Prologue

(A.N)- In this world, the humans have different types, named after fabled mythical creatures, there are four different breeds. Earth humans tend to be naturally strong, with a faster recovery from injuries. The Pegasus humans have naturally grown wings that allow them to hold the ability to tread upon clouds, and fly at extreme speeds. The unicorn humans have a natural, magical horn that allows them to cast various spells, usually reserved to their specialty. And finally, the Alicorn humans, people who fill all three slots, with great magic, recovery of great speeds, powerful wings and strength. They are usually the allowance for a fifth form of human, golems. Golems are pseudo humans, of two variances, ordinary, and advanced. They are generally the same, except advanced look exactly like an ordinary human, but can recover from grievous injuries in amazing speeds, and hold large amounts of power, copied from their alicorn creator. Golems are always close to their creators, almost as though a child parent bond is between them.

Even after the explosion, ten years after to be exact, things still remained the same for me. Albeit, maybe a little different. I no longer lived in my hut on the edge of the Everfree, but deep within. The job was still the same, but yet again, different. I would still guard the forest from undesirables, but instead of only preventing the exit of the many fabled beasts, I also must deny the entrance of the royal Canterlot guards.

Before the explosion, or as we call it, the “Event”, things were fine. Anybody, except the beasts, could enter or exit the Everfree of their own will, although few did. Things were different then… happy… parties every week, everyone helping out the other. Hell, even the Everfree Forest was different! But that all changed after the “Event”. After Twilight went insane, blew up half the town, and maimed almost all her friends, I the exception, things began going from bad to worse.

It was soon discovered that the reasoning behind Twilight going insane was that she discovered she was, in fact, a golem. No one knows where she came from, but we understood her reaction. She had been raised as a unicorn, but in truth, she was a golem, and never knew.

After Twilight disappeared, so too, did Celestia and Luna, the two princesses of the country. These two alicorns shared the duty of raising the sun and moon. It was soon learned however, that their disappearance was caused by the appearance of a new alicorn. This one called herself “Eos”. There are many rumors about this one floating around, and I imagine there are many more, for the four years I’ve remained in the Everfree. One such rumor is that this alicorn is really Twilight, though some accept it, and Eos denies it, I pray that it’s true, and she’s not Twilight.

A war is looming. Not just a civil war, but an already all-out war between the humans, the Griffons, and the Dragons. We have never gotten along with the other countries, but we never went to war with them. The details of the beginning of the war are foggy to me, and seem as though everyone as well, but we know it only happened after Eos took control.

A civil war looms on the horizon as well. Not just one, but many, led by different factions. The two most powerful and somewhat understandable leading ones are “The Crusaders” and “The Apple Clan”. I, myself, lead a small rebellion group. It’s just comprised of a few of the locals of town, some of the escaping refugees who decided to join, a handful of ex-members of the Wonderbolts, and many of the creatures we managed to train from the Everfree.

There is one problem. The groups hate each other, and if we don’t work together, we’ll end up annihilating ourselves. War is on the horizon, and without a proper rebellion, everyone will perish. Fighting is not far off, and we’re running out of time.
