In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Celestia, and the Word was Celestia.

It came to pass, that ponies began to multiply on the face of Equestria. Celestia saw the wickedness in the hearts of ponies was great, and she regretted that she had created ponies on the face of Equestria, and she grieved about it in her heart.

Celestia said to herself, "I will destroy every pony on Equestria; both pony, and bunny, and parasprite; for I regret that I have made them."

But one pony had found favor in the eyes of Celestia, and she saved her and her family from the Great Flood that she sent upon Equestria, where every living thing was destroyed.

And after the Flood, Celestia promised to ponykind, "Though the evil in pony's heart is great, I will not again destroy Equestria for pony's sake."

And the Word became a pony and dwelt among us.

Twilight the Christ

It came to pass, that ponies once again multiplied upon the face of Equestria. Celestia saw that they were corrupt and evil in their hearts, but, remembering her promise to ponykind, Celestia did not destroy Equestria.

And one pony found favor in the eyes of Celestia, so a royal guard Pegasus was sent to her from Celestia. And this special pony was a maiden pony espoused to a rabbit named Angel, of the city of Canterlot; and the maiden's name was Fluttershy.

And the Pegasus came in unto her, and said, "Hail, thou that art highly favored, Celestia is with thee! Blessed art thou among ponies!"

And when she saw him, she was deeply troubled, but the Pegasus said, "Fear not, Fluttershy, for thou hast found favor with Celestia. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a daughter, and shalt call her Twilight Sparkle. She shall be great, and she shall reign over Equestria for ever."

Then Fluttershy said to the Pegasus, "But how can this be? I have never had... uhm... you know..."

And the Pegasus answered and said unto her, "The spirit of Celestia shall come upon thee, and overshadow thee. She shall plant her seed into thy womb, and so the holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Daughter of Celestia."

And Fluttershy said, "Uhm... okay. I am the servant of Celestia; be it done unto me according to thy word." And the Pegasus departed from her.

So months passed, and the filly in Fluttershy's womb slowly grew. Angel, her husband, noticed the change in her body, and was troubled because he had not yet come into his wife. Since he was a just rabbit, and not willing to shame her in public, Angel decided to divorce her privately.

But while he thought on these things, behold, the Pegasus of Celestia appeared unto him in a dream, saying, "Angel, rabbit of Canterlot, fear not to take unto thee Fluttershy thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of Celestia. And she shall bring forth a daughter, and thou shalt call her Twilight Sparkle; for she shall save ponies from their sins."

Then Angel woke from his sleep and did as the Pegasus of Celestia had bidden him; and took Fluttershy into his home.

And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree that all ponies should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one unto her own city.

So Angel went up from Canterlot into Fillydelphia, the city of his ancestors, to be taxed with Fluttershy, his espoused wife, who was heavily pregnant.

And so it was, when they arrived in Fillydelphia, that she felt her labor pains.

And she brought forth her firstborn daughter, and wrapped her in swaddling clothes, and laid her in the hay, because they were horses and that is what horses do.

Now when Twilight Sparkle was born, the queen was the Great and Powerful Trixie. Behold, there came wise ponies from the east, saying, "Where is she that is born Queen of the Ponies? For we have seen her star in the east, and are come to worship her."

When the Great and Powerful Trixie had heard these things, she was troubled, and felt jealous that some pony could be greater than she. And she gathered all of her chief magicians and scribes together, and demanded where the Christ should be born."

And they said unto her, "In Fillydelphia, for that is written in the prophecies."

So the Great and Powerful Trixie called for the wise ponies, who were named Snips and Snails, sent them to Fillydelphia and said, "Go and search diligently for the young pony; and when ye have found her, bring me word again, that I may come and worship her also."

When they had heard the queen, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young pony was.

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young pony with Fluttershy her mother, and fell down, and worshiped her: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto her gifts; books, and books, and even more books.

And being warned by Celestia in a dream that they should not return to Trixie, they departed to their own country in another way.

And when they had departed, behold, the Pegasus of Celestia appeared to Angel in a dream, saying, "Arise, and take the young pony and her mother, and flee into Trottingham, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Trixie will seek the young pony to destroy her."

When he arose, he took the young pony and her mother by night, and departed into Trottingham.

Then Trixie, when she learned that she was mocked by Snips and Snails, became exceedingly angry, and commanded that all fillies that were in Fillydelphia, that were two years and under, be brutally slain.

And from Fillydelphia was heard, lamentation and weeping and mourning and gnashing of teeth, as young fillies were snatched from their mothers, and impaled with the sword.

But when Trixie was dead, behold, the Pegasus of Celestia appeared in a dream to Angel in Trottingham, saying, "Arise, and take the young pony and her mother, and go into the land of Canterlot: for they are dead which sought the young pony's life."

And he arose, and took the young pony and her mother, and came into the land of Canterlot, and dwelt there.

And the pony grew, and was strong in spirit, and filled with wisdom: and the grace of Celestia was upon her.
