Chapter 1:
Dear Bronies & Pegasisters
It is a warm summer afternoon, you didn’t have any plans for the day, so you've decided to relax a little bit in the comfort of your home. You're home alone for about two weeks, your parents are on a business trip, and any siblings you have are at camp for the rest of the summer. You've had decent day so far, you slept in, made a good decent breakfast, played some Halo, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty with some friends.
But the best part of your day was sitting down and watching the newest episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You have been a fan of the show since it first aired a few years back. The bright colors, the cheerful faces of the ponies, the amazing animation and story have also brightened your day.
You felt connected with the show, but you couldn't explain why. You knew you weren't alone with that feeling, you asked your fellow Bronies and Pegasisters and they had all felt the same way. You all pondered this daily hoping for an answer but decided not to question it. All that mattered was that you had the show in your life.
Then there was a knock at your door. You are a little startled at first, you weren't expecting anyone or anything. When you open the door you find a package waiting for you. It is unlabeled, no stamps, or return address or anything. You look around for a mailman or some shipping companies truck, but you see nothing of the sorts. You take the package inside curious about what it contains.
You make your way to the your living room, and set the package down on the table. You inspect in making sure it isn't a lethal weapon or anything. Once you're satisfied you open the package to find a scroll inside rolled up.
You're confused on why you would receive a scroll, ‘Maybe the answers lie inside’ you think.
You unroll the scroll to see the most most beautiful handwriting you have ever seen. Admiring it for a moment before bringing your eyes back to the head of the scroll.
Dear Bronies & Pegasisters,
It is I, Princess Celestia who writes to you this day....
You stop reading after that first line, “What?” Now you're now this is a just some prank being pulled by some of the anti-bronies from your school. You've had to deal with them in the past, but you've done well to ignore them. Most of them have given up on teasing or hazing you over the fact you’re a Brony, but some still find joy in making fun of you for it.
When you move to crumple the letter and throw it into the trash in the opposite side of the room something stops you. It is just as difficult to explain as the feeling you have connected to My Little Pony, you are compelled to read the letter further.
Dear Bronies & Pegasisters,
It is I, Princess Celestia, who writes to you this day. No this is not a prank or some kind of joke, and just to prove it turn on your television.
No words follow after that, but there is still much room on the page to be written on. You sigh and reach for your remote and turn on your T.V. once again. It takes a little longer to turn on then normal but once you can make out what is on the screen you see Princess Celestia smiling at you. At that moment you realize this isn't a prank, this sense isn't from any episode you have seen.
“I told you this isn't a prank,” She said. It causes you to jump from your set on your couch. She giggles a little and winks which turns the T.V. off at the same time.
You are flabbergasted, not even able to form a coherent sentence. You looked back to the letter, it has changed. It has more words on it now than it had before, which just puts you into further shock. You scramble to pick up the letter and continue reading.
What did I tell you? I am writing this to you and all other Bronies and Pegasisters on Earth. This message contain information that could change your life and even your fate. It deals with the connection you have all be feeling to our show. There is a reason for this connection. Lets start from the beginning...
Long time ago, before before Nightmare Moon, Discord, and Sombra. Farther back when I was a younger Princess, in what would be considered the ‘teen years’ for an Alicorn, I was still learning how to rule a Kingdom. Equestria was populated by millions of ponies, and everypony believed there would be everlasting peace. Unfortunately we had not seen the oncoming threat of war.
“Who would go to war with such a peaceful land such as Equestria?” You question.
You stop reading to think of all the things that could have had a deep hatred for the Celestia’s Kingdom. You began to feel pain pulsate in the back of your mind, you cease trying to come up with ideas as a result the pain subsided, you look back to the letter.
I take it you have tried to think of who would want to go to war with. Well...the problem is it was a civil war...
There were radicals who were tired of the way things were. And had been plotting to overthrow myself, Luna, and our mother. They had been planning their attack and new ruling for years before they had come out of the shadows. With them an army of thousands of ponies who were against us and our government. We meet with the civil leaders of the group and tried to see if their was anything we could do to put this threat of war behind us and return the peace. During the entirety of the meeting they hadn't spoken a word.
When they finally decided to speak it was as if they had no spirit, or spirit. Mother said she could feel something was controlling them, we still have yet to learn what that force was.
When the meeting came to a close the overall leader of the group finally spoke-up, ‘We will give one chance Faust. Step down from your throne or there will be war.’
I looked to my mother to see how she would answer. All she did was turn turn away and shake her head.
‘You have sealed your Kingdoms fate! Hope you can stand losing all the citizens and guards who still stand by your side. Or as I call them, fools!’ And then he and his other followers vanished.
