Story:

Fallout Equestria: Falling Shadows by Drako Moon and Stardust Night follows the life of Shadow Star, a pony from Stable 28 who is the only unicorn in an earth pony only stable. She was left there by her mother Grimoire with her guardian. The story begins with Shadow being woken up by her friend Strawberry Milkshake in her room on the day she's supposed to be assigned a job. After not being assigned a job because the Overmare couldn't find a place to put her in the stable, she goes off with her friends to the lowest level of the stable. She ends up exploring the depths of the stable alone as her friends hang out in a storage room, and she finds a hidden room. Inside the room is something she's wanted for a very long time, a Pip-Buck. Unfortunately for her she gets caught by security and is taken into custody. Later she's confronted my the Overmare who demands to know why she was down there and wants the Pip-Buck off of her leg. Unknown to Shadow, there are certain files on the device that the Overmare wants; so badly that she's willing to cut off her leg to get it after the stable's Pip-Buck technician discovers he can't remove a model he doesn't have a key for. The Pip-Buck is actually a Pip-Buck 3000 Mk. II, a very seldom used model that isn't native to Stable 28 and was left behind by Shadow's mother. Shadow eventually escapes Stable 28 with the help of her guardian and one of her friends Balefire. She treks across the Marejave Wasteland meeting new friends along the way and making a name for herself as she travels beyond the New Pegasus area to other regions of what remains of Equestria, both explored and unexplored. Prepare to see parts of the Wasteland you haven't seen ever before with places like, Whinnieapolis and Saint's Parish, Los Alicorn, and more!
