The birth of Equestria ===================== Within 55 millenniums the little fausticorn now in her late teens had begun to learn, to write and create, she had written countless pages of words; they tell of a beautiful world, with creatures just like her. Over the years a strange voice has taken to calling the little pony; Fausticorn or by her now well known name, Writing Glory. The fausticorn talks to this voice everyday calling her, Bonnie or Bonniecorn. Writing Glory wanders the white plane of the universe thinking, wondering, writing whatever comes to her mind. And asking questions that she knows the answers to. "Writing again little one?" Writing Glory nods. "It's fun to write, you can think of something and make stories about it." "I see. You write everyday, barely doing anything to exercise your mind." Writing Glory chuckles. "You haven't given me anything to exercise about." Writing Glory stops writing, closes her eyes for a moment then reopens them. Turning to another page she begins writing down words that relate to beauty, flowers, grass, trees all sorts of things, she gets an idea. "Do you feel alone little one?" "I do... there's no pony here... just white space..." the Fausticorn kicks at the ground looking down with a dull expression. She looks at her book and wonders, thinking, pondering, and envisioning. "Could i use this book, to create worlds?" "You can create anything if you believe. All your ideas are contained within the very pages of that book. I do not know if you are able to create worlds, but you won't know until you try." The fausticorn lights her horn which glows a bright light blue, the alicorn picks up the book and opens it. She reads through the pages then looks at the white empty space around her, she charges her horn up spreads her wings out, lifts up her left front leg, her eyes begin to glow white and with that she throws her head back looking skyward as her horn begins to create darkness around her. The once white empty space became pitch black, dark, and much much colder, the only source of light in this new dimension was coming from Writing Glories horn. Half an hour later, her horn stops glowing as does her eyes. She collapses weakly, panting, trying her best to catch as much breath as possible. It isn't long until she is able to stand, suddenly, she starts floating in mid air, losing breath quickly, she soon becomes blinded by the darkness. "This isn't right... there isn't any air... no lights... There should be stars." With those words, the alicorn re-ignites her horn and creates a large protective sphere around her. not long after that, gasses and new dark matter begin to convene into one spot beneath Writing Glory. All of it is sucked into this one spot forming an unstable ball of fire with the explosive force of five mega nuclear bombs. Mere moments later Writing Glory watches from a safe distance the beginning of the universe. The big bang. The explosion creates powerful waves and tremors of magic, gas and numerous other things associated with science. The Fausticorn sits down and watches for countless centuries as the stars are born. and the universe forms, though no Planets have formed, nor have the galaxies been pulled into existence. At this time Writing Glory can only watch the birth of the universe. "Your creativity is incredible Writing Glory. But what are you planning? What are you doing that would require so many years, so many centuries to create something of this magnitude?" The Fausticorn smiles warmly for the first time in her life. She stands up and see an explosion in a nebula south of the sphere. "Have you ever thought of doing something greater then sitting around writing books? the last few years of writing and thinking, I conceived something... something beautiful, something amazing. I wish to breath Life into this universe, as well as provide many mysteries for my creations to discover. I'm so alone out here after all..." Writing Glory opens the book sitting beside her and reads a page that will detail the next step in the creation of her universe. ~~~ A millennium had passed since the universe was created. The Fausticorn stood atop a great meteor and began to create a galaxy out of young stars, ones that had billions of years of life in them, many of the stars became the constellations Twilight Sparkle studies in the present day. The mare of creation then pulls dozens and dozens of asteroids together and puts them together creating a gigantic planetized sphere. the spherical planetoid gets larger and larger until all the rocks necessary to make the Planet are all used up. Writing Glory then levitates or flies over to a giant hole in the sphere, ignites her horn once more and fires a massive ball of fire into it circular hole which then becomes the core of the planet. The fausticorn smiles happily. "It looks wonderful Fausticorn, though i do have an important question." Writing Glory turns to the apparition of the Bonniecorn "Whats the matter?" "What do you intend to do once the world is created?" Writing Glory pauses for a second then looks back at the still unfinished world. "I guess i'll... let everypony live their lives." The fausticorn smiles and gets back to work, creating mountains, and all sorts of places with her magic, but all of her work is about to be halted. one of the constellations, The cobra, attacks Writing Glory before she had time to deflect it's poisonous breath. But through some unknown reason The Fausticorn is unaffected by the snake and so a magical battle begins. The young mare flies around the giant avoiding it's tail fangs and gaze. "I will devour you!!" The serpent hissed. "Stop please, i do not wish to fight." "Then ssso be it" The Serpent attempts to swallow Writing Glory whole the only problem is catching her. She spins around the Serpent whom is following her, then nose dives beneath the monster, the serpent, preoccupied with chasing the alicorn does not realize it is being tied up and loops through a hole, literally tying the snake into a knot. "I win" "Hahahahahahaha Don't be so sure!" the Serpent breaks free and spreads it's ribs open to reveal it's hood. It then whips and pummels The fausticorn with it's tail. Writing Glory is unable to avoid or get away from the onslaught of attacks. She attempts to fire a beam at it only for her horn to stop glowing. The naga opens it's jaws, drooling green saliva, it's eyes glow emerald green as do the markings on it's hood. It fires a laser at the young mare but it is blocked, deflected by the Bonniecorn herself. "You Will not harm her any further Snake!" "Challenging me will be your undoing alicorn!" The serpent roars and launches itself at Bonniecorn, Bonnie flies upward, the serpent in pursuit, she fires beams at it from her horn, with the snake firing it's poison. Bonnie avoids the beasts attacks swiftly and hides amongst some asteroids. "Come out come out where ever you are." The cobra flickers its tongue slithering around the asteroids, Bonnie sweats and pants, she quickly pokes her head out to the side to see where Cobra is, only to be caught off guard by the beast. Bonnie backs away from the monster, firing all shes got at it, within moments Bonnie is impaled by the snakes needle like tail, catching Writing Glory's attention as well as making the serpent grin in victory. Bonnie coughs up blood then looks at Writing Glory. Bonnie and the fausticorn look at each other for a moment until Bonnie offers and a final smile then closes her eyes. Bonnie then disappears, causing Writing Glory to be wracked with grief and sadness at the loss of her only friend. The fausticorn angrily screams and charges at the serpent in tears. She jumps at the monster and uses magic to launch herself toward her opponent, her horn impales and goes deep into it's flesh, piercing the leviathans central heart. They hurtle toward the bare planet crashing down onto it following a large explosion. 7 days later, and Writing Glory awakens to find that the planet is much much different then it was before, there are rivers, lakes trees, fresh air, snow, grass, clouds, a clear blue sky, oceans. meadows, and grand forests, the whole planet had changed. It had become the dream world Writing Glory had envisioned. as she stands. She walks toward the edge of the mountain and see's waterfalls, waterfalls that meet a large lake at the bottom. she looks behind her and notices that the top of this mountain has much magical energy. that will prove useful in the creation of this new world. "I will continue my dream Bonnie. I will breath life in my own image. A peaceful world i can call... home." ~~~ "Is that all to the story Princess?" "No Twilight Sparkle, There is more to this tale then you could ever imagine." Spike walks in and stretches, yawning as he does. He sits beside Twilight. "Sorry i'm late everypony, i dozed off while dusting and needed to ask Soarin where you two went." he yawns once more. Celestia waits for Twilight and Spike to get settled before continuing. Princess Celestia begins to tell Twilight and Spike how the creatures of the world and Equestria came to be, as well as the ancient language of Equestria. Spike and Twilight pay close attention. =====================================================================
