Chapter 2: The First Six Ponies and the Garden of Equin

And so it came to pass that the Earth was to be made. When the Two Alicorns and their children began to create Olympia and Earth, the earth was without form and void. And Uronus said to Celestia, “Let there be light.” And there was light and it was good. And Uronus said to Luna, “Let there be darkness to complement the light.” And there was darkness and it was good. And Uronus divided the light from the darkness. And Uronus called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And it was morning and it was evening, The First Day. And Uronus said, “Let there be a vault in the midst of the waters, and let it divide water from water. And Uronus made the vault and it divided the water beneath the vault and the water above the vault. And Uronus called the water above sky, and it was both morning and evening, The Second Day.  And Geia said to Nepsidian, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered in one place so that the dry land will appear”. And Nepsidian made it so. And Geia called the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters she called seas, and Geia saw that it was good. And Geia said to Cermeter, “Let the Earth bring forth grass, plants yielding seed of each kind, and trees bearing fruit of each kind, that’s has its seeds within it upon the Earth.” And Cermeter made it so, and the Earth put forth grass, plants yielding seed of each kind, and trees bearing fruit that has its seed within it of each kind, and Geia saw that it was good, and it was both morning and evening, The Third Day. And Uronus said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the skies to divide the day from the night, and let them be for signs for the fixed times and for days and years, and there shall be lights in the vault of the heavens to give light upon the Earth.” And so it was. And Uronus bestowed upon Celestia and Luna two great lights.  The greater light to dominate the day and the lesser light to dominate the night. And Uronus placed them in the sky to give light upon the Earth, and to rule over the day and night, and to divide the day from night. And Uronus saw that it was good. And it was morning and evening, The Fourth Day. And Geia said to Cermeter, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures and birds that fly over the Earth across the sky.” And Cermeter created the great sea monsters, and every living creature that crawls, which the water had brought forth in swarms, and all the winged birds of every kind, and Gaia saw that this was good. And the Two Alicorns blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the water in the seas and let the birds multiply the Earth and sky. And it was morning and evening, The Fifth Day. And Geia said to Cermeter, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of each kind, crawling things and wild beasts of each kind”. And Cermeter made wild beasts for each kind and all crawling things on the ground of each kind, and Geia saw that this was good. And it was morning and evening, The Sixth Day.

And both Alicorns said, “Let us make ponies in our image, let us make three races that each illustrate the best of our abilities and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every crawling thing that crawls upon the earth. So Geia formed a pony from the dirt of the ground and Uronus blew into his nostrils the breath of life and so the Earth Pony became a living creature. Then Geia formed a winged pony out of the cirrus, nimbostratus, and cumulus clouds of the sky and Uronus blew into his nostrils the breath of life and so the Pegasus became a living creature. Then Geia formed a horned pony out of the leftover magic of the universe and and Uronus blew into his nostrils the breath of life and so the Unicorn became a living creature. And the Alicorns said unto them, “Behold, we have given you life so that you may live in this world and care for it. You three shall work together in harmony to master this world and have dominion over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and every beast that crawls upon the earth. The Alicorns turned to the Earth Pony and said “Your name shall be Andros, you shall control over all of the earth and every living thing that grows or crawls on it shall be yours”. The Alicorns turned to the Pegasus and said “Your name is Baruq, you shall have control over the vast sky and every living thing that flies or soars shall be yours as well”. The Alicorns turned to the Unicorn and said “Your name is Magnus, you shall have control over the untamed magic of the universe not yet under our control and every spell, enchanment, and hex shall be yours as well.” The Alicorns placed the ponies in a garden in Equin and they commanded the ponies, saying “Every plant and fruit of the garden is free to eat, but not from the tree in the center for that is the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and you shall surely die if you eat one of its fruits. And so the three ponies went out into the garden, they named the beasts of the earth, the fowl of the sky, and the fish of the sea. they frolicked in the fields and they grew fat from the fruit of the garden. Then one day, Geia spoked to Uronus “It is not good for stallions to be alone, let us make mates for them like the birds and beast and fish” And so while the three stallions were in a deep sleep, The Alicorns took a rib from each pony and they fashioned the ribs into three mares and They brought them to the stallions. And Andros said to the Earth mare “Your name shall be Terra, since you came from me and I was from the Earth”. And Baruq said to the Pegasus mare “Your name shall be Caleum, since you came from me and I was from the Sky”. And Magnus said to the Unicorn mare “Your name shall be Lamia, since you came from me and I was from the magic of the universe”. And The Alicorns said “Be fruitful and multiply over the Earth and care for it along with the fishes of the sea, the birds of the air, and the beasts of the Earth”. And so all six ponies frolicked together and they were naked, but they felt no shame. Thus the heavens and earth were finally completed, and on The Seventh Day, all of the alicorn gods rested for they had done good. And The Alicorns blessed The Seventh Day and made it holy for on it they had ceased from all the tasks they had done.

