Somewhere in Russia just west of ST. Peters berg, 7:14 PM
Location: Wilderness
It was a calm day in Russia the sky was blue, not a cloud in sight, the birds were chirping, the infected were growling, yah it was a beautiful day in Russia or at least as beautiful as it could be in the world's current state. Off in the distance 2 bipedal figures came over a hill top from the east. One wearing a mix match of whatever clothes they could scavenge, while the other was wearing a light blue colored military uniform.
"Simon, are you sure the quarry is this way? We have been walking forever." The survivors asked with a tinge of impatience in his voice, he spoke with a heavy Russian accent, not all that strange seeing as they were in Russia.
"Yes I am sure Alek. Now will you just shut up and let me look at the map again?" Said the military Private, with a more American accent. Reaching into one of his pocket's he grabbed out a small piece of parchment.
"Alright if we are here the quarry should be just west of us." Simon stated pointing towards the west while putting his map back inside his pack. Both of them began to move towards the west once again not expecting to see 2 brightly colored equines laying on the ground in front of them.
"Cyka blyat! What the hell, What are these?" Alek yelped with confusion and fright in his voice.
"You handled that well." Simon said sarcastically. "They just look like horses, sure they are unnaturally colored but who knows who owned then before the outbreak." Simon said to his new survivor friend.
"Oh yah, then why do they have horns and one of them has wings, and they do not look fake." Alek said whilst kneeling down to inspect Starlight and Twilight closer. He plucked out one of Twilight's feather's to show to Simon. "Look these are real feathers. If this was a costume it would cost a hell of a lot, plus it is in great condition considering where they are and how long it has been since the outbreak." Alek stated.
"I guess you are right." Simon said trying as well to figure out why those two ponies were out in the middle of the Russian wilderness. "How about this we will take them back to Camp Kazan and let Dr. Swanson inspect them, that sound good?" Simon asked.
"Alright, but we best get back before it gets dark, tonight is a full moon." Alek noted, his eye twitching when he mentioned the full moon.
"Then let's get moving we can check the quarry tomorrow." With that the two humans picked up the ponies and their bags and began the long trek back to Camp Kazan.
Somewhere on the coast of Russia on a small island between 3 rivers, 8:48 PM
Location: Camp Kazan
Twilight began to stir rolling left to right on her small cot. Little by little she began to open her eyes and saw a wooden roof above her and a heart rate monitor on her right and a divider curtain on her left very reminiscent of a hospital. She began to sit up not really realizing where she was at the moment or even what world she was in. Then all of a sudden it all came back to her in a split second. She shot up from under the covers and almost fell off the bed.
"Starlight, Starlight! Where are you!" Twilight begins to yell trying to figure out where she was. She quickly got up from her bed when all of a sudden a bipedal woman wearing a doctor uniform walks in. She has long lavender hair not too much unlike Starlight's coat color. She did not seem shocked at the fact that Twilight could talk.
"Hey, hey, calm down." She says in a soothing tone trying to calm Twilight down.
"You are safe here, no one is going to hurt you." She continues to try and calm Twilight assuring her that she is safe here.
"Who, wha- what are you? Where am I!" Twilight asked in a panicked tone.
"You are in our clinic, we are at camp Kazan, My name is Dr. Swanson, now please calm down." The Doctor started to explain to Twilight. "You are safe here, you don't have to worry about anything."
"Where is my friend? Her name is Starlight. Have you seen her?" Twilight asked still acting a bit panicked.
"You mean the pink mare with a purple mane?" The doctor asked. "She is outside with the troops." Dr. Swanson stated.
"Wait, troops?" Twilight asked while tilting her head to the left. When all of a sudden Starlight started to hear music coming from outside the building.
It was not like any music Twilight had ever heard before. She was immediately even more confused than before. Alongside the music she heard many voices singing the lyrics of the song at least biased on what she could hear.
"The fact that they are playing music must mean something good must have happened." Dr. Swanson said looking outside to see what was going on. Twilight was still very confused and worried about where Starlight was.
"Listen you seem like you have recovered biased on the fact that you are standing up so I will show you outside real quick so that you can see your friend." Dr. Swanson said "Just so that you can calm down, I will explain everything soon."
