Once upon a time there was a kingdom full of harmony. The Kingdom was ruled by two beautiful sisters: One that was older and ruled the sun while the other was smaller, ruling the night and controlling the moon. Each were powerful in nature; possessing the magical powers of the unicorns, the strength of an earth pony, and the speed and flight of a pegasus. Both were loved, but their past was a shroud of mystery. Scientists today can't figure what happened in the past with Princess Sun and Moon, but its been stated that their past must be somewhere in the relics that must be persevered. Still, its known enough that said rulers created two more princesses. One was earlier than the other:Princess of love and Princess of Friendship. (Magic)
The first to be made was the Princess of Love, Crystal. While her real name was lost over the centuries and was shrouded by her deed that she committed, her rule was never forgotten, giving her the name Crystal in response. She was an orphaned pegasus that was cared for by earth ponies when she learned what love meant, causing the ascension to be like Sun and Moon.
The second didn't have her life as hard-her struggles put forth more as building blocks for her ascension. She was the Princess of Friendship, Magic. Her name, too, was gone-Crystal's anger made sure of that. Magic was a unicorn, loved by her family and cherished by her mentor, the Sun herself. She was never in the same position as Crystal. Still, Crystal cared for Magic deeply. That's when the problems became evident:the ascension.
"Why didn't she listen?" Crystal had cried. After Magic's ascension, years pass and envy wrapped itself around her. Crystal never had been popular despite her views-Magic's always been so, however. Magic saved so many, so much like Sun and Moon, it was reminiscent. Even before, Magic never struggled. She had those that cared enough. Crystal did not. This was apparent for Crystal lost what she tried so hard to keep:her precious kingdom and family. Crystal lacked the strength to endure the trauma that was needed to for her very ponies do to her very untimely position. She was with foal-her energy was always drained quickly. Scientists and philosophers speculate that this would lead to her downfall, yet what caused her to lose everything was a mystery to even them. Whether the end result was caused by Magic's delay was debatable too, but the end is not debatable.
Crystal's despair was the end result. With her unborn foal gone and her husband lost, she was alone. The very ponies that called her their Princess shunned her away after the ordeal, causing her despair to worsen. With this, something snapped in the embodiment of love's heart, fracturing her beautiful nature and creating a wrathful mare in its place. That mare's name was Fractured Crystal. With her powers, she twisted the minds of the ponies that used to bow down to her, creating ponies that were hollow, dead. These ponies were poison, their bodies broken and battered from mauling one another as they spread, dividing and creating mass crowds. They feasted on ponies, searching for something that they lack, creating a pandemonium.They were sucked of all that created them in the first place, in essence, creating nothing but a rotting corpse in their wake. She wanted to remove all the love she could-eliminating all she thought that didn't deserve what she had once given them, and with her army, she did just that.How her plan worked, no pony would manage to state. Once Sun and Moon had fallen, the kingdom of harmony that was fell as well, leaving it in chaos right before their eyes.
"We won't let you get away with this!" Try with all her might, not even Magic had the abilities to defeat that wrathful mare with only revenge on her mind. With an overpowering blow, she turned what she used to dub her sister into a statue cold as ice. With Magic gone, her army triumphed, depleting the land of the ponies it inhabited.
This lasted for years before three ponies, each pony of the three races:earth, pegasus, and unicorn. Their hearts were filled with such determination, they started to fix all the damage that was crafted by Fractured's destruction. Fractured, however, didn't like their ongoing determination. No matter how hard she tried, their bonds were too strong to be severed. With one last attempt, Fractured gave out a powerful burst of magic that would, in normal circumstances, cause the victim to turn into a hideous beast that longed for what it lacks forever more. Yet, their bonds were so strong, it negated the magical surge of power. Together, they created such a force that made that revenge driven mare convert back to the mare that she was, draining her of what made her evil.
With this, the three ponies rose up, their own magic allowing them to move forward in their lives:ascension. They created a harmony that was once a fantasy. For this, all the ponies are grateful, all except for Crystal. She was no longer her old self, however, guilt gripped her with an iron hoof. She begged and pleaded with the three ponies, wishing for her to end. However, the three refused so, instead, they removed her precious wings and horn, forever casting her forever as an earth pony, making her mortal again.
"We shall not turn you to stone," The first princess states, she was the original pegasus pony. "You will never learn your lesson that way."
"We have taken your gifts away, your precious wings and horn are lost forever," The second princess, the original unicorn, had stated. "The end result will vary based on your...results."
