	Hey. My name's Diz. I'm a pony. I live in the world of Equestria. It's a land of ponies. With earth ponies, pegasi, and unicorns. Along with four alicorns. At least, it used to be. Two years ago, a mystical being known as Discord, brought a new activity, known as Duel Monsters (or Yu-Gi-Oh, whichever you prefer) as a new way to settle disputes. It worked for about a year. Everyone handled everything in a good way. Disputes were handled without violence. Without disorganization. Without anypony getting hurt. As it turned out, all this was for Discords evil plan. You see, there was a rumor that a so called "human" was roaming Equestria, taking out ponies with the game somehow. At first, it seemed like a silly joke. Then, the papers came in. It said on headlines that ponies were going missing. Nopony knew what was going on. Then war struck. Hundreds of humans came out of nowhere with the same type of duel disks, cards, even strategies. It occurred to the four princesses that we were in fact being invaded by humans. We were at war for a year. We still are, only, we're dwindling in numbers. There seem to be a limitless amount of humans coming every day. Soon, we were outnumbered. Day after day we lost more ponies to these strange creatures. Now, we have stragglers looking for shelter or those that are sheltered barely surviving. This was due to the lack of food. There used to be the top five duelists that protected Equestria with their dueling techniques. Number 5 was Princess Cadence, Number 4 was Discord, Number 3 was Princess Luna, Number 2 was Princess Celestia, and the number 1 duelist was Princess Twilight Sparkle. At least, they used to be. Now it's just Discord. Since he brought the humans to invade Equestria, they've all been taken out by the best of the humans. See, they've got this thing called the Shadow Realm. It apparently sends the loser of a duel to its darkest areas. This is why Equestria is in disarray. Even the changelings, griffins, or even the zebras couldn't beat them. After eight months of fighting, the humans took out most the population. I live in a small underground facility that is sheltered from these creatures. There are survivors out there. I was determined to find out just how powerful this Discord was and defeat him once and for all. After all, I'm 19. I have a green coat. I have a black mane with a dark red tail. These ponies with different than normal ponies. Supposedly, these type of ponies like me should one day beat Discord and bring peace once again. This is my story of just how far I got.
