In light of the war going on, the streets of Canterlot were abandoned to the point the once fair city resembled a ghost town. Most everypony had either gone to enlist or take refuge in the Castle as had been the option given to them by Princess Cadence herself before she too had mysteriously disappeared. Of course even the Castle of Canterlot could not hold everypony who had lived in Canterlot and the ones who were not so lucky to be there first ended up hiding within their homes which could be seen boarded up in desperateness.
This left the city completely empty say for one Pony left behind... "Curfew? Blackout?" The pony, Ember Bright, who had long since ditched her winter outfit, and not bothered to flee with the crowd, now sat dead center int he street reading the newspaper which had been released. "Has this war gone to their heads? How the hay' is there supposed to be either one if the sun and moon can't change?" The bright red pony rolled her eyes as she questioned this aloud to nopony in particular due the fact there was nopony around. "No Celestia or Luna means the days stuck, duuuh. What very intelligent leaders we have!" Ember scoffed in sarcasm at the idea as she discarded the newspaper to the ground and wandered off to see if anypony was still around.
If she went home, she could just go back to bed until all this stupidity was over. But with nopony around, this was a rare opportunity in which Ember Bright could take to explore around the entirety of Canterlot without boundaries.
