> Celestia the human history > by ultrasolarflare > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a bright sunny day in the city of Canterlot. As it had been in Equestria for the last thousand years. Situated on a mountain near the coast. Canterlot was a shining beacon to the ponies in Equestria. A symbol of both the protection of the royal sisters to their subjects. To the many migrants and guests to Equestria, a symbol of welcome.  In castle Canterlot in one of the side rooms stood a familiar Alicorn. She stood seven foot one in height, her fur was white and it shone with a rare brilliance. Her mane and tail was multicolored light blue lime green azure and pink. Her horn was long and spiraled her wings large and majestic. She wore a red t-shirt and relaxation pants But her most recognizable feature was a mark upon the hip of her relaxation pants, depicting the very sun she controlled. But instead of the expected quadrupedal pony everyone knew from the show, This celestia was anthropomorphic.  This was princess Celestia regent of the sun co-ruler of Equestria. She sat upon a comfortable cushion her legs crossed. She was also enjoying a slice of blueberry cake on her cheat day. Unlike what everyone thought she liked keeping a healthy lifestyle. She ate healthier foods she worked out at five every morning, had a lot of activity breaks and she kept in her grand voluptuous shape. Not that she was mad at the rumors of her being a cake-o-holic in fact she found them quite funny. Celestia was currently lost in her own world.  She remembered Equestria’s beginning when she, her sister Luna and her niece Cadence crafted the very land within the center of the Bermuda Triangle. Then they brought seeds from multiple places in the world.making many of the many fruit trees and garden vegetables and many species of flowers. They then began migrating many animal species to populate the land. They then made a little cottage for them to live in when they vacationed here. The appearance of Earth ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi was completely unexpected. But due to their benevolence they allowed the ponies to begin making a civilization.  The first peaceful hundred years before the appearance of Discord. The war against discord and victory due to the Elements of Harmony. Celestia paused for a moment, Before remembering having to banish her sister to stop her eternal night. But all of that was common knowledge. However in this time in age Celestia along with Luna decided to finally disengage the cloud wall and opened themselves up to the world. Soon after they joined the united nations. Cadence representing the ponies on the seat made for Equestria.  This also led to leaps of advancement in Equestria’s technology and knowledge. For many ponies this was a miracle.  For now she had good relations with the U.S. Germany, France, England, Spain, and Australia promoting good trade. Since Equestria was so abundant in gems its what was traded to her allies for practically everything from electronics, gasoline, foreign food, hardware, software, and everything else for a thriving modern equestria. The big difference between the show Equestria and this Equestria was of course the modern conveniences. Usable for both ponies and every other creature that inhabited this great land.  Of course Celestia’s thoughts then turned towards the more troublesome part. Becoming allies with said countries had of course strained relationships with Russia Syria and some parts of Asia. Celestia wasn’t so worried about any sort of nuclear threat she could just pull all of the molecules apart from every piece of the missile and just dispense it in space with her magic.  No the thing she was worried about were her allies they all wanted generally the same thing. Peace but with the strained relations with Russia, Syria, and Asia it was only a matter of time before they all pulled the nuclear trigger. Celestia was worried she would not be able to stop all of the missiles. Even with the help from Luna and Cadence. It was one of her nightmares that Luna had to chase away multiple nights. Celestia then turned her thoughts towards current events. Recently to her pride Twilight and her friends had found a way to bring the Pillars of Equestria back. while at the same time free Stygan from his inner darkness. This to her was a sign that it was time. Time for what you ask? Why time to finally allow her student to know everything about her. Celestia’s entire history. Beginning to end, no redirects, no fabrications every single secret laid bare. Not a time for her to take over ruling equestria. Don’t get her wrong if this were a world where peace reigned. then she would be willing to give the rule to twilight. Go back to the days where she could explore the world, see new things, experience grand adventures. But because of the constant hostilities between the nations she could not budge an inch. Her ponies safety, peace, and prosperity came first. Despite how she felt about stuffy nobles, and whiney nephews. She had sent a letter to twilight just this morning so that she could get the key and begin. Speaking of twilight. The door suddenly opened and a familiar purple alicorn then walked through the door. Followed by Five other ponies  The Alicorn in question was five foot five, had lavender fur and had a dark blue mane and tail with a magenta stripe. She wore a blue sweater vest, with a white dress shirt underneath. She also wore a dark purple skirt. Her cutie mark depicted a purple star, with five little white stars around it.  