A short dialogue for a specific style contest, where two royal mares with opposing positions debate each other. (And with short I mean 851 words, not 1022.)

The only rule for this contest is to use nothing but spoken words (and no formatting) to tell the story. It was a fun endeavor so I decided to give it a try.

Here is the description of the contest:

Note: The archaic English chosen is a middle-path between readability and accuracy. Skipping hath and a myriad of changes in verbs and constructs. Hopefully the switch from Royal Canterlot voice to more modern Luna will still be noticed.

Back in the ancient times, just after the defeat of Nightmare Moon, Equestria was a fairly different place. The magic of the world was untamed, shaping the lives of all creatures, and the wilds were, indeed, wild. Strange creatures and bizarre vistas could be found all over, like an artist's strokes cross a breathtaking painting.

It was in these times that Fantasia Lexicon was born, a mare with a rather... peculiar way of seeing the magic that flowed through all living things.

Hi, Everypony! It's Pinkie Pie. Just sharing some diary entries from my childhood about one of my favorite toys as a foal in story format. Hope you enjoy!

A mouse, lost, hurt, and afraid, makes its way to the only pony it thinks can help. Its a shame the mouse is too injured to be helped.

Sunset Shimmer finds a new way to become an alicorn.

Regret could sum up V's existence. Regret for what he'd done as a whole being, regret for what his other half had done, regret for causing so much destruction...

Regret for causing the split at all. But he played the hand he was dealt, and despite it all, death was not a wish he desired.

So, he merged once again.

And... He wasn't where he expected to be.

This is purely slice of life. Cover drawn by me.

Friendships come and go, and for me, what once was a great time faded into nothingness. These days I sit around at home, doing nothing but living off the inheritance that my parents left for me. Sometimes, I turn to My Little Pony, reminiscing about the golden years of youth, when friendships and innocence flourished with glee.

I wish for a bit of magic. Something that can truly brighten up my life for years to come.

For all emergencies, call 911. An operator will be with you shortly to assist you.

What if…  Sunset Shimmer had not just wound up at Canterlot High when she passed through the mirror, but instead had found herself in a world of supervillains and heroes, where costumed characters fought it out in the skies of New York and one young woman with no powers in this world did not have a chance to rise to her destiny.  So she decided to fix that problem, only to find her problems had just begun.

Meet Summer Lewis, a young supervillain created by The Consortium and later freed of their control by the Guardians.  Since then, she has passed in and out of the justice system, most recently released on probation only to find keeping on the right side of the law is far more difficult than it seems.

Much like where she came from originally.

Queen Haven and Alphabittle are officially getting married! Zipp certainly didn’t expect this announcement. She didn’t think it would happen so quickly and so soon. As she and Pipp attempt to grapple with the new father figure in their lives, Misty is petrified about becoming part of the Royal Family, fearing that she will never fit in as the only unicorn princess in a family traditionally composed of pegasi…
