Time had passed on through space alongside with the inhabitants whom were drifting aimlessly as the stars amongst the never–ending blackness floated on, each of them to prompt any wayward traveler to harken back to the memories of life when the richest beverage kept their spirits up until there next destination and from the mouth of madness.

This was the case for one writer as far as reality was concerned, one out of many, known and unknown, existing as of this passing moment no less; although far too young to be considered a bonafide senior, youth was also fleeting as well as the mercy and vitality of life as known to far too much: even now, life has been moving past irregardless of decision-making.

Thereon, a spark of realization comes forth, pushing and pulling in any which direction, autonomy notwithstanding so to speak of; fearing the unknown in which awareness has taken root and stem inside, only one task at hand seems to be the least that could be done: sending a warning to anyone who could read of this message and the meaning within it all the same.

Modernization is an inevitability every individual in and out of society will come to face with each passing day and night so to speak of: the youth of yesterday and today are no exception, especially considering how vulnerable they are to even the strangest changes as is; even now, mass media has crawled out from the silver screen and into the homes and businesses of many a viewer, even for the homeless themselves.

Today's world has seen better days when it comes to visual media, especially considering what is being put out in front of the youth: once a novelty readily consumed moreso than the fast casuals of junk food, now has become a shadow of its former self before them; now, it's a breeding ground for propagators of ideologies, perverting the course of truth, freedom, and justice through mockery and the like no less.

Verily, this story is not like the others nor is it about the others so to speak of, simply an aftermath of what had came before them; after all, there were more pressing issues taking the forefront of the youths' minds and not just schoolwork and the like as is: friendship was at stake and, along with it, the life of a young filly in a circle of kith and kin - something that many in this day and age can relate to nevertheless.

The world of television as a medium has seen better days and this decade has seen the end of one too many programs come to an end: Breaking Bad, by and large, is no exception, having burnt itself out way earlier in the decade after its transitioning since the year 2008; of course, one would know this story from start to finish, irregardless of how many episodes were watched from start to finish as is.

What many of its fans and normies aren't aware of is that canonicity has taken a life of its own so quickly, people have used it to their liking; one particular method involves fanfiction, known for its questionable quality, having developed a stronghold within the very internet: in this case, it's no different, especially considering the propensity for crossovers and the like all the same, especially with the few alone.

Of course, this affair will not contain any references to drugs whatsoever, for this is not that kind of story anyone would even be looking for; however, it'll contain references to other media no higher than that of either My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic the series or the movie itself: as a matter of fact, one lonely dog will serve as the de facto main character, rather than the purple unicorn we'd all came to love before.

Equestria has seen better days even before the return of Nightmare Moon herself; of course, if one were anything like a certain princess, then perhaps the tale was already told: as a matter of fact, it was how her legacy had been cemented from the start.

On the other appendage, what many of her subjects don't know is how damaged it all is; although with proper governance and good values, trouble brewed, boiling and doubling: foreign aggression and domestic woes went in pairs matched, heavens fell, hells raised.

Such is the life of Twilight Sparkle, the princess' pupil turned princess herself as is: the time, unknown but otherwise treated as tbe dead of night itself as far as the eyes see; the place, some facility in which still remains unknown to the public, let alone kith and kin.

They say that music soothes the savage beast, an idiom as old as time and the modern world was no exception, despite their changes; even now, it'd wielded the power and potential to basically unite its listeners whether in proximity or distance altogether so to speak of: Equestria harnessed that power, with and without the Elements themselves, but that constant had been common knowledge all the same as is.

Of course, there were other countries, like and unlike them, which had their own unique talents, persistences, and resolves too: Neighpon, for all its differences between themselves and the outside world, was the epicenter of its own culture due to their upbringing; granted, similar ideas could be found elsewhere too but it didn't stop the equivalent exchanges either way, nations, creeds, and inhabitants.

Speaking of which, the landscape had changed one day when one popular song out of many had basically entered the forefront: little could be said about it freely except the lyrics were so filthy, airwaves were restricted around the young and old alike either way; still, despite their best efforts, individually and collectively, excerpts would find their way out into the open world, near consequences notwithstanding.

Commerce and labor are the lifeblood of economics, great and small, and today's world in and out of Equestria was no exception: even though bits are standard currency in their native homeland, lighter packages are still possible, especially regarding exchange; however, the concept of honest wages are still alienated for an alarming percentage of individuals, many who have turned to a life of crime and villainy.

Once upon a time, there were a trio of suitcases being pursued by a band of traitors to their nation, whether one world or another; now, one remains and along with it, one survivor, frustrated by an otherwise best laid plan thwarted by unforeseen consequences as is: it wasn't enough for one to be lost in the landmass, now another individual has stumbled across its contents and conspiratorial cutthroats.

Enter a tree stump, stuck in a desert along a horse with a name and an injury in dire need of treatment from the former's perspective: little is know about the latter except for the color of tresses and coat, not it'd done much good so to speak despite breathing freely; either way, as far as they're both concerned, by and large, regarding the scheme, to quote a junkie's words, "he can't keep getting away with this...!"

A lot has changed in one millennium alone, especially considering the rise of Equestria as many have come to know so to speak of: even with its reconciliations, there were certain events that couldn't be avoided no matter what came before, during, and after as is; of course, such aspects were common knowledge in and out of the homeland, even the sheer scale and magnitude was rather variable.

Out of many, one father out of many gets to do a lookback on the series of events that had brought him to this point in time altogether: a humble lover stricken with heartache going on heartbreak as growing pains and shrinking pleasures became a daily occurrence; even now, his thoughts become sporadic, especially after watching his pride and joy becoming a burning memory, for want of hyperbole.

In any case, the idea to abandon loneliness is nothing more than an existential reminder of what fates could await for us all no less: individuals such as himself knew this all too well and is the more enough reason wherefore both family and friends are requirements; of course, even the longest lasting relationships aren't immune to such mundane things so commonplace in and out life.

Sweet dreams are made of this...
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas...
Everybody's looking for something.

It's no secret that Equestria has been the current habitat for various lifeforms, like and unlike them, even before its establishment over a millennia ago; in fact, one of which is a draconequus, a serpentine chimera composed of various anatomies belonging to other creatures yet identified as one of great power: as such, the lifeform in question needs no introduction whatsoever.

Called Discord, he's known as one of the most ancient of adversaries faced by the Equestrians themselves, especially by their rulers, Celestia and Luna: once upon a time, they'd both sealed him up into his stone imprisonment through the usage of the Elements of Harmony, the very same artifacts used by one of their students and her five friends to end his short reign of terror.

Although freed from his petrification thrice, he no longer has any desire at all to subjugate or seek revenge but many have known about it far too well; what remains unaware to themselves is the fact like most, if not all, creatures sleep on and throughout a fraction of the day though in his case, the innate abilities he’d possesses seem to have little to no effect compared to being awake.

Did i ever tell you the definition of insanity?
- Vaas Montenegro, FarCry 3

Here she is, the epitome of such on the account of behaving less like a pony and more like a dog; whilst in her state, she had went by many names: Barking Mad, Screw Loose, what have you.

Of course, almost none of them happened to have been able to know the real her; in fact, it would also seem that she doesn't even know herself as everyone else does.

Memories flash into her eyes, some good, others bad, and a few ugly; one thing is clear: the mare starts to learn the awful truth about herself, one that has destroyed her lack of stability thereof.
