Mare Cognitum

"Who turned on the lights?!" Streak yelled, waving her hooves around frantically.

"She'll experience heightened visual perception for a while," Twilight explained. "Everything will appear about six thousand times brighter."

Everything around Streak seemed to radiate pure light. When it all burned out, and she looked around, all the ponies had changed colors. "Gah! And since when did you guys dye your manes?"

"Hey! I'll let you know my mane is perfectly natural. It may be this fabulous, but I assure you it is bona fide."

"And the horn! Where did you- and why does she have wings?"

"So I can stroke them... hehe..."

"And why does she have three oranges emblazoned on her flanks?"

"They're apples dammit!"

"Well Streak, there's quite a lot that you'll have to learn," Twilight started. "But, we don't have time for that. Here is a substandard manual on Equine physiology." Twilight levitated a book over to Streak.

"Uhm, Twi," Fluttershy said quietly. "Not to interrupt, but, uhm, isn't that a foals' book?"

"Just go with it."

Streak managed to pick up the book with some difficulty, and set it on the table.

HORSES AND WHAT THEY DO

"We ponies are very different! You may have noticed every pony you meet has a different mane, coat, and body! There are four types of known ponies: Earth Ponies, Pegasi, Unicorns, and Alicorns."

Under the large, all capital letter text was a shoddy, simple drawing of the four listed ponies. Twilight turned the thick, cardboard page for Streak.

"Earth ponies are the outcasts of the group! They have no talents whatsoever, cannot fly, or cast magic. They do all the slave, domestic work for the Pegasi and the Unicorns."

Somewhere, up in Pony Heaven, a stallion had the sudden unbearable urge to shout "Racist!" and ruined the game of etheral croquet he was playing.

"Pegasi are the flying ponies of the group! They are able to fly using their wings. They also do domestic labor for the Unicorns. They control weather, and are able to sit on clouds. But they aren't special, as unicorns can do that too!"

Whump! He missed another swing.

"Unicorns are the highest ranking ponies of all of them. They have horns, which allow them to cast magic. They do no domestic labour whatsoever and are not benevolent in any way. They have the money, the land, and the government."

This time, the stallion felt no need to interject, and saw no problems whatsoever.

"Alicorns are the most powerful ponies of all. They have a Pegasuseses wings, a Unicorn's horn, and nothing from Earth ponies cause they suck. The only known Alicorn in existence is Princess Celestia, who rules all of us and is definitely not a nymphomanic troll tyrant. Nope. Nosiree."

And there, the book ended abruptly.

"Erm... that was very... interesting..."

Author note: Sorry guys! Have to cut this short, as I'm leaving to do research. Starting Sunday, July 22nd, I'll be gone for three weeks. I'll come back on the 10th of August. Don't worry guys, I'll have PLENTY of time to think up ideas there, and I'm bringing a massive notebook to write them down in. Also, I'll have a new story to submit when I get back... *cough cough*. Almost done with that one.

Here's a little hint, may help you figure out what its about... But again, I only have five ponies reading this, so yeah, very unlikely any of you will get it XD. Even if you DO know what it is, its very unlikely you'll figure out what it means.

Anyways, the two pictures.

Second one is cut off, as full one would be too easy to get. Anyways, try to find the connection...

If you think you have the answer, post it in the comments.
