Prologue: The End of Everything

It all happened in Ponyville.
The apple orchards were in full bloomed this season. I noticed that this year that they grew a little late.

My name is Yuji Saiki. I recently moved here from Ponanese last year. Now the school year has just begun. I had just settled to the routine that was the life of any good student pony. Today I was walking towards the school run by Ms. Cherilee. A morning no different from any other. Nothing was out of the ordinary. Days like that were suppose to last forever...

At the time, I couldn't even begin to believe what was about to happen. I was oblivious to the strange melancholy world I was about to encounter, or the fact...I was about to die.

On the afternoon of that day, I was trotting along a busy road in Ponyville. Nothing unusually in the daily life of a pony here as several other steeds pass by me. The day was shining bright and not a single cloud was in the sky. The path was filled with diverse amounts wagons and carts. They would move along side the road parallel to us. Several buildings and shops were also lined across the streets.

I was trotting casually across a road until a flashing shade of red filled the sky. The crimson color filled the streets and buildings. Giving off black shades of blood and ruby. Everypony around me was frozen like if time was stopped. I stood there in confusion and fear as two creatures appeared not so far in front of me.

The creatures looked like abominations. One had a changeling body that was twisted and morphed. It looked like a pretzel with multiply heads. The other monster looked like a giant fat foal. Staring towards my direction with its big empty eyes. They both open their mouths and to my horror.

Instantly, a blue shining flame appeared from everypony. The flames, being consumed by these two beasts. Blood drains from my head as I see some Ponies fading away and vanishing. I think to myself in confusion, "What is this... Whats happen!?!" As I watch in terror as trails of blue flames engulf inside their monstrous mouths.

One of the beasts lifts me up with some kind of dark magic, as I dangle in the air hopelessly. The beast chuckling,
"Ehehehe. Its time to eat-eat, my delicious treats!" The beast opens its mouth to show rows of razor sharp teeth and a bottomless void inside the throat of the monster.

I had almost given hope, until a blazing slice cut the monster's horn in half. I fell towards the ground with a huge thump. The monster shrilling in pain and agony in front of me. That was when I saw her. The filly with flame red mane and blazing eyes. I was memorized by the fire flowing through her mane. Her eyes burning with a never ending passion.

Suddenly a pony behind me used her hoof to penetrate deep in my body. I didn't felt any pain, but I felt literally nothing at all. Instantly the flaming filly sliced the part of my body in half, and that was when...my world changed forever.
