Equis

(With a quite boring narrator)

Twilight Sparkle was a hero among ponies. Yes she had some of those bumps in the road but she always had somepony always look after her, from brother to parent and now, friends. Her friends, the great and courageous ponies that helped her from the beginning. From the return of Nightmare Moon, and the re-awakening of the rampaging chaos champion, a foolish, dark pony wielding the darkest secrets of magic itself. All of which have been defeated. Because of these deeds, she has become a princes, The Princess of Magic and Friendship along with The Elements of Harmony.

But the last battle that they fought made them more then laying broken. Their original rulers now gone and trapped. A being filled with all the magic that ponies once had. And the Chaos Ruler? He has betrayed them, even to his dearest friend. Her friends weakened from their magic being drained and gone. Cutie marks were of the past, now bare flanks as they once were from the day they were born. Even the slightest of movements could cripple them. They would need magic, for their life...

Even the Princess of Friendship would be found at the brink of hopelessness, at the very pinnacle of unconsciousness she and her friends dared to look back up.

And all they saw was the thing that took everything from them. Everything that they've known and loved. The very sole creature who defeated them. They both had bargained in the end. She would give everything for her friends, even her very essence that made her the Element of Magic. But even then it wasn't enough. Not the limitless powers Celestia or Luna. Not even the chaotic randomness of Discords conjurations.

No.

He needed to go further. Everything in the whole country of Equestria, or even possibly the world, could not fall him. Not anymore anyway. They could only watch with their glazed, soulless eyes as Tirek bellowed a deafening slew of laughs. It echoed throughout the winds and shook the mountains to it's core.

'This is it...' Twilight thought.

'I'm sorry girls... I'm so, so very sorry.' Tears start to trickle down her cheeks.

'But, at least I will be able to see you in just a bit...' Twilight's eyes start to close, ever so slowly.

'Just... Let me-' Her vision blurs.

"Sleep."

"Huh-?" And then everything went dark.

In another world...

(With a quite different narrator...)

Torches flickered in the breeze of the chilling winter wind while small snowflakes start to drop from the sky onto the grassy ground below. The sun is just starting to peek just over the horizon casting it's warm glow and banishing the shadows from the night. In the distance one could faintly see an outline of a carefully placed hut on the edge of the cliff. While pained groans and the sound of what is like a bag of bones being jostled around starts to fill the air.

And to some people, it's the sound of heavens angels singing.

And to others? Not so very much. In fact, It's actually quite terrifying.

"What the...? OH MY CELESTIA!?" A voice shrieked.

Hmm, do you see my point?

"Wha-?! W-where am I!?" The voice said again. Quite obviously flustered.

You see, Twilight Sparkle was also not the most stable of ponies either. And in truth, everything that she is seeing, is not making it anymore better. What she is observing right now is quite literally so mind breaking to her that she has actually been staring at it for quite awhile:

A pile of dirt.

And you see, it was a very nice pile of dirt which she has to admit. Soil is relatively loose making it ideal for farming and/or gardening. Quite healthy and has little to no debris within it. It's just for one fact that boggles her mind:

It's a square. Complete with a whole one meter in length, width and height. Ninety degrees on every angle. It's just so p-e-r-f-e-c-t...

That, and it's also floating one meter in the air. She, is very confused If I may say so. She waves a hoof side to side between the block and the ground where there seems to be nothing beneath it. She floats upwards and does the same to the top.

Nothing.

Such simplicity confuses her. But before she could keep on observing such a strange phenomenon she also relies that the trees are also blocks. Including it's leaves. Her eyes widening she looks around herself, fully engaging everything that her eyes lay upon. And the first thing she sees is a very big arachnid five feet ahead of her. And it too is made of blocks. And- is that a skeleton riding on top of it? Her pupils dilate and- oh my. You may want to cover your ears as of right now...

"AHHHH~!"

*Pcssssh~

'Heh, the sound of sizzled beef in the morning with eggs will not get old...' Steve thought a he stirred the coals in the open oven. Walking away from it as he opens a chest beside it, shuffling through it's contents before standing up with a hearty amount of apples in hand. Going towards the front door while the pressure plates do their 'magic' opening the door into the chilly winter day.

*Munch~ 'Mmph, I probably go and see what that weird sound was all about. Nearly made me stab myself with my own sword...' He turned his head down into the spruce forest below, crouching just on the edge.

'Nah, maybe later in the day. Besides, I killed a dragon just two days ago. These EXP will not use themselves. Nothing could be that different in just two days...' He walks back inside down the stairs into his enchantment room.

'Now... Show me what you got...' He smiles as he gets on to crafting.
