Co-writer notes: Ok, lets point out some stuff here.
Arbu is one of my favorite parts of Fallout Equestria, it is so emotionally gripping and such a wonderful grey area that it gets to me everytime. I decided that I wanted to at least try an mess aroun with it. Especially since I was doing a story where Little Pip had not gotten out of the Stable (We'll find out what happened soon). Samus, being a character that is new and has her own moral code, I wanted to see how she would handle it. Arbu is a scenario, for me at least, that has no real right and wrong answer. (Something I think the fic does better than the games. The game-you kill them and nothing happens. The fic- kill the cannibals, but you ruined the lives of CHILDREN!) and that is what I loved here. The child kind of helped to drive that point home. The kids don't know about right and wrong, they just know you killed their mom and dad.
I better stop talking about Arbu and focus on the rest, otherwise I am going to spend all day writing this
God came about easily because I wanted to explore more of "Little Pip is gone" idea. So, I figured that sooner or later Red Eye would find an unicorn that would be enough for his plans to work. So, he became the opposite, a god. Then I began to think, what esle could go wrong from missing on one little pony. And so, we have the purge.
