Previous ChapterNext ChapterPrologue: Of Friendship and Faith
How far will you go out of faith?
Someone once asked me that question. And now I'm asking you.
How far will a pony go to protect the ones they love? To struggle against the darkness and fight the good fight? How far will a pony go to be a hero? Trust me when I tell you that the cycle of such things has long come and gone. Ponies are just ponies. We always have been. We're all united by the choice to make our mark on the world, in one way or another. And that's what defines us in the end.
Is that what you were trying to teach me, Littlepip?
If you are to understand my current situation, and how I got here, you need to start at the beginning. Before I lost so much of myself. It all began in a little town, with little ponies, doing their little, everyday things with their little, everyday lives. My story starts here, and it is here that you must choose to listen. The events that have transpired are my lineage, my mark on the world... my legacy.
But before I begin, I should tell you a thing or two about friendship.
Well, it's a nifty little idea, to be sure. It's got its ups and downs, and it packs a bigger wallop than a shotgun when it backfires. It's flexible, too. Comes in all shapes and sizes. Some friendships are loose and detached, while others are as tightly knit as kevlar. Some may be a bit of both, and some are neither. Friendship can be dysfunctional, it can be distrusting and even cruel. But above all else, it keeps the world together, keeps ponies sane. Even when it doesn't seem possible, it can still pull through so long as everybody involved is willing to work it out. Because no matter what, friends find a way.
But what is friendship in the face of the "right" choice? What if it's more? What happens when you're put between choosing your family or your friends? Are you a monster for choosing the latter? A saint? What is it about friendship that makes it so special?
It all comes down to one simple question: how far will you go out of faith?
It's my job to end this tale that she started. But all you need to know right now is that I'm a survivor of this world, and I have a story. My name is Everdawn. Pleased to meet you. This is my legacy.
