When Home's Lost - Friendship Was Magic ST
There was once a time when harmony existed in Equestria.
When laughter was not brought on by madness.
When honesty was a virtue, not a risk.
When loyalty was considered honorable, not foolish.
When kindness was from the heart, not for making a debt.
When friendship was magic.
That time has long since passed, and the Elements of Harmony are now just rusted memories. My friends, the princesses, so many have been corrupted by Discord's curse. The land of Equestria is now in chaotic ruin, but this time it is not chocolate milk rain or cotton candy clouds. No, it is storms of fire and chasms that split the earth to its core. Blizzards of rust and floods of acid. A forsaken land, where nopony dares to tread.
Fortunately this was contained to my home. For some reason it was the only place Discord wished to exact his revenge on. This gave others a chance to flee, yet the help offered by those that took them in was almost nothing compared to what they abandoned.
I fled to the Griffon Kingdom alone after my closest friend betrayed me, another victim of Discord's dark and twisted magic. Here I scraped out a living, denying any assistance from the government and accepting no help that was not completely neccesary. It was hard, but I eventually made a new home and a new life.
My name is Spike, I am a dragon, and I have spent the past nine years trying to forget the past.
But the past is about to catch up to me.
