This story is currently being rewritten (although the revamp is currently on hiatus).
All present chapters are subject to change!

From the initial settling of the world by the mighty alicorns to the fall of the cruel tyranny of Discord and the rise of Nightmare Moon, the world of ponies has always been dictated by the actions of the immortal ones.

Discord struggles to find meaning in a world belonging to his enemies, Luna despairs over the night that is so thoroughly detested by her peers, and Celestia must choose sides in a neverending battle between chaos and harmony, light and dark, and love and duty. This is their story.


This is the complete reboot of the very first story I wrote for FIMFiction. The original can be found here.

It was finished, but I had been kind of dissatisfied with it for some time. I got a writer's block with my other project, so I just went ahead and started redoing this one. If you're not interested in reading the new version here, I hope the notifications won't bother you too much.

this will be awesome to read a improved version :twilightsmile:

???

damn...why do the awsome charrecter always lose?

It was pretty nice coming back to this rewrite while waiting for Succession's release and looking for some inspiration to break my writer's block. Time for me to go be productive for once.

Alright, couldn't think of a symbol fitting Discord since he doesn't have a cutie mark, so I suppose Eris' Golden Apple of Discord will have to do. Also, it was kind of fun noticing that Ignis lives on the exact same diet as changelings... Coincidence?

Finally, just to shamelessly advertise my other stories: To the readers who have not yet noticed, Succession is finally out. It continues from where the old version of Genesis' epilogues left off, and makes use of the history as established in this story, so I guess you could call it a sequel. Might be worth a read.

Well took my forever to find this again, but it was worth it in the end...gotta say Celestia is even more of a bitch in this one it seems... it might just be her getting more dialogue but she really layed the hate on thick.

Ah well, she and Luna made Progress!

Hopefully she'll improve over time. At least, she seems less bitchy in my notes...
It might be a while before I continue this, though. I'm very wrapped up in my other writing project, and when I return to this, it'll probably be to spruce up the current chapters for EQD publishing.

Luna! No! (why are there no Luna pics for this?)

Mrmm. :c This chapter was so heartwarming, and then it had to end on that note. Poor Luna.

3856039 Oh yeah, that's right. People are still reading this thing. :twilightoops:
I'm really not that pleased with how this iteration of the story came out, so I'm kinda working on a remake. Again. :ajbemused:
Should probably put something in the description about it...
Sorry! :twilightblush: Story will be roughly the same, just with a different pacing.

Well, I'm reading your past version now (I wanted some backstory - I figured the dark alicorn of your other story, which I just found today, came from this), and this has definitely improved considerably. You've done an excellent job - especially since dealing with OC alicorns is a tricky business.

3856417 Black alicorn OC, mind you! :rainbowlaugh:
I still can't believe I haven't gotten a single complaint about that. Must be doing something right.

Wait, you mean you're reading the original original? In the Google docs? Huh... Isn't that horribly unformatted?

And thank you! The next version should be even better!

I came here looking for the story's old version to download the ebook of it and now I feel greatly upset, yet at the same time not so...
