Beginning

Twilight couldn't believe what she was reading,

My Dearest Twilight, Twilight blushed slightly at the thought of Celestia calling her dear.

Please come to the Castle at Canterlot as soon as you are able. come alone, Do not bring anyone or anything with you.  not even Spike.  Luna and I have a grave matter to discuss with you and it is Imperative that you arrive post haste.  There are some people that need to meet with you. Twilight looked at that word "People with a bit of Confusion.  That term was not one that she was familiar with.  There is no time for a train so you will need to fly.  I certainly hope that you have been paying attention to Rainbow Dash's lessons when it comes to extended Flights.  I hope to see you soon.

Your's Truly.

Celestia

Twilight couldn't remember when she had ever received a letter that held this kind of Importance.  She fought against her nature to pack a heavy saddle bag with books and quills.  She needed to leave now.  Although first thing was first.  She needed to drop Spike off at somepony's house first to look after him while she was gone.  She Looked up at Spike, his face was concerned. "What did the Letter say Twilight?"  She smiled back at her little assistant is an almost motherly fashion. "It's ok Spike, I just need to take a trip to Canterlot for a bit"  Spike's eyes grew at that and Immediately when to grab Twilight's bag as he had so many times before. "Wait Spike you don't need to do that, I don't have time for a bag.  I am going to Drop you off at Rarity's home for a few days but we have to leave now"  Spikes eyes grew at the mention of the love of his life.  Twilight knew that by offering to have him stay with Rarity he would leave the matter alone and be happy for the opportunity to stay with her.

Ten minutes latter they stood in the show room of Rarities boutique.  "Rarity I know this is last minute but would you be able to look after spike for a few days?"  Rarity looked at Twilight with a bit of Confusion and her eyes darted to Spike.  Had grown quite a bit in the last few years and now stood a head taller than Rarity at this point.

"I would love to look after my little Spikey Wikekey."  Spikes cheeks blushed and Twilight knew that she was fine to leave him here.

"Thank you so much Rarity.  I should only be gone for a few days at the most this is a huge help." Twilight turned to spike. "Now spike do everything she tells you and please be as much of a help as possible.  I will be back in a few days and I might be able to let you know what this is all about. But I have to leave now"  She gave him a quick hug and Zipped into the sky toward Canterlot.

Rarity walked up to stand next to Spike and whispered "Does she know about us?"  Spike blushed and responded

"No I don't think she does,  I don't think she would have had me stay with you if she did"  Rarity smiled in a sultry way.

"Well then I guess we get to have a few uninterrupted days together"  Rarity then pushed Spike into the Boutique, closed the door and flipped the open sign to closed.

Twilight flew faster then she have ever done before. Her mind working at a million miles per minute.  What could Celestia and Luna want with her.  Had she done something beyond her station, was she in trouble, was there something that they needed her to do.  While her mind flew through the possibilities she almost flew directly into her sister in law.  Cadence shouted to her to get her attention

"TWILIGHT....TWILIGHT......HELLO TWILIGHT"  Twilight snapped out of her stupor and and her eyes found her pink sister in law.

"Cadence?  what are you doing here?"

Cadence Smiled and responded "I would imagine doing the same thing as you.  Going to Canterlot to speak with Celestia and Luna."  She smiled.  Twilight looked at her and asked

"Do you know whom it is that I am supposed to be meeting?"  Cadence looked back at her and with a Sigh responded

"Yes I know whom it is that you will be meeting, however I can't tell you.  That is for Celestia and Luna to say, not me." Twilight's curiosity was exploding at this point but she knew that she wasn't going to get anything out of Cadence,  The mare had kept that she and her brother were a couple for years and only let her know after the wedding was planned.

They continued their flight to Canterlot talking about how things had been going with there respective responsibility and areas of domain.  Twilight was distracted from here curiosity for a few minutes until they landed at the front gate of the Canterlot Castle.   The guard ushered them inside and directed them to the Throne room where Celestia and Luna sat.  upon entering the throne room the doors were shut and bolted from the inside by Celestia's magic.

"Twilight, Cadence,  I am so happy to see that you arrived with haste.  Had no trouble on the way here i expect."  It was a statement not a question.  Twilight immediately burst

"I came as fast as I could Princess,  What happened, did I do something wrong?. is there something that you need my help with?. Is Equestria in danger again."  she continued on in this manner for another Thirty seconds before anypony was able to calm her down.  Celestia smiled down at her and simply said

"No my dear Twilight there is nothing wrong and you have been fulfilling your Duties admirably.  The reason that I have called you here today is for a different matter, As Cadence is well aware.  Tell me twilight how much history do you know.  Specifically how much do you know about  the time before ponies."