"From this, you'll be greeted with the horror you had caused throughout your ruling. You will truly learn, then, what it means to be repentant." The final princess finalized, she was the earth pony of the group originally.
"We'll give you a year and a day to answer this question with great repentant. This journey is long, don't consider yourself with luck."
"What is it that a pony misses most?" The First gave the question.
"If you are repentant, you will be free of the chains. You will fix what you have done and no more guilt to be had." The Third Princess had said. "However, if you are not, you will always bear the marks of what you have done for years to come. Not even death will welcome you." Crystal scanned far and wide, months on end to get the answer, yet none of these answers were ever the same. Some missed family while others missed wealth---
"Script Spell!" She sighs, turning in her bed to face the door. "You'll miss the sessions at this rate!"
"Don't worry, Mama!" She answered smiling, still peeved. Interruptions were one thing, but when its done with her myths its another. Particularly, when they have historical meaning. She jumped from the bare bed and brushed her light blue and pink mane down, but it popped up again. She didn't continue the hair battle like always, instead she rushed away. "I'll be out here faster than you can say 'Mythology!'"
"At this rate, I can say that 20 times!" Her mother complained, laughing all the while. "Here you go, make sure you don't go too far in trying to make an impression."
"I don't need to, I'm already friends with the Princess I'm working with~" She gave a sing song voice to her mother before taking the bagged lunch in her mouth and then her parcel that she stuffed prior.
"Make sure you don't ask about-" Script interrupted before rolling her eyes at the antics.
"But its just one question!" Script Spell said exasperated. "It wasn't overwhelming when I asked about the other!" The mother shook her head once more before pushing her forward.
"Go on, just...don't be too head strong okay? Be honored, you've been selected to be under her wing. I've heard that's quite a difficult task, particularly for her. Be careful, okay?" Script waved off, smiling as she had.
"I will Mama! Be back later!" She smiled, rushing to the station she was suppose to go. She won't like it if she was late! What would she say? Would she hate her or...?
'Please don't be late, please--' "OOF!" Script stopped in mid run as she toppled over a mare in the progress. "Excuse me-your not supposed to be here!"
"Such rudeness coming from a small filly no less!" Script Spell backed off after helping the mare before her eyes widen. The mare in question was purple yet with a pink tinged maned with elegant and dainty curls that took time to create, her coat was a sparkling white as she dusted herself off. "Its taken time to create such beauty, I hope I'm not dirty! I can't imagine being dirty-I shiver from the thought!" She even sounded strange to Script Spell.
"I can't believe your thinking of that at a time like this!" The second mare yelled towards the first. She was vastly different with her blue coat and prisma mane. She was also a pegasus, something the other mare was not. Then there were two more mares, one hopping like a madmare and the other standing quietly to the side, looking down like she did something wrong. The two final mares ended the quarrel between the first and second before they turned their gaze onto Script Spell. One of them even had both pairs: a set of wings and a horn.
"Who are you ponies?" Script asked before her eyes widen, looking towards two ponies in particular.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends:Apple Jack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Its nice to meet you." The lavender mare offered her hoof to her, but she backed away again. "Can you tell us where we are?"
"Your in Hoofington Station. Fillies and colts travel back and forth to get to school and other places, " She answered, her voice wavering. "Your not allowed to be here-its not a place for mares and stallions to be.I'm surprised none of you heard of it-its been around for a long time."
"None of that makes sense!" 'Rainbow Dash countered. "Why haven't we heard of this?"
"Its because we aren't from here..." Twilight's face grew concerned as she levitated a map, inspecting it first before continuing. "Look-there isn't even a Ponyville destination!"
"Pony-what?" Script asked again. "What's a Ponyville? I think I heard something in a myth before-I was told only once, I don't know more than that!" Rarity fainted after hearing the words escape-Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy took hold of her instantly while one gave off a squeak.
"Look, I've got to leave-I'm sure you know why already! Everypony has by now!" She squeaked as she smiled.
"We'll be having a "WELCOME PARTY" when your back!" Pinkie Pie gave a laugh before she went into a fit of giggles. Apple Jack shook her head, turning towards her once more.
"We need your help, you can't just expect-"
"Wait, none of you--? You really MUST not be from anywhere here!" Script Spell frowned deeply before she grew in spirit. "I'm going to meet with Princess Scootaloo today! I can't wait-I've been BUZZZIINGGGG with excitement! She asked ME to be HER student! That's just a special privileged right there! Nopony's been under her wing before-Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle teach and she does too but this is TOTALLY different!"
"Princess Scootaloo?!"
