> Journal of the Fallen > by TheFallen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Page 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page one To all who might find this i regret to inform you that all is lost, but this is not about that. This journal will document everything I do to take down Celestia and I will explain what happened in these first few page`s. It happened so fast and abrupt that no one saw it coming. The signs were right in front of us but nopony noticed them. I had gone to the Celestias Palace it was a normal day and I was bringing in the statuses of each city Manehatten, Baltimare, New colt city and ponyville. It was a normal day but Celestia had been acting weird she was fidgety and jittery it was hardly noticeable. She wasn’t herself but I brushed it off thinking she was just stressed that was a mistake I regret to this day. As the days passed it got worse. By the time she cracked it was too late to stop her. She went insane Luna couldn’t stop her nopony could. Soon enough she started hypnotizing ponies to work for her she got into their minds and making them follow her. Some ponies could resist it like me but they were rare to find. But by the time anyone did anything it had gotten out of hand. I ran with the other ponies that resisted her mind control. She completely destroyed Canterlot and after that Manehatten was destroyed. The buildings had crumbled and the city fell into complete chaos. She took out the mayors of each city, town, or village. After that a domino effect as she took out all the head leader`s. Only the ones who would follow her were spared. She went completly insane. Now Equestria is a wasteland. The only existing piece of life that once stood is the remains of the populated areas. Now I and a few others plan on trying to take her down. Like I said before I will document this for (only if our plane works) ponies who might find this in the future. But for now i will explain my plan. First we need to try and get her alone. If possible we will try to keep her restrained. Next the two unicorn`s in our group will try to dig her way threw Celestia`s mind and stop the horrors that lay within. We expect after that is done, she won’t remember what she has done to Equestria. We will explain and hopefully she will return everything to normal... Hopefully if she goes easily then this might take a few days. If it’s more complicated then we hoped it will take months. The plane is extremely simple, get Celestia, Hold her down so our unicorn can get into her head, and Have her fix everything. Easier said than done, but we will get started when we locate her. In our group are ten ponies. There are two unicorns Jade, and Scarlet. They are twins both white coated and Gold mane`s but their eyes separate them. Jade has Beautiful green eyes, and Scarlet has deep red eyes. Then we have four Pegasai including me. Wonder Bolt, Flash, Dawn, and me, if I haven’t noted my name it`s Dusk. Bolt has a blue coat and a yellow mane. He is the fastest Pegasus I have ever met and a great guy in general. He works as our scout. Flash is his best friend, she`s has a red coat and yellow mane. The two are always racing each other its kind of fun to watch. She work`s as our doctor since she also has good medical training. Dawn... Dawn is the world to me, she being my Marefriend won’t go anywhere without me. She has a yellow and orange coat with a purple and gold mane. She is beautiful but her eyes... her eyes sparkle blue and they can change colors. Sometimes they are blue sometimes they can be a light purple. She is amazing and I love her. That leaves me. My coat is a Midnight blue. and my Mane is a black. At night it’s almost impossible to see me without some sort of light. But I lead the group and keep us together. The last four are earth ponies. Tudor, Frisk, Spark. Marine. Tudor is a brown pony with a even darker brown mane. He`s obsessed with books never stops reading them. But when he has to fight, he is damn near unstoppable. He is a good guard and gives us information on anything that we might need. Frisk.... he never stops moving even in his sleep he can’t sit still he’s always tossing and turning. He has a white coat and forest green mane. He is a strange pony and his mind seems to dart from thought to thought. He tags along we need as many ponies as possible. He is a fun pony to be around but can get annoying. Spark, she`s good with fire and once she starts one she won’t put it out. She likes to burn things... a lot. She has a black coat with an orange, red, and yellow mane. She herself looks like a flame. She is a great survivalist so we let her take care of anything that might include outdoor survival. Finally Marine, He`s one of the two ponies here who can swim well. He has a green blue coat and a Green mane. He is a quiet pony but is good at mapping out situation`s so we let him plan our route`s. I started this group and we all work together well. But if she find`s us before we find her, we might parish and any sign of hope will be lost. That’s the group so now that everything is explained I will start my