On the First day, all was darkness. The pale alicorn paid no heed to this, however, and gathered dust and dirt, and with her magic, compressed it into a ball, as tightly as she could. Then, her work done, the alicorn laid down to sleep.
On the Second day, the alicorn created a ball of fire, and hung it in the sky over the ball of earth, bringing light. But the alicorn saw that there would need to be a time for work, and a time for sleep, and so she created the cycle. And upon seeing the night, she found that it was lacking in beauty, so she gathered up more dust, and made a smaller ball, and hung that on the opposite side of the world. And then she named the ball of fire Sol, and the smaller ball of earth Selene. And with her work done, the alicorn laid down to rest once more.
On the Third day, the alicorn awoke with the rising of Sol, and turned her attentions to the ball of earth she rested on. She gathered air around the ball, so that things could live. She created water, and poured it over the ball, and it formed oceans, lakes, rivers and streams. She created flora, too. Grass, trees, flowers and crops. She gathered many trees into one spot, and called it a forest, and the open spaces she called plains. And with her work once more finished, she once again rested.
On the Fourth Day, the alicorn awoke at night, as Selene shone dimly above her, and the alicorn saw that this was good. However, the sky was still too bare, and so she hung the stars in the sky, and one star, she placed over the top of the world, and made it shine brightly, so that none would ever lose their way. This done, the alicorn laid down to rest again in contentment.
On the Fifth Day, the alicorn awoke, and created fauna. She created the small bees and insects, the larger birds which would feed on those insects, the animals which would feed on the birds, and the animals which would feed on those animals. Nothing was created without purpose or reason. And as the air around the alicorn hummed with life, the alicorn once again laid down to rest.
On the Sixth day, the alicorn awoke to find a new presence in her world, one made of many different creatures, trying to undo what she had wrought. Their battle was long and fierce, and left a scar upon the earth, a scar of chaos magic, but she sealed the chaotic creature away in a stone statue. She placed this statue at the centre of the forest that had sprung up from the chaos magic scar on the land, and seeing the forest’s refusal to obey her commands, named it ‘Everfree’. And thus, exhausted and depleted, she once more laid down to rest.
On the Seventh day, the alicorn awoke, and created the griffins, regal hunters of the high peaks to the east. She created the dragons, noble and long-lived dwellers of the south hotlands. Then she created the ponies, divided into three races. Pegasi, the masters of the sky. Unicorns, the channelers of magic, and Earth Ponies, carers of the land. And thus, tired and exhausted from her seven days of labour, did the alicorn perform her last two acts. The first was that she cast a powerful spell over the ball, an enchantment that would allow each pony to find its special talent and be proud of it, and second was to name her creation ‘Equestria’. And thus, the alicorn faded into the magic of the world, to rest eternally.
Tomorrow would be the dawn of a new world.
