Origins

             '' Come on sister!'' the older alicorn said as she ran through the fields '' Your going to be late!''

              Behind the white filly another ran just behind her. She was pure white, just like her sister except she was smaller and had shorter mane.With an '' Oof!'' she fell over and into the soft grass. '' Ow!'' the young filly said as she struggled to get up " sister you know that I can't run as fast as you.''

              The older filly stuck her tongue out teasingly '' Well maybe if you practiced more this would not happen''

              '' Hey!'' the younger shouted lunging forward her horn sparking the smallest amount of magic. Of course she would not actually hurt her sister just shock her with her magic, but before she could even try to do that a purple and pink starry hoof stepped in front of her preventing her to do so. the younger immediately stopped and stared at the annoyed face of her mother, Queen Solaria the monarch of the day.

           '' Now now we know that it is rude to hurt one another" the queen chided as she stared at the young filly with a disappointed look on her face.'' Besides today you will find out if you control the sun or the moon.''

          The younger filly gasped in excitement and looked over at her sister who had the same look of excitement in her eyes. She couldn't believe that she might be the next ruler of the sun! She imagined herself sitting on a throne next to her mother looking over her subjects as her dusk colored mane flowed in the wind, Yes she would be the goddess of the sun.

      '' Now come girls the test will begin soon'' A voice cut through the young filly's thoughts as she realized her mother and sister were way ahead.

      '' Hey wait up!'' The younger said running as fast as she could.

Enlighting the flame

       In the beginning there was nothing,except for a huge shimmering plain. This was known as the Aether, the source of all magic or as it was known back then as ''Aracthus.''  But soon the Aether  had begun to collapse, the Aracthus it had created had started to diminish. With that last bit of that force, The Aether collapsed and became nothing but a huge glowing white flame that stood among the darkness.

     Soon after the flame was born it took pity on the emptiness around it and from the flame two regal beings sprung forth. The first was female with a white coat and long comet-like wings. The second was male and as black as the empty space around them, his wings were long and mystical.The flame then decided to give up  some of the Aracthus and it infused it within the two creatures.The female felt a long object spring from her head which the flame called a '' horn''. Her body also became different, large amounts of purple were added to her mane and orange started to cover her wings which glowed with fire. The male also grew a horn but his body became a midnight blue color and his wings became more wispy. The greatest thing about his transformation were the beautiful tiny silver objects that twinkled in his body and wings.

     The flame then decided they two would govern his newly made kingdom in which he called Gaia. It then created two objects, a golden object that glowed with flames from  the Aracthus, and the second was a mystic silver that had the sheen of the Aether itself. The flame called them Sun and Moon. It decided that the female would rule over the sun and control a period of time called day where the creatures of the land would work and harvest food. while the time of moon would be called night, and it would be controlled by the male.

    The flame then sent the two creatures who it named '' Alicorns'' and sent them to Gaia to form the land it had created. The alicorns had given themselves names in which to call themselves. The female was known as Solaria and the male became known as Orion.They together became to shape Gaia and create a world for all. At one point though the two alicorns had began to fight over what period of time each object ruled  The flame noticed and then had created a third creature, a ebony dragon known as Chronos. He would govern over time and space, and keep balance throughout the land.

    Orion and Solaria had fallen in love and a hundred years laters they had two children. Two pure white alicorns with no name or colors. The two rulers knew they were special,but they never knew that one of the two fillies would become the living soul of the flame.
