Harmony Knights

Long ago, when Equestria was still young a darkness shadowed our world. Creatures of black magic killed all who they cross paths with. In retaliation seven warriors rose up to combat those creatures these warriors possessed a power no one has seen before nor since. Though their names were never recorded in the history books but they are remembered by the deeds they have done.

The knight who was dubbed the Warrior of Loyalty with the winds at his command slayed the great leviathan of the west sea. The great leviathan was a creature who destroyed all of the coastal villages and so the Warrior of loyalty took his pirate ship the S.S. Pegasopolis manned by his hearty crew he hunted the creature for six grueling months. Then when his crew was near their breaking point the Leviathan emerged completely out of the water in that split second the Warrior drew his blade and used his command of the wind to cleave the beast in two.

The next Knight who was called the Honest Warrior was a great swordsman who wielded tremendous strength and honor. Her feat is considered to be one of greatest of all the knights she hunted down a dragon emperor as big as a mountain side by herself. She hunted the beast down across all of Equestria until they finally clashed atop Canter mountain. As they fought the sky grew dark as their blows generated a lot of magical energy. They clashed for eight days until finally the Honest Warrior emerged victoriously with the dragon’s lower jaw as a trophy.

The third was simply known as the Lady of Kindness. She was a kind druid who used her talents and knowledge to care for the sick and cure multiple diseases cross Equestria but is know to be the greatest marksman in history. Her most impressive feat was when she took down a rampaging minotaur with a single arrow using a special bow that could not be wielded by the malcontent.

The fourth, known as the Mage of Generosity who wielded the great earth beneath our feet. It is believed that the Torr Mountain range in western Equestria was formed by this legendary mage. It is also speculated by scholars that this great mage was from the lost kingdom of Unicornia.

The fifth, simply referred as the Hero of Laughter known for his goofy nature as well as his seemingly impossible feats. His greatest feat was when he slayed the Northern Chimera with his bare hands. The Chimera has defeated several warrior who sought the great beast out so when the Hero of Laughter challenged the beast everyone expected it to be his end but when he returned with the creature's pelt they were surprised.

The sixth, who called himself Starswirl the Bearded and was dubbed the warrior of magic by the locals. He has many impressive feats in the magic field creating several spells still used today, but his most noteworthy feat is when he slayed the demon Zaika. The demon is known for attacking several villages as well as controlling others to kill everyone they love.

The last knight is the most mysterious of the seven she is know simply as the last Harmony Knight for she was the last one to die and is the only known person who killed a dark Deity. The same Deity that killed the other six knights without trying and would’ve killed her too if the spirits of the other knights came to her. It was this moment that the Last Harmony Knight used a great spell using the power of the knights of Loyalty, Honesty, kindness, generosity, laughter and Magic that completely vanquished the Dark Deity.

After the battle the last knight made her way toward the castle of the two young princesses. There she reported her mission a success and that she was dying from her many wounds. After her passing she was buried under the castle along with the other knights as the years go by the Tree of Harmony grew from the very spot where the knights were buried. It is believed that the elements and the tree represents the Harmony Knights who fought and died for all of Equestria.

There is a legend that states when Equestria is in need the knights will return to save it once more.

The celestial sisters Part 1 Ascention

No chronicle of legends is complete without a tale of the two goddesses who protect our world Celestia and Luna. This story takes place long ago before they were goddesses in the time long since forgotten.

Long ago after the Harmony Knights fought and died for Equestria two sisters were born the eldest Celestia was a tall fair skinned girl with long pink hair that reach her hips and beautiful amethyst eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. The younger Luna was smaller than her sister but possessed similar beauty with pale skin short cyan blue hair that rested on her shoulders and deep ocean blue  eyes that twinkled like the stars in the night sky.

Over the years the two sisters ruled over Equestria with kindness and compassion the sisters were beloved by all, then Discord showed up a creature of pure chaos he plunged Equestria into a state of eternal chaos. With this new threat the princesses took up arms and challenge the creature but he quickly defeated them and banished them to the Everfree Forest it was here the sisters stumbled across the site of the Tree of Harmony that they heard about from stories told to them by their mother.

But when they touched the Tree of Harmony it sent them into a separate dimension where they came face to face with a young girl whose eyes shone like embers in a fire, and hair that waved with magic. when she spoke it was like honey for the ears she introduced herself simply as the Guardian and she called them there to give them the means to stop Discord but It came with it a price they will take over the position of guardians of Equestria and they will never be allowed to go back to their former lives. The sisters agreed to the terms they will do anything to save their people.

So with the power of the Guardian they confronted Discord effectively turning him to stone. After the deed was done the princesses were taken from our world and became the goddesses they are now. They both took dominion over the two different times of the day, Day and Night, But this is not the end of their tale there are many legends of the Celestial Sisters that will come in time.
