"Before the rhyming," written by Moustache Queen.
Hello young reader, I have never seen before come for a tale isn't not for all the more?
I know I don't make sense at sometimes but would you like to rhyme all day and night?
So come along my friends or foes hear my tale of my heartbreaking sorrow...
The sun was rising in the dark horizon the Sunhanna plains looked like they were rising
from a deep slumber.
The old brown bare trees rattled loudly by the warm gushes of wind, the grass flicked
and swished licking the pale sunlight.
The sun itself began to turn from pale dark pink and red to beautiful colours of orange
and white, it's soft flames slowly turned into warm gushes of powerful flames...
The small tribe of Zebra's began to wake from their peaceful slumber as well, slowly they
began to grab their buckets and baskets ready for harvesting...
In one small straw made hut a lone female Zebra walked out holding a straw basket on
her head, this female Zebra was called Zecora and today...
My first Clear Water Harvest!
She thought...
Clear Water Harvest was a great tradition for the tribe, the Zebra's travel far and
wide for three days in search of Clear Water from the Lion's valley.
It's a dangerous yet adventurous tradition...
Zecora smiled and happily walked out of her warm hut she turned her head to gaze at the
beautiful sun on the horizon.
Zecora smiled, never before had she felt like this since....well....yesterday...
Zecora shook her head and turned her attention to the rest of her tribe, a lone black Zebra
with white stripes stood with no basket...
That Zebra was the leader his name was: Millock...it meant in Sunhanna warm hearted...
Millock raised his head his eyes glowed in joy and excitement...
"Fellow Zebra's!
It is our time once more to begin our Clear Water Harvest celebration!"
Millock cheered.
Zecora and her tribe-mates began to stomp their hooves in excitement..
"I hope you all come back safely if not, them may Cord guide you!"
Millock smiled.
Zecora shuddered, Cord, as their God of Life and Death, both Merciful and Selfish.
He both had different sides, Zecora shook her head.
She wasn't going to Cord now!
Not when she's going to prove everypony that she's the best Clear Water Harvester Ever!
Millock slowly turned around his head, and after a few heart beats he showed a long willow
made horn with a wolf head, Millock slowly raised the horn...
Zecora and her tribe-mates turned, crouching in racing positions...
Millock placed the horn in his mouth..
Zecora felt somepony whisper something along the lines of "I'm gunna die"
Millock heaved and blowed, the horn made a high pitched howl of a real wolf...
Zecora charged dust flinged around her trapping and protecting her in a storm of dust, slowly
the dusty ground turned to yellow grass Zecora turned her head to see tiny figures of Zebra's
departing the group, each going to other Clear Water Pools...
Zecora chuckled to herself and turned her gaze back to the front, trees began to from
around her.
Grass turned from yellow to green flowers began to appear around Zecora.
She felt the wind softly blow into her mane.....
Oh how she loved this new found freedom...
Slowly Zecora felt a light on the horizon she squinted her eyes and smiled.
Quickly Zecora added her paste, she was going faster than she did before...
Water appeared on the horizon, Zecroa slowly let her basket fall down to her back.
Zecora smiled in victory....
Who knew that the smiled turned into horror?
Zecora skidded and tumbled and rolled over landing face first onto the dusty Sunhanna
floor...
Their drinking water in the Clear Water Pool was the biggest Lion Zecora had ever seen,
it's pale green eyes gazed as its reflection, it's pale golden fur was shreaded and torn.
It's long and bushy chocolate brown mane was pale with grey streaks in it, Zecora gasped
as she saw the Lion's fur....it's ribs were showing...
Zecora slowly let herself up, she slowly walked backwards leaving her basket....
She should of looked what she was treading on.....
SNAP Zecora froze, the Lion turned its gaze from
the pool and turned its mighty torn head to Zecora.
It's eyes gazed at Zecora...for a moment Zecora relaxed......
Then the Lion attacked, it charged and one swift paw strike it knocked Zecora off her
feet and smash onto the floor.
It pounced and trapped Zecora in its huge sharp grey claws...
Zecora should of been screaming in terror, but her mouth felt dry with fear.
She only let out moans of terror.
The Lion slowly let its massive mouth down,it opened its jaws wide showing its sharp knife-like
teeth.
Zecora closed her eyes waiting for her death...
"HIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"
Yelled a Voice.
Zecora pricked her ears up she slowly let her eyes peek open.
She felt weight heave off her...Zecora shot up and crouched preparing to attack the Lion,
but she never did, she only gasped...
Their on the Lion was a large Snake-Like Creature it's pony head was laughing, it's eyes were
closed shut.
It's long Snaggletooth hanged out....
It seemed this creature was riding the Lion?
Zecora slowly let her mind reel back to her tribes temple, a Lion and a Snake-Like Creature
riding it?
Is the prophecy true?
Is this really the Zebra's God Cord?
Zecora stood in silent and awe, hereyes widened as the mysterious creature grabbed a rope
and tided it around the Lion's neak, the Lion growled but its old shaky legs gave in.
The Lion collapsed, letting out soft moans of "I yield....I yield..."
Zecora just stood their, her mouth gaping...
Discord stood their, smiling...
"Wait wait wait!"
Apple Bloom yelled Zecora stopped her story, her eyes widened
in confusion and amusement, she slowly lowered her gaze and stared at the lone Yellow filly.
Who was sitting on a green cushion..
"What is it young one?
Is it to difficult to understand from your young love?"
Zecora asked.
"No I mean...Discord was evil...before...and young love? but...THIS DOSENT MAKE SENSE!"
Apple Bloom yelled.
Zecora sighed...
"It is true Apple Bloom Discord was my saviour when I was Lion Food, he was our God Called
Cord.
Though I didn't know it was Discord Apple Bloom faced hoofed.
"I just don't get it!"
Apple Bloom yelled.
Zecora smiled.
"Young Apple Bloom its time to leave you now, be back tomorrow for the final sow" Zecora
shield "Sow?
Sow?
Oh my Celestia sometimes I think you got Discord's Chaos Lesson I'll go BUT you better tell me
the TRUTH tomorrow!"
Apple Bloom yelled.
Zecora smiled as the little Yellow filly ran out of the door, and into the EverFree forest...
Young Apple Bloom this is the truth indeed and when you say it doesn't make sense....well...what's
the fun of making sense?

Sorry for no uploads last week, I was severely busy with school.
I’m glad to say I’m finally back on my hooves and I’ll start uploading videos consistently
again.
Thank you all for your continuous support throughout the channel, I’m so sorry I haven’t
been uploading consistently or uploading any rewritten episodes actually because my life
was so busy and treacherous these last few weeks.
Ever since school came in its been keeping me very busy and I couldn’t upload videos
consistently because I was really busy with that.
I take my studies as a priority more than anything.
But don’t worry fellow viewer!
I’m not dead!
Its just that… this happened because I was trying to just to my new school, especially
if it’s high school.
However, now that my life is more organized and I adjusted to my new school, I can finally
pursue my passion, and that is telling stories to you guys!
By the way, I thank all of you for 174 subscribers!
You guys have been very supportive and I really appreciate it, thank you all so much.
I’m very close to 200 subscribers and I can’t thank you all enough, thank you all
so much!
Just one little announcement, thank you all for your votes on my channel update.
I have decided that I will be doing vlogs every once in a while.
I’ll probably start doing them around November or December so expect them once or twice a
month.
Anyways, as always, thank you for listening fellow viewer.
And if you haven’t already, subscribe for more readings like this one every Saturday.
Alright, that’s it for me, this is Snogwritts, signing out.
