Prologue: World of Everfree.

Prologue: The World of Everfree.

What’s it like to see the world burn and grow? What is it like to see powerful beings stripped of their power and cast down from upon high.

What’s it like to see a tyrant rule, and society go mad?

It all started when Discord discovered an artifact. This particular artifact was ancient, it was just as old as Celestia was. However, within it, was a force that none had ever experienced, or seen, or could imagine.

It quickly took control of him, reducing him into primal madness. As he hit rock bottom, he unleashed the ancient evil from the artifact, allowing the deity to possess him. The deity then decided to let all of Tartarus break loose.

The Tree of Harmony was shattered, the Mane Six were imprisoned, their own souls used to power the ever expanding Everfree.

Society fell into complete anarchy in the couple weeks that followed. Many were killed, mentally unstable ponies killed and destroyed on a whim, those that couldn’t fight fled… where the Everfree swallowed them whole, never to be seen again.

The Everfree grew and spread. In two days, the Badlands and the desserts were overgrown with vegetation, the Crystal Empire was overtaken as well, and Candace and Shining Armor were forced to go into hiding.  From sea to sea, all of it was swallowed by the Everfree

The pegasi took to the skies, living over the Everfree, not caring about those down below as they focused on saving themselves. The unicorns that weren't dead or didn’t vanish into the Everfree were deprived of their horns, and slaughtered. Those ponies that dwelled on the ground were scattered, lost and terrified, with small communities popping up here and there. Some lasted, some fell to the wrath of the Everfree. Some attempted to live along the coast in small communities or bands. They have either turned evil, or they have tried to navigate the sea beyond, and forcefully take over any island they can set their hooves on. They ended up being killed.

Discord is now a puppet of the deity of the Everfree, and serves it blindly. Celestia, and her sister, Luna, were not spared by the deity of the Everfree. Through Discord, they were cast down from their immortal thrones, and were changed into earth ponies. Celestia dissapeared soon after, rumors speak of her journey to the undiscovered west for reasons unknown. Luna is still lost within the Everfree, near what used to be Baltimare, trying to get to the coast.

And it is within the Everfree,  Luna’s  journey begins.