This was Celestia’s friend and best student Twilight sparkle the princess of friendship. The next pony was an Earth pony of five foot three. With light pink fur and a darker pink mane and tail that looked like cotton candy. She wore a light blue t-shirt and blue jean shorts. Her cutie mark was three light blue balloons this was Pinkie Pie. The one next to her was another Earth pony of five foot ten making her the tallest of the six. with orange fur and a blond mane and tail put up in a ponytail (ha) with red hair bands. She wore a stetson and a flannel shirt and blue torn up jean shorts; her cutie mark was of three apples. This was Applejack. The next pony was a Pegasus of five foot 3. with cyan fur and a rainbow mane and tail she wore a white sleeveless shirt and athletic shorts. Her cutie mark depicted a rainbow lightning bolt coming out of a cloud. This was Rainbow Dash. The next pony was a unicorn of five foot seven. with pearl white fur and a royal purple,curled mane and tail she wore a black blouse and dark purple diamond studded skirt. Her cutie mark depicted three diamonds. This was rarity. The final pony was another pegasus; this one was five foot four with yellow fur with light pink hair. She was wearing a green turtle neck with a long pink skirt. Her cutie mark depicted three pink butterflies this was Fluttershy. All of those ponies stood before celestia. Their expressions were ones of curiosity of why Celestia had called them up to Canterlot to meet with her. “We’re here Princess, what is it that you wanted to speak to us about?” asked Twilight. “I’m glad you came at such short notice. It has come to my attention that you recently have helped  Stygian be freed from his inner darkness. I thank you all for this.” said Celestia “We couldn’t have stood there and done nothing everypony deserves a second chance.” said Twilight Celestia just smiled at Twilight, Her student had come so far from being a Unicorn too focused on her studies, to being the pathfinder to true friendship. Celestia couldn’t be more proud. “That is why I am convinced that you are now ready, to learn everything about me.” said Celestia  Her horn then ignited in its golden aura. A drawer opened in her dresser with a click and out levitated a special key.  The key in question was made out of gold in the shape of the sun  “In the unused dungeon past the fifth cell there is a keyhole in the wall. Inside is every journal I had written in. all two thousand and twenty years of my life lies inside. You and your friends will finally learn about me.” said Celestia Stars shown in twilights eyes. Learning about her mentor? Finding out how she had started? It would be such a unique experience she took the key eagerly. While stomping her hooves excitedly  “Thank you Princess this will be so great. In the dungeon It took a little bit but they had eventually found the keyhole when they put the key. In the wall slid down inside was a vast library teeming with books all of them filled with the years of Celestia’s life. Twilight was beside herself with glee seeing all of them. While Rainbow and Applejack groaned with exasperation.  “Its going to take forever to read all of these.” said Rainbow  “Don’t worry rainbow I happened to learn a good spell for all of these” said Twilight lighting her horn in a magenta hue Instantly the words for the first one hundred books floated out of the dusty volumes and began to construct a scene one of a town with what looked like a holographic Celestia standing there. Twilight didn’t expect the holo-Celestia to be there, As far as she knew her spell just animated what was written and put it into the room. As far as she was aware that was it. The holo-Celestia then began to speak  “To whom it may concern greetings and welcome. this secret Library contains every single year In my two Thousand and Twenty years of life.” The Holo-Celestia then smiled at the six. “I know you are here because my real self believed you to be trustworthy, Because of that trust, you can now know this knowledge. As you hear these details,  It may change many of your views of how Equestria, The continent of Equis even was made. Please be aware that everything here is not happening in the here and now. As much as you may want to change things for the better it cannot happen. These events happened in the past after all. So Please listen and enjoy Celestia the human history
