(Story extract)
We trotted down the steps and opened another thicker stone door, both of us blinking as we were met by the rising sun. I carefully walked down the last few steps, my hooves meeting something damp and soft. I glanced down to see my hooves sinking slightly into short vegitation — grass? — left quite wet from the passing storm. I paused for a moment, looking around at the landscape.
It was certainly far more verdant than the bitter snow of the Northern Equestrian Wasteland, small fields of grass blowing in the wind on the edge of the rocky cliffs. I stared upwards at the building wed just exited, discovering it to be a tall lighthouse, the brick walls cracked and the top glass shattered. Celestia, this is almost as if the Megaspells didnt hit at all
I began to trot slowly across the outcropping the lighthouse was on, Strike following me in equal stunned silence. The ocean lapped against the stony walls of the land bridge as I slowly came back to my senses, turning to Strike. So, uh where are we headed, exactly? She snapped out of her stupor, glancing down at her Pip-Buck.
Vanhoovers a ways south of here, just have to make our way along the coast and we should hit it. Hopefully the bridges to it are still intact She said, trotting in front of me and beginning to lead the way. Well, after we check the crash site for Thumper, at least. As we climbed up the slowly sloping hill to the cliffs, I noticed a barrier of various metal parts stretching a ways on both sides of the path, much like the makeshift barrier around Mooscow. Once we reached the top of the path, Strike let out a squeak of surprise and ran ahead.
