Legend Of The Pink Mare: Vol. 1

“The winds have foretold, that in our darkest hour, a hero will rise from the crowd. A mare with great power, and knowledge in the art of laughter and friendship. It is she, who will combine the now fractured elements from their burning hate and into a powerful alliance. It is she, who will raise an army of brave and heroic ponies, and banish all evil from our now destroyed land, and bring peace back to Equestria.”

• The Prophecy of the Pink Mare.

As the sun slowly made its way across the clear blue sky, a pink figure lay on a grassy hilltop. The pink mare was taking a respite from all the noise that was common in town. Ponies yelling at each other, fillies playing around in the sun and just the general noise from ponies going about their day.

The pink mare was known by the name of Pinkie Pie or 'Pinkie', as her friends would call her, or had called her. It had been nearly a year since her friends had left each other. As the story goes, Pinkie had once been a part of group of six unique friends. Each friend represented an element from something known as 'The Elements of Harmony'.

The first of them, Rainbow Dash, was known for being a friend that you could always count on when you needed her. She represents the element of Loyalty. Then there was Fluttershy, the kindest pony Pinkie had ever known. She had a vast knowledge of animals and loved to take care of them, but wasn't the greatest when it came to being social with other ponies. Fluttershy represented the element of Kindness.

The third pony, was Applejack. She was a honest and strong work pony, who would always be ready to fight by your side. She's a part of the Apple Family, a rather large family, known all around Equestria for their skill in farming. Applejack was the element of Honesty.

The next of the elements is Rarity. She is very beautiful pony that takes pride in her appearance. She also ran a successful business out of her home which made her a well-known fashionista. She held the element of Generosity.

The last but most certainly not least of Pinkie Pie's friends, was Twilight Sparkle. The personal student of Princess Celestia, and the key element that would hold the girl's friendship intact. Twilight represented the element of Magic.

And then there was Pinkie Pie, proudly representing her element. The element of Laughter. Their friendship had lasted for almost 5 years, and it all began the night they defeated Nightmare Moon, but that is another story.

As the years passed, these 6 friends had been on various adventures and each time learned something new about each other, and giving them a stronger bond. But, one day they each went their own path. Agreeing that they would never talk to each other again, because a strong source hatred had cast itself upon them. As their corrupted friendship fell apart, so did the land that they were supposed to keep in harmony and peace.

Three years have passed, since they all went their own way, and as the time went on, the five ponies had each created a kingdom of their own. Equestria, the kingdom these ponies were living in, had now been torn into five different kingdoms. Each of these kingdoms had a furious hatred for each other. There was no doubt that one day, these kingdoms would wage war with each other. As for Pinkie, she was the only one who had yet to start a kingdom, mostly because she did not have hatred for the others like they did.

Rainbow Dash had moved up into the northern Crystal Mountains with the rest of the pegasi from Cloudsdale, after it fell into the hooves of The Royal Empire. Rainbow Dash, who saved most of the population during the attack, had now been crowned leader of the pegasi roaming the cold north. Her province is now known as the New Pegasi Republic, or NPR.

Twilight Sparkle, due to her connections with Princess Celestia, joined forces with them to help bring justice and order back to Equestria, thus forming The Royal Empire.  They destroyed everypony who denied their way of life. The Royal Empire lies within the heart of Equestria, the center of everything, having Canterlot as its capital.

To the far east of Equestria's coast, roamed the only empire known for their golden armor and heavy weaponry. They bring more than a few looks on the battlefield. Ruled by Lady Rarity, this is the only empire that is roaming the seas. With their huge battleships and frigates, there was no doubt that they controlled the sea. There is no official name for this empire, but since most of their reputation comes from their raids on shipping lanes and attacks on costal, they had been given the name of the Equestrian Pirates.

In the western province of Equestria, lies the land of enchantment and mythical creatures, all of them controlled by the one and only, Fluttershy. She had taken western Equestria, due to its large animal population, both ordinary and mythical, transformed it into a kingdom. It is said that Fluttershy has overcome her fear for dragons and has raised an army of fire breathing monsters to fight by her side. Whether these rumors are true, no one knew. All Pinkie Pie knew, was that Fluttershy has overtaken the entire west side of Equestria, and it had been a bloody mess from what she had heard. This was something which had surprised her, since she knew how sensitive and kind Fluttershy could be. But of course she had her moments from time to time, where even Pinkie Pie couldn't tell if it really was Fluttershy.

The last of her group of friends was Applejack. She and her family moved down south, where relatives of the Apple family had settled down after the defeat of Nightmare Moon. Applejack had automatically been declared leader of the entire "Apple Kingdom", as they called themselves, since she was the one who had convinced them that non Apple family related ponies were not welcome in their province. Not much is heard about, nor from the Apple Kingdom, since nopony is allowed to enter their territory.

As for Pinkie Pie, she was currently living in Ponyville as she has been for many years now. She lives with the Cakes family who owned Sugar Cube Corner, which was very popular due to it fantastic cakes and treats. Pinkie Pie had moved to Ponyville when she was just a small filly. She was born and raised on a rock farm, which her parents owned. Along with Pinkie Pie, there were three other fillies who had lived with her on the farm, they were her sisters. Each following their own path, once Pinkie's parents passed away. Abandoning the rock farm and leaving it as a memorial for their parents.

Ponyville wasn't under the influence of a kingdom, since Mayor Mare had begged Princess Celestia for Ponyville to be an independent town. They felt they had nothing to do with the conflict which was slowly getting more and more noticeable throughout Equestria. Princess Celestia accepted the mayor's request, but Royal guards would still be around, to keep an eye out for any intruders from the other kingdoms.

Now years later, Pinkie Pie had been living her own life in the peaceful town of Ponyville. She had never really thought about how she would react if a world war across Equestria would break out, and she surely didn't wanted to find out. All Pinkie Pie wanted was for her friends to come back to her, back to their normal lives, as friends, as the Elements of Harmony. If only she knew how to get them back, she would do anything to make it happen.
