First, there was the void.
A perpetual plane of nothingness.
But suddenly, Time was forced into existence. A never ending enigma of past events and unborn Time that have yet to come.
And with it, existed Matter. For without Matter, Time couldn't be. And without Time, Matter must halt in a frozen state, unable to react to Time.
But were there is Matter, There must be Anti-Matter. It's destiny is to be the exact opposite sum of it's counter parts. And so started the never ending process of annihilation. Massive amounts of energy was relegated in this time period, every collision illuminating the dark void. Each cataclysmic out burst creating Hydrogen, the most basic element in existence, and violently throwing the atoms into the cold darkness. The event proved that Matter is greater than the sum of its parts.
The dot of super condensed atoms is not even a trillionth of a millisecond old. And already all of the matter that will ever come into existence has been condensed into microscopic area smaller than a cell. It's stored energy cannot be measured, for it exceeds all known methods of calculation.
In a time span less than it took for all of the matter that would ever be to form, the small dot grew expanded to the size of base ball. Within a billionth of a millisecond, the rapidly expanding mass had gained over two light years of space. With the ever growing state of the object time was forced to slow down to what is now its natural rate. Massive clouds of hydrogen spanning for thousands of miles, where condensed by the shock waves from the gargantuan explosion, birthed the first star. No bigger than fifteen feet, the fiery ball of gas immediately co lapsed, as the first super nova occurred, repeating the process of birthing and dying stars.
The Universe is born.
Over a period of seven billion years, the first solar systems filled with ever unique planets came to be. Giant clumps of molten magma orbited stars accompanied by small moons and asteroids.
It is here in this System we see a Gas Giant in its infancy. It's powerful gravity influencing the planets around it as well as catching rouge asteroids that find their way into the system.
It is this planets gravity that proved ever important to a mass of rocks, only two kilometers large. In a collision with another mass the body was slung out of the Gas Giants sphere of gravitational influence, and became suspended in a lower orbit around its star.
two billion years have passed, and the Asteroid has become permanently locked in its orbit. It has grown almost three thousand times its original size. its axis has been tilted by an impact from another celestial body, as well as gifting the planet a small moon.
It is Unknown how it came to be, but 11 billion years after the creation of the universe, single cell organisms evolved on the blue planet now fresh with water.
With time, these creatures grew and multiplied. They gained intelligence with each generation, and eventually they learned to hate each other. Their hatred lasted for centuries, and grew with every conflict. With their conquest they produced some of the most destructive weapons to ever be used. Weapons that once came close to destroying all life on the planet. During the long cold decades, the species moved their concurring gaze to the stars. They built space faring vessels that carried their kind to the heavens, and helped end the long period of blood shed.
Harnessing the hidden power of Anti-matter, they extended their reach across the galaxy moving faster than the speed of light. Boldly going where no life had gone before.
With time they cured all illnesses and injuries, nearly obtaining immortality. They unlocked the inner powers of the mind obtaining dream like powers. With the knowledge of Life itself, they created the two Sisters. The goddess of life, and the goddess of death.
They guided the two Sisters and nurtured them, supplying them with powers beyond imagination. They created a planet filled with beautiful ore rich mountains reaching to the heavens and crystal blue oceans spanning the surface. But the Sisters soon became lonely, their precious planet barren and untouched. And thus they were gifted with the God of intimacy.
Together the two Sisters produced many offspring. The oldest of the brothers and sisters being Sol, The Goddess of day. And Luna, the goddess of the night. Together the two races lived in harmony, loving and caring for each other as time passed.
But Sol soon became jealous of the great Fore Runners. For centuries they had denied their technology and wisdom from their child species. Over come with the hatred that once haunted the wise race of Fore Runners that fueled their bloody conflicts, stole the power of the two Sisters and evolved into Daymare Sol, Goddess of destruction.
With her new powers Sol created and army of relentless spirits and creatures that were deprived from the nightmares of the Fore Runners. Unable to cope with the loss of their powers, The two mothering goddesses faded away leaving Luna and the god of intimacy in the wake of an unspeakable army of Demons.
Unable to allow Daymare Sol to destroy her own race, the Fore Runners unleashed their full military might among the army. But it could only hold it off for so long.
In a desperate attempt to stop Daymare Sol's wrath, The god of intimacy used his love of the two sisters to create the elements of harmony. but in the process he sacrificed his own life to forge such powerful weapons.
But it was already too late to save the Fore Runners. With her army Daymare Sol had purged the once power full race and Forced them to extinction. But not before an Fore Runner by the name of Icarus, hid his species knowledge away in the tallest mountain of the darkest planet. Stored within a vault, forged of solid diamond.
Using the Elements of harmony, Luna banished Hatred from Sol's mind, and trapped it deep within the the planets core. Sol now with the powers of her parents, became known as Celestia.
In a effort to resurrect their parents, Celestia and her sister Luna searched the cosmos for the Labyrinth of Knowledge in hopes it will contain the answer they seek. But ultimately failed and thus they remained on their planet, alone and without love.
But Icarus had left one gift for the two goddesses. The gift of life. And to this day, the two Sisters together rule Equestria and its peoples in harmony. And so the vault containing infinite knowledge remains hidden, waiting to be opened.
At least for now...
