There once was a clever animal.

Between the uncountable star systems and light years separating them, it found itself in Equestria. The trees grew old as spring came, their leaves continued to fall around Equestria, the hummings of joy and festivities echoed between unconquerable mountains coming from the Gryphonian capital, while a grave maddening silence overtook the lands of the dragons like it did for eons at end. Nothing changed, and nobody was there to greet the wandering beast. The clever animal found himself directionless, stripped of his experiences, left with only shells and fragments of agonies to torment himself and others.

That clever animal was man.
