I always thought times never got better, that time only decays the longer we live. This “infection” of destruction seemed to worsen every day. Towns evolved into ghost images of its former self and life seemed to have ultimately turned grey. In my eyes, I thought it would be natural that the earth would reclaim its land. 

I am Kindra Skywing and this is my account of the evolution of Equestria. My ancestors before have been famous scholars, historians, and adventurers and I feel like it is my duty now to write about what I have done.

My story began in my small town of Motania which is as old as Equestria itself. My town had never had its bad times but it never had its victorious times either. I was born on the happiest day of the year. To be more precise, my birthday was the day Princess Celestia raised the sun for the summer solstice. When I was brought into the vibrant new world, my parents saw something special in me. They saw that I would be important for the world and it would need me one day. 

My name is derived from the word, “kindle”, which means to start a fire. I always asked why fire to my parents. They never explained to me their insane thinking but I love my name either way. It was a cute name. I went to Magic School and had my crushes on colts there. I wish I didn’t seclude myself in my own studies all those years ago. 

I hope that whoever reads this that their intention for reading is for knowledge and that they learn vicariously through me. This is the tale of the mysterious ailment that plagued Equestria with months and almost years of death and darkness.
