Stories From Before Recorded History
Chapter 1
Meeting Red
The Cutie Mark Crusaders were out in the forest trying to find a good place to stay before the storm. They had been out trying to get there cutie marks in exploration maybe, but to no avail. The sky grew dark and it began to drizzle.
" Come on Crusaders. I see a large cave up ahead." Scootaloo said as she pointed to a wide open cave in the cliff side. They began to head towards the cave and when they got there it was very warm inside. It was warm, cozy, and inviting.
They walked in and sat down in the dry warmth. But Applebloom noticed something off in the distance. It was much farther back in the cave. So Sweetie Belle used a spell that she new for when she was scared that made her horn like a candle. She lit the way to the strange thing and the others followed. As they walked down the large corridor, the warmth grew greater. When they eventually reached the source, they were shocked to see a large and gold colored dragon which was reading a book that was levitating in front of its face. They looked in its den to see large bookcases carved into the stone. There was also tables and furniture, all made of either stone or wood. They still stood there dumbstruck, it was larger than the dragon that Rainbow Dash had described from there adventure to the top of the mountain. As they stood there and stared at the large crimson and gold beast, it smiled. The crusaders began to back up.
" Why, you three are so loud. You could raise the dead." It turned its head and they saw its humongous emerald eyes. They were so frightened that they almost all three blacked out. Sweetie Belle tripped when she tried to back up. But she didn't hit the ground. She was glowing. They looked to see If the Dragon was still there and he was, but two large horns were glowing on his head. Was he using Magic? But only unicorns could use magic, Right? Sweetie Belle was put back on her feet and then the glowing stopped. And so did the Dragons horns.
" So, What brings you three here, to an old dragon's cave?" He asked as he closed the book he was reading.
"Well, you see sir. Umm, it was raining all hard like outside, and we kinda needed a place to get all comfy and warm. Least till the rain stopped." Applebloom said this in a meek voice, which made the dragon laugh.
" You don't have to call me sir. You can call me by my real name, Amháinársa, or just call me Red like my friends used to."
"Used to? What happened to them?" Scootaloo asked in a little more intrigue.
" They died, in fact I think the last on like me died about 12,000 years ago."
" What? That has to make you older than Princess Celestia."
"It does. In fact I remember when Celestia took power. Yes I have been alive since before her rule, even before discords rule, and even before equestria was founded."
This Nearly knocked the fillies of there hooves." But wait, How old are ya?" Applebloom asked after coming to the realization that he had to be much older than that.
" Hmm, yesterday was my birthday. Ah yes, that makes me 54,675 years old… plus one day I guess."
"Whoa, ya'll are old. I mean, oh wait, sorry."
" HAHAHAHA, do not apologize child. It is the truth after all. But I have many more years ahead of me. At least 200,000 more." There was no way that this could be possible. But, There was no lie in his large Emerald eyes. He was Telling the truth.
"So how were things ruled before then?" they all asked simultaneously.
" Well, that does set up for a good story."
I had this idea for a book. so I thought I would ponify it then see how everyone reacted. if it did good I would finish it. then maybe deponifiy it and sell it as a short story book.
*** I own nothing, all characters belong to their respected owners.***
Tell me what you all think and I will finish it."
