> Throughout Equestrian Years > by Scratch Note > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > The Kingdom of Equestria - Final Battle > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The noises of war always made everyone cover their ears, trying to avoid a piercing headache. Sounds of yelling, shielding and commanding erupted within the war. During these times, it happened before what is known as the founding of the Roman Kingdom. When everyone fought there, they also sniffed the traces of blood everywhere across the fields surrounding the river, a disgusting smell of metal arising from every direction because of the vital fluids. The peasant horses lay far and wide at the river of Aniene. The corpses began growing like a deck of cards on top of one another. Obviously, every stallion ended up terribly frightened to the point where they sometimes couldn’t fight at all, yet the determination grew strong, no matter the harsh conditions. During that time, they didn’t have formations. Secondly, they barely used the equipment to do so, for they only recycled tin-made pugios from Neighn for the number of soldiers that they occupied. The resources that they could purchase across Europe ended up being there, but they lacked the workers. The peasants only wore tanned cloth. They didn’t have any symbols of neither the skull nor the moon and sun on their rags for their allegiance. During the clash of those born from there and those who came from Gernaneigh to take over, a soldier asked one of their own stallions, “Who do you believe in?” One of them said, “Discord.” One of the soldiers briskly ran to grab the soldier that exclaimed such thing, and they tightly tied his back on a pole with a piece of rope. “I’m sorry, but this has to happen, it’s just what we do,” they said. The other soldiers lit a small fire. That soldier screamed, he experienced slow and uneasy death while his body scorched, all that remained were his bones, ash, nothing else. But while the fire was still going, the Atlantic fish cooked up nicely into a nice, scrumptious meal for the army. After a while of just eating, the soldiers sighed, the fighting began once more. After hours of fighting, Luna drew her gladius towards Discord, the almighty Germanic tribe leader. An intensifying cry came from Luna as she sliced Discord’s head off, yelling from inside and out. After that, the head that assisted the body fell down to the ground, the body kept twitching. Luna stared at the head. It took a while for the body to stop spasming, but she had done it. She killed Discord once-and-for-all. They were going to become legends. The crowd of peasant soldiers cheered on, but they knew that they would never recover from this battle. Luna turned away from staring at the small patches of blood pouring out of the deceased head. “Sister, why do I feel this dispirited feeling?” Celestia replied optimistically, “if you think about it, I’m sure that’s because we haven’t made our own nation. We can now settle a treaty in which we’ll be able to establish a nation because we defeated him; so we’ll have our own luxury for now on provided by our peasants, who were born to do all the work for us while we relax!” Luna shrugged, “I suppose that’ll be the case.” Celestia, Luna, and Commander Sombra, Discord’s 2nd-in-command, signed the parchment labeled as The Italian Establishment Treaty as it stated that the Kingdom of Equestria shall be established under the advantages of peace and liberty. It formed the Kingdom of Equestria, an officially-recognized nation with the kingdom’s monarchy as its center, and the people encouraged that their accomplishments should be spread across Europe to be well-known by oral tradition. Luna tried to recall everything that happened before to piece it back together. > The Kingdom of Equestria - The Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before all of this, Celestia and Luna lived in a small orri, made entirely out of the collection of slate stone piled on top of each other. They hunted Atlantic salmon off of the East region. An hour later, they cooked the fish by a campfire. The smell of salmon made Luna tap her hooves impatiently. Celestia and Luna finally ate the salmon as they filled their mouths with a scrumptious taste of fish and seasoning, they never had food taste this good because any source of food wasn’t accessible. Luna ravaged through the whole meal in just one minute. Celestia looked at the field of tall grass and Italian stone pine trees. It rained heavily, but they noticed something coming towards them in the background. They saw a group of ponies as they waved hoof-held lanterns at them and the ponies yelled. Next, the group began to grow into a cluster, they appeared as the other villages from the north that aren’t recognized as official nations. They shouted, “We need to kill the beast!” Usually, these villages would come to Celestia only because they knew that they could trust her. One of which involves dealing with the Aram. Luna stood next to her. Celestia told her sister with a firm attitude, “sister, get back to the house, now, or you’ll be in big trouble.” “Why can’t I help you out? I’m as wise as you!” Celestia stomped her right front hoof, “fine, I’ll let you help me out this one time, but if you do that one more time, I’ll banish you to the moon where there’s literally no Oxygen for you to breathe there!” She took a deep breath, counting down from ten to one. She asked the peasants why they came to her dwelling this time, and they demanded that they should get rid of Discord as he destroyed their villages. She gulped, turned around to her sister, and to the peasants. “Would you like us to fight Discord with an army?” Celestia asked them. They replied with an accepting nod. Celestia accepted the offer, and the peasants told her that they’ll inform Discord that Celestia and Luna were declaring war on him. Celestia nodded and commented, “Of course.” She turned to Luna as she gave her a two-second glare. Her tail didn’t swish around. The peasants left the east region back to their region. Once they entered their house, Luna began to panic. “Who should we go to for guidance? We aren’t trained to fight in combat!” Luna cried as she kept going around in circles. She realized her legs jiggled and her eyes turned into pearl-white seashells. Then, Celestia looked at the paper rolls laying all across the birchwood table with the name Star Swirl The Bearded written at some points of it. ‘Star Swirl…’ Celestia hummed as she thought, ‘we could ask Star Swirl to guide us into teaching ourselves close-quarters combat, we might have to do it… it’s our only chance.’ Then she started to walk outside of the heritage, small cave until Luna asked Celestia why they’re leaving their family house as Luna grimly commented without hesitation. Celestia told her that they were going to find Star Swirl The Great as they began trotting on a small-scale gravel road that led throughout the entirety of Europe. > The Kingdom of Equestria - Blackout > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After quite a while of just walking, their eyes circled. Fortunately, they found a tavern, that tavern had a sign on the side of the building, naming the inn as Agaveria La Punta. Finally, the two entered the inn as multiple stallions sang Hebrew texts until they all focused their attention on the pairs. The group gulped, and they proceed to the bar where a large, red-furred stallion greeted the two. “What can I get for you two today?” Celestia asked politely, “can we have a glass of wine, please?” Suddenly, everyone started to laugh loads of times, Luna stared at everyone. Somehow, the rough, big one wasn’t laughing anyhow. “We don’t sell alcoholic wine here because we only serve alcoholic cider here, my name is Big Macintosh if you didn’t know.” “Well, my sister and I would like two bottles of alcoholic cider, please,” Celestia asked. “Coming right up!” Big Macintosh said as he never hesitated to pour the pair of drinks. Big Mac kindly handed over the cider to them, “here you go!” Luna drank the mug filled with peach-colored bubbles that were gurgling at a noticeable rate. Celestia hesitated to jug the mug, but she did it for the sake of her sister. They felt a bit of a wheeze in their stomach as if their body is allowing down at an alarming rate. Celestia and Luna got up from the stool, and they struggled to trot. They chuckled, “The moon is made from cheese!” They both groaned and fell to the floor as they saw just pitch-black.
