Everything was created for a reason, be it simple or massive.
We mortal beings always wanted to know our reasons of existence, be it simple or massive.
So we mortal beings create theories, ideas, philosophies and for some, religions.
Of course we mortals known as Ponies do not have religions, though the idea is a good one, it can also bring bad things in good ideas. Thus we mainly focus on theories, ideas and philosophies.
But yet, we use to this day abilities that we believe were created by immortal beings.
Those abilities have traces of being created, not born out of nothing.
Thus, something or rather someone created those abilities that are beyond our understanding.
Early records tells us that the abilities to cast magic, controlling weathers and in others, to become immortals were created by The Three.
The Three earliest beings.
The Three immortal beings.
The Three Gods.
Now, much knowledge of the Three Gods are unknown, only small yet detailed stories on these deities are told around campfires, at bedtimes and for us, as theories and philosophies on if these Three Gods are true as the stories tells.
Their names are simple yet strange, if these were deities, why didn't they have interesting names? Surly these three would of, right?
But alas, their names are known as;
Magic, Chaos and strangest of all, Man.
Our world as we know it, was a world without life.
There was no water, the sky was brown with no clouds and the ground had no green grass or beautiful flowers or healthy trees.
To say our world was a bunch of badlands, is an understatement.
But we don't live in that world.
No my friend, we live in The Three Gods' world.
Magic -whose beauty was unmatched by the other two Gods- took pity on this poor little world and decided to give the world life. She calmed the air, coloured the skies and with her own tears, made our oceans.
Chaos -Whose sense of humour was unrivalled by the other two Gods- took interest in Magic's creation of our world and decided to join its creation with his our creation. He created awful earthquakes to raise our mountains, extreme thunderstorms to break continents apart and with his own funny humour, gave materials like iron deep underground for us to dig up.
But then came Man-Whose mind was far different than the other two Gods- just watched Magic and Chaos creating our world and wondered if he should join in its creation. But he didn't, instead he was on our world, watching mountains raising, the skies colouring up and lands splitting apart from each other. The other Gods was confused why Man just watched the creation take fold and seeing what our world like the day we know ourselves would look like.
At the end of creation, where our world's oceans and continents are today, the Three Gods watched the planet from above. Magic and Chaos was happy with their creation, but Man made an interesting offer.
"Why don't we give this world a gift from all of us?" Man asked his fellow deities. "A symbol to the mortals who will been born here and to know that we were here to give them this world, our world"
Magic and Chaos liked Man's idea and agreed to it. All of them will give a gift to our world for us, knowing that their work was not forgotten. Magic was the first to send her gift.
"Dear world and the mortals that'll live on said world" Magic whispered softly and gently like a mother would say. "I give to you a race of pure magic, a race that'll live with you and to rule over you with kindness and love without needing to fear for tyranny and evil harming your children's children. This is my gift to you"
After Magic said those words. Out from the heaven came the first Alicorns, the ones we know to this day. Their magic came from Magic herself, showing us that in this race, Magic was once here.
Magic moved away from our world to let Chaos give his gift to us.
"Dear world and the mortals that'll live on said world" Chaos said with a witty voice in his throat. "I give to you a race of pure chaos, a race that'll bend reality and science to their own sense of humour. That'll give you laughter and also in their actions will teach what order looks like without them as well, a symbol I rarely like at all. This is my gift to you"
After Chaos said those words. Out from a purple cloud of candy came the first Draconequuses, the ones we really know to this day. Their sense of humour came from Chaos himself, showing us that in this race, Chaos was once here.
Chaos moved away from our world to let Man give his gift to us... But before he did that, Man managed to trick the other two Gods by saying he hasn't created anything on our world, and because he didn't create anything, his gift wouldn't work. Magic and Chaos allowed Man to create something before giving his gift to us.
This was Man's plan all along. He didn't created anything on our world because he needed to see our world, where everything is, how things were and what history would take place on our world. And thus, he created an underground dungeon known as Tartarus and with Tartarus, he created hellish monsters, the like of which many wouldn't want to see. He corrupted a handful of Alicorns, changing them into the monsters we know as Changelings. Once Man's creations were completed, he opened the Gates of Tartarus and let those monsters organised into a Legion. But before Man opened the gates, he tricked the Alicorns and Draconequuses by removing their leaders and putting the blame on each other. The Alicorns and Draconequuses.... Went to war.
