Introduction

Ever wondered what happened in the past? What Equestria was like before it became what it is now? I was curious about it like you, once. I ended up knowing everything about it. But it wasn't from any old books! I was given the pleasure of living through everything that happened in my land. Do you want to experience the same adventure that I went through? The point is, I’m here to tell you everything! Let’s begin with a little bit of narration about my past.

A Pegasus, That’s the type of pony I am. A coal coated pony with a brown mane and a lighter streak of brown… Since I was a foal, I’ve dreamt of going to Cloudsdale to be a wonderbolt. Back in those times I lived in Canterlot. You’d never guess but I was one of Princess Twilight’s classmate back then, before she became an alicorn or even moved to ponyville. It was in magic kindergarten. I know… It’s only for unicorns or any other races with horns, but nothing in the school regulations said that pegasi can’t enroll there. Besides, I forced myself in magic kindergarten because there was no other kindergarten in Canterlot besides it… That time at lease.

In those times, every foal has a childhood friend. Of course, I had mine. Her name was Snow Angel. A white unicorn with long bangs and mane with faded blue in the edges as if it was dyed! She sounds a lot like twilight in a lot of ways, but I guess it’s because they’re both significant ponies to me (Twilight beings significant means I have a crush on her! Please don’t hate me!).

Angel, she was something… The first time I met her she just approached me during recess and asked why I wasn’t playing with the other fillies. Obviously because I was different! And then, out of the blue, she asked me if I can be her friend. I said yes, of course. She was a mystery… like the winter snow, filled with so many different meanings…

After graduating in magic kindergarten, most of my classmates went to ‘Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns’. I, on the other hoof, had my sight set for flight camp! As I was leaving, Angel was saddened. It was quite obvious that she wanted me to stay. As much as I’d like to, I had made up my mind. So I simply wrote to Snow Angel every week so that she wouldn’t be so desperate as to do what ‘Vinyl Scratch’ did!

When I arrived at flight camp, there was a welcome ceremony for the new fliers. Sitting on the stands were a few well known ponies. There was Spitfire and Vinyl, Soarin, Fleet foot and lastly, Princess Celestia. There was a lot of new and soon to be well known figures in the ceremony too! Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Guilda… After a week, I made a new friend with… Fluttershy! She’s always so timid and alone, so I decided to hang out with her. She’s often quiet at times but I bet she’s just shy.

2 weeks later, the coach had gave us a test that week. Apparently, Fluttershy didn’t do good… to be honest she was really awful! Even with the coach’s inspiring words and good diction of instruction, she still failed to finish. She was so scared of heights, her wings closed mid-flight! And to tell you, her test was the easiest! Of course, I can understand. The day after that, the coach gave her another shot. She failed of course… and got teased by the other fillies. Out of nowhere, Rainbow Dash appeared! She challenge the bullies to defend her new friends honour. In her own way of course… With a race!

At the race, one of my potion that I was supposed to give to my teacher as gift fell out of my saddle bag because of a hole in the bottom. At the same time, Fluttershy fell as well. The reason is because Rainbow and the bullies accidently hit her when they started. Apparently, my potion hit the ground and break. I realized that it was my butterfly calling potion which Snow Angel and I made for fun (I know, great invention huh?). Because of that, Fluttershy’s fall was broken by a colony of butterflies. I was relieved… I bet something bad would have happen if not for that potion! I wonder, was she just lucky that I dropped that potion? Or was it fate that saved her? I don’t think it’s a mere coincidence though. That was the first by the way…First time I touched history (If it wasn’t for that, it’ll only be the mane 5! Not 6…).

Now that you know a little more about me, I guess we can start here… Hi! My name is Temporal Walker! You can call me Walker. Don’t worry I’m not a zombie, nor am I an Exorcist (That’s from an anime if you don’t know). I’m a pegasus, as I told you… and you won’t believe that I’m also good at magic. (Reader: But, Walker, how can you be good at magic if you’re a Pegasus?) I’m good at potion brewing! But, we’ll get to that later (Wait... You already knew… Didn’t you? I gave quite a lot of clues in those first few paragraphs…). I’ve been everywhere! Or should I say everywhen…eh?!( ^_^ ) no? Ok.

I’ve met Discord, Clover the clever and even Starswirl the bearded! Seen Luna’s banishment, King Sombra's, and even saw Discord turn to stone. But I wouldn’t be travelling these time planes if not for one pony’s help. Oops! No spoilers!

Anyways, I wish to thank you for coming with me on this adventure. If there was one thing I wanted in life, it's that I wanted to share my adventures with someone like you... (It's me talking, not the freakin author!) Well, Let's start...
