Important notes about the status of this story below
Ever wonder what Equestria's past was like? How did Celestia and Luna come to rule? And what made their rule a time of peace? Well I may have had something to do with that.
Name's Zack. I appeared in Equestria over 3000 years before the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" takes place. For whatever reason, a few months after my arrival, I was transported to the modern day Ponyville. What happened? Are the Princesses mad at me for disappearing like I did? I only helped establish the greatest country this world has ever seen and then vanished.
That... sounded more innocent in my head. Uh oh...
A/N:
Just to let you know ahead of time, this is a ponified human, 1st person story. If you don't like it, don't bother.
The cover art was made by me, with the exception of the night sky bg (Wertyla).
Edit August 2nd 2016: I want to rewrite this story from the beginning. Read this for more info and tell me what you think.
Edit May 24th 2017: IMPORTANT! I am currently rewriting the entire story and with that, many details and aspects are set to change. As such, it will essentially be an entirely new story, meaning this version of Past, Present, and Future is technically Cancelled. There will be no more chapter updates until I finish the rewrite, meaning that this version will not have a proper ending. If it's requested enough, I may do some kind of Cliffnotes version of how the rest of the story was meant to play out, but for right now just know that if you start reading this version, you will not get an ending. I will post an announcement chapter on this story and Blog on my profile when the writing nears completion and I'm about to start uploading chapters. Thank you for all of your interest in my first public work of fiction. It really means a lot to me.
You have earned it good brony

Thank you. I just hope this keeps as good a reception as I've had so far.
Soooo...technically he's as old as Tia and Luna!?
2867684
Eh, well technically no. He was just transported 3000 years ahead. He just happened to be there when Tia and Luna became the rulers of Equestria.
mmmm haaaa
damn, this is a great start. Can't wait for more of it.
>Instant ponification
Meh.
I'll check up on it later, but so far I'm not terribly impressed. The concept is interesting enough, but the execution? Didn't live up to the expectations.
Write more plz

Please make sure the princesses are involved in the story, thankz

The fun has been.....increased. What don't look at me like that.
This doesn't make much sense... That didn't sound guilty out loud either.
1) Helped establish country? Check
2) Put in work? Check

That hilarious! I love number 3!
Nice fic, it has a lot of potential! Keep the chapters coming, it just keeps getting better and better.
i was kinda hoping Celestia would teleport to the library and beat the crap outta him or something
Can't wait to see where this story's going!
love it, update soon :P :D

Haha! Believe it or not, that was actually the very first idea I came up with for their meeting. I decided against it, though, because I couldn't advance my story from there how I wanted it without smacking a brick wall.
I was expecting celestia and Luna to teleport to the library followed up by them both going all harem (throwing themselves at him) followed by twatligt's brain imploding.... BACKWARDS!
We enjoyed this... we wait for less then happy tia.
For some reason i feel as if molestation may occur.
Moar.
Looks very nice.
I wonder what our protagonist considers himself, pony/human/both?, having already spent years in ancient Equestria... Living a mayor part of your life as another species should have some influence on him, I guess. It would be interesting to zoom in on that topic

If Celestia knows about "Blast" origins, plus his knowledge of future Equestria, she may be a tiiiiny bitsy...upset if he didn´t tell her about Nightmare Moon.
2879908 Nah, since he made up a fake name the first time and couldn't just tell her "It's Zack, I'm back!" it's highly unlikely that he told her what he was trying to hide when he made up the name "Starswirl".
I really hope she keeps a cool head a out all this and doesn't freak to much...
Okay, let's see where this is going.
Well, it's already funny. I need more. :)
