Snow And Sand: A World In Two Shrouds

by Jackelope
A father and his son travel into the hazardous wastes of the North for an unknown purpose. In a world split in two, light and dark, of sand and snow, and of suffering and anguish. Will they accomplish what they set out to do? Or perish in the sands?

The histories tell of an age long ago, when two sisters, one to each orb in the sky ruled over the land. The Na and Tia revolved around each other, lighting both North and South with their brilliant light. The heat in the North was not scorching, and the South was not a frozen wasteland. Then, for a reason long lost to time and crumbled from the pages of the history books, they disappeared. Their relics, the Na and Tia, remain hanging still in the sky. Forever.

A millennium passed since their age ended, and in its place, fresh anew an age of light and of the dark. The age of unending twilight.

Since we could interpret the prompt as anything we wanted, I opted for this prompt to be applied to the entirety of society in Equestria I.E. Due to a horrendous event, society had to begin again. Eh? Eh?