"I guess, I am sorry if I am acting panicked it's just that I am very confused about what has just happened." Twilight explained to Dr. Swanson that was still waiting at the door way. "I think it would be a good idea for me to go outside."
With that the Twilight and Dr. Swanson left the room. Twilight immediately started looking around to gather her surroundings. From what she could see they were in a rather large cabin. The room they just left was obviously the clinic biased on what Dr. Swanson said along with the many pieces of medical equipment in there. Now they were in probably the largest room of the cabin, it had a high ceiling with plenty of couches and a few tables spread around. Twilight saw 3 other doorways in each corner of the room but she could only begin to guess what the rooms were for.
"Just follow me this way I will show you outside." Dr. Swanson said leading Twilight to a rather large entry way that seemed to lead straight outside. When they went through the entry way Twilight was met with the sight of several more bipedal creatures all wearing light blue military clothing. Most of them were sitting around a camp fire on cog benches while others were sitting on picnic tables. Some of them had caps on others had vests and helmets while a few of them had berets on, and most of them had a cup in their hands but Twilight could not tell what was in the cups. In among the crowd Twilight saw, Starlight sitting with the other troops and even singing along to the song. She even had her own cup holding it with her cyan magic and taking a few swigs of the drink.
"Starlight there you are!" Twilight exclaimed rather shocked to see her sitting with the bipedal creatures.
"Oh Twilight your awake, umm, Cliff can you hold onto this?" Starlight said moving her cup towards one of the troops wearing a cap.
"Sure thing starlight." The soldier said reaching out to grab the cup. Once the soldier grabbed it starlight hoped from the log bench she was sitting on and stood in front of Twilight.
"So you feeling alright?" Starlight said to Twilight. "You seemed pretty shaken up from the teleportation."
"Yes I am fine, you seem to have made a few new friends." Twilight answered.
"Yes these people ,I have learned to call them, are super nice." Starlight stated. "Come sit with us, I have a lot of explaining to do." Starlight said starling to move back towards the bench she was sitting on a few moments ago.

"So what you are saying is that in this world this world these bipedal creatures called, hu-mans created an extremely contagious disease that turned billions of them into monsters essentially?" Twilight said after a few minutes of Starlight's explanation.
"Yes, that about sums it up." Starlight said with a rather nonchalant voice considering what she just explained. "Now that we have that out of the way we have to talk about something else." Starlight began.
"What would that be?" Twilight asked.
"Based on what I have been hearing there have been huge surges of energy all at around the same time all around the area, I think it may be the rest of our friends." Starlight started to explain. "They say they have never seen anything like it before, even before the 'outbreak'."
"So, you are saying that our friends could be anywhere in this monster ridden land?" Twilight asked starting to sound a tiny bit panicked.
"Well yes but they said that they know someone who might be able to help us look for our friends." Starlight answered. "They say that he lives just south of a town they call Novobirsk." Starlight explained "They also gave us a map so that we could find him." Starlight said while she pulled out a piece of parchment.
"So, if we are here then we just have to go just west of here then we will be at the location." Starlight mentioned to Twilight.
"Then we should get going we need to find our friends as soon as possible." Twilight said already starting to move back to the cabin to grab her things.
"Not so fast." Starlight said grabbing Twilight by the back leg. "Look over there." Starlight said while pointing to the horizon. Twilight listened and looked up to see the full moon just over the horizon going ever so slowly upwards. "The soldiers mentioned that when the full moon rises no one should leave their shelter unless they want to get eaten. We can stay here for tonight then we will get moving tomorrow morning." Starlight said.
"Alright," Twilight Sighed "But the second the sun rises we get moving so that we can find our friends, got it?" Twilight said in a surprisingly aggressive tone.
"Alright, alright, jeez." Starlight said surprised by Twilight's aggressiveness. "Let's just get some sleep." With that both starlight and Twilight went inside to see where they were going to sleep. They both ended up being assigned to a small tent on the south-east corner or the camp. Once they knew where they were going to sleep they entered their tent and went to sleep.
