ONE IN A TRILLION

A fan-fiction by Anjmus Aetuor-Va

Prologue

In Equestria, there has always been a strong faith in the goodness of ponies. The Princess, Celestia, has lived for longer than anypony could ever know. Moreover, she has ruled Equestria alone for just as long. There are whole academies devoted to her theories on living, her theories on something called Harmony. One such academy - the one closest to her in fact - which is situated in the Equestrian capitol of Canterlot, is steeped in untold amounts of ancient texts and scrolls. Of course, as one would imagine these age old scripts are locked tightly away. They are from a different time, when Harmony was not so very prevalent in common society.

A darker time, a time some say when there were actually two Princesses, and when a being called Discord had whole cults and a practical empire hiding beneath the surface of Equestrian society. These texts, however, are so attractive to the smaller of eyes... Eyes belonging to those whom still retain their innocence, whom wish only to make their Princess happy.

   Xyra Lovebloom was born in the year 972 AE, and at a young age discovered she had a natural affinity for magic. She didn't much care for that, though. Why should it matter what her special talent is? What if she wanted to do things her own way? Maybe life is simpler than that, maybe it's more complicated. That is a mystery none have unraveled.
