In the Dustlands, you fight, or you die.

There are no laws in Moon's world. When her twin brother Sun is stolen, she pursues his captors beyond the only place she knew, and through a wild wasteland. She must become a warrior to survive. On this dangerous road she can trust nopony, not even the handsome thief who saves her life - and steals her heart.

This story is set about 4 to 5 hundred years after the event's of FiM, after technology advanced to beyond our current standards, and then war, famine and plague destroyed Equestria. Reading and writing are skills possessed only by ponies who worked hard to learn what all the funny little squiggles in the few still intact books meant. There is no money, only trade, and because of shortage of edible greenery, ponies have evolved to eat meat as a large part of their diet.

The spelling and grammar in this story will be an English teacher's nightmare, but it is in this style because the protagonist, and most every other character, are illiterate, and if they have mastered writing, there is no formalized way of grammar and spelling, like before Shakespeare's time.

This story is a ponified version of Moira Young's brilliant story Blood Red Road. As soon as I read it I wanted to read a ponified version of it, so I decided to write my own to share with the Brony community.

ENJOY!^.^
