Flashback

History has created many stories, many are forgotten, and many labeled simple myth, great tales with great heroes are forgotten, their only mention in the footnotes of history books. But one of these stories forgotten to all but the oldest and wisest ponies will resurface and will change what many held to be fact.

The Prologue

Year-0

I was hardly able to stand, the battle had worn me down, but I can’t fail not after so much loss.

Getting up I look upon what was once the great city of Canterlot, a charred skeleton only remains. The fighting nearby is intense which only strengthens my resolve to end this war once and for all.

Approaching the throne room in the castle I hear shouting most of which are pleas for peace and the occasional magical blast.

“Please end this!” one of the voices cries.

“Why so we can again be seen as the lesser of us be seen as the loser! We shall not be overlooked again!” the other screams back.

Entering the room silences them both shock on ones face, the other full of arrogance and hatred.

“You’re lackey returns Celestia, and may he be an example of what I will do to all of your precious ponies if you do not surrender the throne to me!” the corrupted version of what was once Luna says pointing towards me.

“Do you have them?” Celestia shakily says as she runs up to me.

“Yes but there is a problem”

“Hmm?”

“They’re going to need a focus; something to direct their power towards her… one of us will have to be with her as the spell is cast”

“But… there’s no one left but us!”

“I know that’s why I’m going to do it”

Celestia’s eyes widen as she realizes the implications.

“NO y-you can’t I’m already losing her I can’t lose you t-to!”

“I’m too weak to cast the spell, besides they will need you here to rebuild.”

“But…”

“No I’m doing it now prepare to cast the spell!”

Dropping my saddlebag, Turning to Luna I charge her and in her surprise manage to tackle her.

“Do it NOW!”

Celestia hesitates for just a moment but pulls the 6 crystals out of the bag and begins the spell.

“No release us! We cannot lose!”

The last of my strength is taken up holding her down. Soon a ray of rainbow light is released from the crystals and heads towards us. As it washes over us I give one last look towards Celestia before everything fades to black. Soon everything snaps back in place and around us is now a crated landscape of gray. A beautiful planet of green and blues hovers nearby. Everything fades to black as I fall unconscious.
