Well, this a fan of MLP who has just started to watch the show. And I like what I see!

T

(prequel to “Escape From the Moon” and “The Mare From the Moon”): Well over a thousand years ago, before the founding of Equestria, the world was a different place. In time, a trio of ponies came together, and through the Fires of Friendship, created a nation. This story is well known.

Except some of that history has been swept under the rug. Now, the truth of what the world was like before Equestria’s founding is about to be revealed… including the role that Snöflinga the windigo played in it.

Looks interesting so far :moustache:

8895747

Who is looking to be the most interesting to you?

8896164
Might be Pansy or Cookie at the moment :moustache:

So many jerks, Platinum could almost be described as being the least punch worthy of them all... and thats saying something :trixieshiftleft:

And I'm really curious about Cookie's relationship to Puddinghead :moustache:

9974886
Oh trust me, you will want to punch her equally as the rest at the end.

9975581
I don't doubt it :coolphoto:

There was a groan, and then Cookie got to her hooves, Snöflinga getting up moments after. “Urgh… thanks for the save,” she said. Then she looked at the spot where the mast now lay, and narrowed her eyes. “Either this storm’s worse than I thought, or somepony wasn’t keeping this thing in good shape before they gave it to you,” she said as she pointed to the break. “That crack was not natural.”

Probably the latter then :trixieshiftleft:

“Ye-yes,” he said, holding his head higher. “A lot of them; all but three nervous. Those three are very confident and arrogant. Shhh- should we go and chhhh-check it out?”

Ah, those three...great :ajbemused:

“Until that day,” Hurricane said as he turned away from her, though not before Pansy caught him rolling his eyes, “It is our responsibility to see them brought up the proper way, right Puddinghead?”

So that's what's going on :trixieshiftleft:

That got to them to laugh maliciously before looking out the window as the storm started to pick up once more. “Ah, it seems that our fourth is finally here,” Platinum said with a relieved sigh, using her magic to pour a drink while opening the door to a large white stallion stepping through. “How are you, Snjóstormur?”

Well now, isn't that interesting... also a problem if he can sense Clover, Cookie, Pansy and Snöflinga :applejackunsure:

9988998

Changelings and Windigos can't sense each other.

That still leaves Clover, Cookie and Pansy :moustache:

“A lot of water, if I were to guess,” a female voice said, causing all four of them to look towards the source. “You four washed up on our shores after that terrible storm in your little mare’s bubble shield.” It was a middle-aged Earth pony mare with a glittering coat. “It was a very impressive spell, if you ask me.”

Welcome to the Crystal Empire I suppose :trollestia:

The mare raised an eyebrow at her. “Humbleness is one thing, child, but there’s nothing wrong in being proud of your accomplishments, as long as you don’t take it too far and be obnoxious about it.”

Yup :twilightsmile:

“But it was just one spell,” Clover started.

So ? :trixieshiftright:

Once he was certain she was gone, Pansy turned to the others. “We seriously need to talk.”

Understatement of the century :moustache:

Clover instantly winced, and lifted her cloak onto herself to cover up. “ Please don’t stare,” she asked softly, feeling embarrassed by revealing her unmarked flanks to these people. “I… I have tried everything to get my cutie mark, read countless books and tried all what they said but nothing has worked.” She then blinked and gave an annoyed look at Snöflinga. “I do appreciate what you are trying to do for me but…”

Have you tried hatching a dragon egg... or anything involving tree sap :trollestia:

Cookie, eying him, shook her head with a faint smile on her face. “You know, you could work wonders for therapists,” she said. “Ponies would pay a lot of bits to have their sadness or other bad feelings siphoned off.”

Unfortunately it's only a short term solution, as the reasons for that sadness remains :applejackunsure:

The three of them shared a look before shaking their heads, Pansy tapping the table with his hoof. “I had heard rumours about Hurricane, we all had. That his rise to power was too unnatural and his sudden successes were very surprising for a then somewhat competent captain. If what they said that about Glaucus a part of their alliance is true, then it could mean that the two were working together to boost themselves higher in the ranks the entire time during the war.”

I agree, Hurricane's success and rise to power sounded strange and the treaty that he and the similarly up and coming Glaucus just made it even more suspicious.

That's not even mentioning his removal of the pegasi nobility and their society suddenly becoming governed by the military that Hurrican had recently been made the highest ranking member of :moustache:

“I can easily see that bastard Puddinghead being apart of it,” Cookie snapped angrily, causing everyone to turn to her. The mare’s frown held for a moment before she let out a tired sigh and nodded her head towards Snöflinga with a smile on her face. “Years ago, Puddinghead was the king’s chancellor, but then he managed to usurp control of the kingdom by his endless propaganda and rallying the people against the royal family. 

Well yeah he's a chancellor, they're always conniving backstabbers intent on usurping control from the ruling family/body :moustache:

“Wait, are you saying you’re Princess Tough A. Cookie‽” Clover squeaked with surprise with the other mare nodding her head.

I'm gonna assume her full name is Tough Apple Cookie :trollestia:

“She was the youngest child born of her family and when she was our age, she demanded some land of her own. Her father rejected it, saying she was unfit and unready to rule so she killed her way to the top,” Clover said with a shrug.

Heh, classic :moustache:

Ye of different ways of walk Come forth with unity in your heart Reveal the way to the Eternal Fires Claim the powers the Fire gives and bring all under one

I think I get it, Platinum and the others found this and assumes it means that the "Fires" will give them power over others :pinkiecrazy:

9996462

And if she were an Apple, what would that mean?

9997319

That she's the likely ancestor of Applejack, but I also get the feeling that there is another other reason that you're asking :trixieshiftright:

They lifted off into the air with the wind pushing them off towards the open waters. Behind them, Clear Heart watched with a content smile on her face before her horn flared green and she teleported away.

Well now, isn't that interesting :trollestia:

Author's Note:
