I was trotting around in what used to be Equestria, looking around me at all that was left were corpses, blood, and debris. It had basically become a charnel country with all the buildings and houses vandalized.
I had a backpack with me, I was trying to survive with the sole purpose of telling Sunset Shimmer how Equestria ended and that this doesn't happen again in the world where she lives.
I think she deserves to know everything that happened, I have a lot to talk to her about.
I hope the little food I have will be enough. I managed to get 2 apples, a chocolate bar, bottled water, and of course, a bubble pipe which will definitely help me stay calm., it always helps to have one of these.
Now I need to find a less chaotic place to contact Sunset.
I was trotting for a few minutes, I was in Ponyville at the moment, the smoke from the explosions made me cough all the time, maybe if I head to the park I can find a place to feel comfortable.
A place with fewer buildings would help me get away from the flames and smoke that covered the entire village.
I went to the park, I found several corpses that I recognized instantly, one was a gray pony with yellow mane and bubble cutie mark, she was hugging a filly that I don't recognize because she was pulverized, her ashes were taken by the wind, next to a tree I could see Spitfire, had melted skin with her mouth open, screaming in agony before dying.
I can't believe I'm part of this... but the guilt, the sadness that I carry with me what good will it do me? The damage is already done, I knew that nothing good would come of this.
Avoid looking at their bodies although with so many around it is hard for me not to look and see how a land of happiness and harmony would end this way.
Finally, I was able to find an intact bench. I was surprised for a few seconds that it wasn't damaged, considering it was almost impossible to find an undamaged structure at this point.
I took a seat and placed my backpack aside. I would need plenty of water for the many words that would spill from my mouth today and in the months ahead, I hoped what I had would suffice.
With the phone I have I could keep in touch with Sunset Shimmer, I had given her one when I went to visit her in that other world, it was much better than the book since I could tell more easily when she sent me a message and we could see each other face to face instead of just expressing ourselves by text.
It was called the Eclipse Intuit phone, created in the year 2056. Almost all ponies had one. It's impressive how technology evolves over time, although it was also the cause of all this...
It was like a bracelet that was placed on the hoof with a touch screen, it was also included with a projector to be able to see the screen with better quality and resolution.
"Call Sunset Shimmer" I told my phone while on the projected screen it said "Calling" I was a little nervous about how Sunset Shimmer would react, I don't know what to tell her about all this, it would be best to stay calm and she will also.
I tapped my front hooves nervously. Sunset was taking longer than usual to respond, which was fair since I sometimes took my time in responding to her.
I even started to sweat, not only due to the heat of the flames but also because of my nervousness.
To ensure I don't forget the details of what happened, I have detailed documents of each superpony created in my Eclipse.
"Twilight!? Long time no see, sorry if I didn't answer but I was in class" I gave a little jump when I heard Sunset's voice, apparently she had not noticed my surroundings.
"Twilight... What happened? why Ponyville looks... destroyed, are you okay?" Sunset's feelings suddenly changed from happiness to sadness.
"I'm sorry Sunset that you have to see this... But horrible things have happened these last few years, you're the only pony I can talk to now, please, I need you to be strong and stay calm" I told Sunset in a serious manner without showing anguish.
"I don't know what's going on but okay, are you sure you don't want me to go to Equestria to help you? With whatever is causing this?"
"I'm going to explain it to you from the beginning but first to make sure, are the girls with you?" I responded to Sunset Shimmer with a question, I didn't want her to know just now that the portal is broken and cause' of that she no longer has a way to return to Equestria. I have too much to tell her, the time will come to cover that topic.
"No, they're not with me, I told them I was heading home" Hearing that made me heave a sigh of relief, I just need Sunset to know about this, she doesn't have to tell anyone about this.
"Why don't you want them to know what happened? Sunset asked, continuing to look away at me, she noticed my messy mane and my lab coat full of holes.
"Because what I'm going to say won't be easy to digest, I specifically contacted you because you deserve to know, I don't want the girls to know... not in this moment, the right time will come for you to tell them everything. It may take me days to finish this speech if it could be said that way, it would be better to tell you when you are at home" I told Sunset Shimmer.
"Oh...Okay, it really must be something serious, I'll listen to every word you have to say to me" Said Sunset with an unfocused look.
I waited until Sunset got home to tell her everything. While all I did was sit and wait... there's not much I could do at the end of the world, everything destroyed, nopony to talk to.
I lay on the bench for a while, looking at the horrible sky. It was red and full of smoke, the complete opposite of what was once beautiful and bright.
Sunset Shimmer had called me, she had finally arrived.
I responded immediately and asked "Are you ready for what I'm going to tell you?"
"Yes Twilight, I don't expect anything good from this..." Said Sunset lowering her head.
