Towering above the land of Equestria, perched on a lone peak, sat Canterlot Castle, its white walls and glittering spires reflecting the majesty of the setting sun. The light shone through the stained glass windows and into the throne room illuminating the inside of the castle with all the colors of the rainbow. A young princess stood there and watched the bright display in silence. The light of a low hanging sun almost caused the beautiful artwork of the windows to come to life.

The history of Equestria was recorded here from the ancient cold days before warmth and harmony to the time of the young princess's own adventures with her best friends. The way the light illuminated the chronicles was a reminder of her own important position in history, which made her slightly nervous. She looked closer at the windows displaying the ancient past. Most of the events depicted she had read about in her books, although some she did not recognized from her studies.

"Twilight…..why aren't you with your friends?" The majestic princess of the day said softly as she joined Twilight in the throne room. "Pinkie Pie had informed me that she had planned a spectacular post-coronation party. You don't want to miss it do you?"

"No of course not Princess. I was just looking at the windows, they are amazing at this time of day." Celestia smiled as Twilight continued to speak. "I…was wondering though. There are some events that i'm not familiar with." She said pointing to a window that depicted five characters she was not familiar with. "I'm not surprised Twilight, much history from that time has been lost. Nopony remains that remembers……save for two."

Twilight looked up at the princess "You?" "Yes…and Luna, we were all witness to the Genesis of Harmony.", Celestia replied. Twilight looked at the windows and realized that she could not see the story of the Elements.
"Princess……I thought that you and Luna were the first ones to use the elements." Celestia chuckled, "Well yes….but not exactly. You'd probably be surprised to hear that you and your friends were not the first bearers of the Elements."

The young princess was slightly dumbfounded, she thought she had read and re-read the history of Equestria several times over. Why was there no mention of this? "You look confused Twilight….maybe I should tell you the story. Or most of what I remember after I banged my head." The princess chuckled again. "This was….over one thousand years ago so I must have a moment to collect my thoughts. I will only tell you the first part so not to delay Miss Pie's party any longer." Celestia paused for a moment

"Do you remember the story of the first founding of Equestria?" The young student nodded and spoke, "Yes! And the kingdom lasted for nearly a century before tragedy struck. The Platinum dynasty fell into darkness and disappeared. Legends says the fall was because of a misused Love Potion." Celestia beamed "Very good, Professor Felix would be proud! Now the kingdom fell into a period of disharmony….and that is where my story begins……or at least what I can remember. Like I said I bumped my head pretty hard…."

====In the distant past====

One century after the founding of Equestria the once united land was once again divided. Twenty years ago the last queen of the Platinum Dynasty disappeared with her entire court. Now the land has fallen to disharmony, with the three pony tribes in perpetual conflict for a crown that no longer exists. The old Canterlot Castle looms over the fractured land, the once glorious shining capital of Equestria sitting neglected on its lonely mountaintop. No pony dares go near that place for it is rumored to be haunted by dark vengeful spirits.

One night on the outskirts of a small village named Hooves Run near the Canterlot foothills five ponies with no particular connection look up at the night sky and see two shooting stars cross the sky.

>Vigilance And Imminent “Emmy” Glow

Are walking down the road to Hooves Run when they see the meteors light up the sky.
>Double Action and Cinnamon Blossom
Are walking into the local saloon when they notice the streaks of light. No one else seems to give it a second thought.
>Lily the Deer
Is walking through the peaceful forest on the outskirts of the pony village when she sees the shooting stars cross the sky above the trees.

"Its just a legend told to children, but…" I close my eyes tightly. "I wish, just once, I could do something big, that'll help everypony, everyone!"

I shake my head.

"It'll never come true, of course. But, its fun to dream!"

I continue walking towards the pony village.

"I wonder if I'll meet anyone there… Oooo… this is so daunting… Maybe I'll make a friend, but… going to a village…"

You see your master sparing with an young armored teen dragon your master looks at you as you arrive "Lily Ru-!" The moment of distraction upon seeing you allows the dragon to maul him with his claws. Your master falls to your feet mangled and bloody and mortally wounded. The dragon wipes the blood from his claws and stares at you. You see a phoenix egg laying at his feet.

