Slavery changes people. It can make them soft or hard, strong or fragile.

A griffon named Vena came out of it harder than concrete. When she saves a filly from a group of slavers in the dark, broken down ruins of the old world, why would she turn out any different?

A Fallout: Equestria short side-story set in the same universe as Fallout Equestria: Dead End.

Equestria's a big place. Big enough for history to forget about the little wars that raged across every mile of the wasteland. Wedged between New Appleloosa and Fillydelphia, Pinewood Valley is always drenched in bandit blood as gangs vie for territory, wealth, and power.

One bandit, a zebra named Phisa, has just been betrayed for the last time. She was close to the top, only for everything to come crashing down in a heartbeat. On the run and out for revenge, she must assemble her own rag-tag group of outcasts to fight back against her old allies and claim her place as the toughest, most feared bandit in the Pinewood.
