Fallout Equestria: Regrets

Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria there came an era when the ideals of friendship gave way to greed, selfishness, paranoia and a jealous reaping of dwindling space and natural resources. Lands took up arms against their neighbors. The end of the world occurred much as we had predicted. The world was plunged into an abyss of balefire and dark magic. The details are trivial and pointless. The reasons, as always, purely our own. The world was nearly wiped clean of life. A great cleansing; a magical spark struck by pony hooves quickly raged out of control. Megaspells rained from the skies. Entire lands were swallowed in flames and fell beneath the boiling oceans. Ponykind was almost extinguished, their spirits becoming part of the ambient radiation that blanketed the lands. A quiet darkness fell across the world.

But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of the world. Instead, the apocalypse was simply the prologue for another bloody chapter in pony history.

Heroes...

We all need heroes, children. Now more than ever. It's a good fight that they're fighting, and they're doing it on behalf of all of us. But the Equestrian Wasteland is hard on heroes. No... it's brutal to them. It beats them down. It tears them apart. Eventually, every hero falls. Inevitably, every hero fails.

Now listen close children. Heroes ain't machines from some Equestrian Robotics factory. Heroes are ponies, just like us. Doing the things that we should be doing because there ain't nopony else doing them. The true mark of a hero is not that they never fail, never fall down. I've said it a hundred times and I'll say it again: the one great truth of the wasteland is that every pony has done something they regret.

No, you know a true hero by what they do after they fall. By the way they pick themselves back up again, shake themselves off, and throw themselves back into that good fight. Despite what they done, and despite the bleak prospects of a happy ending.

Sad truth is most heroes don't survive. Or they become overwhelmed by the cruelty and despair and, disheartened, they give up.

But in the Stable Dweller, the Bringer of Light, I've seen a hero of an entirely new tier. I was convinced... still am... that this heroine will never surrender to the wasteland, never give up.

There is, however, one other fate that may befall heroes. When the horrors and the pain of the Equestrian Wasteland become too much for them, they can snap. They can turn into the very monsters they choose to fight. Sadly, children, it can happen to the very best of ponies. Even Fluttershy had her Gardens of Canterlot.
