The Outcasts

The tale of the Mare in the Moon, a story that was "supposedly" made for little kids, or foals in pony talk I guess. Truth is though, they don't know what really happened. They, the ponies, think that it was just between a jealous sister, that was possessed by a demonic entity, and the other a hypocritical sun goddess and their armies. But it was so much more than that, the war would determine whether the world would go through the balance of day and night, or eternal night, which doesn't make much sense when you think about it, everything would freeze to death in a matter of weeks. Any way, the other countries and races, such as the Griffons or Minotaurs, all hid away, not wanting to get involved. But back then, Equestria was home to more than just ponies. Many other creatures lived there as well, like gem golems, gremlins, Homo Reptilia, and the most common of all, the humans, like me.

Well I'm not really a normal human though.

But anyway, these creatures, and more, first joined Night Mare Moon, gaining an advantage in the war for the New Luna Republic. But soon, the creatures learned that they have been deceived. They left the Republic and near the end of the war, joined Celestia's side. This gave Celestia and her armies a huge advantage. Soon they were on Nightmare Moon's doorstep, charged in, and helped Celestia banish her fallen sister to the moon. If it wasn't for the creatures, the world be in eternal night.

However, being on Night Mare Moon's side for a majority of the war has made a......bad impression on the ponies of Equestria, to say the least. Celestia, haven forgiven the creatures, and thanked them, sadly said they had to leave Equestria. The creatures were outraged, they fought for what they thought was right, and had been deceived by the one they were originally sided with. But Celestia said they didn't have to be gone forever. She sent them to the Everfree forest and beyond, to live, and wait until it was ready for them to return. Celestia didn't say when exactly they could return, only when tensions and bad memories have faded away. Its been one thousand years, and still nothing. Maybe some day we will return to Equestria, but I doubt it would be in my life time. I have heard that the ponies tell that we are myths and legends, but not positive ones. But still, you never know.

But right now, I'm happy with the way things are. Its a hard, but honest living around here. Everybody is there to help you out if you really need, but if you don't try to pull your weight, you'll go hungry. Living in the Everfree means that there is excitement almost everyday, manticores, chocatrice, timber wolfs, you name it. But it would be nice to interact with Equestria, make getting supplies easier that's for sure, but I'm contempt with the way things are.

The ponies call us monsters, things, and abominations before even getting to know us. Maybe some of us are. But there is one thing all of us have in common.

We are The Outcasts
