Rise from the Ashes, a sidefic written by Nightrein, is a story about a stallion stricken with amnesia after a being hosed with bullets. After waking up without memory, he is forced to set out into one of the most perilous areas the Equestrian Wastes have to offer: The Marejave Desert. With no past, no destination, not even a name, he treks out on the hopes of finding who he was, who took him down, and getting a little revenge.
The story itself can be found on FiMFiction or on Google Docs.
