Prologue: The Awakening

Ambition, curiosity, understanding… All of which are a relevant testament of one's desire to explore and learn the wonders of the world. Some result in great discoveries that benefit all beings that struggle and even suffer. While at other times, such things can result in chaos and even the corrupting influence of greed. Through endless periods of time, such things happened all the time, some in small doses, others in great doses that could change the world in good or bad ways.

This story tells of one's ambition leading to a world to great chaos. With that grave mistake, it has costed her almost every pony she held close to her heart. This evil, created by her own accord now roamed the great world, known as Equestria. The fault was her own, she pleaded for forgiveness and a chance at redemption for what she had created. Then… After fifty long years of silence and isolation by her own wishes that were driven by shame, there was an answer.

It came subtle like, right under the noses and weary eyes of many colorful and different ponies. Ponies of four great races, Earth pony, Pegasus, unicorn, and finally the mighty Alicorns. Though this answer was one of no certain pony race, this was something else… A hero… All too different…

It all began with a small light that twinkled through the mass pitch blackness. It then grew into a glorious six pointed star that slowly turned purple and illuminated the darkness. It was then that it burst with light that lit up the entire stone area, and the water a lone pony laid in. This mare slowly blinked her pure white eyes that took in sight and vision for the very first time. She turned her head to the stone pillars around the edges of a great stone room, before looking down to the water.

A light and bright rainbow color glowed and made the stone ceiling glitter with hidden gems. It was like the water itself was made of rainbows that soaked her snow white coat. The mare slowly began to lift herself up and out of the water till she was sitting on her flank. This allowed her to see a bit of her reflection in the water, her eyes were completely white except for her pupils. Her mane and tail were slightly shorter than the average, but glittered the moment they lifted out of the water.

She gave a sigh of relief and looked around to see five engraved pillars around her. She looked to all five of them, the markings on each showed three apple, three butterflies, a cloud with a lightning bolt, three balloons, and three diamonds. She slowly got up to look at each pillar, only to almost fall to her belly, for she had never walked before. Her four legs were wobbly, and her hooves felt like jelly. She grunted, but discovered that she could not utter a word.

It was like she was a baby, but she could think like an adult would. She had trouble walking and now she couldn't speak, this was frustrating for her at first. At least until she finally manage to stood up nice and tall and slowly start walking towards the first pillar she could see. Her legs felt like baby legs with weights on them, she tried her best to get walking down. Finally she dropped to a kneel the moment she arrived to the three apple pillar, she took a moment to catch her breath.

She then looked up to the pillar slowly,it felt like it was looking back down to her. Her head tiled as the water slowly drained out from her dull white mane and tail at last. The release of water seem to make her feel less encumbered before she slowly began to reach for the pillar.

"Well it's about time there partner! Fetch plenty of yer beauty sleep?"A very southern like voice suddenly echoed through the strangely crafted cave and nearly made her learn how to jump to the ceiling.

"I'm still a bit skeptical that this will work…! But like you said… We don't have any other options…!"Another voice suddenly spoke a bit morbidly to the other.

"Ooh, I hope she can fix what's happened! I hope I hope I hope!"A very excited voice echoed in and made the first one groan.

"Easy now, darling. You don't want to spook the only one that could save our world,"A more elegant voice chimed in to calm the last voice that chirped with excitement,"Though I do want to comment that her mane could use a serious drying and brushing...!"

"Please… We really need your help… We know this is a lot to ask of you, but-"A very quiet, but friendly voice came in to try and put the mare's spirit at ease.

"Now hold on every pony…! Lets do this nice and easy fer the poor mare,"The first voice insisted before she could finally talk with the white mare once more,"You probably have a lot of questions, and yer probably confused as a dog seeing it's own reflection. So just head on out that there tunnel to yer left…!"

The mare looked to her left and saw a small, but very well sculpted tunnel to her left. She could see but the faintest bit of golden and sparkling light emanate from it. She looked back to the pillar and tilted her head to the side before putting her hoof to her heart out of a bizarre and somber feeling.

"When you get out there, you'll experience a whole new world out there little missy,"The voice explained further with a bit more serious of a tone,"In that world, you will see a pretty big place in the distance called Ponyville. By then, you'll start to learn why yer here…!"

"Really? That's all she gets?!"The second voice exclaimed with a bit of resentment for the lack of information.

"Well, yeah! Too much info may be too much fer her and she'll get driven crazy,"The first voice argued back before focusing back on the mare,"Now go… And brace yerself for the world outside…! It's important that you stay strong out there. Equestria needs you…!"

