The Very Beginning of The Beginning

Before all the events shown in the show, before the birth of Equestria, before Discord could even come into existence, and before nature could be controlled by ponies with no regard for the ways of the world, there was a civilization of Democracy. Ponies held no cutie-marks, there was no need for them. Chaos and Harmony were both balanced forces, always fighting and always at a draw. Both of them co-existing in a circular motion. Each of them had seeds of their labor, Harmony had planted the trees of Hope and Chaos planted the vines of Despair. Neither could exist without one another, which is why the trees are surrounded by the vines. Towns and Cities were built around these prospects, and a peaceful nation arose from the rules set up by the two entities. Even so, Harmony had to find a way to educate the ponies untouched by the light of her trees.

On the other side of the world, a single tree of harmony was grown, along with the vines of Chaos. Each had that regions destiny written into its core. Harmony gave two earth ponies the enlightenment of the two sides of her. Light Harmony, which took its role in what you know as Celestia, and Dark Harmony, which Luna represents. Each of them grew into the roles chosen by Harmony to rival Chaos and Discord.

Although the lore of that land says differently, there is always Chaos in Harmony, and vice versa. This is shown well in Luna, as she made the transformation into Nightmare Moon. Even if it was her own personal feelings that drove her to be Nightmare Moon, the Dark Harmony made her feel that way by sensing the extreme amounts of Chaos between the Dark and the Light. Both were made as equals, and the power Light was gaining from too much praise showed that. When Chaos inside the Dark Harmony took control to show Light's error, Light only made it worse by banishing the darkness. And so began the Thousand Year Despair across the seas. The error of Light condemned many races to death and forced them to move across the seas, where they were hunted and persecuted and banished to the Everfree Forest.

There is a reason these creatures despise ponies with markings upon their hides, and there is a reason the zebras live far to the South with many other beings. They originated across the ocean, along with dragons. The mistakes of the Eastern Civilizations forced them to near extinction, and to this day, they search for a way back. To this day, they search for the Harmony and the Chaos that created them. Most have lost all hope of that, and have given into despair, but a very few, like Zecora, understand it exists. Harmony had given hints that she would return within another, along with Chaos.

Any guesses on who that is reader?
