It was a dark and stormy night in the wasteland of Equestria, a strong, cold gust of wind going past a hooded Pony in a dirty, sandy coat with a pink patch where a Cutie Mark would be, the hoofed Mammal had there face covered by there hood, she walks up a big hill, panting heavily as her hooves digging into the uncomfortable sand, some of it getting into her leg fur, she then reaches the top and takes a breathe, looking onward on the land, seeing 2 two other Ponies talking, in front of a crystal table, a map maybe? She looks closer, seeing what the Ponies look like, there was a pink Unicorn with a purple mane with light blue streaks in it, her eyes a soft purple, her Cutie Mark being a star with light blue swirls above it, the hooded Pony then looked at the other Mammal, seeing an Alicorn? But those are just myths she thought, she was a light purple with a dark blue mane that had purple and bright pink streaks in , she was confused, suddenly taking her hood off, she looked almost the same, just without the wings, and the hooded Pony had a messy mane and fur, with her fur almost covering her dark purple hooves, and she had eye bags, they had the same eyes too.

“No way...” The cloaked horse says in an amazed tone, her voice being a bit rough
She then looks at the Alicorn, and glared at the Cutie Mark, it was a big bright pink star, with little white stars around it, the cloaked Pony looks back at her flank, raising the cloak, she was a Blank Flank, she then looks back at the 2 other Ponies , listening to there convocation closely.

“I don’t know why my friends and I are soo important to Equestria, but we are..” The Alicorn states, looking down at the sand, kicking it lightly, her mane flowing in the wind, she shivers
The pink unicorn looks to get mad and responds in an angry tone, snapping “I DONT BELIEVE YOU!!” she points at the Alicorn
The hooved Pony then noticed the Baby, purple Dragon with green spikes as he speaks
“Come on Starlight, look around..” he replies
The so called Starlight looks behind her to see more of the mess called Equestria, a deserted wasteland full of nothing but sand, dead trees and a sandstorm, the Alicorn walks up to Starlight
“Like I said.. Everything that effects the past, effects the future.. Even the tiniest act..” She claims, lifting up some sand in her hoof, the sand floating away in the wind
“And what your doing leads here..” She adds on, as Starlight looks in horror at what she’s done
“I know I cant stop you, but I thought showing you this might change your mind..” she admits and looks at Starlight
The Unicorn then gets angry and huffs at the Alicorn and goes back to look at her, glaring threateningly
“Change my mind!?” She asks in a mad tone, slowly walking towards the Mythical Pony
“You don’t know anything about me! I was perfectly happy before!! YOU!!!!” She pounces at the Alicorn, but the Pony steps out the way, backing up
“AND YOUR FRIENDS!!! RUINED WHAT I BUILT!” Starlight exclaims in a raging fury, her horn sparking bright blue sparkles
The Alicorn looks a little scared, and in return she steps back, not wanting to fight, and replying in a bit calm but still somewhat scared tone
“I don’t know what happened to let you to make your village without Cutie Marks” The hooded Pony then gets even more interested at this, tilting her head, the Alicorn then puts her hoof to her chest
“And I’m sorry my friends and I had to take it away..” She states, feeling remorse for what she did, but deep down, she knows she had to
Starlight then growls and glows a bright magical blue glow, floating up and yelling
“YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!??” She asks, furious
The hooded Pony seeming to be somewhat fearful, hiding away a bit, shaking, but continues to watch as Starlight floats above the map, table thing
“ILL SHOW YOU!!” She states aggressively and shoots the table with a magical blast, making it glow a pure white, making magic ruins appear, then a portal is made above it and.

They all float into the giant portal, making them travel back in time, the portal disappearing in a bright flash, the hooded Pony gets out of hiding and looks around before rushing to the table, looking at it, it is a map like the thought, but its built into the table, she then looms around a bit more, confused of what just happened
“What was that?” She asked to herself
She then closes her eyes and thinks for a moment about the convocation
“Hmmm.. So the other me said something about friends being important to Equestria..” She states to herself, looking up at where the portal was
“Everything that effects the past effects the future..” She thinks and looks the map, touching it
“Maybe if I travel back to the past, I can make all Pony tribes friends?” She says, tilting her head, sitting down
“Ugh! What if it doesn’t work!?” She exclaims sheepishly
She then shakes her head rapidly and slaps herself with her hoof
“ITS MY ONLY CHANCE!” She states and sighs
“If I don’t at least try! Then I got nothing!!” The hooded Pony claims and puts her hood back over her head
She rips a branch off a tree, using her magic, she then begins to draw in the sand, trying to make her own time travel spell.

After a long 5 days the hooded Mammal finally figures it out, her eyes loopy, she looks at the ground and steps on the map, she seemed to have named the map, being almost insane
“O-Ok Shining Map..” She whines as she says that, thinking about her lost brother, shining armour
“Lets try this..” She says, with one last bit of hope left, casting the spell, and after a while she gives up, but little did she did it and is sucked into the portal, screaming.

Back in the olden days of the land, a portal opens up, and out comes out the Hooded figure, in a snowy cave, shivering she looks around and just sighs, not able to process how she did it or where she is, she just states to herself
“T-Tired.. I’m soo very tired...” In a very weak and tired tone, falling to the floor and passing out, asleep, snoring, not caring for the cold, the last thing she sees is the shadow of a bearded Stallion with a Unicorn horn, before she closes her eyes.
