Dance of Death

“The Dance of Death”

Prologue

Some might hate me, curse me as I come to take them away.  Others embrace me and still others are fascinated by me.  But what ever you disposition to me is, I will come for you,  everypony dies.  I weave an eternal dance, one that will never stop, never speed up, never slow down or change in any way.  I was dancing before even the Princesses came to this world.  I waltzed through Discords rule. For indeed, I am a waltz, a steady tempo and a simple rhythm.  I danced as peace settled throughout Equestria, but I care little about the ponies there.  They are nothing compared to the complexities of my dance.  They live for such a short time then die, they are ants.  They are numbers waiting to be scratched off a list.  My dance has never faltered except but one time.  Everypony dies, almost everypony.
