The Lord of the Rings: the ponies of the Fellowship



The Prologue


Now you all know the story of the rings of power but what if there were two more rings so the story should go like this.
" It began with the forging of the Great rings. Three given to the Elven Kings under the sky, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
Seven to the Dwarf Lords in their halls of stone, the great minors and craftsmen of the Mountain Halls. Two for the Alicorn Sisters Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from the world of Equestria who along with their entire race of ponies live as physical spirits and soul companions to the citizens of Middle Earth. Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, who above all else desired power, and finally. One for the Dark Lord Sauron on his Dark Throne in the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lay from the fires of Mount Doom where he put into this ring his cruelty, his madness and his will to dominate of life, the One Ring to rule them all in the land of Mordor where the shadows lay.
One by one the free lands of Middle Earth fell to the power of the ring but there were some who resisted."
Entered an marching army of Men, Elves and ponies.
" A last alliance of Men, Elves and their ponies marched against the armies of Mordor to fight for the freedom of Middle Earth. The men were lead by Elendil High King of Gondor with his son Isildur and their ponies Commander Hurricane and Unicorn Princess Platinum while the Elves were lead by Lord Elrond Half-Elven and his pony the Alicorn Princess of the Night Luna, victory was near but the power of the ring could not be undone. Sauron joined in the battle and kill many in his path including Elendil and Hurricane, so it was in this moment when all hope had failed that Isildur son of the King took up his Fathers broken sword and swung it across Saurons fingers cutting them and the ring off his hand. From that final act Sauron the enemy of the free people of Middle Earth who lit up and exploded into nothingness was defeated, the ring passed to Isildur who had this one chance to destroy evil forever but the hearts of men are easily corrupted and the ring of power has a will of it's own." then as Isildur was on his way home with the ring around his neck and Princess Platinum right next to him a small band of Saurons surviving orcs attacked, Isildur instead of fighting took the ring and put it on making him invisible long enough to jump into a near by river but as he started to swim away the ring slipped off his finger to be seen and welcomed by three arrows leaving the ring to be drifted lost by the flowing river.
"It betrayed Isildur to his death and some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend, legend became myth and for two in a half thousand years the ring passed out of all knowledge, until when chance come it ensnared two new bearers."
Enter two in a half thousand years into the future with the ring being grabbed out of it's resting place by a hand then being in another place by two pairs of a hand one normal with dirty nails and the other purple scaled with green claws.
" The ring came to the creatures Gollum and Spike who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains and their it concealed them." Now into a dark cave with a cold underground river and piles upon piles of dead fish and bones with two creatures one a slightly human with long fingers, and bright deemed eyes and the other a fair sized teenaged dragon with purple and green scales also with deemed eyes to help see in the dark both of who were holding on to and looking at the ring calling it their precious, " The Ring brought to Gollum and Spike unnatural long life, For five hundred years it poisoned their minds and in the gloom of their cave it waited. darkness creped back into the forest of the world, rumor grew of a shadow in the East whispers of a nameless fear and the Ring of Power received, it's time had now come." then back to the ring falling down some rocks, " It abandoned Gollum and Spike but something happened that the ring did not intended. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable."
Enter Bilbo Baggins.
" A Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins of the shire and his Pony Lady Baked Smith." then frighten by the sudden sound of Spike and Gollum from the distance Bilbo placed the ring in his pocket, " For the time some come when Hobbits would shape the fortunes of all."

So now our story begins.


Chapter one: 

The Shire and the Hobbits


Date: (60 years after the events of Bilbo Baggins in Gollum and Spikes cave) 22 of September year 14000 the third age of the Earth

Place: Bag End, Hobbitain, The Shire

Hobbit Residents: Uncle: Bilbo Baggins and Nephew: Frodo Baggins

Pony Residents: Earth Pony: Lady Baked (Granny) Smith and Earth Pony granddaughter: Applejack

