The following is inscribed in glyphs on ancient stone tablets.

One thousands years ago...

There were once two Princesses who ruled over the wonderful and peaceful land of E- 'scratch' -ia. Princess C- 'scratch' -tia, who brought forth the 'scratch' each and every day, and her younger sister, Princess 'scratch', who brought forth the moon each and every night.

The ponies who lived in this land toiled and worked hard, slaving for the joys and amusement of Princess Cel- 'scratch'.

They rested and relaxed through the peaceful nights under the ever protective and caring eye of Princess 'scratch' -na.

While the ponies loved the peaceful, cool nights, they feared and dreaded the hot and burning days.

At the time, balance was maintained, and all ponies walked on four hooves, more as domesticated animals than sentient beings.

They knew no better, for this was how it had been sense the beginning of E- 'scratch' -ia.

But as time went, the elder sister grew resentful of the love her younger sister received. “Why should the ponies love the dark nights? They live and work during my beautiful, warm days, but shun and hide from my 'scratch'.” Her resentment grew till her anger and hatred grew.

“If they cannot love my days, then I will make the ponies love them.” She then refused to lower the 'scratch' to make way for the night.

The younger sister pleaded and begged for the older sister's mercy, but none was to be shown.

The heat from the 'scratch' started to wilt the plants and turn them brown. The clouds in the sky burned away, providing no shade from the relentless heat.

Finally, Princess C- 'scratch' -tia's anger at her sister grew till she transformed into the wicked monster, 'scratch scratch scratch' ~Tyrant Skyfire~. She brought forth ancient and powerful magic from the age of Discord to murder her younger sister.

To fight back, Princess 'scratch' -na had tr transform herself into 'scratch scratch scratch' ~Princess Nightsong~ and call upon the blessings of the Elements of Harmony.

The battle was fierce, but in the end, 'scratch scratch scratch' ~Princess Nightsong~ won, the love and admiration of all the ponies of 'scratch' -stria giving her the strength she needed.

Being the kind and merciful of the two sisters, 'scratch scratch scratch' ~Princess Nightsong~ imprisoned her sister in the 'scratch' ~Neversky~ for time eternal.

With her final breath, 'scratch scratch scratch' ~Tyrant Skyfire~ swore she would one day return to burn the skies, and all life from the world.

(A huge section of the stone glyphs are missing here, replaced by the following less aged ones on a 'newer' tablet.)

Princess Nightsong, now alone, banished the fire from the sky and created a second moon, one that shone with a soft silver light. The silver moon was bright enough to live by during the night, but not hot like the orb of fire.

To keep the world warm, the newly entitled Queen Nightsong called upon her sister's magic of fire to warm the world from within.

A final act of her divine powers was to set into motion a spell that would break the spells Tyrant Skyfire had long held over all ponies, keeping them in the shape of animals. Over the next two hundred years, Ponies evolved from quadrupedal beasts to the bipedal ponies with hand rather than hooves they are today.

To this day, Queen Nightsong rules the land of Evernight, free from they tyranny of of the burning orb of fire and its tyrannical regent, Tyrant Skyfire.

The remainder of the stone tablets are totally destroyed and unreadable. A shame, as this shows the 'true' history of Evernight.

Author's Note

This is a story I started back during Season 1, but never got around to really working on.

I'm hoping I will be able to get more of this done, as well as get back into the mood to work on some other stories as well.
