I am tom
Eternal
Powerful
Absolute
I am tom
When the world was made I was there. I watched as the first alicorn laid the foundations of the earth.
I watched as the stars glared to life.
I watched as the darkness gave way to the first dawn.
I am tom.
All of history behind me and eternity before.
I watched as the animals rose
I watched the ponies, the griffins, the zebras, and the dragons as they all raised empires
I watched as those empires fall
I am tom.
I am eternal
Stronger than the world's foundation.
I feel it turn beneath me as the stars winked in and out.
Ages passed yet I endured
Days, Months, Years, Decades, Centuries, Millennia
They all passed
With time a few of the ponies came to be, who could hear my voice
My power.
The unicorns I bond to the magic of the world
The Pegasi to the sky
All that was left was the Earth ponies,
so I gave them a part of my strength
With time, they raised an obelisk and placed me inside.
They would come and ask questions
foolish questions
With time I grew irritated
only those I wished should see me
So I commanded they make my maze
I would only let a few find my stone pillar
Only those with true understanding of beauty
In time I became legend
legend became myth
and with the rise of discord I passed from all knowledge
I felt the chaos he wrote
and I grew angry
So with my power I called a unicorn mare and Pegasus stallion before me
They knew not who I was but that did not matter
for In them I felt the conditions to bring forth new alicorn
like the ones from long ago
from the beginning
When I touched their mind there was no question
within the natural time an alicorn was born
I named her Celestia
And in but a moment another
I named her Luna
The two never knew that It was I who gave them life
Who bound them to magic, sky, earth
But it was not enough
They needed more strength if they were to overcome the spirit of chaos
So I did two things
The first was to bind Celestia to the sun and Luna to the moon
The second was to take my essence and pull from it that which the living could commune
Harmony
With my elements of Harmony, the two sisters did smite the Lord of Chaos and cast him into stone
Then time passed
The two sisters stood apart from the three pony kinds
determining it was not their place to rule
commendable
but foolish
With time, the discord between the ponies gave form to magic that should of never been
The windigoes
They brought Ice to the land
I thought all life would cease
but then I was surprised
The three kinds had come together to dispel the cold
and with wisdom I had not seen in them they asked the two sisters to rule them
Time passed again
years, decades, centuries, millennia, eons
but then I felt the warping
I had made a mistake
my first
Luna had broken
There was a tear in the world
One being could not take the strength of the entire night
With time her mind grew fragile
Then she noticed the fear of night in her little ponies
It hurt her
She had become corrupted
But before I stretched out my hand I felt a ripping in my soul
The elements were used against her
I could not believe that this was so
I looked and saw that it was
The sister of the sun had used my elements to seal away the only one close to her
This was against their very nature
Her connection to them was severed
She could not even move them
I felt her sorrow and fear
I knew what I had to do
With my strength, I placed the burden of all of creation on her
she would raise the night and day alone.
even if it killed her
A millennium passed as I worked
I was watching even closer than before
I knew that Celestia would not last forever
and that her sister would break again if released
I made my plans
I gave Celestia a dream
A family would come before her in a time before her sister came again
They would offer her a seed
She would direct them to a valley near the tear
In time, the ones who could bear the elements would be there when needed
save one
that one would come to her
the element of magic
the next word I burned into her mind
The one who was cast into the moon shall return
She will come to bring about eternal night
on the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape
I pulled away as she screamed in agony at my power
I had work to do
For eight hundred years, I pushed and pulled laying the pieces for the parts they would play
In time I brought forth six individuals
Their souls would fit together strong enough to wield the elements
I pushed them to Ponyville
all but the one
the special one
Luna could not bear the sky alone
The Element of magic would bear the stars
She would be the stars
the stars would aid in moon's escape
With time it came to be
The elements purged nightmare moon
and the stars passed to a new master
I was glad
for a short time
That was until Discord escaped
He was sealed again quickly, but that is not why my joy was taken
Rarity
I do not know how or why, but Discord lead her to me
I had not felt such love in so long
but it did not last but for a breath
Her love was not from understanding me, but from an illusion
I had even given her my name
But in a moment I was pushed out and her eyes showed only disgust
I had forgotten how much I liked their love
to have it given back long enough then taken away was....
Painful
In only a few months I was used to plug a hole
How far I had fallen
I considered letting my mind fade
What is existence without love?
Then I remembered
I am Immortal.
I am tom.
and they WILL love me again
