I am Vizzcion, my true name lost in the vials of time. I am Death. All life on Equeed was gone, shouldn't I be happy? I'm sad that's not how it works, I never had the pleasure of having my own family, until I did what I swore not to do

I'm called Vizzcion, i've been around for longer than the planet itself, namely six billion years.
Life was extinct, I was death, shouldn't I be happy? Not so much because you see... I was bored, and being immortal comes with one big downside: You can not go insane, your sanity will not deplete.
So, I did what I was sworn to never do.
I created life.
I created her.
I named her.
She was my daughter in all but blood.

She.

Diary... I can't believe i'm doing this, but I am. I am breaking one of my own rules to cure my boredom, the one thing I should not do.
I am creating life.

Several of billions of years ago one of the races that lived on Equeed, I never cared to learn their name but I call them Drago'nkin. They like every race else were short of passing, currently humans hold the record with over six billion years and ticking, of course I am the only one left and I can not die, so we'll always hold the record.

How boring.

Humans... Right now I am the last race living on this planet and in this entire galaxy, my boredom is never ending and my loneliness is only worse.

Today however, I am creating life.

A thing I always liked about my time was horses, they had soon become extinct however from humanity's constant needs, they deserved to live in harmony.

There are few places in the entire universe where you can create life and if by some random stroke of fate or luck one of those places were right here, inside Mount Everest, or at least what remains of it.

Now you're surely wondering a few things, one of them being how I would make my entire way up the Mount Everest, there's a reason I don't use a dragon to move around.

I spread my black as night wings as wide as I could, which was nearly two meters, which meant it was not as long as me.

I soared into the sky to reach the cave on the side of the mountain, having six billion years under my belt have allowed me a bit of training.

Walking into the cave I noticed how it wasn't dark like it should be, but instead a dim light was across the entire cave, normally this would unsettle me but I had a few explanations, one being a very hopeful and distant belief that maybe, just maybe...

There's another life form in here.

As I ventured deeper into the mountain the light grew denser, making me shield my eyes with my wings.

Heading downwards I was, the energy source would be located at the bottom... Soon, life will rise again.

Almost there... Just a bit more... Finally! There it was, a single pearl sitting on a golden alter inscribed in ancient runes made of diamonds...

Walking up to the altar I felt the smile on my face grow wider because it wasn't used...
Ever.

It had full power! I could create one immortal and almost a full two hundred mortals with this.

If I remember correctly... Imagine the shape of the creature, add specific features... How it will evolve under evolution...
Specialties... Hmm... Spells.

I couldn't give them magic by the of chance they destroy each other but one thing I can give them is spells.
My smile went deep and far across my face as I imagined the five races.

Alicorn, the one immortal.
Pegasi, the weather manipulating flying ones, I would create thirty.
Earth Ponies... It must not be inferior, fifty of count with a truly magical connection to earth.

Unicorns, one hundred and twenty of count, spell casters! No true magic of course... But spells, basic rules? Hmm... The only limit is what they learn.

Bat Ponies... Ah, yes... Better night vision, bat wings and increased durability...
I'll give them all a calling in life yes! A marking... But where? I'll let evolution handle that one detail.

Pouring magic into the pearl it started glowing brightly and there was a sharp noise in the air, I felt stabs in my chest and back as I poured my entire being into this one big chunk of magic.

Then, it exploded.

It burned and hurt so much, I may be immortal but I can still feel pain... I hope the results is worth this.

CRA-CRABOOM!

Mount Everest shot into the air, expanding.

Something went wrong... What could've gone wrong?! I can see the lights shoot out in different directions, creating life.
But then as the last big chunk hit something far away, a single stray of light was left in the pearl.

One last life.

The Spirit of Change.

Without change, there can not be harmony.

This creature will be ever changing and will be the only creature on the planet except me able to use true magic.

The pearl cracked and fell onto the ground as it absorbed the last stray of magic I pumped into it.

Deciding not to be around when it awakes I fly to where I think the immortal was.

Finding her... She was one eighty centimeters tall with a horn and wings, her coat was a deep night black and the mane looked like liquid black fire.

She was staring at me, not understanding what was going on but I knew that I had given these creatures their own train of thought, they were intelligent and were to be treated like an equal.
An equal have a name.

I held out a hand and smiled.
"Hi, i'm Vizzcion, what's your name?"
She looked at me before putting her hoof in my hand and shaking it.
"I... Don't have one."

Her voice... It was like silk but still held authority, a true leader.
"Well then, that won't do! I know just the name for you too." I said creating a necklace that looked like a black swirl of mass.
"You do? Would you... Name me?" She asked slightly embarrassed as I did my best not to laugh, I had given them all emotions.

"Yes, a beautiful name, what do you think of Space?" I asked hanging the amulet around her.
She smiled.

"Yes, I like that name... Thank you, Vizzcion. But I must ask, what are you?" I laughed a bit to myself because I had not implemented any knowledge of humans to them and neither will I.
"Me? I am Immortal.

I am Death." I said looking at her, she still smiled but looked slightly more cautious.

"I created you, ponies. A new species that will rule this land once and for all, right now you're the only species alive except the Spirit of Change, and well me." I said with slight amusement in my voice, gesturing to myself.

"I see..."

"Don't worry, there's two hundred of you guys, and you're a leader."
This seemed to shock her indeed.

"Wh-what? What do you mean i'm a leader? I haven't even met any other of my own species." She said in a matter of fact tone of voice.

"Because that's how I created you.
You are Space, You are Immortal.
You are Time."
