//------------------------------// // World's beginning // Story: Immortal Balance // by Koji //------------------------------// Chapter 1 World's beginning I'm telling all of you my story. Only you. There is a single reason behind this. The sisters don't know about you. If you don't want to know the true history of Equestria, don't continue. Otherwise, I think you'll enjoy this journey into my past. I want you to know my power. I defeated Discord, banished the sisters, and created the three in addition. They worked together to seal me in these glimmering prisons. I only humor them. If I chose to do so, I would return with a thought. I want to let them have their fun without me. I will tell you how I ended up in this prison, and what this prison is. It may be a long story, or it may not. The first thing I knew was the dark. There wasn't anything but the dark, I knew. I found something else. The white. I couldn't see the barrier between the white and the black, but I walked through it. It was no different from the dark, but it was the opposite in every way. The light did not blind me, but it did not allow me to see. I wanted to know what the light and dark would be like together. I thought about it, and suddenly an sphere made out of the dark formed in the light. It was beautiful. I could see where the light and dark connected where I had walked in. Only now was it clear. I walked back to the dark, I willed a sphere of light into it. It held the same beauty. A thought came upon me. What am I? I looked down at myself from above. I could see my own form. I could... almost see my own form. I walked into the connection of the light and dark. I could see my form. One half could only be defined in the light, as black as the dark, the other was as bright as the light, only visible in the dark. Four legs, hooves, large ears, mane, tail. I was equine. These words were not known by me, but I knew what they meant. More words came into my head. Sun, moon. I had made those. The black orb and the white orb. They weren't correct. They needed to be somewhere. This was nowhere. I knew that I had to make somewhere. A thought. I was standing on a surface that was neither the darkness nor the light. It went as far as I could see. It was curved. This is somewhere, I thought. I made a sky. I thought it sounded nice. The sun and moon went into the sky. Empty. This somewhere needed more. Another thought. Plants, earth, water, mountains, all of the components of a world. I made these. I knew what the words were. I stood in a field, grass underhoof, trees surrounded me. The blue sky made an endless ceiling above my head. Only the sun hung there. Something was missing. Clouds. Fluffy, white. No, they weren't only white, they were also gray and black. It needed something else. There was no sound. I made sound, along with its causes. Wind was created, starting a rustling of leaves. It made me content, but nothing could keep me content yet. There was no color. Color sounded like it was needed. The grass became green, as did the leaves. The trees became brown. The sky had already been colored, but the sun was made a brilliant yellow. So many colors, too many to describe. The world had life. No, there was no life, except for the plants. She came from behind me. The other from in front. She was white, pure as the light, and the other was as the darkness. They were small. The white one had a mane made of pure color, the dark one a mane dark as night. They were like the sun and moon I had created. The white one would be Celestia, the dark one Luna. Names, the same as words. I had no words to make myself. I know not how I created these things, or why I was here to do so. I awoke. I knew nothing. "Sister, I found someone! Come here sis!" The dark mare was tall. I was so much smaller than her. I could see the dark sky, the moon overhead. A large white mare came into my vision. "He seems to be just a small colt, but why is he in the forest?" She looked concerned. Who was I? Where was I? I groggily got to my feet and looked up into the eyes of the white mare. "Who are you?" I asked, staring into her eyes. "I am Celestia, and this is my sister, Luna. What might be your name?" She stared as deeply into my eyes as I dared stare into her's. "I don't know." "Why are you here?" She looked at me with confusion. "I don't know." That was the only answer I would give her. A faint rustle came from the bushes to my left, causing me to jump away in fear. A small head poked out. It was only a mouse. "I'm afraid. What am I here for? Why don't I remember anything but the names of things?" I wanted to flee from the two large mares, but I also wanted to be with them. The dark mare, Luna, went up to me and lay a hoof on my shoulder. "I don't know why, but we can help. You can be our little brother. We need the comfort of another in this lonely world." Her voice and her hoof reassured me, I started to cry. Luna leaned closer to me, and caught me in a calming hug. "Come foal, we will take you home with us." I liked Luna, and I had just met her. Celestia had stayed back from me after she had spoken, but Luna comforted me for no reason except for the fact that I needed it. She seemed sincere about her offer to make me her brother. I liked that idea. "I will. I want to be Luna's brother. I want to go home." She laughed and brought me to my feet. "Lets go then, little brother." Author's Note Before you say something like, "It's too short," or, "Why do you write like that?" I can give responses to both of those. (I'm not really expecting people to complain about it being short though. I don't think the story is good enough for that.) 1) Its short because it wants to be. 2) The writing is like that because it is from the perspective of one that is completely detached.
