This story is essentially a text version of the Half-Life 2 mod except that it's ponified, it goes through a little differently, and has three additional endings. Or maybe it doesn't. You're welcome to go count them.
This story is about choice and freedom, possibly, but actually it might be about something else. Either way, you'll find yourself wondering why you bothered reading it in the first place.

The story tags are accurate and you'll just have to trust me on that. I think we've developed a good enough relationship for trust to be a non-issue. I mean you've already read ten sentences from me so far, or was that eleven? I don't know, you'll probably have to go back and check. Anyway, it's always a good idea to trust the narrator and follow his/her instructions. If you didn't then there wouldn't be much point in them trying to tell a story, now would there?

The year is 1130 A.C. The world is in ruins, destroyed at the hands of oppression and governed by the hands of greed. Nothing ever seemed right about this world. I knew from the beginning that something had to be done to fix it. I had to know how much happiness was possible to exist instead of the suffering that infests the land. I had to try and restore it, to try and make everypony happy.

However, doing great things requires great sacrifice.
My name is Chariot, a pony, a slave.
