The next day (private) (Dated)[closed]

Theera waked up early. She stood up and looked over to Forte, who was still sleeping.
Theera walked a bit farther away, so she didn't wake up Forte. Then she started to balance on one of her hindlegs and hold the other in front of her lowerbody.
Her forelegs were fold infront of her upper body and she closed her eyes. Then she started to pray in her mind.

After she finished her praying she walked back to their sleeping place. She didn´t want to wake up Forte , but she didn´t want to go without her either.
Theera decided just to wait and sat down in front of Forte. She looked in her face and thought about the bad things she had experienced.

Forte stirred slightly in her cot as the sound of hooves on cement nearby filled her ears. She eventually woke up and silently turned on her spell to see Theera shifting into her praying position. This pose intrigued her.

Staying in her place, she quietly observed the desert pony with interest, wondering what she was up to but deciding not to break her concentration. Her companion was on the couch after not too long and simply staring at her. She took the cue and slowly sat up in the cot, a yawn escaping her usual emotionless face. "Good morning, Theera. I hope you had a good sleep."

" I´ve rested very well, Thanks." she replied to Forte
"You said you would help me. so would you? Because I have lot of work today. I need to get paper and a quill to make a kind of flyer to introduce "The creators" to the people and I have to prepare my speech I want to do. And so much other things."

Forte nodded her head slightly while standing from her cot, repositioning her goggles that had shifted ever so slightly in her sleep. "Of course I will help you with your supplies and activities." She replied simply, turning towards Theera after a moment. "I need to search for anypony who may need help this evening to boost morale in the city as best I can, but all of your time is my time until then."

Theera smiled visibly happy.
"So, if you want to help me it would the best, if I introduce you with my religion and later you can help me with my speach then. Sounds this good for you?"

Forte took in the offer from Theera, face unchanging as she nodded her head lightly. "I would be very interested in helping you with your cause. It has captured my interest quite well." She replied simply, keeping her senses directed toward the desert pony with her, even if her face wasn't. "I will aid you in any way you see fit.'

Theera sat down
"Well, better take a comfortable seat, this story could be a bit long.
At first I have to tell you the story of my ancestors, who have
discovered the temple in the desert and founded our city there. After this I can tell you everything about "the Creators".

Forte simply nodded her head as she made her way to her couch, quietly taking a seat while keeping her senses focused on Theera. "You have my full attention, do not be afraid to tell me anything. I will listen to everything you say."

Theera took a big breathe and then started.


"Long time ago, even before Princess Luna returned from the moon, a small
group of ponies was formed in Equestria. The leader was a young
stallion, who wanted to explore the world far behind the Equestrian
borders. He started to call other adventurers and explorers together, to
form the group for the expedition. Earth ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns
from all over Equestria followed the call. They all met in Canterlot,
where the journey started. They headed to the east over the Equestrian
borders to the Zebra-Kingdom."


"The Zebras let them rest and tried to persuade the ponies from heading
deeper into the east. The Zebras told the ponies there would only be
death in the deserts. A few Ponies left the group, some headed back to
Equestria, some stayed in the Zebra Kingdom. The remains of the group
ignored the advice of the zebras and continued their journey. They went
further into the east. The land became more and more lifeless and dry.
The walked over Huge mountains and through deep and dangerous canyons.
They lost two ponies in the canyons to a rockslide; but everyone was
intent on continuing their journey."


"After they left the Canyons behind, they had gotten out of the frying pan
into the fire. Behind the Canyons were only deserts. Sand as far as the
eye could see and beyond. The walked through the deserts for days. They
lost many ponies because of the heat and the strain. On the fifth day,
when most of the ponies had even lost their hopes, something happened.
When the ponies had accepted their death, they all saw an apparition of a
creature which looked a bit like an Alicorn, but it was bigger and
shone bright. The creature told the ponies to follow him and it lead
the ponies to a small oasis which had palms with coconuts, and a water
source.The creature disappeared, and the ponies started to drink and
eat. Near the oasis was a big temple. The ponies started to build a town
around the temple and the oasis. This was the foundation of Pyreha."

Forte silently listened to the story, not moving an inch while 'staring' at Theera and keeping her senses fully focused on the earth pony. Slightly nodding her head every so often to confirm she was still listening to the information, she took it in with great interest, even if her blank expression hid said interest. Once her companion finished speaking, she shifted ever so slightly in her seat.

