Episode Zero: The Visionary
A long time ago, there existed two rulers of a land called Equestria, one who raised the sun, and began the day, and one who raised the moon to begin the night. The two sisters ruled together in harmony, for both them, and their subjects, however the youngest sister began to feel resentment, for her subjects would frolic and play in the light of day, and hide away and sleep in the darkness of night.
Her resentment grew and grew, until she refused to lower the moon to bring forth a new dawn. The Eldest sister had no choice but confront her, and try to reason with her,but her jealousy and hatred had transformed her into a creature of darkness,"Nightmare Moon".
This new evil had vowed to blanket the land of Equestria in an eternal night. The Eldest Sister had no choice but to use the most powerful magic in all of Equestria to combat her, The Elements of Harmony.
Using this magic; the two great powers did battle, but Nightmare Moon proved too powerful, and it seemed she would be victorious, but suddenly, a stranger, clothed in red and black garbs, and carrying a sword of pure light intervened, and challenged Nightmare Moon to a duel.
The eldest sister begged the stranger not to fight, but the stranger was undeterred, and engaged Nightmare Moon in combat.
Working together with the stranger, the eldest sister, using the power of The Elements of Harmony, managed to seal away her cursed sister into the very moon she swore to look after.
The battle was won, but at a terrible cost, as the stranger was gravely injured, and had passed away moments after.
Saddened and moved by the strangers selfless actions the eldest sister-
"Erected this statue in honor of his deeds." a mulberry earth pony said."Which now stands for courage , valiance, and how anypony can stand up, and do what's right. Does anypony have any questions?"
"Oh, I have a question Ms. Cheerilee!" a young Alabaster unicorn said enthusiastically raising her hand.
"Yes Sweetie Belle, what's your question?" Cheerilee asked.
"Um, In history, did the stranger go by any other names?", Sweetie Belle asked curiously.
"As a matter of fact Sweetie Belle he did." Cheerilee replied, "In recent history Princess Celestia had stated that the stranger she had worked with, was so nimble and quick , she swore it was like he could see the future and predict Nightmare Moon's attacks, thus earning him the name, The Visionary. Now does anypony have anymore questions?"
"Whatever happened to the The Visionary's sword?", a young dark pink haired Pegasus filly asked.
"Excellent question Scootaloo." Said Cheerilee, "Nopony knows what happened to the sword after the battle. Some say it disappeared when he passed away, others say Princess Celestia kept it in her personal treasures, so that it wouldn't fall into the wrong hands, others say it was lost to time, either way a statue of the sword was made alongside The Visionary over there."
Cheerilee then pointed to the statue of the sword in question. It was 4x8 stone sword with strange lines going through it, and large ring near the hilt of the blade, the grip also had a rounded circle at the end of the shaft.
(Imagine this, but made of stone.)
"Why's it look so...weird?",a blonde earth pony with a large pink bow asked with a southern accent.
"Your face is weird, blank flank", a pink earth pony interrupted.
"You take that back you big jerk!", the blonde earth pony demanded angrily.
"Make me blank flank." She retorted with a smug grin.
A fight soon broke out, and the two children were grabbing, and pulling each others hair. The pink earth pony then grabbed her opponents pink bow and yanked it out of her hair, she then backed away and dangled the bow in the air triumphantly. The cream colored earth pony tried to retrieve the bow, but as she tried to grab it, the light pink filly pulled it away from her hands as she tried to grab it.
"Ha, I got your stupid bow, blank flank." The filly said mockingly.
"Give it back or I'll knock you into next week!" The young angry filly screamed.
"Come and get it then blank flank, unless your scared." The light pink filly teased.
"I'll show you!" The blonde filly screamed, as she once again attacked her, only to be pulled by Cheerilee.
"Diamond Tiara, Applebloom, that's enough!", Cheerilee said sternly as she separated them."The purpose of this field trip is to educate you on courage and valiance, not brashness and unnecessary violence, now Diamond Tiara, apologize to Applebloom, and give her back her ribbon."
Diamond Tiara frowned as she begrudgingly returned Applebloom's ribbon."Sorry", she said angrily as Applebloom stuck her tongue out at her.
"Now Applebloom you apologize to Diamond Tiara.", said Cheerilee.
"Why do I have to apologize, she started it!", Applebloom whined.
"It doesn't matter who started it," Cheerilee replied, "Your still in trouble for fighting in the first place, now go and apologize to her now young lady."
"Yes Ms. Cheerilee", Applebloom said sadly, as she turned to face Diamond Tiara."I'm sorry if I hurt you."
"Good", Cheerilee said happily. "Now my little ponies, with that behind us, we can continue on with the field trip, and don't forget, Hearths Warming Day is coming up, so you better be good, or else Santa Hooves won't give any presents. Now if look over hereyou can findthe recently recovered statue of discord."
Cheerilee's voice faded away, as she and her students moved to a different location, leaving the statue all alone.
"Okay she's gone now."A strange disembodied said."Thank god, I don't think I could've taken another second of that monotonous bullcrap any longer, hell most the stuff she said wasn't even true, the kids were a riot though, I swear if they fought for a second longer, I would've laughed my ass off heh, honestly I'm not sure if anyone would hear me, and I'm just talking to myself again." The voice sighed in frustration,"This whole thousand year sleep is making me nuts, why'd I agree to this again?"
"You cannot keep me in this prison forever." A new voice said."I will escape, and I will become this new worlds only god, so enjoy what time these creatures have, for when I escape I will have my vengeance against Celestia for sealing me away for one thousand years, and I-
"Will you just shut up please?" The first voice interrupted."Dammit now I remember why I did this, I swear if wasn't for you , I wouldn't be driven to the point of insanity as much I have been."
"Honestly I think the madness would be a much better lifestyle for you.", A third voice spoke up.
"Zip it Discord!", the first voice grunted in frustration,"Okay all I have to do is wait until this years Hearths Warming, then the seal will be broken, just like Celestia said, then all I have to do is find the new Element bearers, convince them to use them on me, and then I can finally be rid of this freaking nightmare."
"You realize that if I die, not only will you lose my sword, you will die with me.",the second voice warned.
"It'll be worth it to finally get rid of you." The first voice retorted. "Who knows, I might actually survive this little ordeal."
You can hope Thomas.", the second voice said darkly." You can hope."
"That's all I need to have Zanza." said Thomas.
