At the halls of the Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns, 10 year old Twilight walked to lesson. She was heading to Legends of histories class. Opening the door she opened and sat at the desk near her best friend Moondancer. Then Miss Smile took the register and welcomed her class.
“Welcome class I hope you have a fun weekend!” Miss Simple explained. After everyone explained what they did on the weekend they began the lesson.
“Settle down everyone. Now in today’s lesson we’re going to be studding the cold war of bat ponies”
“Ooooo” The class explained.
“Now sit back children and let me guide you through the history of the cold war of the bats. Along, a long time ago, even before Princess Celestia’s. This event happened before and after the hearts warming tail were Smart Cookie, Clover the Clever and Private Pansy manage, with their continued display of friendship, melted the ice surrounding their leaders and incinerate the windigos through the magic of the Fire of Friendship. In the end, all the tribes learn that the warmth of harmony and love to each other can conquer over the coldness of hatred and grief. After the leaders settle their differences, they all finally live in harmony with each other while founding the new land, Equestria.” The teacher gestured her hoofs to the windows. “Sorry I’m getting ahead of myself so anyway back to the story. As the legend is told that Princess Platinum fell in love with the prince of the bat ponies called Steel Craft, but her father forbidden her to marry him as did his.”
“Miss that seems so cruel and a bit drastic don’t you think. It sounds like Shakeshere Pony.” One of her students said.
“Yes, your quite right but that’s what Shakeshere based it on” Miss Simile replied. “Now, let’s continue shall we. The two ponies were secretly seeing each other, going against their parents’ wishes. When the day came they were going to run away from each other but their parents separated them. We don’t know the specifics but what I was told that her father locked her bedroom so she couldn’t run off with him. Just to let you guys know the princess was only 17. After their plans were fell apart they parted vowing to ‘one day see each other again someday if not this life time then the next’. A few years later after the hearts warming tail Princess Platinum just got a arrange marriage to Seam Stone. After that, King Steel heard of this, he set a war on Equestria. It was the bloodiest war in all of time. King Steel died in the battle while the rest of the bat ponies disappeared into the shadows the movement of their Kings death.” Miss Simile turned seeing Twilights hoof. “Yes Twilight?”
“Miss there are a lot of details missed out is there a book I could borrow?” Twilight asked
“I’m just giving you a base line of the story before we get on to study it in more depth for each stage of events but if you want to learn more you I can lend you one of my books if you like?”
“Thanks Miss Simile”
“No problem” Miss Simile turned to the white board displaying the images of the story. “Anyway after that, things started to happen like the chaos king that ruled the land. Or when Celestia started her reign. Or the legendary war with a place made of crystals. Or the legend of the night Princess and corruption. Actually it’s because of the night princess that bat ponies and ponies started to begin a relationship again. Bat ponies loved the night. When a report of bat ponies were spotted, the night princess went to investigate. She found them. Many equestrian ponies also known as day ponies were holding torches of fire to them. Then the night princess protected them. The King Blast the 3rd offered her guards and created an alliance only with the night princess (not Celestia). She agreed. The two royal sisters who ruled over the magical land of Equestria. The elder sister used her powers to raise the sun, while the younger sister brought out the moon at night. The younger sister became resentful because the ponies of Equestria relished daytime but slept at night. One night, she refused to lower the moon. She transformed into Nightmare Moon, a "wicked mare of darkness," and vowed to shroud Equestria in eternal night. Her sister used the Elements of Harmony to banish her to the moon, and took on responsibility for both sun and moon. The bat ponies got angry at Celestia and ended the alliance. Bat ponies where seen as the enemy and the last war was shortly after that it only lasted 5 years. There are still reports of bat pony sightings even today. Hey, maybe one of you might see a bat pony. Now any questions?” Miss explained
“Miss what is so special about these bat ponies?”
“Why do we keep going to war with them?
“Can we meet one?”
“Is there any other legends surrounding this topic?”
“Calm students. Now first they are special because of the powers of night. They are part bat, able to fly faster than the average Pegasus. They can see in the dark. They can use the moon to use magic like are unicorns. There are some rare cases where a bat pony don’t have wings but have the same power but can manipulate the earth. However there is no known sightings of bat ponies with unicorn horn and bat wings. They said if they did they can use magic at day. Also the other reason is they drink blood to survive and love conflict and war. Anyway we go to war with them because… I don’t know just infortune events a guess. And no we can never meet them because it’s forbidden plus I don’t know where they are. The last report of a sighting was 4 years ago. There is a legend that the daughter of bats and magic/friendship will come to darkness, bringing a new drawn to Equestria when all is at peace” Out of the blue the bell rung. “Off to your next class. Bye!” All left Miss Smile’s room saying there byes.
