Fluttershy now lives a lonely life, traveling East, away from Equestria. It wasn't too long ago that a thin layer of powdery snow blanketed the ground. Now it was nothing more than nourishment for the blossoming flowers sprouting up in its place. All she has keeping her company are the soothing thoughts of her old friends and the few keepsakes she could smuggle out of Ponyville. For guidance, she looks forward towards the sunrises laid out before her; the sunsets are there to remind her of shady memories and the cold embracement of night. She is far from her home in Ponyville now and the creatures here aren't as friendly as those she knew back home. It seems as if her one her one specialty, the sole thing she's retained has turned against her. Life may be hard without the guidance of her friends, but just as life will, she must continue on until she finds what she set out for.

[This story was inspired by Austraeoh by Imploding Colon. It contains a few scenes of gore, but they are not frequent and don't represent Umbreka as a whole, read on with discretion.]

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed this small portion of my first chapter. This is the first fan-fiction I've written and I want to make it a good. With the pemission of the original author, Imploding Colon, I plan on making this as mysterious and ambitious as the original, but with 100% more Fluttershy. It wont be just a copy and paste (although there will be a load of similarities here and there). If you guys have any question I'll be sure to answer them to my full extent (spoiler free of course :twilightblush:).

Well, this better not suck.

1760213 I have a hard time believe you got IC permission, because he never talks to ANYONE.

Looks good so far. Gonna watch, and eagerly await more.:pinkiehappy:

Gonna fave, but not going to upvote just yet...

The only problem with Flutters is that she'd never pull off the awesome things that Rainbow Dash did. Too timid.

1760213 The effort you put into detail and description has already caught my attention. :twilightsmile: I'll make sure to mark this as a favorite and track it.

If you fail with this fanfic...

Your punishment will be most severe.

I hold IC in high regards, so lets see how this goes.

1763563
I'm sorry that you feel this way. If you don't mind me asking, what problem do you see in this? I do hope you stay to see where this is heading.

1763565
Don't worry, I have things planned out for Fluttershy that will involve her using more nature specific talents.

1764216 Well then, let's see where you take it! :raritywink:

1763803
I'm actually excited to see how this turns out myself.

1763600 1763546
I'm glad you guys enjoy it so far. I didn't expect anyone to agree with this. Sorry for the short chapter though, I wanted to get something out for you guys to sample right away. Any complaints or future ideas you guys would like to see?

1764154 I liked the original better
Making The same story with a differnet character is pretty.... Lazy

1764336
Not sure if this will help win you over, but I'm not planning on just copying and pasting his old story with slightly changed wording. I have a new plot thought out and new places for Fluttershy to visit. She has her own reasons for leaving the safety of Ponyville and I so plan on unwrapping them as the story progresses. She wont be able to do all the amazing things that Rainbow Dash could do so sometimes running may seem like a better option than fighting it out. I want to make this story a lot about surviving against nature (something that Fluttershy finds comfort in).

I can understand where your skepticism comes, from and I don't hold it against you. I just wish to be given a chance at a reimagining at IC's amazing atory.

1764421 well I also dislike it coz it's a story about just fluttershy
(I didn't actually dislike)

1764434
What's wrong with Fluttershy? (Sorry if I'm not seeing your issue)

1764449 RD's like tebpn times more cooler than Flutters and readinga story where the main Character alays runs away instead of doing something really stupid, arrogant and cool :rainbowdetermined2:

1764492
I was just using that as an example, I can promise Fluttershy wont always be running away. She just wont have the fighting skills seen by Rainbow Dash. I had a more plot driven story in mind when thinking up of the main plot points of this story. I wanted to retain the beautiful scenery of the original with a different story. There is going to be plenty of adventure as Fluttershy begins her flight into the unknown. We may even be able to see new places Rainbow Dash never actually went to. The possibilities are endless and that's why I loved the original story so much. It gives plenty of room for new ideas if desired.

I hope we aren't clogging up the comment box. Maybe we should switch over to PM?

You're trying to hard to be Austraeoh. Branch out, mate. Be different! :pinkiehappy:

1770371
Don't worry, next chapter coming up will be a different change of pace from what we're used to (at least I think).

Also directed towards everyone, don't feel afraid to comment your thoughts of each chapter when you're done reading. I'd love to interact with all of you guys taking the time to read my story.

1770443 Alrighty. I'm just a bit perturbed by the fact that she reacted to the apple the same way Rainbow Dash did. Alos, for the love of Gos, keep shipping out of this one. That's the only thing that killed Austraeoh for me.

1770453
Yeah I might go change the apple part, I just though that after eating nothing but dry moldy bread for a couple of weeks would cause anyone to go on an apple massacre. I did try to change it up with her handing out pieces though. I don't plan on adding shipping in this story, but there will be friendships (no love, no kissing).

Sorry about the premature publishing guys, the actual chapter is up now though. I would like to know how long I had it up there though:twilightoops:

Nice but you might want to work on the Putting Your Hoof Down flashback. The bright colors are a little hard to read. Still a great chapter though.:pinkiehappy:

Wooah:raritystarry: I fall asleep for a few minutes and this whole site changes dramatically... I like it!
1775089
Yeah, sorry about the colors. I might change Rarity's to a darker shade but other than that the best thing I could suggest to help is change the background page to black.

1775167 Just a suggestion but perhaps a shade of purple for Rarity's sentences during the flashback.

Ouch the yellow... Can it be a bit darker // readable? Ouch it puts that awful default icon now by everything instead of blank — I may actually have to acquire an icon now... bleach.

Eh probably not that important as I am guessing that colored stuff is only going to happen ONCE. Even so it could turn off some people.

1775567 1775410
Alright I got it fixed, sorry for the inconvenience. I thought that would be less of a cluster if I just used color coding instead of pointing out who said what sentence. Now I need to find out how I'm getting views on unpublished stories :trixieshiftleft:

Hm, quarry eels. Man, why you gotta be such a rip-off?

1791555
:fluttercry:

If I may ask, how is it be a rip-off if quarry eels are cannon to the show?

1793309 Wait, they are? Am hallucinating again and forgetting about quarry eels?

Nice descriptions, the wing popping back in made me wince. :pinkiecrazy:

Sorry for the short chapter, I felt it would be better if I split the next chapter I had in mind into three seperate pieces. Hope you guys enjoy :twilightsmile:

1825086 I enjoyed it a lot. No need for apologies. :moustache:

1841050
Been working on and off lately trying to get the next chapter out soon. My arm got smashed in a car door recently (on top of studying for exams) and I feel like I haven't been able to get these chapters out fast enough to the public. I'm also very fickle with my writing, everything must fit together perfectly or I wont post it. I need to keep writing though! I have so much potential within the next upcoming chapters and I really want to make an impact. The anxiety is killing me :pinkiecrazy:

1841807 I shall be waiting. Remember, nothing wrong with short. Austaeoh and Eljunbryo have together a combined- what, 150- short chapters.

NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...

Nuff' said.

Time is a crime

I see what you did there...

1879756
Haha I was waiting for someone to point that out

1876393
Lol wut?

1944271
Haha Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis in the same movie? Reminds me of the good Ol' days of Pulp Fiction. :rainbowkiss:

They call this disease, hollowing.

Should be

They call the disease "hollowing".

Also, love the new developments.