Twilight looked at Celestia with Confusion on her face "Before Ponies princess?"  Celestia smiled

"How many times will I need to remind you Twilight that you do not need to address me as Princess,  We are equals now.  and I figured you wouldn't know much about the time before poines.   Few do, and the few that do know tend to keep what they know to themselves."  Celestia gave Twilight a smile and continued "Ponies have not always been the Dominate Species on this world.  Eons ago there was an other ruling species." Twilight's eyes bulged out and Celestia could see that little filly that she had spent so many years training again.  "Yes I know that this is a bit of a stretch to think about,

I had better start from..." Celestia paused and lost herself in deep thought.  Twilight with confusion and concern asked.

"Are you alright C.. Celestia"  she stumbled on the informal greeting as she had so many times in the past.  Celestia shook herself

"Oh yes I am fine Twilight,  I was just trying to think of the best term,  how can you disciple the beginning of something that has no beginning?"  Twilight looked like she was about to explode with questions so Celestia continued to before she could start. " Well I guess I will state at the point where the major decisions were beginning to be made.

'In the time before time there were only two beings, Nyx the goddess of darkness, and Lux the god of light. they have existed always.  they have no beginning and as such have no end.  at some point Eons ago, Lux grew discontented with his lot in existence.  his was a realm of never ending light,  but he had nothing else. his realm was a void of pure whiteness, no substance.  Nyx was in a similar realm, her's was a realm of darkness,  an empty void of darkness.  however she was content with her lot.  of course you cannot see in the darkness so it mattered not to here that there was no substance.  Lux Approached Nyx with a plan,  He wanted to create something to put substance in their realms.  His was mostly a selfish want.  He wanted to fill his realm with things to look upon while bathed in his never ending light.  However he could not do this alone. Lux needed to have the conflicting power of Nyx to accomplish his goal.  They fought for eons about this,  Nyx not wanting to change things and Lux wanting to create.  After an immeasurable length of time, Nyx relented, they drew up plans to create all that is and would ever be.  Part of the agreement that Nyx would help is that Lux would have to limit his light to come from set directions so as to create shadows,  he would also have to have limits as to when his light could be seen.  This had become a constant battle between the too and inadvertently the chaos of their there arguments brought into being something that was made of pure chaos and discord.  but we will come back to him.  After all the decisions had been made and all the plans laid, the creations of all things began.  Lux created the sun and the stars, Nyx created the void that they are held in.  next came the planets that float though the empty space that fills the void.  and on this planet they created life.  everything from the fish in the sea to the birds in the sky to the ponies on the land.  But we were not their first creations of sentient life my dear Twilight.  For before we ponies came to inherit the earth there was

Man.

Back in Ponyville part 1 (Clop)

Twilight zipped off to Canterlot as soon as she gave Spike her goodbye hug. Rarity stood next to Spike and watched as Twilight flew away.  Leaning in next to spike Rarity asked "Does she know about us?"  Spike blushed and responded

"Yea right, if she had know do you really think she would have left me with you while she is out of town."  Rarity gave Spike the smile she reserved for him.  The sultry one with the half lidded eyes. The image of the first time that Rarity used that smile with him flashed through Spikes mind.