story. Day One We have been traveling for three day`s none stop. It has been tiring but we got to the outskirts of Baltimare. Tomorrow we are going to go into the city, look for supplies, more survivors, and see if Celestia is near by the city. This is the third city we have been too. If she is not here I am convinced she is moving her army from city to city. Then all we have to do is wait, but that might take a lot longer then we realized. I think Frisk is getting sick. He doesn’t look well, he`s not as jumpy, and he doesn’t talk as much as he usually does. This rest stop will be good for him. Hopefully he will be okay. Dawn... She`s doing good I watch out for her, she almost got herself killed the other day by running into a trap set up by somepony. I made sure she didn’t. Bolt scouted out the beginning of the city for us, it doesn’t seem like anypony is waiting for us. Everypony else is just relaxing from the three days of nonstop walking. Flash is trying to set up the tent for him and bolt, he`s having trouble so I’m going to go help him. Later I’m back and sitting in my tent. Dawn is sleeping next to me. This whole tent Situation is so far working out. The tents are situated like this we have Bolt and Flash in one since they are best friend`s. Me and Dawn because well she is my Marefriend and she`s happy to share with me. Then we have Spark, and Marine sharing. Its weird because they are complete opposite`s but they seem to get along just fine. The twins obviously share a tent, and then we have Tudor, and Frisk. It’s getting late and we have a long walk tomorrow so I’m going to end this Entry. > Page 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day three Entry Two It has been two days since my last entry and we have reached the city. We took shelter in a building that`s still standing. But we are running low on supplies. Our food is running low but everything else is fine. We all have some type of weapon on us in case of an ambush. Frisk is sick he passed out yesterday on the walk and we had to carry him to the building we are currently in. The twins are out looking for food and supplies and Bolt is out scouting the city. Dawn and Tudor are talking about who knows what. But for now all is peaceful so now I am writing until something comes up. Flash is trying to find anything that will help frisk but for now all we know is he isn’t contagious, but she told is he isn’t looking good and we don’t know if he will make it or not. I hope he is okay. He is annoying most of the time but he means well most of the time. I think he had a family before this happened but Celestia took them away from him. She took a lot of things away from us. Before all this started everything was perfect. I had caring friends, and an amazing job that paid well. But now that is all gone and it’s a free for all. I wish things would go back to normal. I wish that every.... Bolt just came back and gave me an idea of what’s in the city. He saw another group of ponies, we don’t know if it’s some of Celestias of just another group but if they are just another group I would be happy to combine ours. Spark and Marine are going at it. It’s annoying to hear them fight about Everything but I can deal. Just by listening to it tells me it’s another conversation on whose better at what and this is better than that. It gets repetitive sometimes. The twins returned a couple minutes after Bolt. They had found enough supplies for our stay in the city. If we ration it enough maybe we can make it last till we get to New Colt city. But the sun is setting and it will be too dark to write so for now I will end this entry. Day seven Entry three It has been four days since my last entry and I have good reason if I do not regularly do these entries One my group is big and i have to make sure everyone is okay, make sure we have enough food, and such. But aside from that, we lost frisk the poor guy didn’t make it. He died two nights ago Flash was there when it happend and he did not tell us till the next morning. It`s hard to have him gone. It`s a lot quieter now that he`s gone... We all are grieving. I think Tudor was hit the worst the two were different but they were good friends. We gave him a proper burial and I even went through the effort of making a Headstone. I let Tudor carve the words into it, but we all will miss him. But we are going to try and find the other group tomorrow and I hope all will go well but I don’t know. Some ponies just can’t be trusted. But we rationed the food and hopefully we will have enough to last us threw the next few months. Dawn has been acting weird lately. I hope she`s okay. She is growing more distant from me and the group everyday she hardly talks and when i ask what’s wrong all she does is walk away. It might just be because Frisk is gone but I don’t want to have her break down and slow our progress. She is a delicate mare and I’m the one who keeps her together. But for now I must go we have to plane for tomorrow. I will write after our encounter with the other group if possible. > Page 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 