For an indeterminate amount of time, there existed only the alicorns. Majestic, awesome beings of immeasurable power.

After a time, they became weary of the nothingness that only creatures of their caliber could truly perceive and learned how to create. Their first attempts were met with disconcerting results but they eventually perfected it. They first created a world populated by creatures crafted in their own image whom they dubbed "ponies".

After many centuries and many more creations, they wished to create more worlds with different forms of life. After deciding which ones would stay behind to watch over their first world, they set off into eternity to fill the gaping void. Some similar to the first, others radically different.

Some became fascinated by specific forms of life like the plants those of the sea. Others concentrated on the wheather and land. While others devoted themselves to the ideas and concepts made by their creations like love and laughter. Their fascination soon made many of them become what they loved. One of them was named Equinox

Equinox is the alicorn god of justice. The jet black coat, golden mane and tail, and brass scales on his flank all show, in different ways, his passion to do right by all living things. In each world and reality, he chooses a guardian to defend and uphold the ideals he stands for: balance, nobility, and courage. Oftentimes, he has aid from his brother Klocwurk, the alicorn god of time, to find those best suited to take the responsibility. And one such chosen is about to face his destiny.