"Everything and every pony needs you…!"All the voices announced before suddenly going silent, allowing the mare to take it in.

She took in a deep breath to process all the knowledge she was given right then and there. A world called Equestria needed her, it was in some sort of grave trouble from what she heard. The big place known as Ponyville was where she needed to go to start learning what happened. Plus, they actually believe that she may be what they need to help save this world of Equestria. Upon exhaling and relieving her mind full of knowledge, she nodded and found new found strength for it.

Slowly she lifted one hoof up, and put it back down before she was then walking. There was no more struggle, only strength that filled her legs and allowed her to properly walk. Her hooves splashed quietly in the water as she wore a soft and relaxing look to keep her cool. She had no clue why she was here or why they needed her help, but she awoke in this place for a reason. And these five voices gave her a purpose that she must fulfill in hopes of finding out who she was.

Finally the white mare walked out of the water and into the small tunnel. She quickly did a quick shake through her whole body to ring out whatever water remained on her body. Before she then began to follow the ray of gold light that suddenly warmed her face. This definitely felt like the way to go, pleasant things seemed very right to follow. She continued to walk through the tunnel, following the warm light that grew brighter and brighter with each passing minute.

She almost wanted to purr for the warmth her body felt after soaking in cold water. Suddenly as she turned a corner in the tunnel, the light became bright, and shined in her eyes. She covered her eyes for a moment to blot out the excess light, till it then began to go dim. Slowly her arm went down to see what the light could reveal, and saw bushes and trees, all brown and deep green. They blew in a gentle breeze as she neared the exit of the tunnel, where a bright blue sky, and a sun greeted her.

She grasped with a tiny smile and suddenly felt the energy surge in her body. It got her running towards the tunnel's opening and feel the great embrace of the light all around her. She finally exited the tunnel and went through a patch of shrubs. He then found herself looking out to the sky as she ran at full speed through some tall grass before a great view came to her. It arrived the moment she came to the edge of a hill top, allowing her to see the wondrous world of Equestria.

A bright and shining white and yellow orb showed itself to be the cause of the warm light. It was slowly rising to the blue sky from so very high, the sight of it was so beautiful. Her white eyes glittered to see such a lovely scene, before she then looked to a mountain to the left. There she could see the warm light giving circle show a great city in the distance, perched upon the mountain side. It was like it was crafted from stone and gold, a glorious sight, but it was not the place she was meant to go to.

So with a sigh, she looked to the next area that was dead ahead, right in front of her eyes. She could see the shadow of another place being lifted to reveal a strangely familiar place. It was like she had been there at one time, but she just couldn't remember it. What did trigger for her, was the hay roof tops and stone wall buildings that spoke of hard work and honesty. She tilted her head, and finally felt in her heart that this civilization was the town known as Ponyville.

She nodded and began to make her way down the hill, only to be fixated by the giant tree in the distance. It sparkled in the distance with many different colors, just like the water she woke in. The tree was very alluring, and it was just pass the town too. There was much for her to explore, and possibly only a limited time for her to explore the town and walk to the castle. However, she would be forced to make more time after hearing a commotion to her left.

She looked to the left and there she was able to see an old looking farm, surrounded by fields of trees. The trees held millions of apples in their branches, bringing more color to the farm. The barn was barely red any more thanks to all the paint that chipped off from the weather. The windmill was rusty and barely able to turn, and sounded like grinding steel. The wood house was in the center was the center piece to the old farm that appeared to be withered and ready to come down.

It was a bit of a sad sight for the mare, though she did not know why it made her sad. She was quick to shake her head and put her sadness behind her the moment she saw some pony at the house. It looked to be an older mare of creamy vanilla colored to go with a red mane and tail. She appeared to be arguing with what looked like two black Earth pony stallions. They were hard to define, for they looked exactly alike, even the strange white runic symbols all over their bodies.

They looked to be fighting with the mare, and she wasn't giving in to them. This appeared to trigger them, as one stallion lashed out and punched the mare across the head. Knocking her to the ground, and sending her old folk glasses flying off her rusted golden eyes. The white mare gasped with a jump of fear that rattled her body, only to quickly be replaced by a deep anger. It was like the anger was quick to burn away her fear and force her towards the farm.

She bolted down the hill, blowing off the town as she went to help the old mare. She was now feeling a purpose form for her, this world was vast and full of mystery to her. And now this was where she had to start her journey, following her heart to a farm.
