The world suddenly shifts into focus all around you and you feel a dull ache in your head. You are in a small room made of earth, with two bookshelves against the wall, a torch on the other wall, a bed underneath you, and a small red flower in the ground to the left. As you sit up, you feel the ache in your head again.

"Wh... where am I?" I thought while standing up and walked to the bookshelves.

"I think there's nothing in here that could help me... maybe there's someone around here? Hello?! Is anyone around here?!"

Why the walls are made out of dirt? Why is there a red flower here too? Why I can't remember anything? All of this is really weird and confussing...

[Egnis 164]

@TheMagmaCube13,

 

Well of course it's confusing, a strange voice echoes in your head, why wouldn't it be? There seems to be no reason for the flower, or the bed, or the bookcases, but maybe there is. Why don't you go over now and read one of the books on the bookcase?

"Who and where are you?!" My head begins to hurt even more than before...

"I... I guess I'll take a book..." I grab a random book that it's covered in dust. I blow the dust off, just to find there's more dust than I thought, and so a big cloud of dust covers me, I can't see but I can feel that the book is smaller, without the dust covering it.

[Egnis 164]

Then you feel your eyes clearing up right away. The book's title says: The Meaning of Life: 13760 B.C. 

 

When you open the book, it says:

 

All life begins with and ends with wo...

 

Then scribbled under that is:

 

There is a passageway out of here behind the bookcase. I was the last one here...if anyone else is here, just remember, some things are not what they seem, and there are a lot of things that can go wrong...

"What the fu... Who is Coris?...I better go away from this weird place now"  The bookcase looks old and easy to move, yet it's not. It appears that the dirt have sealed it tightly with the walls.

With all my strength I try to move it, but in the attempt it breaks and I fall to the ground. Behind the bookcase a dark tunnel reveals.

"Well at least it's opened now... I better take this before something bad happens..." I grab the torch and start to carefully enter this secret passage.

[Egnis 164]

As you trot down the tunnel, you become away of stairs leading up. You begin to the ascend the stairs, in seemingly a spiral, and after what seems like a while, you feel cold air and natural light above. You come to the top of the stairs and you appear to be in the middle of nowhere... Snow and ice stretch out in every direction. You don't feel too cold, so you'll probably be able to travel. In the far, far distance (something told you it was north) there was a tiny speck of brown.

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

"What is that?... I guess I'll never know if I don't go there" I start walking towards that little speck, for some reason it feels like it's going to have answers but also big problems...

After a while walking, the sun light starts to go away and the moon makes it's appearence. It appears that this speck was way further away than I thought.

With the night I start feeling more cold, luckly there's what it looks like a cave... "I hope no one is there"

Inside the cave there are some skeletons and what it looked like a little camp. There is some wood so I decide to make a campfire. I'm going to spend the night here...

[Egnis 164]

The next morning, you set out again towards the brown dot, now much closer. Upon arriving you notice that it a small building made of wood. A board on top of a doorway says: "Renegade's Inn" Entering the building, there are two ponies at a table, talking, as well as another one at a counter with a cloth in his hoof. Some stairs lead down to what was clearly lodging for traveling ponies. It was the middle of the day, so there was no point in that right now.

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

I approach to the two ponies at the table... "Umm... Hello, sorry for bothering you two but..." One of the ponies looks at me. His eyes... it felt like he was staring directly to my soul, in that moment there was something telling me to not bother those ponies. I start backing up slowly... I guess the other pony in the counter will have to do...

I go towards this pony and talked "Hello, could I ask you some questions?"

"Why are you here?" He replies with a strong yet friendly voice.

"Well... that's the problem, I don't know where I am, and I thought you could help me..."

[Egnis 164]

"What are you, some kind of amnesiac?" He said, laughing. When he noticed you weren't joining in, he rolled his eyes. "After everything that's happened, I'm not surprised," he muttered.

 

"Well, I'll just start at the time everything really got messed up.

 

"About three years ago, everything was busy and normal, like they've always been, ya know? And then, out of nowhere, the princesses, all of them mind you, and pretty much every powerful magic user in the world(not just Equestria) just disappeared! Just, out of nowhere! Some ponies say it was some monster from Tartaurus, or maybe some creature from the sky. They'res all sorts of superstitions goin on about how it all happened. Ya know what I think? I think it was the Windigos! I don't know how, but it had to be them!

