This story is a sequel to Memories Of The Flask
Nine hundred, and ninety nine years will pass, and that is all that it will know. It never made it past a thousand.
It has been, and will be, years since the death of their maker. But now marks the first day of their existence locked away in a vault against time.
Follow the story of a kingdom of ponies as it descends deeper and deeper into madness from beginning to end from the perspective of its ever observant and self-loathing founder, the epitome of hatred and death itself. Doomed from the very start, a perfect world with a flawed ruler and flawed magic.
A side-story from Memories Of The Flask and a sort of prologue for the events in a future story which I will link to when it is published.
Chapters (27)
Is this MGR reference? Red sun over paradice
In the howling darkness of the end - men will become monsters, but hope will ride those courageous enough to carry... The Flame.
The walls of the place closed tight about us, and it seemed at times that the outside world was a dream we could scarcely remember.
Sharpen your blades, that we may properly excise our portion!

Echoes of allies reverberating in the void.
Ambition drove you to abandon everything you had... for everything you wanted.

No scripture in particular, though the name was inspired by Job. It seemed like a nice straight-forward way to show one-off ponies and alternative perspectives too.

I google`d it and found it
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
I don`t know...
it kinda fits more into the 1 chapter/ or 6 one
I don`t really have a fitting quote for this chapter(tnx btw it is cute chapter)
How many souls are lost forever in this lightless obscurity?
Push ahead, beyond the reach of this tenebrous malignity.

Echoes of allies reverberating in the void.
You see? Even your valley is not immune to the spreading stain.

Well, a bit of everyone on the main cast, but I plan on expanding more on who the 'maker' is through it.

hmm.... interesting
The unknown awaits. Be wary.
Reality comes asunder before our eyes!
I remember our first meeting on the steps of the University... You were golden, lit from within by the glow of potential. Finally, my friend, I would see that potential realized. It is time to reclaim the world from your weakness. Meet your derelictions with blazing defiance! The Equation must be balanced. Gaze now upon your great achievement - the sumtotal of your failings. Your Body of Work.
I don't quite understand is world dead? There was no mention of Celestia and nothing of sorts.
Look upon the horizon and lament!
