Hey, guys, I just want to say that you are all really awesome and helpful. You've been supportive of me this far, and I feel like I know each one of you. I was blown away by how much you trust me to make the right decision. Well, now I'm going to trust you guys. Luna left it up to me whether I should let you guys know what's going on before she left, and I can't think for the life of me why I shouldn't. I hope I'm not putting you all at risk, but you've earned the truth.
It all started in Equestria, when a dark evil appeared. I can't speak his name because whenever anypony says his name in any place around the world, he hears it. I don't know whether that applies to typing out his name, but why risk it? Anyway, his magic was extremely powerful. He quickly took over the land by conquering the minds of the ponies. He turned them into something they weren't... something hideous and evil. He even caught the mane six from the TV show. Not even Discord could escape him! Basically, he's mind-controlling them. They're mindless monsters now that know nothing but wreaking carnage. Their destiny stolen. Their fate re-written to suit his messed up visions.
But Luna and Celestia were both able to resist him. For days, they pretended to be under his control and managed to fool him. Since they were the only ponies left in this dying world, it was up to them to save it and the ponies that they ruled. But how?
Celestia decided that the only way to return the ponies to their original mind was to wipe them of their memory and let them re-discover who they were.The problem was that the ponies couldn't discover that in Equestria anymore. And neither could the princesses show them without blowing their cover. He had spies everywhere, so it couldn't be there. It had to be here. Earth.
Luna had been searching under the cover of night for days for someone to send somepony to. Someone who would watch over them and keep them safe along with guiding them to discovering who they were meant to be. When she saw me making my wish, she knew I was the one. That's when she sent Fluttershy down to me, knowing I knew nothing about who she was and therefor would be the best choice. Fluttershy would have to find herself on her own, and a brony wouldn't let that happen slowly and naturally (sorry, guys, but you know you would try to interfere or tell her--with the best intensions, of course). So she was left with me to watch her while the princesses couldn't, hoping that Fluttershy would remember who she was inside one day.
Then she got her cutie mark. She discovered who she was all over again from scratch. She went from the monster he had turned her into to a kind, brave pony once more. And I didn't know any of this was going on.
Okay, one down and five to go. The remaining five were still angry beasts, so one week from when she had sent the first pony, she sent Pinkie Pie down here as well with the same hopes. First, she wiped Evil Pinkie Pie's memory and then she sent her to me. That's why neither pony had their cutie mark or knew who they were or what they were supposed to do when I found them. So every week--as long as the pony as regained her cutie mark and is themselves again--Luna sends another pony for me to guide.
I finally was told all this last night. At first, I was angry that she hadn't just told me in the beginning, but things wouldn't have happened the same way, and the plan might not have worked.
That means another pony is coming on Wednesday, and it's up to me to help her find who she is. Then, when all of the mane six know what's going on, they'll go back and use the Elements of Harmony (their go-to for every invasion it seems) and defeat that monstrous shadow once and for all. Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie know all of this as well, and now you're on board, too. The worst news of all of this is that as soon as he finds a way into this world, he's going to take over this one next. Why he would possibly want this world, I don't know.
Now, I don't think we have anything to worry about for a little while, and as long as the plan continues to go as it is, we should be able to beat him. That's just... a lot of pressure on me. Thank goodness I have my two ponies and my faithful readers to help me out with this.
Oh, and I hope I wouldn't have to tell you this, but I'll say it: Do NOT--repeat--do NOT tell anyone about this. That is the LAST thing we need right now.
I guess that's it. That's the situation and the plan. Now that I read back over previous posts, there was a lot of "foreshadowing" you could call it to this. The messages in my sleep, the ponies coming at night and from the moon... everything comes together. When I started this, I had no idea it would get this serious. But we have what we have, and there is no way I'm letting the princesses... or actually the whole of Equestria down! I'm just glad to finally know what's going on here.
I suddenly realized soon I'll have six ponies living under my roof... oh dear.
