Taking Back the Throne
Red Raptor. Savior, dictator, and finally, demon.
Decades ago, at the dawn of a new age, we were abandoned. Both the sun and moon left us, throwing us to the hungry clutches of chaos and anarchy. Driven to the brink of oblivion by lawlessness and disorder, a lone soul rose. His name was Red Raptor.
Captain of the Royal Guard and slayer of the One, he took up the mantle of the people. Enacting martial law, he eventually stopped the ravaging fire that was chaos. Deemed savior, he transformed the Royal Guard into the 'Military'.
With our times of need and desperation behind us we called for him to step down, to relinquish the scepter of our princesses. He refused. Watching in disbelief as he cut down all who opposed him, we learned to call him dictator.
With both the Ages of Light and Dark past, he began a new age, the age of Oppression. A stallion of his word, he promised to lead us until the end. Little did we know, he would deliver us there. With a lust for unflinching loyalty and illimitable dominion, he gave his enforcers immunity to law and reason to act without honor or morals. Never before has Equestria known such malice or evil. Burying himself in soldiers and flesh, he now only deserves the title of 'demon'.
But the time has come to guide the resistance and end the true tyranny. Taking up the spear of my father I will see Equestria returns to the light. Here I stand face to face with the devil himself; I have a choice to make. Soon Equestria will know a new savior: me, Sapphire Spectrum. And with death coming down on the oppression of the people, Equestria will once again know the light.