Now the Horned Serpent was the most cunning of all the creatures in the garden and he said to the mares “Even though The Alicorns said you shall not eat from any tree in the garden….” And the mares said to the Horned Serpent “We may eat from every tree in the garden, but we may not eat from the tree in the middle of the garden for if we do, The Alicorns said we shall die!” And the Horned Serpent said to the mares “Ye shall not die, for The Alicorns knows that on that day you eat the fruit, your eyes will be opened and you shall become divine like them, knowing good and evil.” And the mares looked at the tree and saw that the fruit was inviting and pleasing to the eye. And so they took the fruit and ate it and they also gave them to their stallions and they ate the fruit too. And theirs eyes were open and they saw that they were naked. But they heeded no mind this revelation. And they heard the sound of the Two Alicorns walking about in the garden in the evening breeze, and the ponies hid from the Two Alicorns in the midst of garden. And the Two Alicorns called to the ponies and said to them “Where are you?” And the stallions replied, “We heard the sound of you in the garden and we were afraid and so we hid.” And the Two Alicorns said “Why would you be afraid? Have you eaten the fruit of the tree that I commanded you not to eat?” And the stallions said “It was the mares whom you gave us, they gave us the fruit to eat!” And the mares said “The Horned Serpent was the one who beguiled us!” And the Two Alicorns said to the ponies “What have you done?” The Two Alicorns then turned to the Horned Serpent “We shall deal with you momentarily for this act. Get thee back to Olympia and prepare for our arrival”. And the Two Alicorns turned to the Earth Ponies and said “Because of this, you now will have to work for your food, you will plow the earth and eat the grasses of the field and by the sweat of your brow you shall eat your bread until the last of your days.” And the Two Alicorns turned to the Pegasai “Because of this, you will still possess your wings, but you will no longer fly beyond the barriers of earth and you will never soar in the hallowed halls of Olympia ever again.” And the Two Alicorns turned to the Unicorns “Because of this, you will still possess your horns, but your ability to cast spells will be limited and you shall never be the equal of us in the astral plane”. And the Two Alicorns said to the ponies “From now on, your children and your children’s children shall now have to earn their cutie-marks and find their own destiny without the help from us” And the Two Alicorns sent them forth from the Garden of Equin, and They set up monsters and a gate of fire to guard the way into the Garden. The six ponies accused each other of their misfortune and separated themselves from each other and went their own ways.

Chapter 1: The Creation of the Universe and the Birth of the Alicorn Gods

In the beginning, there was nothing but empty darkness. There was no time, no sun or moon, and no ponies. But one day, if you could call it a day, there was a tremendous explosion of light brighter than anything that had ever been or ever will be and out of the Light came two alicorns. The first was named Uronus and the second was named Geia. Both alicorns looked around at the space the Light had made and both set forth to explore this universe. Uronus created the abstract side of the universe, taming the storms of magic that were leftover from the Great explosion of Light and distributing it evenly across the universe. Geia created the physical side of the universe, making meteors that turned into planets and making the stars and moons. The alicorns looked at their work and were pleased and both alicorns knew each other and by doing so begated more alicorns to wonder the universe. These alicorns were born with unique abilities such as Cronus’s ability to master time and Hermercury's gift for speed. But when the two parent alicorns looked upon their children, they had realize that they were missing three more. One alicorn to control the rising and setting of the sun, one alicorn to control the rising and setting of the moon, and one alicorn to control the uncontrollable forces of chaos. And so it came to pass that both alicorns knew each other once more and two alicorns emerged out of Geia's womb. The first alicorn that emerge was a white alicorn with a pink mane and a cutie mark of a sun on her flank. This one was named Celestia. The second alicorn that emerge was a blue unicorn with a mane of stars and a cutie mark of a crescent moon on her flank. This one was named Luna. But when the third alicorn was to be made, Geia wanted the god of chaos to have a special uniqueness that would make him stand out from the others. So for the third alicorn, Geia bestowed upon him the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he was given a bat's right wing, a Pegasus' left wing, and a snake's tail, along with two horns upon his equine head. This one was named Discord. Then the parent alicorns constructed an immense palace of gold and silver for their children to live in and they named it Olympia. The two parents then took leave of their children in order to maintain the balance of the universe and by doing so left them to their own devices.
