I did however find some survivors they seemed to be Equine but were colored differently, and seemed to speak the language of the humans. I realized that they may deem me a threat if I walk up to them in my current form, I kneeled as my form changed into one more Equine. My hands and knees became hooves, while my feet twisted and retreated into my armor. This body worked the same as the other, I slowly trotted over to them keeping my suspicions. "What happened here?" I asked.
"We don't know, all we remember is an explosion then we were like this." The tall white one replied.
"Do you remember anything before?"
"Just screaming humans," The scrawny grey one responded.
"There was a human settlement a few miles back, it was completely deserted." I replied.
"We might find some information back there lead the way." The white female said smiling. she was different than the others, she had wings and a horn, my systems designated her as an Alicorn, a combination of the Mythical Creatures Pegasus and Unicorn. I slowly led them back to the ruins. "What is your name?" She asked keeping pace next to me.
"I do not know," I paused for a moment and searched my memory for any hint of my designation code. Cybernetic, Holographic, Replication, Yggdrasillian, Archive, Living, Information, System, C.H.R.Y.S.A.L.I.S. "Chrysalis,"
"That's a strange name, mine is Celestia,"
"Not as strange as yours,"
"Touche."
"How long have you been out here?"
"About three days, give or take."
"Do you remember anything before the explosion?" I was curious how these horses could have survived radiation high enough to kill humans.
"I remember a little human girl, she brushed me, rode me, loved me. until I woke up one morning to find these," She flared her wings. "And everyone I loved was gone, I wandered for hours until I found a pond to drink from and found I had a horn,"
"Interesting, I remember a man who spent every day by my side until, he left and never came back."
"That's too bad, how long ago did that happen?" She seemed generally concerned, Concern an emotion similiar to Pity.
"Fifteen years,"
"My goodness, that's terrible, that must be why you look so horrid," A silver Unicorn showed disgust with my appearance.
"Platinum, don't be so rude, she's just a little unkempt," Another Unicorn female, purple in color snapped back. "I'm so sorry she's a bit snooty, my name is Clover."
"I would say it's a pleasure, but that one ruined my mood." I roll my optics.
"We all have gotten used to life with the humans, but it's looking like they aren't here anymore,"
"Aw, tomorrow was Tammy's birthday, every year we'd sit in the stables and eat chocolate cake, I miss cake." A yellow female was depressed, Drepression a feeling of extreme sadness, see Sadness. "I am Puddinghat, This is Cookie," She pointed her hoof at the pale grey male.
"Who cares about humans, I was born to be wild," The sage green Pegasus was energetic, and already familiar on how his wings worked. "Mustang Hurricane, and that's Pansy,"
"That's not my name,"
"Don't care learn to come when I call it,"
"Now that introductions are out of the way, we've arrived." I stopped at the crossroads in the center. I scanned the large tower that stood in the middle of the fork.
