//------------------------------// // Once Upon a Time // Story: Notosprey: True Pacifist // by SanikMaynze //------------------------------// Long ago, the Earth was populated by many diffrent, interesting, and unique creatures. However, there was two that rained supreme over the others: HUMANS and PONIES The two species were once allies, with the two species constantly trading with eachother and helping keep their homes safe. However, for a reason still unknown, war broke out between them. Unfortunately for the humans, the ponies magical abilitys far surpassed their current technology. As a final attempt at winning, the humans did something terrible. The leader of the humans decided to perform a ritual to give his son an immense ammount of magical power to help give them an advantage. Although his ritual did work, it corrupted the boys mind and soul, turning him into a powerful genocidal maniac. The boy immediatly started wiping out every living creature they saw, completely decimating both the humans and ponies population greatly. While it was seemingly over for the humans, seven ponies known as the Seven Souls of Harmony had an idea on how to save the remaining ponies. The Seven Souls were a group of ponies whos friendships were so strong, that it greatly enhanced their souls power. This allowed them to do magic way stronger than any other ponies. They knew that the boys new magical abilitys, despite being very powerful, could not match the power of theirs. So they led the remaining ponies into a hidden underground cave system, and made a magical barrier around it that only they could destroy. The ponies, happy to finally be safe, rebuilt society. Despite everything that had happened, it seemed that the future was bright for the ponies. But one day, over a decade since the war, six of the Seven Souls went missing. The ponies made several search efforts, but they were never found. One of their searches, however, introduced the ponies to an even larger cave system. The ponies, with no other option left, explored the new caves to look for them. It has been over a hundred years since then. The ponies moved over to the new caves (now named New Equestria) while the last remaining of the Seven Souls stayed in the Seven Souls old castle. The ponies had lost all hope that they'd ever return to the surface. Unless they could somehow make a new Seven Souls, they were trapped down there forever. Unknown to them, however, a new source of hope was coming. Just not in the way they would have expected... UNNAMED MOUNTAIN, 202X On a peaceful summer day, a human child named Caddy was climbing up a mysterious mountain, which was known to emit some sort of weird energy that scientists couldn't identify. Caddy was curious and was determined to find out what it was. He reached a flat area of the mountain, and decided to take a short break. The area was covered in vines growing out from an old tree, and it had a massive hole near the middle of it. Caddys curiosity had once again taken over, as he went over to the hole to see what was down it. As he made his way over to the hole, he wasn't looking where he was going, and tripped on one of the vines. He screamed as he starting falling down the hole. After a full minute of falling, Caddy suddenly landed on an extremely soft patch of flowers, knocking him out instead of killing him. And so the story begins...
