Lime Tree had always felt... out of place. As an earth pony, he found himself trapped between a silly, misguided jealousy for the other pony races, and pride for his strong earth pony heritage. He didn't hate unicorns or pegasai, but he did envy them at times. It was true that earth ponies were physically the strongest, and had a deep connection to the land itself, but unicorns could do some of the same things they did with their magic.
"That never did seem fair," the earth pony thought to himself.
As a foal, he had always wondered why earth ponies did the farming and unicorns were of the rich and famous nobility. In his mind, it made a lot more sense for the earth ponies to make laws, seeing as you don't need a horn or wings to do that.
He typically went into deep thought when on trips, to pass the time. But today, he was coming home from a trip to Canterlot, where he had proposed the very same ideas he was thinking now. He wasn't actually a senator, but he had friends who were. The nobility had chuckled at the thought of mere commoners making national law.
Yessss, race/class conflict, this is a perfect theme to marry with the Godcult Theocracy of Celestia, in a fic about human solutions. We fight for real Equestrian democracy! Still I don't know how I could really juggle that perception of Celestia with the fact that she'd in all liklihood be the one looking for help in the first placy, and certainly she'd be the only one powerful enough to open a portal... What if Celestia has her stuborn pride and wants to find Equestrian solutions, but Twilight comes up with the spell and begs the princess to let her find help? I don't want to make Celestia evil because that isn't fair, however she's definitely flawed. One doesn't need a bad heart to be a bad ruler after all.
