The Traveller. Through our homeland.
Chapter 1: Prologue
Load Full Story Next ChapterPeaceful days full of harmony. Good old times. Old? Yes, sadly old. These days are in the past. Now, days are just dump. Eight hours of a not that sunny day and then sixteen hours of the cold, scary and not so peaceful night. Days are gloomy and pretty cold... short too. Nights are just nights. These are beautiful in their own way accually. The sky at night is in deep shade of violet and with shining stars and glowing white moon it is the best view you can see if you are not travelling across Equestria or other islands here and there. But nothing is that amazing as it should be at night. In these sixteen hours animals are getting pissed off and are attacking everything and everywhere. It is easy to get yourself killed in this beauty of night. But how, when and why it all happened? We all know the peacefull and friendly world full with harmony so where it go? Well, time for some history...
Y’all do remember that pointless war against Griffonia right? Wait, no? Okay then. We will start from there. The Great War against Griffonia turned out to diplomatic peace. But it all started not that long ago. The ruler of Griffonia – King Phrovaner the Strongest became a war against us ... ponies in particular. He wanted to claim Equestria’s forests. Why? Because forests in Griffonia were empty from all animals, and as everypony now know griffons eat meat. So the war, why the name – The Great War? This war turned out to be the deadliest and the most life-sucking one. After one hundred moons Celestia, Luna and the rulers of Crystal Empire attacked, with all force at Griffonia. The King Phrovaner was defeated but Celestia wasn’t that cold-hearted monster. She created The Bow of Elders. Five elder griffons were the rulers and Griffonia received from Celestia half of the forests in Equestria. The Bow of Elders thanked her and signed a diplomatic document to have peace against Equestria and Griffonia for one thousand moons. Everything turned out pretty well.
Well ... maybe in Griffonia.
After the war Equestria wasn’t that damaged. There were only four small villages burned to the ground. But ponies weren’t that happy. Their ruler gave an enemy their lands! And she didn’t need to. She won the war! She could just told them to buck off and leave them at their own! So after this ponies in Canterlot created the group knew as The Motion Of Resistance, TMOR in short. They were planning on taking Alicorns from the throne and take ruling Equestria as it was in Griffonia. After ten moons from the end of The Great War there was The First Revolution agains Alicorns. TMOR won but not for long. After this Celestia and Luna tracked down the main base where TMOR were hiding and burned it down. Accually what the revolutionises were doing? They were killing guards. Simple right? Kill guard to weakened the ruler. Well it should be simple but it wasn’t. After 40 moons after The Great War there was second and final Revolution. TMOR got to the castle and after many deads they finally killed two princesses. Now you ask: How they killed Alicorns for bucking sake?! Well, because there were two Alicorns and the number of TMOR was more than three thousand ponies. Even two Alicorns couldn’t win that. After their death they killed Alicorn in Crystal Empire by poison. They thought they were done but 5 ponies and one Alicorn stepped in front of them. But it turned out to Alicorn’s death and three ponies with her. Only two were smart to stop fighting. But unfortunately two days after this they tried to kill the leaders. Well ... they tried. After this the leaders created The Circle of Leaders. Six ponies: four mares and two stallions. So you think that after this everything was smooth and all? No ... killing Alicorns was the worst idea ever. The Circle of Leaders created new rules and all this stuff. These were bucked up rules. There were civil wars ... a lots of them. Equestria was crushed. Nothing more to say.
Okay so history of Equestria, done! Now the history of Griffonia.
There is not much to say about them. Everything in Griffonia were smooth and clean. The Bow of Elders had and have (as far as I know) everything in control. They managed to repair their monarchy, economic, politic just everything. They even colonised some lands on the farest north. They named these lands Arcticonia and every griffon who was living there was named as Arctic Griffon. These lands are very VERY cold. But they managed to live there. Griffons have thick fur under their feathers so they aren’t freezing to death. After claiming all these north-lands they decided to re-named Griffonia and after Global Voting (or something like that I am not sure how they named it) they decided to name Griffonia: The Great Griffon Kingdom, and Arcticonia stayed the same. The time from the end of The Great War to Global Voting they named The Gold Time. And The Great Griffon Kingdom lived long and happy lives. Happy ending for them! Yay!
Other countries didn’t have that macabric or epic times in these moons so we just named them: So on the farest north is Arcticonia. Under it is The Great Griffon Kingdom. Lower is Equestria. Under Equestria and a little on the right of it is Zebricolandia – land (mostly forest) filled with zebras. The biggest country on this planet. And under it are some lands that zebras didn’t get anyone into. We don’t know what is there and I think we won’t find out. Everypony is too scared to even go near it because of rumors about what zebras doing to intruders who want to go there. On the left side from Equestria are The Dragon Islands. Not much to say about them too. These are just islands with the big volcano in the middle. These are very hot lands. Yeah that’s it we don’t know much about them. On the right side from Zebricolandia are very strange lands. We know that the sky is all bright violet and lands are from black stone. There are two big islands and in the middle is strange, big tower. There is very windy and foggy. The day-night cycle don’t exist there. We only know these things about it... nothing more.
So yeah everything changed these times but maybe we get rid of this boring history and finally get to the story hmm? Okay so let’s get started.
Well now at these days we have year 1C046 (First Century, year 46th). My name is Wooden Mace. I am a stallion, 21 years old. I have light green fur, brown short hair and green eyes. My cutie-mark is a stick with a small bag tied up at one end. I was a traveller. Not real traveller but I was delivering stuff from one village to another etc. etc. Oh and I’m an pegasus but flying isn’t my thing. I can barely float in the air. I prefer calm walk. I’m very peaceful pony and I like to make new friends or have nice company to talk to. I was fascinated about world from my colthood. I always wanted to meet new ponies or even other species, discover new places ... stuff like that. And I finally had an opportunity to do this. So this is my story, about the pony in world filled with adventures. Be ware of randomness and epic moments, because I had a lot of these.
