Plot Bunny #7 - The Legends of the Everfree · 12:05pm Sep 22nd, 2015
So... I was thinking about whether we'll have a post-credits 'stinger' to Friendship Games, the same way we did with Rainbow Rocks> What might it be...?
~~~~~~
As the last chord of Right There in Front of Me fades, the picture changes from the Hasbro Studios logo to a GREEN FOREST as far as the eye can see. The POV sweeps over it towards a cluster of modern-looking BUILDINGS.
A K Yearling
In a cave hidden deep in the Everfree Forest, stone tablets were found a century ago detailing a strange prophecy.
The POV stops over the BUILDINGS. A SIGN on an access road clearly says: 'The Everton Institute for Advanced Studies', then the POV moves deeper into the FOREST.
A K Yearling
It details a time when the people of our world will confront foes unlike any they have seen before, against which the mightiest warrior is helpless. It also speaks of seven maidens called from the humblest backgrounds.
The POV halts above a forest clearing and tilts down, revealing a SINKHOLE.
A K Yearling
Their coming would be heralded by a column of light, seen thrice, of all the colours of the rainbow...
The POV slowly enters the SINKHOLE to reveal, in a circle of sunlight, a seven-sided ARK with a keyhole in each of its seven sides. The POV turns to look in to the darkness beyond the ARK.
A K Yearling
They would be: The Sword of Loyalty...
With a crystaline tone, a RED THUNDERBOLT begins to shine in the darkness.
A K Yearling
The Balm of Kindness...
Another tone, a PINK BUTTERFLY appears;
A K Yearling
The Wings of Laughter...
Now a SKY BLUE BALLOON shines in the dark;
A K Yearling
The Riches of Honesty...
An ORANGE APPLE;
A K Yearling
The Shield of Generosity...
An INDIGO DIAMOND;
A K Yearling
The Light of Magic...
A PURPLE SIX-POINTED STAR;
A K Yearling
... and the Balance of Friendship.
At the centre of the arc of glowing crystals, a seventh sigil appears, a GOLD-AND-RED SUNBURST. The illumination level in the cave rises to reveal a TREE OF HARMONY with the six ELEMENTS on six boughs and the seventh, new ELEMENT in the centre of the point all six boughs meet.
A K Yearling
These seven maidens would become the Guardians of Harmony in a world stricken by strife from both within and without. Protectors, guides and teachers to rediscover the ways of peace and friendship in a world that grows ever darker. Who are these maidens? Do they even exist? No-one knows. They are The Legends of the Everfree."
~~~~~~
Yes, I'm hoping that Legends of Everfree isn't a stand-alone and instead is either an EqG series, following up the events of Friendship Games. I think that the general feel of the build-up to this movie suggests that something big and epic will happen - a birth of magic in the human world and possibly a destiny for Sunset and her six friends to find.
It would be really interesting....
It's a little long for a stinger but a great concept. By the way, have you got my email yet?
