The Opposing Sides Of Life

The Opposing Sides Of Life

Chapter 1: Prologue

Since the beginning of time the ponies all around Equestria have been hiding from predators. They hunt and have been hunted. Centuries before the reign of the two royal princesses, Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, Everypony was on their own. The Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Pegasi had always stayed out of each others way. The Pegasi kept to the skies and Unicorns stayed hidden in Everfree forest and desert. The Earth Ponies stayed in lightest parts of the Everfree forest. Although they avoided one another, they still traded items. The Unicorns had potions and other magic things, The Earth Ponies had food and some building materials, and the Pegasi had minerals from the highest peaks of the mountains they lived near.

Ponies were always independent in Equestria. The different races of Ponies relied on themselves for the most part. Hundreds of different groups scattered Equestria. In the middle of the Everfree there was a village made by the Earth Ponies. It wasn't a big village but had all the basics for Ponies to live there. It was secluded in the under brush of the Everfree. In-front of that was a large field that filly's and colt's would play in. Mostly being farming area, the filly's and colt's were not allowed to play in parts of the field because there were scary monsters lurking in the tall grass.

It was late winter in Equestria with the smell of the fresh cold air amongst the forest. With the reflection of the snow the moon helped illuminate the Everfree a little. The village was made up of Tree huts. One of these tree huts in the village belonged to Nightlight and Sundance. There were many ponies there that night watching as Sundance gave birth to two fillies.

"Aren't they just beautiful?" Sundance asked Nightlight.

"Yes they are" Nightlight replied.

"W.. What is that on their heads!?" Sundance Exclaimed.

"I.. Its.. Its a Horn!" Nightlight said is shock and disbelief.

Among all the chatter one pony in the crowd started yelling "Look! They have wings too!"

Sundance and Nightlight looked at each other. They didn't know what to say.

They stared at each other for a moment and thought. "I.. I Guess we'll take them to Dr. Featherhoof then?" Nightlight asked Sundance

"Tomorrow we will, I think everyone needs time to figure out what is going on here..." Sundance said softly.

"ok sweetie" Nightlight said. "Everypony go back to your huts please we need to get rest and so do they. It's getting very late."

As everypony filed and left Night and Sun's hut, Nightlight turned back to Sundance. "Well that's that." he said with a irritated  look. "Ponies sure get restless when something out of the ordinary happens."

"Yes, well what should we name them then?" Sundance asked

Nightlight paused and thought for a minute. "We will name that one Celestia. Her white coat is as bright as the sun just like her mothers and her bright pink mane is like the glow of a star. Her name will be Luna. Her coat is as dark as the night but her eyes are as bright as the moon and her mane is like the blue night sky."

"Yes, Yes those are wonderful names" Sundance replied.

Nightlight paused and laughed at the two fillies poking each other and giggling.

Happiness filled Celestia and Luna's eyes as they played and laughed at each other. There was nothing more heart warming than watching the two fillies play together.

"They are just so beautiful aren't they?" Sundance asked quietly

"Yes, They are very." Nightlight replied with a sigh.

He was looking at Celestia and Luna with awe and disbelief. He couldn't understand why they had wings and a horn. How was is even possible to have both? Were they Pegasi with a horn? Or were they a Unicorn with wings? He didn't have a clue. All he knew is that they were his daughters and he loved them no matter what they looked like or what they had. Having both wings and a horn made them feel even more special too him for some reason.

"What do you think about their wings and horn?" Nightlight asked.

"I think they are different... but yet beautiful too." Sundance replied with a happy sigh. "But I think it is time for some sleep." she said.

"Ya good idea." Nightlight replied with a grin.

Looking out the window into the cold dark, Nightlight thought about the Celestia and Luna. Were the wings and horn real? What's the reason for this. He decided to go and get some rest and sleep on it. But first he went and got some water from the stream in front of their hut. He was cautious while walking to the stream.He gathered his water and went back inside. When inside he turned and looked out the window. He saw a pack of Timberwolves off in the distance roaming. They didn't come near but he watched them. "How could there be such savage things in this world" he muttered to himself.

"Night. Come here!" Sundance yelled across the hut.

Nightlight walked into the room.

"The girls, Look they are both walking so good!" Sundance said excitedly. Luna and Celestia were walking across the room  with little stumbling. "They two are something special aren't they?" Sun asked.

"Ya, They truly are." Nightlight said chuckling. "What are we going do with these two?" He said quietly with a smile.

Sundance laughed. "I don't know. I just don't know."