 

"Anyway, after all the powerful magic users had disappeared, the world descended into chaos, and it's been like that for three years now! However, my grandpappy once told me a story that once, a long, long time ago, the world had become just like it is now! Like, everybody important gone, and everything like that. He told me that a hero rose up and saved the world from some dark shadowy creature thing. Then, the princesses returned, and everything back to normal. The hero then went off and told everybody he was working on some project that nobody was allowed to see, and that it was important for the future of the world. Nobody know what happened to the hero, or if he finished his project, but one things for sure, WE COULD REALLY USE A HERO LIKE THAT NOW!" His voice rose, loud enough that the other two ponies looked up for a moment.

 

"Anyway, that's just a story. Anything else you'd like to know?" he asked lightly.

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

After hering his story, there was only one thing that left me thinking: Windigos... I'm sure I heard that name before...but where?

I tried my best to remeber but there was no success.

"Um... you okay there?" The pony said, apparently I was just staring blankly for a few minutes.

"What? Oh, yeah... sorry I was just thinking. Could you tell me more about these Windigos?"

[Egnis 164]

"Sure! Nothin else to do round here anyway. The Windigos were these evil spirits of disharmony! Wherever disharmony among folks is, the Windigos follow right after! Cause a bunch of snow and ice and that kind of thing to form up where it was happening. Downright evil!

 

"Anyway, our ancestors apparently were fighting over the whole tribal thing, and so the Windigos showed up. Because their home turned to the icy version of hell, they kind of had to find somewhere else to live. So, they left separately and ended up claiming some new land as all theirs. They started fighting again, and BOOM! Windigos are right back there! Then, some of the common folk of the tribes helped to unite the tribes, and it fought away the windigos with the power of friendship. Then that land became Equestria. Now... I don't know what to call it."

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

"Oh, I see why you think it was the Wendigos, they freezed everything..." That description he gave me was enough to make me feel chills down my spine.

"Anyway, I still have some questions, like who are you or why you have that cloth on your hoof?" In that moment, he looked like he was trying to hide something.

[Egnis 164]

"Uh... I'm cleaning off the counter with the cloth. As for me, I'm just a pony that owns an inn in the middle of nowhere. Don't ask me how I get everything I need to run this place, cause I'll tell you right now." He leans in close, grinning madly, "I grow the food underground! The name's Renegade, by the way. What's yours?"

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

"Umm... I don't know my name..."

" Wow, you're really an amnesiac..." he replied "Do you remember anything at all?"

"All I remember is that I woke up in a kind of cave-room, then I read a book with something scribbled by someone named Coris and lastly I saw this place in the distance so I came here. I can't remember anything before that."

[Egnis 164]

"Well then! That sure is strange! You got a plan for whatever it is you gotta do?" 

 

You do not know how to reply, so he goes on. "Well, I do got my old snowspeeder down in mah shed. I don't really need it anymore, since I'm probably staying here the rest of my life! It'll take you anywhere you want to go, so long as you know where you're goin! I left the keys down in the shed next to the thing. Take it if you ever need it!"

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

"Oh, really? Thank you! Um, how does it work?"

With a short laugh he says " It's so easy that even a foal can drive it! Come on I'll show ya!" Then he turned his sight to the other two ponies "And you two, Don't. Touch. Anything."

And so we walked to the shed, and there it was, looking almost new.

After less than a minute, he was done explaining.

"Alright, now you know how to drive it. So, where are you going?"

"I don't know, is there any interesting place near?"

[Egnis 164]

@@TheMagmaCube13,

 

"Not really. Though I do know that there's this ruined village down southeast from here, next to the sea. And there's this port town more northeast from here. Last time I was there, all the ships that left the ports haven't returned, and I doubt any of them have returned since, so there's not really a point in going there."

[TheMagmaCube13 62]

"I see... I guess the ships sailed to be away from this land... Well, then I'm heading to this village while there's still sunlight. See ya!"

The snowspeeder starts and while I'm getting away from the Inn, I can hear him screaming: "Good luck! Come here whenever you want! You'll always be welcome here!"

I guess I have a friend to count on in this destroyed world...

[Egnis 164]

The cold wind wisps through your mane as you zip along, going southeast to this ruined village. You are not really sure how it is southeast, but it just seemed to be.

 

Sure enough, some ruins started popping up around you. This village must have been somewhat large as well. Nothing strikes you as interesting or notable in this environment, until a large, worn down tree with broken windows came into view. It also had a light on inside, noticeable now that it was now night again.

 

Opening the creaking door, a shadow inside jumped at your presence. Then a dark blue, older looking unicorn stepped out of the shadows. "Hello... who might you be?" he asked.
