//-------------------------------------------------------// In The Beginning -by Pastel Star- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Reforming //-------------------------------------------------------// Reforming The earth ponies were first. They were greeted by a group of humble unicorns that had traveled, beginning with two hundred and ending with a rounded seventy five.In the gruop lied a small, hopeful filly named Comet Streak.With a empty stomach and parched throat she was glad to hear that the unicorns were heading towards a tribe of ponies that knew the land like the back of their hoof.As they trotted to a crimson colt appearing to be the leader, her father searched the area.      Baren land was all the eye could see as they traversed the rolling hills.What seemed like acres of farmland was untreated and dry.Her father shook his head and spoke :        "Why travel this long way to a broken promise of oasis? "      After the death of Comet Streak 's mother, her father slowly faded along with the memories of her mother's smiling face telling her she 'd get her cutie mark soon.     Comet Streak glanced at her blank flank in memory trying to latch on to her mesmeric voice.       The group finally arrived at the gathering of earth ponies behind the muscular colt.        "Hello, " the unicorn leader spoke " I am Kronos."        "Beet Burrow," the pony hesitated.        Thunder then shook the land.         "I knew it, " Beet Burrow jerked scanning the sky.       The earth ponies gathered immediately looked up too, appearing annoyed.Suddenly, a barrage of candy colored ponies swooped down from the sky as if descending from the heavens.Soon enough a bright yellow peagasus stopped at the sight of the earth pony leader's grimace.      "Hey Beet Pit! "The girl cooed, slowly descending to the gravel road.        She turned and waved at both the crowds with a friendly smile.Beet Burrow rolled his eyes and pulled her down.        "Get that goofy smile off you 'r face!"       "Whatever, old man, " she said floating back up and turning to the crowd, "name 's Light Prism."        Her and her flock flew over the earth ponies greeting them one by one.Light Prism swooped over and bopped Comet Streak on her snout.She smiled flying away to greet more unicorns.Her father spoke to a skinny colt flying around        "Where 's all of the food? "        "The earthies stored it all in the village house and hand out rations every month, "the Pegasus said.        "Well do you think we could stay here with you 'r village here? "        "We live in the clouds,but all the pegasi made a deal to control the weather and watch over the land if they feed us. I just don't know if Beet Burrow will let you in."         "Oh, " father whispers and end the conversation.        Beet Burrow raises his hoof, hushing the crowd.He stands up on two hooves and speaks            "Welcome to Ponyville." //-------------------------------------------------------// Receding //-------------------------------------------------------// Receding    In a land was a village, next to the village was a forest, in that forest there was a castle, and in that castle a life began.Alicorns cheered seeing Astra carrying the small baby filly out of the ruler's quarter. The filly was shrouded with a collection of night colors.Her father, Astra, knew just by seeing her that she would take on his duties of rising the moon and bringing night.For this he named her Luna.Celestia admired her young sister by her father's side,always grinning at her sleeping smile.Of course,Celestia was going to bring light after her sister's comforting night, and she couldn't wait to be side by side her sister doing it.Her father smiled down on her as the crowd died down.     Ever since alicorns were made they controlled the working of the solar system and watched over the three pony tribes,yet they never interfered with them.They thoughtit would break the balance that they had bestowed Apon the land.Harmony was a thing that they always wanted to keep and the only way to do that was with the gems that they found on a crystal tree near the castle.Most alicorns lived with or near Astra and Lucentia,their rulers for they were a small raze that stick together.      The day of Luna's birth was the day of Reforming, when the three tribes came together and stayed.As Luna grew older and more powerful the tribes grew more, but never grew together.They resented eachother and the alicorns tried to use the tree. But to no avail.A dangerous and malevolent force was coming and the power of the tree was failing under the hatred and discord.Astra and Lucentia prepared the alicorns for what was to come and taught Celestia and Luna of magic of friendship and harmony.     The storm came a week layer.      Alicorns trotted out of the castle armed and ready for battle.Darkness rose from the horizon.Earth ponies fell.Pegasi fell.Unicorns fell.Alicorns fell.       Two alicorns were left.        Luna and Celestia.      They cowarded in the darkness of the castle without a soul.They starred at the gate, waiting for their parents to come and hold them.They waited for a year.        No one came.....so they ran and never looked back.
