Equestria has been a blessed land. A land where all live in peace and harmony with one another, the immortal princesses Celestia and Luna rule with both kindness and great wisdom, but there was a time before their rule. Before Luna’s corruption and rise of Nightmare Moon and her one thousand year banishment to the moon, before Discord ruled over the land in a state of chaos, even before the three pony clans finally made peace and halted the chill of windigo hate. There was another tale, one that should have not been forgotten, and the tale of how it all began. The story of Equestria‘s birth, it‘s near destruction and the very thing used to stop that evil.
In the beginning, there was nothing but a mix of light and dark, no life could exist and only winds swept across the vast blank expanses. Then one day an event occoured that would change the universe forever. A single being was forged from the light and dark, he had the gift of flight, the power to wield and control magic, boasted strength beyond measure, it had a deep dark body with a mane of fire and tail of ice, he was Omnipotent, the first alicorn, the father of all pony kind. He gazed upon the nothing that now was his home and seeing that it had great potential for more than what he was gazing upon, he took it upon himself to make it somewhere worth existing in.

Omnipotent tirelessly worked on this land making it in his image, using his great strength he forged mountains, valleys, seas and all manner of habitat. Weilding his wings he created the mighity winds as well as the skies and clouds. Finally with his unmatched magic he created the sun and moon separating darkness and light permenantly and brought balance to the land by creating the seasons. When he felt that his creation was complete, he rested. Though pleased with his great work, he began to grow very lonely, even with the many creatures, such as dragons and the draconequus had come from their old lands to live there. Omnipotent, being the only one of his kind tore him apart inside, there were none like him to enjoy such splendor, such beauty, it truly was a lonely feeling. Until he decided to create one last thing, another like him, but a female, a companion which he could truly care for, one that could marvel in his creation with him, one he could relate with, one to be there for him.

So using his own body and the soil of his creation, he created a beautiful mare; similar to him in appearance and ability, but with her mane was aglow like the finest cut rubies, her body a dazzling white. He gazed upon her breath taking beauty, very pleased with his work; he called her Aurora, mother of Equestria.
As the many years passed Omnipotent formed several friendships, but of all of them his closest friends were a Dragon whose size made other dragons look like falcons to an eagle, named Dante of the Inferno, he was called this because he was the only dragon that was born from the Inferno itself, his body was purple, his spines green and wings that when spread could block the sun as if it were night in the day. He also befriended the most magical of the draconequus, the great Onus, a skilled and powerful chaos crafter. Who he had met after a harmless prank was played upon him.
Aurora and Omnipotent continued to watch over his creation, all was perfect but Aurora saw that even through its perfection it didn’t seem right. The dragons (though powerful, majestic and noble) never seemed to ally with one another because of their traits. The same was for the Draconequues, though their kind were not as strong as dragons, their superior abilities in the ways of magic had them live as the dragons did, alone and self-reliant. So Aurora took it upon herself to create a new species of creatures, all the same yet all unique. She would call them ponies and she created three seperate kinds.
First she made the pegasus, a winged creature whose ability of flight would be the envy of all others, but it lacked strength and had no power over magic. Second she created the unicorn, a creature that with their horn could weild and control the immense powers that came with magic, but they lacked strength and the power of flight. Finally Aurora created the earth pony, a simple being with no distinguishing features, but its physical prowess was next to none, though it lacked both magic and flight.
Omnipotent initially questioned Aurora’s intentions behind why she created them with only one of their special abilities instead of making more like themselves. Aurora replied so that they may learn to work together, forge strong bonds between them, to rely on more than themselves, and most importantly: so they could find the things that made them as individuals unique.
As the years continued to pass, Omnipotent and Aurora’s love grew until one day Aurora gave him another reason to love, a daughter, whose dazzling white body and vibrant mane sparkled in the sunlight. They called her Celestia, first born to Omnipotent. Soon after the birth of Celestia, Aurora gave Omnipotent another daughter, one whose body and mane were the color of the night sky. To her they gave the name Luna, the gem of the night.
With a small, loving family Omnipotent could not have been a happier stallion, but as with most good things, they always come to pass, sometimes in the most tragic of ways. Aurora grew gravely ill a few short years after the birth of Luna due to the sheer amount of magic used to create pony kind in such vast numbers. Omnipotent, Dante and Onus did everything they could to save her, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Aurora died on a cold night in icy rain, for even his creation felt his sadness that day. A grief stricken Omnipotent stood next to his young daughters as she was buried by the very beings she gave her life to create. Though heartbroken, Omnipotent knew he had to be strong for his daughters now more than ever before.

As with most great tragedies that one experiences in life, whether it is a loss of a loved one or a crippling injury to oneself, another event just as unthinkable began to take place. A blackness of unknown origin began to cover the farthest reaches of Omnipotent‘s creation, destroying everything it touched, giving no regard for anything in its dark path. Seriously alarmed, Omnipotent called upon his closest and most powerful friends and allies, Dante and Onus, to discuss how to stop such a being. They had to find a solution fast, for as they looked to find a way to stop it, the blackness still was still ominously moving across the land.

Author's Notes:

And that's how Equestria was made.... by the God-King Omnipotent and his beloved wife Aurora... who looks conspicuously like a certain writer/animator/developers OC... hmmm... This is how it all begins...