3 Day 10 Entry four We met with the other group three days ago and now we have fifteen in there group. We had nine after frisk died they added six new ponies. We have Grug. He`s ... Not very smart but is a big pony and in my view should be used to help carry our supplies, but they want him to lay back. He follows his friend Shape`s around a lot but the two are best friends so it doesn't matter. Shape`s is a genius. He was the brains of the other group but can get cocky. But he knows a lot more than any of us. He is a grey pony with an orange mane. Grug is a black pony with a brown mane. Shape`s looks out for Grug best he can but it looks like it can get tiring and somewhat annoying. We have a blue pony named Caboose. He is dumber then Grug making his dumb remarks and harassing other ponies in our group. But the kid is pretty funny. His so called best friend is named Church. Church tries to avoid him but the kid won’t leave him alone. He is a strict guy he was the leader of their group now him and I are sharing the decisions of our group. The last two are both mare`s. Vinturi is a dark red pony with a black mane she is fancy and won’t get her hoofs dirty. She is annoying, and then we have bones. She is a black and white mare and for some reason never looks happy. She is a good scavenger though so we can use her help. That is what I know for now hopefully I will learn more later. We have already explained the plan to them and they are all in for it. Church is a horrible leader just from my experience but he does have some good ideas... He just can’t put it into a plan the right way like I can. We are going to work well together I can tell. But everypony is complaining about something I will be right back. Later that day… Apparently Caboose was harassing Spark. So I sent him and Vinturi out to look for anything that is out of the ordinary. Food is getting set up as I write so I might take a break every once in a while. Dawn and Emerald are cooking for us tonight. I know Dawn is a great chef but Emerald isn't as good. I know her sister is but she backed down from cooking duties when Dawn volunteered. This whole cooking and cleaning situation needs to be managed and soon or we might have Caboose cooking and I don't think I can trust him with my food. But that will be saved for a later day but Bolt is out currently and he’s checking the other side of the city with Flash today. We hope that they might find more survivors or at least something useful. But it I need to manage everything for now so until next time my Journal. Entry five Day 11 I noticed my entries are getting shorter but I hope that doesn't bug anypony who reads this. But as we moved further into the city the buildings seemed to be intact more and the only ones that had fallen where the ones that were built of older materials. We decided to take shelter in the Court house since the only entrance that is visible by eye is the main one in the front. Even though we found two more exits in the basement they seem to lead to the sewer ways if we kept going but we may be wrong. We have Vinturi sewing the holes in our tent. Her work with a thread and needle are astonishing. She moves so quickly and with such precision it looks like anypony could do it. But we needed them to be repaired as the rainy season moves in. Since there are no more weather pegasai the weather is free to go as it wishes and after two years of learning how it worked I know that rain is soon to come. But I hope it lies off for a little while longer so we can at least make it to New Colt City. But that would be a blessing. But for now all is well Flash and Bolt seem to be racing again and I might as well go watch the two go at it. But for now I will write here. Dawn is lying next to me right now just resting. She seems to be looking and acting a lot better. I hope whatever had her bothered is now gone. The twins are cooking tonight and they already have a small controlled fire going. Hopefully everything will pan out as we plan. But I bring sad news to our current situation. Celestia is nowhere to be found around this destroyed city. Hopefully if she is in New Colt City I will be proven wrong and she is not moving her army around. I seem to have forgotten an important implement to this situation. All of us hold some weapon of choice. For most of us it is the common sword. But for a few it is different. Church brought a bow and has a few arrows. Caboose... just him talking could probably drive off an enemy. Grug uses his hoofs for combat the rest of us hold swords except me. I hold a variety of weapons like a bow I found off a dead guard, small concealed blades I found off of a strange pony wearing a white coat with red streaks in it. He bared a symbol I have not seen before. It’s an upside down V connected by an arc. Vinturi said it was the mark of the Assassins. I have never heard of them before. But my next weapon is a regular sword used by most ponies in our group. I am a master with the weapons I use. But other than the new information I have written I have nothing left to report so until something comes up I will