//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: The True Story of Hearths Warming Eve // Story: Three Evil Rulers, Three Cold Hearts // by Matthais Unidostres //------------------------------// Three Evil Rulers, Three Cold Hearts Chapter 1: The True Story of Hearths Warming Eve We've all been told the story of Hearths Warming Eve, how the disharmony between the three pony tribes gave power to the Windigoes, who froze the entire land with hate driven winter, how more fighting between their leaders gave even more power to the Windigoes' icy plague, how these cold hearted leaders were encased in ice by their own hate, and how after the leader's advisers came together in harmony to break the icy curse of the Windigoes, ushering in a new age of peace for all ponies, and the founding of the land of Equestria. However, on one point of the story, we have been wrongly informed. We were told that the love and harmony released by Private Pansy Pegasus, Clover the Clever Unicorn, and Smart Cookie the Earth Pony not only freed the land of the Windigoes' curse, but their leaders also. However, this was a lie. The hearts of these leaders were so full of greed, anger, hatred, and racism that not even the brilliant Heart of Harmony could warm their hearts. And so, their reigns were ended. Princess Pansy became ruler of the pegasi. Princess Clover became ruler of the unicorns. Princess Cookie became ruler of the earth ponies. As for the previous rulers, they were left as ice sculptures in the cave to be an eternal reminder of what happens when disharmony and hate is set free to bring destruction. You can probably see why you were lied to. What kind of ending would this be to tell your young fillies and colts? The rulers all get frozen forever? That ending is far too sad! And so, Commander Hurricane the violent military dictator of the pegasi, Princess Platinum the tyrannical absolute monarch of the unicorns, and Chancellor Puddinghead the completely insane communist ruler of the earth ponies remained frozen within the hidden cave, its location long forgotten, for thousands of years. . . ...That is, until now... A bright flash of light filled the cave as the Spirit of Chaos himself appeared in the midst of the three ice sculptures. The Draconequis laughed as he looked at the three mares around him, "Oh, ho, ho, ho! My heroes! You three led such a delicious reign of disharmony! It's just a shame that those lousy advisers of yours had to ruin everything. Oh, excuse me!" Discord snapped his fingers, and the ice around the heads of the mares shattered. "Oh! Oh! I give you a royal thanks!" Princess Platinum gasped. "Yeah, yeah, thanks, now, I command that you free the rest of my body!" Commander Hurricane commanded. "Oh, don't worry about me! I'll just lick myself out! Hey, I'm a pony Popsicle! Cool! Hey! 'Cool'! I made a funny punny!" Chancellor Puddinghead chattered. "Augh! Will you please refreeze that chattering earth pony!" Platinum moaned. "Yeah, and freeze the whining unicorn too!" Hurricane shouted. "I'm not whining, this is whining!" "Yuck! Make the stupid unicorn stop!" Puddinghead moaned. "No, shut up the pegasus!" "Oh for goodness sake, will you all just shut up!" Discord shouted, loosing his patience for the second time that day. The mares all stared at Discord. "Good," he said, "Now listen closely, I have plans to rule allllllllllll of the world. However, there is a small a chance that I may loose. So, I'm initiating 'Operation Spoiled Sport!" Discord snapped his fingers, and a large red crystal appeared in the center of the cave. "That is a Fire Crystal. If I loose and get turned back into stone, that crystal will shatter, and completely melt the ice around you. Freeing you to travel through Equestria and raise an army of your own kind to fight a," Discord took a deep breath and rattled off, "huge, amazing, violent, destructive, terrifying-" Discord took another deep breath after talking so fast and said with great relish, "chaotic war that will determine which kind of pony will rule Equestria!" "You mean Pegasopolis!" "No! It's Unicornia!" "No! It's Dirtvile, uh, I mean Earth!" As the three began to shout and argue, Discord sighed and snapped his fingers, freezing their head in ice once again. "Fools," he said, "If they fought a war, it would never end! There would simply eternal fighting and chaos! And that's what I love the most. Of course, I'd be in stone, so I wouldn't be able to enjoy it. . ." Discord gave an evil grin and said, "But that's only a 'Last Resort Last Laugh'. It's not like Twilight Sparkle and her friends are really gonna defeat me! Huh! That's a laugh!" Discord then vanished with a flash. A mere few hours later, the Fire Crystal shattered. . . I HATED those three pony leaders! I WANTED THEM TO STAY FROZEN FOR – EVER! Their advisers deserved to rule more than they did! So, I wrote this Fan Fic, where everypony will get to see how evil and heartless they really are. Oh, and this is VERY important. THE RULERS ACTUALLY DO LOOK LIKE RARITY, PINKIE PIE, AND RAINBOW DASH. This will actually be important to the plot later. Anyway, the episode was really great, and I hope you all enjoyed it. Hopefully its success will rub off onto this Fan Fic. Tune in later for chapter 2!
