This is the dawn of darkness. A time when you hide from beings that were once your friends, and seek help from your enemies. The darkness is here and there is little anypony can do to stop it.

The day began as any other for Private Eye, a case came in and he had to solve it right? Then the case expanded, and darkened. Mere days after the case opened it changed. To a war. A war against an unspeakable enemy with a taste for blood and an obsession with darkness.

This is the dawn of a dark era, one that will consume two worlds in an unimaginable war for survival.
Who can be trusted? Who will live? Who will fight? What measures will be undertaken? What will be lost? When will it end?

(I understand that human tends to be a turn off, so I have kept the human factor in book one to an absolute minimum. I also know that Religion is a sore subject for some, and this story has some religious references and undertones, but they're not central themes [it's not even actual religious stuff, it's fairly minor reference to a religious institution] and can be easily ignored if you just want to read about grim-dark vampire stuff)

Introduction

Introduction:

"For a nation has come up against my land, powerful and beyond number; its teeth are lions' teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness." -Joel 1:6

This is a chronicle off the dark times.

There is no happy ending in the foreseeable future, only death.

The events of this time are strange, unlike any other in Equestrian history.

This is a record of the final case of Ponyville Militia Detective Private Eye; I am documenting this because the effects of what has transpired are far-reaching and disastrous.

So to prevent the history of these times from falling into obscurity, and thus insuring that others may one day find these notes, and arm themselves for what will come for them I am taking it upon my self to record my investigation and campaign

This is the dawn of the dark times; this is the reaping. And it won’t be stopped.