leave it at that. > Page 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 15 Entry 6 We moved further into the city today and we found something interesting. We found a group of ponies today but they had died but not from any type of blade. We had Flash take a look at the bodies and she found small wound in each of them, only one either in the head of the chest. Flash is still looking at the bodies as I write. I hope we can figure this out soon before whatever killed these ponies gets to us. But everything else is going well otherwise. Bolt pulled his wing so now we need somepony else to scout for us. We are running out of food fast and we still need to make it to New Colt city by next month we have enough to get us out of the city but that's about it. I just hope that when this is all over evertyhing that I hopped will happen will actually happen. But speaking of supplies I`m going to go get something to eat I`ll write soon. Day 20 Entry 7 Where do I begin...? So much has happened, things changed so drastically that I couldn't stop them it was impossible to stop but... Flash is dead. We had found the pony that killed the others we found. You know the ones with holes, but never the less she’s gone and she`s never coming back. We met the single pony and all he did was levitate a wooden object with the powers that most unicorns have and then I heard a loud bang. When I looked around Flash was on the ground and Bolt was at her side. It happened so fast. When I looked for the pony that did it they had vanished. We did not pursue but stayed with Flash in her last moments. The fear in her eyes will give me nightmares and we all mourned her loss. But bolt went crazy... He wants revenge and he won’t stop hunting down the pony that did it until they are dead. I support him and his actions but we have to stop Celestia. I just hope he will agree with me that we can move. The only ponies that weren't really affected by it were Church and the new ponies that joined our group. They didn't know Flash like we did and they didn't feel the same pain as us. But they did their best to comfort the ones who needed it. I'm just worried about Bolt at this point. Not only is does he have a valuable skill, he is also an amazing person and I’d hate to see him go insane for the lust to kill the pony who did this to his best friend. He loved her... The two had known each other before all this happened. The two had grown up since they were young filly`s. They both had flown on the race team in high school and supposedly were never separated. I hate this world... It takes everything you love and destroys it but hopefully we can fix this when we get Celestia. I can’t write anymore today. Maybe tomorrow if I have time if not next week. But until the next entry I will leave with this. May God help us all` for once we`re gone all shall fall Once were gone, once were dead, no one shall rise and not another word will be said. Keep fighting my friends, and take a stand, for maybe one day god will give us a hand. > Page 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 25 entry 8 Dawn... The love of my life, the only thing that can bring full joy into my life, For this entry is not an update just to write about her and some other things on my mind, no update`s. Shes my love, we`ve shared many good times and bad. Hopefully more will come but I love her, more then anything and I will do whatever necessary to protect her. I will give my life if need be, but hopefully it wont come to that. We have been together for 725 days, and counting. I dunno why I remember that but every time i tell her how long, it makes her happy. Its hard to please a mare in the destroyed world we live in, but I do my best. I justb hope we both make it threw this alive. But anyway since we made it to the city I`v looked at the destruction and wondered why Celestia did this to her kingdom. I know something snapped and all but, but shes destroying everything. I hope that when this ends the ponies after will build this back up. A couple weeks back I met a big farmer pony. He looked like he was headed west to ponyville. He said he was going to start an apple farm out there, I wished him the best of luck and we went our separate ways from then out. Iv met only a few other survivors outside our group. Some nice, others not as nice but we took care of them. When this started I didn't know what to think of it and i could barely survive on my own. But after years of experience and after getting a group together, I learned how to take care of myself. But 730 days ago... that day,I remember it well. It`s the day I met Dawn. It was raining and I was getting threw Canterlot when I heard her sobbing. I found her laying over a few members of her family. I gave her comfort and held her tight as she cried. I was there when nopony else was, five days after we decided we would be together for a while and its lasted for about two years. Dawn... the love of my life Authors note; I might end this story if anypony would like me to keep writing this please leave a message telling me so and ill happily keep writing it.