You look over the edge of the crater and see a bruised solid white pony filly with a pink mane laying in the center of the smoldering crater. She's a unicorn no wait…a pegasus…..both? She appears unconscious.
>>434687
As you enter the silo you see a dark blue filly crying loudly amidst the burning debris. You can't get a good look at her through all the smoke and fire.

"Tonight is a special night…there were some deliveries let's call them. Two young fillies who are very important to my benefactor. Here is what i need done.

"Good to see she arrived safety." You hear a gravely voice behind you as two hooded figures approach wearing strange random and patchy robes . "Now if you would kindly hand the filly over to us…no one needs to get hurt." They appear to be diamond dogs.
>>434695
You heft her on your back getting a better look at her. She has silvery blue-white hair and appears to posses both a unicorn horn and a pair of pegasus wings. As you are amazed by this sight suddenly a burning piece of timber drops down and blocks your exit.

"It's too late…….Lily….." You notice that the dragon in his attack has completely eviscerated him he does not have much time left. "Lily…..listen to me……the egg….."

The little filly goes back to sleep softly on your back. You see in the distance what looks to be fight on the outskirts of town. A fiery phoenix is lighting up the night sky.
>>434740
You flail madly for a minute and then get back up. Most ponies in the town are fighting the fire and not paying attention to events.
>>434741
Your armor is summoned. You can hear the little white filly moan nearby "uhhhh..my…..sister…..where's Luna.?"

The first dog scrambles to his feet.

Chapter 2

Twilight Sparkle looked up at the sky watching the stars as the twinkled in the moonlight. It had been several hours after her and Princess Celestia’s talk. The celebration downstairs had finally died down. Twilight was exhausted from her recent ordeals and was looking forward to getting some rest. Tomorrow her friends would go back to Ponyville while Twilight would stay behind for another week to get herself acquainted with her new royal duties. She had promised her friends she would return soon though, Pinkie Pie had promised to throw a party twice as big on her return.

A twinkle appeared on the face of the moon and then a dark silhouette.. “Princess Luna?” The graceful princess of the night flew across the face of the full moon and landed next to Twilight on the balcony. Luna nodded “Greetings Princess Sparkle, a beautiful night is it not?.”, “Erhm you can still call me Twilight and yes it’s a wonderful night.” the young alicorn shifted her hooves nervously. Luna smiled and nodded “Very well Twilight, what keeps you up at this late hour?”

Twilight watched a small shooting star cross the sky, “The Princess told me about the first bearers of the Elements. How you both first met them after falling from the sky. But there are only five ponies in the story?” “Seven counting my sister and I.”, Luna corrected. “Right seven…..So who were they? How did they represent the six elements of Harmony?” Twilight asked excitedly

Luna smiled “Well Twilight, I don’t think my sister would mind if I presume to pick up where she left off……….”

“So lemme guess, this is where we have to end the story tonight?” Twilight said disappointed. “Yes"
"But what happened to the villagers!?

"I would continue but I’m afraid I would talk you until sunrise.” Luna chuckled and smiled
Twilight sighed but then looked at the clock and yawned….it was far past time for sleep, and she had a big day ahead tomorrow.

“Sleep well Twilight Sparkle….our tale will continue.” and with that the Princess of the Night spread her wings and took to the moonlit sky. Twilight smiled and took one last look at the sky before going back downstair and drifting off to sleep in her soft bed with dreams of legendary tales of ponies and magic carrying her on through the night.

Twilight Sparkle trotted down the street and up the main avenue to the Royal Palace. She had reluctantly said goodbye to her friends at the train station promising to see them again soon. While she looked forward to seeing them again, Twilight also was also anticipating more story about the first bearers of the Elements. Her trot broke into a gallop and then into flight as she hurried to the palace in her excitement.

The excited young alicorn landed in the throne room and ran up to Celestia who was observing another stained glass window. “Princess! I know we have important lessons today but I was wondering if we could finis-” The princess held up a hoof, “Twilight…you’ll be happy to know….that is todays lesson.” “It is?” Twilight inquired “Indeed it is….and while we are at it….I would like you to accompany on a trip I have been wanting us to take for quite some time.” Celestia walked up the stairs to the observatory beckoning Twilight to follow.

