Introductions are in order....

Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, lived two Regal sisters who ruled over the night and day.
These ponies kept watch on ponykind, monitoring their progress in the fields of magic, science and technology. Under their watchful eyes, anything deemed harmful to ponykind was discarded, and these fields stagnated.
As time went on, many a pony began to ask themselves “is this truly harmful? What potential is there in these fields? What can we do to make our lives better?”
As these murmurings spread and the princesses clamped down on advancement, the ponies have become discontent.
A single incident involving a foal’s quest for her cutie mark finally sparked what had been building up, as Ponykind rose against the Princesses in open revolt.
Time went on, and eventually the Princesses’ worst nightmares came true.

Discord had returned to the land.
But not as the spirit of disharmony and chaos as ponykind once knew him.
As Order brought stagnation, Change brings Chaos.
Reborn as the Spirit of Change, Discord sided with the rebelling ponies, bringing them closer to victory.

As things seemed bleak for the Princesses, they finally succumbed to the darkness in their hearts.
Reborn as Nightmare Moon and Tonatiuh, the Princesses challenged Discord and the rebels, nearly defeating him in pitched combat.
However, the Rebels had the one item powerful enough to challenge even the Gods;

The Elements of Harmony.

Sealing away the Princesses in their domains, Discord and the rebels won the day, as those who were still loyal to the princesses fled to form the Kingdom of Equestria.
One thousand years later, the Republic of Equestria is a thriving nation, built upon the foundations of Magic, Science and Technology, and one that is always seeking to better itself.
The Governing Council, assisted by Discord, rules fairly and with knowledge.

But this is not the story about them.
This story follows a young stallion that has yet to realize where exactly his life shall lead him.

This is the story of how one pony can make all the difference….
