pegasi

After the earthponies started poking around Equus for knowledge on how to potentially affect the weather, Life worked with Feast to create the pegasi. A unique form of pony, with feathered wings and lighter bodies to allow for flight, they were seen as miracles and sometimes depicted as the guides' first angels. Their talents leant towards the elements, moving around clouds and sun rays, and generally being a huge aid to the earthponies' agricultural efforts. In return, the earthponies shared their food with the pegasi, and the two races intermingled freely. The addition of the pegasus race to Life's project made Her hopeful that new creations would be as easily accepted. Once the two species dipped their hooves further into alchemy and magical study, She knew what to create next -- a race whose body would be a conduit and container of magical energy, that would allow pony society to flourish in new and exciting ways -- the unicorn.