Twilight had been here before and remembered it well. This was the highest spire of Canterlot where the Princess could watch over the Equestrian day as was her duty. Twilight sighed looking at the magnificent site and back at the princess who simply smiled. “Twilight let us fly together.” she said spreading her majestic wings and taking to the air. The young alicorn raised her own brand new wings and carefully took off. “Good….getting used to them I see.” “Rainbow Dash told me that it’s just like running except without using your legs!” Twilight nodded and smiled “Good then follow me, I have something to show you.”

Celestia soared high and through the clouds over the castle with Twilight carefully flying behind. The majestic spires of Canterlot receded behind as they both flew off towards the Everfree.

The area where Lilly left them is strewn with several dropped belongings.The tracks show that some were standing still when they dropped their things while other tracks start to run from where they were standing and then suddenly disappear.

Night was beginning to fall as the two princesses were joined by the third over the trees of the Everfree. Twilight was starting to tire from the long distance flight when Princess Luna chimed in. “We are here.” Finally they begin to descend landing deep in the forest. Twilight landed happily rolling on her back in the soft underbrush, “Ahh….good to be back on the ground.” “Come Twilight we are near…..” Celestia said passing her by walking through a thicket of dark trees. “Wait a moment” Twlight pondered the oddly familiar surroundings when she saw the Castle looming in the distance, unchanged since when she had last visited nearly three years ago. “You mean? This?….”

“Yes Twlight and there is more….” The two elder princesses strolled up the ancient causeway followed by the puzzled young alicorn.

The three princesses stood in the old throne room of the ancient forest citadel. This wasn’t the first time Twilight had explored this crumbling old castle. She had been here previously. Back when she had first visited the everfree that fateful night she had confronted Nightmare Moon. Twilight looked up at her mentor, “Isn’t this the castle you and Princess Luna once lived in?” Celestia chuckled, “Is that what they say about this place? Well no Twilight not exactly. This place is far far older than that.” She pointed to nearby the wall that were obscured in darkness.

Twilight walked over to the wall and looked back at Celestia and Luna. Celestia nodded to her encouragingly. After a moment of hesitation the young alicorn created a small light which immediately illuminated. Twilight suddenly gasped when she finally could make out the etched surface.
====In the distant past====

The five friends travelled through foreboding the Everfree Forest attempting to track down the lost villagers. They came upon an old ruined castle which was near the site from where the villagers disappeared. Coming upon an ancient throne room they met a strange pony who claimed and appeared to be the spiteful former Queen of Equestria The queen revealed herself to be not as she once was, transformed into a hideous creature. She left the castle after ordering her guardians to test the skills of the five friends in combat. After dealing with the strange insectoid ponies, the party stands in the throne room with the two alicorn fillies and five unconscious guardians.

You see a wall of glyphs written in the ancient equestrian style. It depicts the story of the Platinum dynasty. You recognize the scenes from the founding of Equestria. Princess Platinum is there with the six other founders representing the genesis of Harmony between Ponykind that ended the Everwinter. In the next scene the six founders stand before Starswirl the Bearded who proclaims a new age of Equestria and crowns Platinum Queen. The next few panels depict the history of Equestria, wars with both the Dragon Hordes and the fabled Crystal Empire, and times of Peace and prosperity.

The prince falls head over heals in love with the Queen. For a time the whole of Equestria and beyond reflects the joy of the Queen and her Prince. But it does not last. The Queen had come to rely on the love potion in entangling her prince, but her heart's desire was not truly fulfilled. She broke the enchantment, thinking the prince would have truly fallen in love with her. The Cold Prince however returned to his former senses. In his anger he cursed the Queen. Forever she and her followers would hunger for love that wasn't there's.

“I never imagined…..”, said Twilight dumbstruck. “A bit of history not in the books….for sure.” Said Luna flatly. Twilight looked closer at the sad story depicted in the faded glyphs. She felt pity for the poor queen who would later on become a dark figure in her own life.

Luna smiled and and nodded as both princesses began to fly out of the castle, followed by the awkwardly flying Twilight.
