Lets Do This


We're going to build an exact copy of Ponyville... right over there! We've got less than a minute!

Discord plunges Equestria into chaos, and to stop him, Celestia and Luna must work together to find and harness an unexpected new source of magic: the Elements of Harmony.

A look at the early history of the Tree of Harmony, including the events of the Confused Era and its aftermath.

I really want to know more about Sacanas, particularly in your AU. Clearly, he was both a sorcerer and a seer of sorts, but when? And what was he? Was he a contemporary of Grogar at the height of his power? Or did he live sometime in the pre-Unification era? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS!

Hi, Eroraf86 --
Thanks, and rest assured, I'm not just name dropping here,
there is more to come about this mysterious Sorceror...
:twilightsmile:

Elegant enough to be canon...

Pardon me...more elegant than what canon usually is...

I lean toward the SFS animation, "Fall of the Crystal Empire", https://youtu.be/vL4q7BBzanI for the times then; but you have added to it perfectly.

Thanks much! I was aiming for a reasonable backstory that would fit the few scenes we're given in the show from that era (mainly Twilight's "visions" in S4's "Princess Twilight Sparkle"). I had to wring a lot out of the single line we're given for Discord's takeover ("he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness").

And yes, "Fall of the Crystal Empire" is very cool, brief as it is!

" So sorry, Princesses! But your Discord... is in another castle! "

Dang it Discord what do you think this is Super Mario Brothers

Glad somepony got that reference, now I don't feel nearly so old...
:twilightsmile:

So pretty much this is like a re tell of these events stories throughout the Thousand Years from the pillars trapping the shadow of pony in limbo and King sombra and The Disappearance of the Crystal Empire and a chaotic Discord reeking Havoc and then worse Princess Luna is started to feel like she's being ignored and feeling jealous towards Celestia then all the darkness and she became Nightmare Moon then Princess Celestia banishing her own sister and it all happens and a thousand years dang what of tough years and then we come up to the season 1 premiere of My Little Pony friendship is Magic still everything happens in that year so with that said basically this is where the Story begins anyway this was a pretty good retail of the story keep up the good work

I played so many Super Mario games throughout my years so I will know some reference of the game 😊

Damn, I really love this retelling of the past.

Thanks much! I was hoping this would appeal to readers who like to dig into the lore of the series, which is one of the things that makes FIM much more than "just another cartoon".
:twilightsmile:

Hmmm where you inspired by Loki series on Disney Plus for this story? Considering you used the word Nexus and multiple time lines. :twilightsmile:

Considering I haven't even seen any of it yet... that'd be a big no.
Why does no one ever suspect Lord Dunsany, huh?
And seriously, did no one notice the reference to the Conan movies at the end?

To be honest I have never watched the conan the barbarian movies. :twilightsheepish:

Oh. My. Goodness!

What a piece! This was wonderful! Oh, I loved every word of it. The sadness, the tragedy, the loss, the grief, the sheer sense of hopelessness. But the most tear-jerkering thing in this story is, of course, Celestia and Luna. We’ve spent almost 8000 words of this story establishing their strong, harmonious and loving bond, only for that bond to be violently ripped apart at the end. It was beautifully executed. Thank you for this masterpiece.
