So this is my very first ever fanfic, I hope ya'll like it, oh and please comment, I'm very new at this

My names Jacob and I don't know how or why I got here, all I know is that some certain equine creatures need our help and I intend to give it. This is a story of the time my squad and I were suddenly transported to a land called Equestria by a near death situation, and what we did to help the certain equine creatures that lived there.

Inspired by: Sandstorm Inkwell's- Salvation

P.S.- oh and this story is mostly unlike his story only the idea goes to him for credit.
all other characters are to my little pony: friendship is magic for credit

Life is fleeting. In an instant, a normal day can shift into an endless nightmare.

That's what happened mere decades ago, when a strange cloud appeared over Equestria and the surrounding countries. The world crumbled and thousands perished in the destruction caused by what is now known as "The Blight."

Now, ponies scavenge the ruins of old Equestria for anything to help them survive. All seemed lost until a mysterious group, The Great Royals Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Discord, and Twilight Sparkle, appeared with a message:

"We have hidden old Equestrian Bits all over this world, and whoever finds them all will be granted a wish...so long as it is within our power, it shall be yours!"

Thus the great hunt began. Ponies the world over began searching frantically for their chance at a better life. However, those searching soon found The Blight came with more than destruction and decay. A new race, strange and unlike anything seen before, arose from the murk to fight for their wishes and desires.

Let the games begin!

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.
