When I finally stop running through the dark hallway, I turn around and see the heavy door to stable 35 slam shut. I'm alone. All by myself. I'm starting to believe that my plan wasn't so fool-proof. I turn on the light on my Pipbuck. All around me are the remains of over 15 ponies.

"Oh shit!" I say under my breath. It's horrifying. I try to shake it off and keep walking. I come to another door. Nowhere near the size of the stable door. Just big enough to be about the size of my bedroom door. Beyond it there's light shining. I trot up to it. When I open the door I see absolute destruction everything around me has been either burned, blown up, or hoof-destroyed. Why did you go out here Black? What is so appealing about being out here. Also, what I said earlier about it being sunny, well, can't say that anymore. The sky is a hazy brown. And I seem to be in some shop. I look at my Pipbuck to see my location. It says Quills and Sofas. Well, that's straight forward. I defiantly see burnt quills all over the floor and see what seems to be a few sofas. I start exploring. I think I'm in some kind of town. I look at my Pipbuck again and it says I'm in Ponyville. I was right, I was in a town. To no surprise whatsoever, I see more skeletons. Wow, this is... disturbing. Then I hear gunshot. BANG! I thought it might be Black Monsoon so I fly up to get an aerial view. Then a shooting pain goes through my right wing. I start to plummet towards the ground. Through the pain I spread my wings to slow the fall. When I hit the ground I look at my wing. It started to hurt more the second I looked. It was gushing blood. I blacked out. When I awaken I see a pony standing over me. It was Black Monsoon!

"Dude are you alright? I thought you were one of those raiders!" He says.

"Raiders? I've never heard of that. What is it?" I ask.

"Not it, who. You see, raiders are basically like those stories the older ponies used to tell us when we were fillies. You know the ones where ponies would eat other ponies," He explains.

"Is that where the bodies came from? Or were those always there?" I ask.

"Oh, those were always there. Also, I wrapped your wing. But, you should probably lay off it for now. I hope you like the place," He says. I sit up and look around. It looks like a castle. But could that be? There wasn't any stories about a fourth princess. Or was there? I never payed much attention in school.

"Dude are you okay? I heard a gunshot!" I ask.

"Yeah, I just killed another pony because they pulled a gun on me. Earth and pegasus ponies, they never see the levitate a gun behind you're back trick. No offense," He says.

"None taken," I say. We chuckle. I can't believe it. My friend is the one who accidentally shot me. Well, the way ponies find each other. AND DON'T TAKE THAT THE WRONG WAY!

"Dude, you should get to sleep. It's been a long day. It would be good if you got rest. I'll stand watch I've gotten used to it. I've been out here for three days. Just get some rest, you'll be okay," He says. That's the last thing I hear before I dose off.
