night of sorrows: Fall of the guardian core

The sounds are somewhat a blur as the ringing came out into full blossom. why was there ringing? oh right the explosion just a minute ago. i hear as the sense returns shouting. screaming off into the night like the gates of Tartarous tore asunder and it's darkness spilled out onto the town like that of blood from a deep cut.
the air was saturated in smoke and fire flickered all around. the assault had only began around ten minutes ago and already this pandemonium had engulfed all of Citeydell. as i struggle to me hooves i look to my sides, my team is gone! had the blast taken them i couldn't say,rather i'm surprised i'm alive, then the gratuitous amount of pain surge in my forelegs i look at my own side and see the shrapnel dotting my armor in quick realization i tear it from its leather straps and throw it aside. the damaged area isn't bad at all perhaps a sprain if i'm lucky.
now aware that the screaming is about i look around everything is crumbling fire destroying wooden structures and gardens alike. the streets that once had children playing and running around was polluted with debris and fire. not wanting to think of it i try to focus but a new thought bursts into my head, my family!
with a turn and disregard as to whether my team mates survived i run off towards the house. before i could even get to the street they land in front of me. i stare right into to blank eyes of a drake. they appear as a normal pony only they have only blank eyes and scaly dragon-like wings. Their maws gaped showing the razor sharp teeth and the black venom dripping on to the floor as the trudge towards me. i turn as soon as one soars towards me and with a wicked blast i barrel kick it away i re frame from getting into a fight as i'm far to concerned with getting home to see so rather than going at it with the rest i merely teleport a few feet ahead. i ran down my home street. frantic and some what hopeful. this was all happening to fast. my running halted at my house's front steps my eyes widened with tears forming as i looked at the macabre sight before. everything was aflame...
i try my best to move but my feet hold still i so desperately want to burst into the inferno and salvage what i could of the situation. my heart is screaming at me to run in my brain convulses with need to run in, my limbs betray me and i stand and watch with intensifying horror as the house collapses. all i hear is the heart wrenching scream as the fires take everything. its very sound rips my body apart and the tears fall like lead onto the floor. my family wasn't the only thing that died that day; my home, my town, a great portion of my friends, the guardian core, and most importantly the fire that once fueled my very being died down to a low ember. only flickering and slowly going out from the tears that spilled that day.
The screaming reverberates all about then i realize it's all around it was breaking into my head had the drakes caught up to me? no i'm only asleep and the screaming was outside my dreams. i awoke gasping for breath and scanned around for where the scream had originated from and there in the clearing was the rainbow mare and the yellow Pegasus. three large creatures had them surrounded and the rainbow mare was lying out on the floor not to far. the the yellow one was pressed against the tree as the three creature circled her eyeing her every movement all the time growling. these creatures made a sound all to familiar to my ears, and common enemy in Citeydell...Timber Wolves.
