It was night time over the peaceful land of Equestria, everypony has went to bed and the nocturnal animals have came out of their dens to rule the night. Princess Luna watched over the land, smiling she retreated from her balcony to her royal bedchambers for the night. The bedchamber was relatively new and it had took a while to redecorate, since it was an old storage tower, but, in the end, it looked almost like the Luna princesses' old tower, what was destroyed soon after her transformation. The ceiling was black and had Quartz spheres dotting the black myrtle-ebony wood representing the night sky, the walls, like the rest of the castle had a tall line of gold, but the rest of the walls where a dark blue, similar to the blue Luna was when she was released from her hate.

The interior was nothing to special to look at either, there was a vanity mirror, a large, round, purple bed, with matching velvet, blanket, a large, pair of navy blue doors, the same color as her walls, a rug, that also represented the stars, on top of a simple, oak floor, and a few cabinets, and a large oak chest, with gold trimming. satisfied of her nights work, she would now roam the dreams of her subjects, she took of her breast plate, and slipped out of her hoof-plates, and sighed, Equestria was so different than it was one thousand years ago, it was simple, and the only piece of technology that was rarely used, was an abacus, oh she missed the simple times, she laid on her bed, and sighed, she eventually thought it was time to see what her kingdom where up to in the slumber, so she got comfortable in her large, round bed and focused on her realm of dreams, and was deep inside of her dream land within seconds.

Over in the Everfree, the ‘Eye of nightmare,’ what remained of the mare in the moon silhouette, that disappeared over a year ago, believed to be the essence of Nightmare Moon, that the Elements Of Harmony created by expelling princess Luna's past hatred, and banishing it to the moon, shimmered through the leaves of the canopy of the mysterious forest, reaching towards an opening, near a dark castle, overrun by the forests' foliage, the castle of the royal pony sisters.
The eye of nightmare flashed an orange light, blinking out of existence. The leaves of the Everfree trees surrounding the castle blew franticly, a small tornado of wind bristling the outline of the opening of the canopy. The wind grew stronger, and the very branches of the forest where torn off, In the centre of the chaos, a small orange-white blob blinked into existence, it rippled as the sound crackling lightning and that of a light chuckle follow, the sound of the light laughter poured out of the gelatinous, floating object. The blob grew at an amazingly fast rate, the child-like chuckle deepened, and changed into a more maniacal laughter.

The blob sprouted four stumps on its lower-half, and a larger stub, out of its upper-hemisphere.
The four stumps grew into one meter long, slender legs, and the big stump at the top of the laughing object grew a muzzle, and two craters and a large dagger-like bone near the top of its skull-like shape. The figure changed color, from a dull orange, to a glowing white. The mass of white, grew in detail, in mere seconds, it looked exactly like that of an equine skeleton.

The skeleton then covered itself in layers of red muscle tissue. It then sprouted two; sharp, white spikes on its side, which also had a layer of muscle. More spiked appeared on the main spider leg-like spike, the rest of the body then covered itself with a thin layer of light-grey skin.

The two holes on the front of the head grew two white blobs, with a slight shade of red; the left adapting a black slit, and an orange iris, and a black pupil in the centre of the white and orange blob, the other red tinted circle glowed brighter, a pinkish, jagged, scar line emerging though the eye. A dull grey-blue skin stretched across and filled the gap between the jagged, grey, spikes, creating a large pair of grey bat-like wings with a red trimming.

Large, red, metallic armor, with an orange trim sprouted on the figure, connected by chain-mail. The armored thestral-unicorn’s hooves touched the ground, he wore a similar helmet and hoof-plates to the fallen Nightmare Moon, except he had a large chip on the right of his helmet, and he wore full-body armor, his mane and tail where like the two reigning princesses, except it was a dark purple, and it had an orange trimming. A grin emerging, revealing his dagger-like fangs, he looked at his surroundings, noticing the moon, without a silhouette, his smirk, turned into a devilish grin, he took a deep breath in, then laughed, his entire body adapted a dark, blood-red aura. “yes, at long last, I am free from that cauldron of a prison, and that, wasteland that once held my foalish moron of a sister” his voice reeked of anger and was saturated with a hatred growl “Fear me Equestria, for your king is back, and he is bringing back the death penalty” his twisted laughter continued, his horn glowed a large, orange aura, and an even larger, red aura.

“for I am Theia (Fay-a) Eclipse,” an impossibly large, orange, magical charge of energy, with an orange spiral, gushed out of his horn, the beam of magical lightning attracted a hoard of storm-clouds, they engulfed the entire sky for at least a 500x500 km area around him. Theia’s maniacal roar of a laughter echoed across the seemingly endless sky of clouds
“This is my kingdom again, Celestia Eclipce, so surrender to your brother and your ‘little ponies’ may live!” his laughter continued, as the sound of crackling lightning was heard, and the screen grew darker and darker, until it was as dark as the intentions of the angry god, Theia.