"That is a very harrowing tale; those ponies had great courage to go on a journey to the vast reaches of the unexplored world." She replied flatly, the tone betraying the interest her phrase held. "That does raise the question of who built the temple out there, but that is not my interest at this point in time. I am interested in that alicorn figure."

(((I'm going to lurk and read this thread. Im just dropping this post here so my auto-notification thing tells me. ^^ )))

Theera answered to forte
"I tell you, but I do it in the right order. anyway.....where was I... ah yeah"


"The ponies built the city between the temple and the oasis. After they have built the first houses they startet to inspect the temple. The front doors were really huge, but they were made out of stone and were very heavy. The ponies had a hard time to open the heavy doors, but they got it. Behind the doors was a huge throne room with big thrones, which probably were made for creatures like the one the ponies have seen a few days ago. The room was decorated with gold and all sort of gems and the walls were painted with huge pictures of this creatures and ponies. Some ponies started to decrypt the symbols and pictures to find out more about this place. The pictures showed, the creatures were some like a higher race which came from a far away world. The world was symbolized by a huge red planet. The world they came from consisted of canyons and mountains alike the one the ponies passed. The only difference was, they were more red and orange and it seemed like their complete world were this desolate. But the creatures didn´t came to this world to only live on it, they came to create new live. They created plants and all other living things. The griffons, the zebras and many other races. Even the ponies were made by them. The races lived in peace and harmony with each other and they praised their creators as gods. Together they built towns all over the world and one temple in the Desert, were the creators could regin over everyone. But then the races splited. The griffons were the first ones who wanted to live in their own country and so they moved away from theiy creators. Soon the zebras did the same and walked away, too. Only the ponies still were loyal to their creators. After a few years watching over the ponies, the creators decided toleave this world to go back to their own. But the ponies couldn't live without any leaders. One of the creators had a very huge love to the ponies and so decided to not just leave the planet.He decided to create the first alicorns, to lead the ponies. After this he disapeared the alicorns led the ponies to a far away land which now is known as Equestria."

Forte somehow fell more silent than usual as she listened to the story intently, nodding her head along with Theera's words to give her a sign that she was still paying attention to her. Eventually the earth pony finished speaking and she had a chance to reply. Pausing for a moment too wrap her head around what she had been told, she spoke up.

"These creators are marvelous." She stated simply, her blank 'stare' still locked onto Theera. "I wish of nothing more than to learn more about them. Please share your wisdom with me, Theera."

"I wouldnt call it wisdom,
but I learned pretty much of my father. I´m even one of the ponies who can actually read the language of the Creators and I can speak it a bit. I don´t know how the ponies figured out how to speak it only from written words.... but anyway, I wanted to tell you more about the creators.


The ponies decided to call the mighty creatures "the Creators".The ponies investigated more and more of the temple. A few ponies learned the old symbol language well enough to read it. They found instructions to grow food in the deserts and how to build materials, which were hard enough to withstand sandstorms. The ponies started to build a complete new culture in the deserts. The temple was really huge and it had many rooms. One room was called "the prophecy chamber" because it mentioned five prophecies on the walls. I was only once in this room, but I remember everything that was written on the walls.


The first Prophecy mentioned a huge event for the ponies. The first alicorn mare was shown on the walls She was the mightiest creature on earth after the last Creator left this world. She was the one who raised the sun and the moon. She kept the balance between light and shaodow. She ruled over a long time, but she got old. She gave birth to two alicorn sisters. A bright one and a dark one. They both took over the duties of her mother when they were old enough. The bright one was going raise the sun and the dark one was going raise the moon. They both lived in symbiosis. Together they ruled over the ponies with the wisdom and the justice they learned from their mother.


The second Prophecy
showed a more dark event. It showed the dark alicorn which started to bear a grudge against her sister, because when her sister was awake, every pony was awake. But when she herself was awake, most ponies were sleeping. The dark alicorn got angry, but before she could do anything her sister banished her far away to the moon. The elder sister took over the duty from her sister and raised the moon and the sun.


