The Prophecies

3rd Person POV

As the world grew older, and species evolved. The ponies thrived along with others. Though the beings of the universe also evolved with them. They became to favor the ponies more than other species, becoming more like them. They even took their forms and names. As they grew older, they decided to call themselves Primordials, not Gods or Goddesses. They didn't hold themselves on that level of power and control. The names they are known for are; Joyful Harmony, Insane Chaos, Infinite Eon, Solis Aura, Mystic Void, Flora Blossom, Peaceful Oblivion, Terra Quartz, Zephyr Skies, Coral Seas, Thundering Tempests, Volcanic Inferno, and Frozen Snowfall. They've visited the ponies under these names many times. Teaching them all they knew about their domains and more.
After many years of watching and observing the creatures of Equis. The six primordials of the planet decided to create three new species in light of their development.
And so that year on the 12th day of the 2nd month, the plan was set. Terra Quartz and Volcanic Inferno appeared before the Earth Ponies with a gift. A small rock formation that burned with an eternal flame and spilled molten rock between its cracks. The altar was inscribed with a prophecy,

'When the time is right. A stallion of great strength and courage shall be born. And upon his death. On the longest day of the year, at midday. You shall place his ashes in the scorching desert where he shall rise anew.’

On the same day later that night. Coral Seas and Frozen Snowfall appeared before the Unicorns with a gift. A small fresh water fountain spring made of ice and snow. The altar was also inscribed with a prophecy.

'When the time is right. A mare of magical abilities beyond those around her shall be born. And upon her death. On the longest night of the year, at midnight. You shall place her ashes in the icy waters where she shall rise anew.’

Three days after the visitation of the previous four Primordials. Zephyr Skies and Thundering Tempests appeared before the Pegasi with a gift. A small cloud with storms raging and winds blowing. The altar, much like the ones before it, was inscribed with a prophecy.

‘When the time is right. Two brothers of great wisdom and speed shall beest born. And upon their deaths. After three days, you shall place their ashes under a great oak in an open plain, where they shall rise anew.’

Once the altars with the prophecies were given. The Primordials left leaving the world in turmoil. The Cataclysm as stated in the history books in the Canterlot Archives. Though unlike that tale of history, it wasn't the Alicorn Kingdom that disappeared, it was the Primordials of old that did. After many years, four ponies were born. An Earth Pony farmer by the name of Summer Blaze, a powerful Unicorn mage by the name of Morning Frost, and a Pegasus Commander and Lieutenant by the names of Hurricane and Tornado Blitz.
After many years of living in their separate tribes during the Age of Strife and The Three-Way War did the wendigos roll in, casting the land in a forsaken winter. This is where the classic tale of Hearths Warming Eve was born. When the three tribes united after the founding of Equestria. They still had tension between them when encountering one another. But eventually, they became friends, but unbeknown to them. They will be friends till the end of their lives and beyond.
