Equestria Origins

Chapter 1

This is but one of the tales that were kept from the minds of ponies...

Long ago, their was a prosperous land that was well kept by the hands of the dragons. These were no normal dragons, but they were the first guardians of the land. Some were small, and some were huge. The rulers of the land were the ones who took the form of many land masses , and became the size of mountains and volcanos. These dragons were called Deity Dragons...

The oldest and more wises of them was Deity. He was bigger than any know mountain, and provided food, crops, meat, and jewels. He also looked over the land with care, and made sure no one would attack his family.

One day, the Deity decided to divide the other rulers to different places where dragons need help. So, he sent all five of his partners to other regions. Bellatrix was assigned to the region of ice, Hadar to the desert region, Sirius in the forest region, Orion in the Swamp region, Asis in the water region, and Deity's brother Dense Slate was assigned to the savanna region. All of them had their own responsibilities, and were responsible for whatever happened on there region. The land was full of happiness and glee...

But one morning, out of nowhere, forces of the unknown called the dark monsters terrorized the land, and eventually made their way to the dragon land, and to claim it as their own. Pleading to the rulers to help them, they hid in terror to whey out the danger of the dark forces. The rulers were in constant battle with them, shedding blood and power so their family can live in peace. Over the course of months, and as the day never rose since, the dark ones subsided, and the rulers, who were badly weakened, went of to there homes to rest, and let the other dragons clean and find loved ones who were dragged away by the dark forces...

Finally seeing the light of day, the dragons, who now overcame the horrible attack, was soon faced with other problems that they could not understand. Their loved ones and friends whom they found alive had a strange power. They were able to levitate objects, make them disappear, transport them somewhere else, and turn them into different things. This scared dragon, but eventually they got used to it and continued there daily life with strange new powers.

The dark monsters who tried to take over the dragon's lives were taking it's toll on one of the rulers. Dense Slate, who took care of his lands dragons could not overcome the darkness that was taking over him. He enslaved his people, hurting them, and sometimes never feeding them, and throughout the days the land became dry and lonely. His brother Deity saw this, and tried to stop his brother from hurting the dragons, but Dense Slate was too far gone, as he challenges his own brother for his own land. Deity was able to stop his brother, and banished him to a far and desolate land. The rulers, fearing that they to would be taken over by the darkness, left their land and gave it to the hands of the dragons they once took care of, and told them that the dark force will not touch them, and that the Deity dragons will always be there to help them if something happens...

No one knows where they went, but their legend lives on in the dragons breath. The land that Dense Slate left behind is now in the hands of ponies, and there they are able to find true destiny. The elder ponies who know the story inspire the young ones to be as courageous and strong as the dragons in the legend, and tells them to make a difference that could turn their dreams into reality...
