A story of what Equestria was like before the princesses brought peace to the great land that is Equestria. The four main characters are all alicorns of my own creation that handle a certain aspect of life, much like how the Mane 6 make up parts of Friendship and harmony. There is actually two parts to this story, the major part is the actual story itself. The secondary is just there to tie everything in. The cutie mark crusaders are read a story at school by a mysterious old pony, sparking their thirst for more of it they do a bit of digging themselves and find out many things forgotten by the older ponies. Origin story that takes place before any of the actual MLP shows and or books. Because in all honesty there isn't enough of these out there.
