Long ago, four Great Goddesses ruled Equestria. Two of them were known as The Royal Sisters. Of those two, the eldest would raise the sun at dawn, to start the day, while the youngest would raise the moon at dusk to start the night. The third goddess was known as Me Amore Cadenza, The Goddess of Love. She was the ruler of the fabled Crystal Empire in The Frozen North, and had the power to bring love to the most hatred of ponies. The fourth goddess was Twilight Sparkle, The Goddess of Friendship. She was similar to the third goddess, except that she would spread friendship all across the Equestrian lands.

All the ponies loved and worshipped the goddesses, and they would offer the same in return. But that is an old pony's tale.

Today, ponies believe that there really were no goddesses, and that there really were no such thing as alicorns, and that it's all just part of Equestrian mythology.

No pony knows exactly what happened thousands of years ago, considering that most records were either destroyed, forgotten, or simply lost in translation.

Now, ponies believe in science, and because of that, Equestria's technology is centuries ahead of its time.

However, a certain group of ponies have different thoughts on the world.

These ponies still believe that the goddesses existed, and they worship them like part of a religion. The reason why is that "supposedly", they are descendants of the ponies who were friends of The Goddess of Friendship.

Because of that, they've gone to certain lengths to do the impossible.

For generations, they've been trying to create their own goddess.

They've attempted this hundreds of thousands of times, but could never get it right.

At first they would take a pair of wings and a horn and stitch them on some pony. Thankfully, that method was thrown out due to how gruesome it was. Now they take a scientific approach. One that is a bit too complicated to explain.

Unfortunately, every single one would fail the tests, and would die on their own, or would be killed.

   Even though they started more than a thousand years ago, they have been seeing some progress in their work. They've noticed that each test tube born foal would show some signs of perfection, and it was getting better, but in the end, they would all still fail.

One day, however, they finally got it right.

They finally managed to create a perfect alicorn.

Me.

In the months following my birth, they began the tests.

As the years went by, they would test my mobility, mentality, intelligence, fitness, magical abilities, and flight.

You'd think the tests were short and simple, well then, you are wrong.

The tests they performed on me were a nightmare. They'd work me to exhaustion, they would force to strain my magic until it would blow out, they even locked me in a cage, and then the surgeries, or as I called them, the dissections. You have no idea what it was like to undergo dissection after dissection, and then being returned to your cage all weak, and being forced to undergo the same routine the next day. I would always wondered what in fact did they take out, or put into my body.

But that wasn't the worst of it, oh no. If you think undergoing such torture was bad, try putting up with all of that while also being called "It". I wasn't an it! Who did they think I was, a lab rat? Don't answer that!

Anyway, it went like that for the past fifteen years.

I'm turning sixteen tomorrow, and my only wish was to be saved from this horrible place.
