Ponytale

Fallen Down

As they ate, the conversation soon drifted to how Frisk managed to trap themselves in the ruins. They thought about the best way to tell Tia and once again an idea they'd never thought of popped into their head. They told Tia someone had tricked them into doing the puzzle wrong, they couldn't read pony writing so how were they to know?

Tia asked if it was a pony who tricked them. They weren't sure how to respond, they weren't really sure if Tia would believe that it was a talking flower. The mare noticed their confusion and explained that other creatures lived alongside ponies ever since all of ponydom was trapped underground.

Wait, what?

Frisk was determined to know more and so, Tia told them a story of a land once Called Equestria.

Long ago, two races lived in harmony, Humans and Ponies. They shared technology, culture and magic across their two kingdoms.

As time wore on the two sisters who ruled the ponies grew further apart, until the youngest was tainted by darkness and refused to fulfil her royal duty. Despite the elder sister pleading with her to show MERCY, a war broke out between the two with the humans caught in the crossfire.

The humans refused to remain idle and rose up. Their Determination drove the ponies deep underground and sealed them in with a magic spell.

All of ponydom was afraid, for they soon discovered they were not alone. In the war against Equestria, other kingdoms soon followed the ponies down underground, where they have all remained ever since.

Tia finished the tale by explaining that the other races did not get along well with ponies and though ponies were harmless enough, a griffin or dragon might not view a human in the best light. Frisk replied that they would try their best to bring peace to all the kingdoms!

It was only fair after all, humans were big meanie pants for trapping everyone underground.

Tia laughed and praised their enthusiasm. The pair packed up their things and prepared to leave but not before Frisk asked how to solve the puzzle.