Cider season Two years ago. Right after Twilight's coronation.  Rarity and he has both consumed far too much cider than was proper.  The whole gang was supposed to have spent the night at Twilight's castle.  However Rainbow had ended up staying at Sweet Apple acres with Apple Jack, Cheese Sandwich had been in town and Pinkie and him had disappeared somewhere after the first couple of hours.  And who knows what happened to Flutter Shy. The last Spike had seen of her was when she, Tree Hugger, and Discord had come out from behind the barn, they smelt weird like some kind of incense and they were laughing a lot.  past that Spike though he saw them leave but he hadn't been sure.Twilight had fallen asleep right away. She had never been one to hold her Cider very well.  He had still been getting used to having his own room and bed. Latter into the night still having trouble  getting to sleep.  He had been wondering what was keeping him from sleeping.  He never had problems sleeping before.  But something had just been keeping him awake.  His mind kept drifting to the thought of Rarity sleeping in the room down the hall.  Before bed he had seen her in the Nightgown that she had brought with her.  Spike was sure that Twilight hadn't noticed, but he sure had.  Rarity's nightgown was white and it was made of a shear fabric.  As they had been saying goodnight spike had clearly seen that Rarity was not wearing a bra and apparently was cold. Her perky breasts had firmed up quite nicely and her nipples were sticking out like beacons in the night. He thanked his lucky stars that Twilight was too far gone to notice that the fabric was also slightly see though.  They had parted ways and Spike felt like he had imagined it but almost swore that he had seen Rarity sway her hips and look back at him.  He attributed it to her being buzzed and not realizing what she was doing.  But there he was, lying in bed with that image stuck in his mind.  Rarity with her tits almost out, wearing black lacy panties walking away swinging her ass practically in his face.  The tents in his sheets were beginning to peak.  He smirked, " At least now that I have my own room I can take care of this without having to worry about Twilight waking up.He gripped his twin shafts with his left hand using the grip he has figured out last year.  The image of Rarity fresh in his mind as he began to stroke. Using his imagination he twisted the image into something far sexier than what had actually happened,  His pace began to speed up the though of a release and going to sleep in the back of his mind and he pumped away.  Pre cum leaked from his shafts and lubricated his motions. He could feel it getting closer,  and right before he could let it loose and knock at his door interrupted him.

"Spike?  are you awake"  He couldn't believe that he was hearing that voice. Rarity was standing right outside his room and here he was about 5 stokes from cumming while thinking about her. Without thinking he responded.

"Um... Yea I am still awake,  Can I help you Rarity?"  He nearly smacked himself for responding.

"I want to talk,  can I come in Spike?"

His face drained of blood,  He new that the room must reek of his musk,  He was becoming a Teenage dragon after all and had been spanking off quite a bit lately,  his trashcan of crusty tissues was a testament to that.

Once again without thinking about what he was saying he responded "Um... Sure let me get the door."  Spike got out of his bed and slipped his members under the waist band of his pj pants hopping it wouldn't bee too noticeable.  Walking across the room Spike approached the door and opened it.  Here was Rarity wearing the same night gown that she had been wearing earlier, although an open robe accompanied it this time.  Spike quickly stomped out the frustration at the though that he couldn't ogle her tits."So how can I help Rarity?"  she pushed her way into his room and walked over to sit on the corner of his bed.  Part of the way there he though he saw her pause and as she walked buy he got a whiff of something he couldn't put his finger on but it certainly make the thought of his members go down leave his mind.  They stood resolutely at attention.  Rarity turned to him and asked

"Spike do you still think that I am attractive?"  Spike was floored by this question and quickly burst out

"Absolutely... Rarity you are the most Beautiful mare i have ever seen.  I though you knew that..."  Spike quickly changed from his normally shade of Purple and Green to several shades of red.  "Shit" he thought "guess that I am still a bit Tipsy".  Rarity smirked

"I had hoped as much, I wasn't sure... you seem to have been avoiding me lately."

Spike blushed a bit more and responded "Well I guess I have been spending less time around the boutique than I used to,  I mean with Twilight becoming the Princess of Friendship we have been busy, but I guess that I have been avoiding other ponies lately. "  This was not entirely true and Spike knew it.  He had been thinking of giving up on Rarity. They had been in Ponyvillie for over two years now and she had never given him any thought that she was interested in him as anything more than friend.

"Well I guess that is true.  But I have to tell you I have been missing my little Spikey Wikey"  Rarity pouted out her lower lip.  Spike took a sharp inhale of air and this and gripped the sides of his PJ's.  What was Rarity saying.  She stood up and came closer to him "Have you ever heard of the saying 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' Spike?"  Spike gulped at this and stood ramrod strait.

"It may have come up in one or two of the books that Twilight has had me read." Spike had broken into a sweat at this point.

