My little pony: An Equestrian Journey
Chapter one: Of happiness and sorrow

Once upon a time there was a world far away and yet similar to our own, a world filled with magic and fantasy which made it a world quite to behold. In its wonder there were many creatures of light, and darkness. These creatures spent there lives trying to live in harmony with each other but for the most part it was always restrained order and sparing moments of discord.

Viewing this world was a creature that went by the name of Celestia. She was known to be a mix of pegasus and unicorns both creatures of which had long been lost to time. She was no ordinary magical creature; she was a goddess of peace and tranquility. Seeing the world filled with trouble made her sad. It was then that she decided to create an ideal world void of the battles between dark and light and created a land barred away from the rest of the world. This place was called Equestria. In it she created the ponies. These were similar to the creatures she had known in her youth but were changed to fit her particular design. Between these ponies three races were made. Pegasus ponies that handled the skies and the weather therein and were responsible for making the seasons change. Unicorn ponies that could cast magic spells and summon and reshape things with the power of their will. And earth ponies that assisted in the care taking of the land. Protected from the nature of the outside world and under the ever watchful eye of Celestia nothing harmed the peace the ponies frolicked in.

Until her sister arrived. In her happiness and splendor she forgot of her sister Luna who existed symbiotically with her. Unlike her however Luna was a creature who contained discord and destruction. She hated Celestia's happy land and wished to undo the peace that resided. All Celestia could do was look on and plead while Luna tainted her ponies with the darkest emotions imaginable. Suddenly peace was broken as the ponies succumb to dark influences. Luna finding enjoyment in Celestia's sorrow cackled and laughed. But before she could gloat for long something neither of them expected to happen took place. The ponies were actually getting along. Despite no longer being pure of heart the ponies were able to live in relative peace. This filled Celestia with joy but angered Luna beyond belief. In her rage she cursed Celestia and her ponies and promised destruction and disaster someday in the future. She then took off for parts unknown. Celestia always hoped that Luna would never come back. But she knew in her heart that she will.

Oh creature of peace and tranquility, of discord and destruction. For you there will always be sorrow. But happiness can be found if one is willing to give it all away.
