the Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000!!! Watched it with my cousin because there was nothing better to do. still my favorite episode, right up there with May the best pet win!

I only named him "accord" for lack of a better name, besides, what would you rather I call him? pteranadon? but yeah. its just a story.

if discord had never existed, king sombra's dark line would rule over the lands of men to this day. according to my headcanon here: http://mlpforums.com/topic/86238-my-little-head-canon/#entry2247080 if you are asking outside of that, I would say chaos would have no physical form and would live inside of everypony, driving those ponies like trixie who have no moral compass to speak of to doing far worse things thanthey would if discord did exist. the mane 6 would be more in control, being linked to the elements of harmony and all, but would not be invulnerable to chaos' temptation.

OK everypony! I just rewatched "Princess Twilight Sparkle", and I just thought up my own (pre)history of equestria. looking for a critique of the content, not the writing. Long ago, before the first ponies came into existence, the land was ruled by men. These men were good and benevolent, worshiping their gods of harmony with artwork, music, and stories. Before long, however, a dark shadow crossed the land. From the north came war and destruction to the men of good, brought by the darkest of kings, King Sombra. The men of good prayed to their gods of harmony for an end to the darkness, and the gods obliged. From the heavens came forth Accord, the gods' own champion. Accord led the men of good to victory over King Sombra, banishing him to his own kingdom, far to the north. However, in the final battle against the crystal tyrant, Accord became tainted with evil. This darkness consumed accord, transforming him into Discord. Discord returned to the land of men, ruling over them with an fist. He turned the land to a world of chaos, changing to suit his every whim. His rule tore a rift in the kingdom of man, dividing the men of good into three factions: The men of the heavens, a religious sect devoted to gaining power through their own gods The men of the sky, a warrior tribe motivated by glory and bloodlust The men of the earth, a merchant guild driven by greed and gluttony Discord saw this division and branded it with his own hand, remaking the men in the image of the gods of old as he remembered them: The men of the heavens became unicorns The men of the sky became pegasi The men of the earth became earth ponies The gods, infuriated with Discord's betrayal, used their power to seal him in a heavenly prison, and moved the people to a new land where they could prosper. In this time, the newly made races of pony came to terms with their differences and lived as harmoniously as they could, having lost trust in the gods of harmony. However, hardship eventually returned, and the ponies fell once again to hatred and fear. They fought one another until the evils of old drove them out of the land the gods had given them, and back into the land they had once known. Learning from their mistakes, the three nations joined in one republic under the name Equestria. Harmony reigned in Equestria, until once again, the land fell to darkness. the stars aided in the escape of Discord, and the republic fell once again to tyranny. Two sisters, Celestia and Luna, gave themselves to the gods of harmony, and became their champions. They sought out the tree of harmony on the word of the gods and took the elements of harmony. with the weapons of the gods, they cast down discord, and peace took Equestria once again, under the careful guidance of the two sisters. Later, they cast down King Sombra, and you all know the rest. Thanks for reading my long spiel, now please leave your thoughts below. any holes? any praise? any additions? any subtractions? edit: Equestria girls takes place in a PARALLEL dimension wherein King Sombra never came to power.