You were now in complete shock at what you had read. Setting the letter down you let everything sink in, after about a good twenty minutes you were ready to continue reading.
The group had taken on the name of The Fallen. We have not seen hide-nor-hair of them sense the meeting, so we assumed they have given up. We were gravely mistaken.
The Fallen had started their march through Equestria. Destroying villages, town, and cities as they made for Canterlot and the Luna and I's personal Castle, or as you all know it as the Castle of the Royal Sisters. Once this destruction started so did the war. Civilians still loyal took up arms and rallied at Canterlot to defend it.
Mother and I got suited for battle as well. We are not the type of rulers who stand by and allow the citizens and guards do all the hard work, we were going to fight by their side. Luna was still young so she was taken to our ally the Griffon Kingdom for her own safety. And not only did they protect Luna they also sent their own army to help, if it wasn't for this the war would have lasted much longer and there would have been more bloodshed.
You were too far gone in this letter to pay attention to anything else that was going on around you. While lost in the letter your cellphone had been ringing non-stop, having yet to answer it.
After a year of blood, sweat, and tears, the war finally ended. Many lives were lost, but finally we put an end to The Fallen. We had to start reconstruction of everything that was destroyed as for the lost lives that is where your connection comes into play. Mother was able to save those who had been killed during the battle, but the solution would leave her weak and unfit to rule the Kingdom for the time being.
She was able to call forth all lives lost to be brought back, but she couldn't bring them back in Equestria. She had to send their spirits through the vast cosmos. We had followed them to make sure they had gotten somewhere safe, that's when they found Earth. It was still in its primitive stages and made the perfect place for the lost spirits.
After many more years they began to shape themselves into Bronies and Pegasisters. The guards that were killed became warriors and later on soldiers, and the citizens became people like you. You all have been reincarnated generation after generation with the love for Equestria but it has taken until now for the full connection to be established.
Close Scroll & Re-open
You had reached the end of the page at this point. Desperate to know what else Celestia had to say. Now you know why you and other Bronies and Pegasisters have been feeling something more for the show and that realm. Not only that you had learned you were once part of that great Kingdom, you were one of them. You quickly rolled the scroll up and opened it again. The words began to move and change into the new page.
You know your, what do you call it now-a-days? Your OC, I believe, well that picture that your drew, or that ‘vector’ you made, or the ‘Pony Creator’ you used. Your OC is not just what you would be as a pony, it is what were and will be as a pony. That pony came to mind because it is was the pony your were before your spirit was sent here for your rebirth.
Setting down the letter and rushing to the computer you pull up the picture of your OC that was made using the Pony Generator. Looking at it closely you start to understand what Celestia was talking about, realizing that the pony on the screen was your past and future.
You look back to the letter. The words start to fade and glow a golden yellow light as nine new words form on it.
Are You Ready To Return Home?
Your Princess,
Celestia
You're speechless, and everything seems to be on giant haze. You ringing cell phone can finally be heard, you check to see who it is. It is a friend you meet at the last BronyCon.
“Dude did you get the package?” He says very excitedly.
“Yeah, and I don’t think we are the only ones to get it.”
“...” The other end is silent.
“Dude?”
“...”Still only silence.
“You need not worry about your friends,” A sweet voice says, “He is home where he belongs.”
You turn and see the goddesses of the Sun and Moon themselves, Celestia and Luna. Acting quickly you bow to your knees as your brain starts working again.
“You do not need to bow,” Luna says as he walks over and lifts you up.
“We have come to take you back to Equestria,” Celestia said.
Your eyes well with tears of joy as you can finally get to go to the place where you can be truly happy. Your parents went on a ‘business trip’ but it was really an excuse for your abusive father to hide your mothers remains after an argument got out of hand. Thankfully you were able to get your brother and sister to safety as soon as he left, for without your mother around to protect you he would take his fury out on you.
Celestia was reading your mind and spoke-up, “We have taken the liberty of taking you siblings to Equestria as well.”
“They are waiting for you. You are the only Brony who has not been brought to Equestria yet,” Luna said taking a step back next to her sister.
Your smile grows and you nodded, tears still streaming from your eyes. They smile and began to pour magic into their horns. Warmth spreads over your body as a blinding light flashes and Celestia and Luna teleport you.
* * * *
Your eyes open to see to two little fillies standing over you. Recognizing them as the OC’s you helped your little brother and sister make.
“You're here!” They say in unison as they jump on you for a hug.
You look to where your hands would be and see hooves. Inspecting the rest of yourself to find you look exactly like your OC does. You look out on the rolling green pastures and see your friends running toward you.
They are all shouting, “He made it!”
You get up and look to the sky. You made it. You are home. You are in Equestria.