"Well the reason that I bring this up Spike is that I know that you have had a bit of a Crush on me ever sense you and Twilight moved here.  And up to this point I have never done anything about it other than treat you as a friend.  I took the help and... well devotion that you offered me and didn't think twice about it."  she looked at him and took another step closer "Over the last couple of weeks while you have been gone I have been having Sweety Bell help around the shop doing the things that you normally take care of,  and I have to tell you that she complained non stop about everything that I asked her to do.  so for the last week I have been doing everything by myself and came to the realization that you do a lot for me and you have never once asked for anything in return.  At first I thought you may need some kind of compensation but upon further reflection I came to the realization that you do all this because you genuinely care a great deal for me."  Spike wasn't sure if he was imagining this but he could have sworn that she was blushing."And the more that I thought about it the more that I came to realize that I care a great deal about you as well.  To the point that I don't know what I would do without you." at this point Rarity was practically touching him.  She looked up into his eyes and leaned closer.  "Spike...I have realized that I love you"  At that point she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him down into kiss.  To start Spike wasn't sure what to do.  He was shocked.  The mare of his dreams was in his room, Wearing little more than underpants and she was kissing him.  After about five seconds of awkward kissing Rarity broke away from Spike his face still in a state of shock.  She began to tear up and turned away and started to head for the door "I'm sorry, *hic* I guess I waited too long...*hic*...I will... I will just leave"  she got all of three steps away before Spike snapped out of his stupor and garbed her arm and swung her around "Sp...Spike I am sorry I should have come to you sooner and just said something please don't hate me I" at this point Spike pressed his lips to Rarity's and she tensed for all of half a second before returning ht kiss.

Spike had never done anything like this and was just trying to figure it out buy copying things he had seen in movies.  His kiss grew more Urgent as they stumbled across the room Rarity squeaked as the back of her knees hit the edge of the bed and they fell back. Spike pulled away from the kiss and looked down at the mare beneath him. That same sent hitting his nose again.

Thinking to himself "why does that smell feel so familiar?"

Rarity looked up at him and smirked "I guess that I wasn't too late.  although it Took me getting drunk during my estrus cycle before I got the courage to tell you"

Spike felt like a live wire had just hit his mind.  'Estrus Cycle!!!!!'  that  was what that sent was.  Spike remembered the time he had walked in on Twilight with her toy the year before last. She made him swear to never tell anypony about what he had seen.  And now here was Rarity, his dream mare lying between his legs underneath him, in his room, on his bed, wearing effectively nothing.  right in the middle of her heat cycle.  This last though turned out to have been too much for him and his previously contained members Escaped his waistband and popped out to say hello. The movement must have caught Rarity's eye because she looked down right as they burst forth.  Her eyes Dilated upon seeing the double shaft.

"Oh my...I hadn't realized that Dragons had.....um.....Two."

Spike blushed and looked down at Rarity "Um yea... This is a little embarrass..." the words died in his thought  and Rarity looked back up at him and licked her lips.

"We are going to have a lot of fun tonight aren't we.  My little.....My Big Spikey Wikey" Rarity pushed up on Spike and had him turn until she was sitting on his stomach, his members poking Rarity's Wonderful ass.

The rest of the night had passed in a blur of Sex.  Spike still couldn't believe his luck.  Rarity snapped her finger under his nose and he was brought back to the present.

"Spike I can only imagine what it is that is going through you head right now but you are drooling and and while I appreciate the enthusiasm you are about to poke out of you pants and we are still outside."  Rarity took spikes hand and lead him into the Boutique and while closing the door behind them she locked the door and flipped the sign with the subtle glow of her magic.  She led Spike over to the chairs in front of the changing stalls and had him sit down.

"Now be a good little dragon and wait here while I change into something a little more comfortable."  She grabbed a box off of a Shelf.  One that Spike took notice of being quite small, and slipped into the changing room.

Contemplation

She felt as if her eyes were going to fall out of here head with how wide they were are that point.  What in the world was 'Man' and why had she never heard of them before? How in all of her exhaustive research had she missed something as important as this?

Celestia smiled as she looked down at her one time pupil remembering all the years of teaching the little filly.  Her never ending questions and bright eyes, always filled with wonder. "At this point Twilight I can imagine that you are filled to bursting with questions about what I have just reviled to you.  Very few ponies know about this and half of those that do are in this room."

Luna, whom up to this point had been silent spoke up "Yes sister," her gaze fell upon Twilight "The truths that we share with you over the next few days are closely guarded secrets,  the likes of such have only been shared with Five living beings.  I myself was not around for the earliest part, but I know that my sister will tell the truth of the time."

Twilight could hardly believe what she was hearing, there was a time eons ago when the world was not ruled by ponies. and only 6 ponies know about it in all of existence,  and now she was about to become the 7th as long as you didn't count Discord.  At this point she was sure that she now fully understood Pikie's favorite term of nervouscited.

Celestia looked at her and waited for what she knew would come next, The barrage of questions.  Twilight had however learned more patience that the last time that Celestia had given her an intellectual lecture. and as such the questions did not come.  Celestia smiled "My dear Twilight you need not hold yourself back from asking the questions that I know that you are so desperate to ask, One of the reasons that I asked you to come to Canterlot so soon is because I had anticipated going over the full matter of the information that I am going to give you,  our Visitors will not be here for Three days time.  This should give us adequate time to cover the basics of what I am going to share with you.  Your thirst for knowledge is one of the Major reasons that I chose you as my Faithful student."

