The Alicorn

The rolling hills of Unicorn Range, most ponies only dream of being here, with the Smokey Mountains to the south and Galloping Gorge northern, it’s a sight that would be fit for royalty. Yet I, Crimson Dawn, see these wonders every day in the quiet town of Fonda. I had a bright orange coat paired with a vivid red mane. My cutie mark was a red rhombus, no one knows what it means...

In the heat of the sun, hauling a cart full of wood, my friend, Turbulent Storm swooped down from the sky. He was a silvery Pegasus with a lightning blue mane and a thunder cloud for a cutie mark.

“How’s the day going Crimson?” he asked enthusiastically .

“Good, but The Ruins are still bothering me.” I responded solemnly, looking to the west.

“They’ve been untouched for thousands of moons, their nothing more than a bunch of crumpled buildings and lousy castle.” he said uninterested.

“But that’s the problem, it couldn’t just of been an ordinary settlement. No pony justs builds a town up on the face of a mountain!” I cried.

“You do have a good point, but all of that is beyond our understanding. No pony knows what Equestria was before Fonda was founded.” he replied. Turbulent was right, all we know is that some ponies from around Equestria came together and built a town for all, Earth Ponies, Pegasi, and Unicorns alike. But the founders went missing about forty moons ago, no pony knows how, or where. The only thing that is certain about these mysterious ponies is that there was six of them, two Earth Ponies, two Pegasi, a Unicorn, yet none of us know what or who the seventh one was.

Turbulent broke the silence, “Well, we better get back to work. We don’t need to worry about the Ruins at the moment.”

“Okay I’ll see you at the end of the shift.” I said solemnly.
