//------------------------------// // What happened... // Story: October // by Khanathara //------------------------------// She saw the city from her regained memory, but it was in ruins. The same black dust from the bar covered the street almost entirely. The buildings crumbling and stained with marks. She turned her head in the direction her instincts told her the castle was, and saw nothing but ruins. Looking back at the building she came out of she saw that it was just barely held together. Unknowing what to do she began to walk in a random direction, guided solely by instinct, her curiosity running rampant. She had to find out what had happened. After several hours of walking she saw nothing but more ruins, rubble, and black dust. That was until she got to a poorly lit avenue with very little wind. She saw a silhouette down the street. Walking down the surprisingly clean street she started talking when she got within hearing range. "Hello, can you tell me w-what happen...." She trailed off as she got closer seeing that the silhouette was not a pony, or at least not anymore. It was a collection of black dust and ash. She decided to take a closer look at her surroundings, and noticed several other ash and dust statues. Then she noticed that the rubble surrounding her was not stained black, but were pieces of other statues that had begun to fall apart. A leg here, a head there, horns, wings, tails, and bodies... bodies. "Oh...oh no. This is worse than what I thought." The lavender alicorn said. A small flash of memory and the statue before her was temporarily replaced with a butter yellow pegasus with a pink mane and tail. She reached out to caress the figure, but when she touched it the left side of its face fell away. and it took her conciseness with it. She was running. She could hear a number of others running with her. "We have to stop her!" One of them shouted. "She's going to kill us all!" Shouted another. In the city square there stood a pony, a cyan pegasus with wings spread. "NO!" The pegasus yelled. "I AM GOING TO SAVE YOU ALL!!! Ahaha AHaha AHaHahAHahaAHaHaHaHAHaAh" She had to stop her. The pegasus was her love, her life. But she couldn't let her do this. So she lunged slashing her sword and... There was a flash of light from the other ponies horn. But... but she was a pegasus. Wasn't she? After the flash, the memory, started over.