Bilbo Baggins sat in his quite study writing his book ' There and Back again. A Hobbits tale by Bilbo Baggins' with Lady Smith now called Granny Smith by everyone and everypony around the town of Hobbitain sleeping next to him, He had finished the title and had began writing when a knock came upon the door. He heard it but didn't want to be bothered knowing it was just a Hobbit checking in reports for the upcoming birthday party, his birthday party to be exact so he calls out a name, " Frodo would you get the door please." and continues to his book writing, ' Concerning Hobbits. We Hobbits and our Earth and Pegasi ponies live a quiet life farming in the Shire as it has been done for nearly hundreds of years while ignoring and being ignored by the big folk and their Unicorns, though it's know that Hobbits are not the best warriors or in some cases the most wise we do have a large passion for food, the drinking of fine ale with succulent fruit and the smoking of fresh pipe weed but...' then the door knocks again so he calls another name different from the first, " Applejack please answer the door." and goes back to write, ' but the most important thing a Hobbit and their ponies love is peace, quiet and good timber for all us Shire-Folk share a love for things that grow and the animals that live along side us agree to.' but again the sound of the door knocking came to be and this time it was annoying so Bilbo calls out the two names again, " Frodo, Applejack the door." yet reply but another knock so he shacks his head and says to himself, " Oh dickle bats where are those two." then give one last hopeful shout, " Frooodo! Appleejack!" yet to no luck because the Hobbit and pony who owned those names weren't in the Baggins house of Bag End but where instead seating by a tree outside the edge of town reading.
Now Frodo Baggins and his Earth pony Applejack were just as well know and respected as their uncle and grandmother in fact the four of them even shared the same birthday together so it wasn't just Bilbo and Smith's party it was theirs too but all they wanted at the moment was peace and quiet away from Bag End and away from Hobbitain because they were waiting for two special somebody's, when suddenly two voices began to sing a merry tune, " The road goes ever on and one. Down from the door where it begins." one was rather deep and the other quite mellow which gave a clear image to the Hobbit and Earth pony so with a smile on their faces the ran off to meet the owners of those voices. And what owners they were, the deep one was a large man of Wizarding traits with a big pointed hat dressed all in gray and a big long gray beard driving the horse drawn carriage of his hand made fireworks named Gandalf Grayhaven but to the Hobbits, dwarves, men and ponies it was just Gandalf the Gray or Gandalf for short and also Mithrandir by the Elves while the mellow one sitting in the back on the other hand was a young Unicorn mare with a dark blue mane and tail that had a line of purple and pink of it, a pinkish purple coat and a cutie mark of five little white stars surrounding a big purple one named Twilight Sparkle who is unbelievably the student of Alicorn Princess Celestia.
Frodo and Applejack had finally meet up with Gandalf and Twilight's wagon on a small hill, Applejack wanted to see how long it would take the two riders to notice when Frodo crossed his arms and said, " You guys are late." stopping them dead in their tracks.
The Wizard then turns his head to the Hobbit and says, " A Wizard is never late Frodo Baggins."
Followed by Twilight closing her eyes, " Nor is he or his Unicorn early. We arrive precisely when we mean to." who then looks back at her two friends who grew the biggest smiles you see on such small bodies and began to laugh.
She and Gandalf then laugh back knowing their joke when Frodo jumps onto the wagon and pulls them together for a hug shouting, " It's wonderful to see you Gandalf and you too Twilight." 
Which they returned as Applejack did the same saying, "Well you didn't think we miss your uncle Bilbo and Granny Smith's birthday?" Afterward Gandalf affords them a ride, which about an hour later he asked, " So Frodo how is the old rascal, Me and Twilight hear it's going to be a party of special magnificence."
Frodo laughed at that as the two ponies in the back were talking amongst themselves and said, " You know Bilbo he's got the whole place in a uproar, half the Shire has been invited and the rest are just turning up any." making Gandalf laugh some more.
Speaking of Bilbo he was still writing in his book back at Bag End saying, ' So life on the Shire goes on just as it has this past age full of it's own comings and goings but things are made to endure, passing from one generation to the next with one thing is certain there has always been a Baggins and a Apple living here under the hill in Bag End." he stopped at those words thinking of their meaning and said with all the joy in his heart, " And there always well be."