The third Prophecy
was one that was conflicted unto itself- predicting both the coming of
the wrathful Alicorn, and her return into the fold of Equestrian
society. The prophecies words were precise to be sure, but ambiguous up
until the point that it happened; today we know that it was both
Nightmare Moon's
return and her eventual return to peace that this predicted. The
Wielders of Harmony took upon the darkness that was Nightmare Moon, and
through trial and tribulation, succeeded into turning the impenetrable
darkness of her spirit back into the peaceful benevolence of Luna. The
moon was eventually returned to its rightful Mistress, and the balance
between day and night had been restored."


"These three Prophecies went true till now, but we have no clue when the other two will going to happen." Theera added.




"Anyway..


The fourth Prophecy is the one we fear the most. It shows the
world, which still lives in peace and harmony, but then some strange
things will happen. A huge shadow rises over the world. It will cause
Chaos and destruction and it is mentioned that many creatures will die
of this shadow. The big worry about this prophecy concerning to the
incompleteness of it. The wall, which it was written on, got damaged and
we couldn´t decrypt the rest of the messege. Everyone hopes there will be a solution against this shadow, but we even don´t know when this will happen. After I saw much of the pain and destruction the griffons bring to Equestria, it's possible the prophecy was about this. But I don´t know it. After all I really hope this is the thing the prophecy mentioned, otherwise something even worse could happen...... I hope the best.


The fifth Prophecy
is one of the most awaited one. It mentioned the return of the
Creators. It shows a portal which will open over the temple. The
creators will come through it with something like ships and they will take everypony who is near the temple with them on their ships, into their home world. The problem is, the prophecy doesn´t
show any hint about the time or how we will know that it will happen. I
totally can´t wait to see at least one of them, but maybe they will
arrive, when I leaved this world.


Well.... I think this were the most important things about my religion. any questions?"

Forte listened to Theera's words without so much as a peep or twitch, completely engrossed by the information that washed over her like a relaxing shower. Her face kept its usual near-lifeless expression and hiding any hint of interest she actually did hold for the desert pony's beliefs. "The creators must be very powerful to be able to predict what was to come so accurately." She finally stated in reply, voice falling flat just like any other point in time. "I do so hope the prophecy of darkness was this war, but there is a good chance this could also happen long after our flames burn out. The others were spaced millenniums apart, and the incident resulting in the return of our great moon princess was no too long ago in the grand scheme of things."

Theera was happy about Fortes interrests in her religion.
"The prophecy is certainly not about this griffon invasion, but if it is about this, we have a good opportunity to be still alive when "The Creators" arrive.
I really, really hope the prophecy meant this, otherwise something real bad will happen.....
Anyway, we have to start our work, we need to introduce "The Creators" to the others to give them hope in these times of darkness.
Any ideas how to start?"

Forte nodded her head slightly as she stood up from her seat on the couch, taking a step closer to Theera while increasing the range of her senses. "The most productive route to take would be to put up information that will also set a meting place to which they will need to arrive." She replied simply. "If we do that, we will only find ponies who are interested in learning about these creators. If we step up to ponies who are uninterested we could possibly annoy them and that would not help our cause."

Theera replied "That´s true, but where can we make this meeting point? I don´t know this city. And about the information, we should make leaflets or posters to infrom about the meeting point."

"It would be best to make the meeting place somewhere the griffons are unable to see. There is only one major location of which I am familiar, but I am unsure weather or not the owner would allow us to use it for such a purpose." Forte replied, shifting her weight ever so slightly while standing in place. "And I will allow you to take care of such forms of information distribution. I cannot see enough details to write."

"uh okay, I write the flyers but you can still help me with it to find the right words for it. And were is these place you´re talking of?."

"That should be acceptable." Forte replied calmly once Theera was finished speaking. "There is a clinic right by the large market which has been built in the largest open location down here. I recently received a job there, so I know the owner. She is very kind, so I am sure she will help out our cause."

Theera smiled "That would be great if she allows us to speak there. But better ask firts before we make the posters and flyers. I don´t want to work for nothing.
maybe you can lead me to this place, and we can talk together to her? and on the way we could start o think of a good speech."

Forte nodded lightly in response. "Of course I shall lead you to the clinic. It would be best to find our location before we finalize anything." She replied simply, taking a few steps away from Theera to leave the small living area of hers. "It is not too far away from here."

Theera followed Forte "I never thought a Blind pony would guide me someday, hi hi." Theera was happy to know a pony who can lead her in this foreign city.
