to be cleansed by the ancients who used to roam this earth. Such is the way life on this planet will go."
This is the hidden prophecy that very few knew about. Nopony knew when, and nopony knew how. They would only know after the fact. And their fate in the new world would be left to the gods.
This tale of adventure and self-enlightenment follows Fluttershy, a very timid and soft-spoken pegasus, and her friends as they face a post-apocalyptic Equestria and all of the hardships, encounters, and struggles they will all face as they try to survive...and nopony is safe. Survival can bring out the worst in us. Will Fluttershy be changed by what she faces in this new world? Will anypony else? Is an even bigger threat just around the corner?
The first eleven chapters are written as an adventure story from an omniscient POV, while the rest of the chapters are written from various characters' points of view, and detail what happens after the first eleven. It used to be twelve chapters, but I combined chapters 6 and 7 and reordered the rest.
As of right now, it's complete, but I'm always ready to go back and make some parts better if needed.
