The Unknown Past

 

Prologue:

 

Long ago, in the kingdom known as Equestria, there lived a myriad of creatures, and there were an assortment of locales for which these creatures dwelled. One creature that existed plentiful in the land were ponies. These ponies were under the caring rule of the Sister Princesses, Celestia and Luna. These two sisters not only ruled over the land, but were also responsible for the raising of the moon and sun. Their role in the lives of the Ponies that dwelled in the land was, in most cases, detrimental. Although, these two ruling Alicorns weren’t the only beings with considerable power and might. There were also beings who would oppose their rule; beings with an evil intent, bent on overthrowing their rule and enslaving the ponies of Equestria. But, as there existed the forces of good and evil, there was one force, which represented a balance, between the absolutes. This force, was known as Anon.

 

     Anon was a deity that once walked freely in the land of Equestria and beyond. Anon was known as a God, and in his own right, he was, for it was due to his origin race. He was, human. Being that it was the work of the human mind that created the immersive world for which ponykind dwelled, he was a being of absolute power. He could reshape the entire universe in his image, mold and create matter, and manipulate the laws of physics and science. And with accordance with his ability to create matter, he also took the liberty of spawning machines and creations which came from the world of humanity, mostly war vehicles which mesmerized the ponies with their capabilities. Although, it was because of his comprehensive and differentiated mind, that he himself put a limit on his power. He did not exceed his boundaries, for the fact that he was a protectorate, a human guardian, who loved and cared for the ponies of the kingdom, and for the Sister Princesses. It was through this love, that he dare not attempt to exert his absolute power, for he did not wish to put himself anywhere above the Princesses’ power.

 

      Even with Anon’s nobility, respect and servitude towards the Princesses, there was one thing that troubled the sisters the most: being that he was a God, he possessed a power so unequal to theirs that if he was to ever endanger the existence of Equestria, there could be no way to stop him. Even with the Princesses’ combined power and all the magical forces that existed, they couldn’t stop him, for magic was only a fraction of the power he possessed. He was made of absolute power and energy. He had no weakness, nor could any magical or supernatural force stop him. Another thing that troubled them on an equal level, was his method of staving off the evil that threatened Equestria. Because he was human, he was bred in the art of warfare, as in the world of humanity, the human race had been at constant war. The major advances of civilization were because of war. And of course, with warfare, comes death. As with the Princesses being the representation of the Absolute good, they did not believe in the death of their enemies, but rather imprisonment or reform. Anon on the other hand, used tactics, which involved direct confrontations and massive battles using his aforementioned military vehicles and weaponry, and this of course would result in the death of any and all enemies that fought against Equestria. The sisters objected to his methods, but never spoke out, for fear that he would lash out, and cause destruction in opposition of their decision or rhetoric.

 

     This issue was coming to the boiling point, as the ponyfolk of Equestria lived in terror and fear, not because of what Anon did, but what he could do. Even though he only caused death and destruction to his enemies, ponies everywhere were terrified at what he could do to them. He unknowingly imposed a state of constant fear amongst these wonderful little ponies and the land beyond Equestria.

 

     After a short time, the sisters confronted Anon on this issue. After hearing what he had unknowingly caused amongst the ponies and creatures of Equestria, Anon knew what had to be done, for he in his mind saw that if he truly loved these innocent ponies, he had to remove himself as the Guardian of Equestria, for then, he knew that the kingdom and its inhabitants would live in peace, and not in constant fear. It was in this moment, he announced his decision to the sisters. He would leave Equestria, and no longer act as the sole protector of Equestria. In his departure, he said his goodbyes, wishing peace and love upon the kingdom. Then, he used his godlike ability to then remove himself from the minds of the inhabitants of the kingdom and beyond. He reset the historical timeline of Equestria, and in doing so, erased himself from Equestria’s quintessential existence. As the timeline was reset, he left in his absence a magical power which would soon be discovered by the Princesses at a later date, to help defend Equestria in times of great need: the Elements of Harmony. In due time, this power will come to defend Equestria in its darkest hours as you may already know. Although should a time arise in the future, if Anon is to ever return, he set in the future timeline a catalyst event which would bring back remembrance of him, so that all who do not know of him, will learn of who he was. Then, after his work was done, he then looked upon the great kingdom, and then turned away as he left into the vastness of the cosmos…

This is really good Will you be writing more?

Well, I'm hoping to see if the overall appeal is positive. If more people enjoy the story, I'll continue it. But even then, if the reaction isn't as positive as I'd like it to be, I will probably write out the rest of the story.
