The Land Unspoken

The Land Unspoken

A fanfiction by spamakaze

...

Imagine a beginning. A real beginning.

Many things seem to be beginnings. The curtain goes up, the first pawn moves, the first shot is fired, but those things aren’t truly the start. The play, the game, the war, they’re all just scenes in the grand story that is life; played out against the canvas of the universe. There is always a prologue, always something that came before.

This story concerns the magical world of Equestria, a land of great wonder and joy.

It concerns the tale of a great evil that brought this world to its knees, and the heroes who fought and died to defend it. It concerns love and friendship, strength and courage.

It concerns the Elements of Harmony.

Long ago, before civilisation as it is known today developed, a mysterious event occurred. There is a long standing philosophical debate that if a tree falls in a forest yet none are there to hear it; did it, truly, happen?

So if a catastrophe occurs to shatter the boundaries between worlds, but nopony was yet alive to witness it, did it actually happen?

And if it were to heal, over millennia, until no trace remains, does it matter?

It does matter.

Because scars never truly heal.
