> The greatest creation in the world... (Tribute) > by Gray Compass > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Tribute > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute Long, long time ago, even before the creation of Equestria itself, there was me, and my sister Luna here, we were just walking down one of the long and lonely avenues of the cosmos, our flowing manes floating along with the invisible breeze of the stars. Luna was complaining about something; oh sweet Faust, she was such a whining filly sometimes. I didn't really cared about it. It was just one of those boring days; we walked, and walked a little bit more, talked with some of our neighborhood light-beings, gods, and etc... For then, we were just heading to our creation road. As every badass goddess would do, our hobby was the creation itself, but nonetheless, most of our creations were plainly useless, because there were no one to appreciate them. Except our parents, but you know... Family cheers are completely worthless. We crossed the infinite avenue of creation and watched our works; one worst than another. Little worlds populated by ridiculous creatures, failed ideas, broken machines. And how could we even think that a bipedal monkey would be a good idea? At least we made the wise decision of selling them for that guy that lives just across the street. But anyway, it was Luna's idea by the way. "... And then we said to daddy; 'but how can the other gods at school like me if I can't even create some stupid life form' and then he gave to me this ridiculous staff of 'eternal fire' and yadda yadda yadda" Luna babbled some nonsense while we walked. "...I mean, this can only create level one and two lifeforms! That Krishna boy that lives on the road of life has a gadget able to create level five life! Can you believe it-" All of a sudden, there shined a shiny creature... in the middle... of the cosmic path. Discord! This ridiculous being used to bully all the kids at school just because his father was the owner of the 'amazing' Entropy Corporation. Those stupid preppies! We stopped in our tracks. Discord grinned, and said: "Show me, the best creation in the universe, or I'll eat your horns!" Well, me and Luna, we look at each other, and we would tell him to buck off, but our beautiful and pristine celestial horns... "Mommy will kill us, if we do come back home with our horns eaten!" Luna hissed to me And we each said- "Okay." And we created the first thing that came to our heads, just so happened to be, the best creation in the world; It was the best thing in the universe! The cosmic way broke apart, tearing the own cosmos around it, giving space to a fully new world, it started like a little blue dot, but grown and inflated until it became a huge and majestic- Planet? Discord jaw almost hit the floor, oh yeah, daddy taught us well! Right in our faces spawned an incredible composition of beautiful valleys covered with almost infinite grasslands, mountains of gray rock, covered with a pure white thing that Luna subsequently called 'Snow' (I would call it 'frosty', but she disliked the idea). Vast and deep oceans, bubbling with— Life Forests reaching the horizon, large and blooming flowers, oh heavens, mamma would be so proud! And there were they; Tiny creatures, clearing the way through the forests, above the hills, in every conceivable place. They looked like us, in some aspects, but their resemblance didn't really mattered to us. Because it was our horns at stake! Look into my eyes and it's easy to see; one and one make two, two and one make a muffin. It was destiny! Once every hundred-thousand years or so; When my sun-butt shines and Luna goes to the moon, and the hay bucking grow. Needless to say; Discord was stunned, whip-crack went his draconequus tail, and the beast was gone. Gone to our newly created best creation in this world! Buck! But before he left, he asked us: "Be you Angelcorns??" And we say "Neigh; we are but Princesses!" Horseaples! This is not, the best creation in the world, no, Equestria is just a tribute, we couldn't remember, the best creation in the world. Oh, no, no. The first creation we had to force a reset, because there were some glitches. Equestria is just some kind of 'backup', yes, that's the exact word. This is just a copy, of the most incredible creation in the world, and all those pretty ponies, exist just because we decided to save our horns. Alright, they don't need to know about that; let's just say that they were the best motherbuckin' creation in this world, oh yes! And here I am , writing this story, maybe somepony in the future will read it, maybe, and maybe we have to reset the world again. Very likely. Besides, I'm so tired of this princess life, oh how I miss the inter-dimensional spa... Soon my dear body, you'll have that old ethereal ray massage you always enjoyed. What? Why do you think it is the purpose of having an apprentice? To share love and kindness? Ha! No darling, I just need someone to keep this place running while I'm out, and maybe somepony to have its body parts stolen by Discord. Anyway. And the peculiar thing my little ponies, is that all we said on that fateful cosmic way didn't actually sounded anything like this story. This is just a tribute, you gotta believe me, and I wish you were there, to have your horns stolen in our place! Oh god, good Faust, now we are stuck in this freaking pony land, and they treat us like princesses, can you believe it? And of course, if it wasn't for Discord's terrible joke, none of your fancy little hooves would exist. But there are some little things that are better kept hidden...