Twilight blushed and asked"Well I guess to start what is a Man?"  Celestia closed the curtains and darkened the throne room while casing a conjuration to bring a Projector screen in as well.  Twilight marveled at how smoothly Celestia cast the spells and her skill level of magic.  Celestia projected an image of a Bipedal being onto the screen.  Twilight looked at it an instantly thought of some kind of ape.  At least it kind of looked like an Ape.

"This Twilight, is a man,  at least a very generalized version.  This is the male version as is quite obvious by the... um lower bits,  and this, is the female version" a second form appeared on the screen.  Twilight was struck to see how similar the images were to the ponies that roamed around Equestria now, and pointed this out.  Celestia smiled and explained "That is a very astute observation.  Yes the 'Humans' as they called themselves were very close to how we appear today.  you will notice that they do have some major differences mainly in the facial structure as well as the for the males in the reproductive organ.  they also lack tails. As well as the fact that they all looked similar to this,  none of them had horns or wings.  they could not use magic.  although many of them pretended to use it.  It is believed that at one point they could, to some degree use the arcane arts but lost the ability with time." Glancing over Celestia could tell that Twilight was taking in everything like a sponge.

"Now humans ruled over the world for several thousand years.  They made huge advances in Science, they had even discovered a way to halt death.  Short of being murdered,  and they were close to leaving this planet and going out to colonize other worlds.  For Humans time was measured in Ages, Such as the Stone age, the Bronze age, the Iron Age, The Dark Ages, and so on.  Every chapter of the history of humans was measured as such.  However even though the Humans were immensely powerful. they also were heavily driven by Greed and self gratification.  War, Famine, Slavery, Cruelty and all manner of horrors were committed by the beings know as man.  They fought and killed one another by the millions over practically anything.  Food, Pride, Love, Hatred, land, Personal Believes.  The list goes on.  only in the humans last days had they banded together to create, and work to preserve life. They only did this due to the destruction that they had caused.

Luna added at this point "They had ruined the planet,  It could barely sustain the most basic of life,  And for the humans they were forced to create the technologies that kept them alive.  They had place all of their remaining populations in Great domed cities that kept them separated from the deadly conditions that they had left the outside world in.

Celestia nodded and continued "Yes,  they only banded together in the end times.  But in doing so they had successfully saved their people.  The race as a whole would have survived... that is, until something happened."  Celestia and Luna locked eyes and looked down at Twilight.  "Lux and Nyx, after eons of observing man,  as a sentient life form, discovered emotions."

Twilight looked back at Celestia and Luna and quietly asked. "What happened next?

A grimace spread across Celestia's face as she responded. "Lux and Nyx fell in love... and with that they also came to know all other emotions that mortals know.  Beyond Love they learned, Hate, Lust, Happiness, Sadness, Rage, as well as every other emotion it is possible to know.  After countless eons of time, The creators of all learned the one thing that they had never known before.  And with there love they came together to create life that was made entirely from them.  Something that was a part of them, yet at the same time separate from them as well.

Thoughts and guesses raced through Twilight's mind as she contemplated what it could possibly have been that they had created.  Had it been some kind of new god,  was it a monster, could it have been something that had destroyed the old world.  Twilight looked back toward Celestia and asked "what was it that they created?"

"Now Twilight I am a little hurt that you didn't realize what it was they created,  I would have thought you of all ponies would have been able to figure it out."

Twilight's heart fell at the thought of her teacher having been disappointed in her.   she lowered her head to stare at the ground.

"Dear sister, do not let the poor girl suffer and just tell her.  After all you were her Teacher, and you are now teaching her a new subject, she can't be expected to know everything with out at least being told the answer at least once."

Celestia laughed and responded "I know Luna but every now and then she makes the cutest face when she thinks that I was disappointed even though she should know at this point I was just teasing."  she stepped forward and lifted Twilight's head to look her in the eyes "The product of the love that blossomed between Lux and Nyx stands before you now."

Twilight's Jaw dropped as this bombshell was dropped.  Celestia, her Teacher, The ruler over all of Equestria,  The one pony that knew almost every secrete that she had ever had.  Was the Daughter of the gods that had created... well everything. "Oh... well that is... um.... neat."