Magic and Chaos watched in disgust and horror, their created races were fighting each other and Man's creations were getting stronger by the minutes. But the worse part was that this was Man's creation, not his gift. The two Gods trembled from the thought of what Man's gift would be.
"Why are you doing this?!" Magic asked, tears rolling down her face from the carnage, seeing her and Chaos's races fighting each other. "What could possibly be good about your creations?! And this dreadful war you've created upon mine and Chaos's races?!"
But Man didn't look at Magic. Instead he pointed down at our world, where his monstrous Legion were heading towards two cities. One Alicorn and the other Draconequus. And said:
"Look"
The two other Gods looked at where Man was pointing and saw what he saw.
What the Three Gods saw was Man's monstrous Legion attacking the two cities with fury and without mercy. The Alicorns took out some of the monsters while others were immune to their magic. Whilst the Draconequuses took out some of the other monsters while like the Alicorns couldn't take out the others. The two immortal races had to flee their cities whilst the Legion devoured and destroyed their cities.
Chaos looked at Man. "What's the meaning of this horror, Man?!" Chaos bellowed at Man. "Death? War? This world doesn't need this, Man!"
But Man didn't look at Chaos. Instead he once again, pointed to our world, where Alicorns and Draconequuses were gathering together. And said:
"Look"
The two other Gods looked at where Man was pointing and saw what he saw.
They saw the Alicorns and Draconequuses talking together, explaining what happened to their cities. They found out that their powers destroyed some of the monsters in the Legion, but together, they could defeat all of them. They were once enemies, the Alicorns and Draconequuses, but now they had a common enemy. They pushed aside their differences and hatreds, and banded together to fight the Legion and put an end to this horror. The two other Gods' eyes widened in disbelief and wonder. Their races were fighting....Together. They formed bonds of friendships, brotherhood and even love. They pushed and pushed the monstrous Legion back into where they were born from; The Pits of Tartarus. Once they were in, both Alicorns and Draconequuses used parts of their magic to seal the gates forever and puts the mighty hound; Cerberus, another creation of Man in charge of keeping those monsters trapped in their prisons. After the fight, Alicorns and Draconequuses sung, danced, cheered and celebrated...Together. Before Man made the two fight each other, they didn't really chat to one another, didn't want to be friends, wanted to be lovers and wanted everlasting peace. And after Man's monstrous Legion was pushed back into Tartarus, Magic and Chaos's races were more closer than ever before.
Man turned to face Magic. "To have a kind and loving ruler is one many mortals wants to have. But that ruler needed to know and see the horror of tyranny and evil to ever achieve that kindness and love. For without evil, there cannot be good"
Man turned to face Chaos. "Having chaos is not evil nor good. It is change, an important tool for this world to need. But your race needed to know where the line is from good chaos to a cataclysmic one. Now they won't ever harm a mortal nor destroy their well beings because they have seen what that looked like and know how it felt"
Then Man turned to face our world and gave his gift.
"Dear world and the mortals that'll live on said world" Man said with a proud and friendly tone in his voice. "I give to you not a race, but a future. If one is true, noble, kind and honourable, will have a beautiful life and all the luxury of this world. If one faces evil and fights for the greater good of mortal lives, will be immortalise in history, songs and the people they helped. For if one remembers your deeds, you will never die and that is the true meaning of immortality. Not living forever, but remembered forever. This is my gift to you"
After Man said those words. A sense of peace and prosperity the like of which has never felt before on our world, blossomed throughout that day and forever more. And for those who stand to keep evil at bay, stopping horrors like the monstrous Legion trapped in Tartarus. Will know that Man was once here.
And thus our world was created. And that the gifts the Three Gods gave to us, are still with us to this day.
Magic gave us the ability to use magic and having a wonderful life.
Chaos gave us the ability to uphold order and to change forever.
Man gave us the ability to be understanding that we need evil so that we can fight for the good to keep the other gifts.
These are the gifts of the Three Gods of Magic, Chaos and Man.
