Rise of Nightmares

My Little Human

Magic is Friendship

Chapter 1

Over one thousand year ago, the mystical land of Equestria was ruled over by three siblings, two sisters, fair and beautiful both, and a brother, handsome and bold. Immortal they were, blessed to rule the land until it’s dying day. Each sibling played a part in the care of Equestria, for not one had greater duty than the other.

The oldest sister, regal and kind, and who’s hair gleamed and flowed like an endless rainbow in the sky, raised the sun everyday to bring to the land the warmth and beauty in needed to grow. She ruled during the day, and was beloved by all for her generosity and kindness.

The eldest sibling, strong and bold, but also kind and just, and through whose body flowed the five elements of nature, watched over the earth, helping it grow with his magic, and kept the people alive through his gifts. He ruled with his sisters, keeping peace throughout the land.

The younger sister and the youngest of the siblings, fair and shy, and who’s hair shone with the starry sky at night, raised the moon every night to bring darkness and beauty to the land, and giving rest to it so that it may give more the next day.  She was loved especially so by her siblings.

Together the siblings watched over the land, ruling with benevolence and grace, and a trinity of harmony was formed between them. Under their rule, the kingdom flourished, growing in both size, and in wealth, and for a while, all was right in the world.

However, darkness soon crept into the land. The youngest sister grew jealous of her siblings, especially her older sister, for while the people loved and played in her sisters day, and worked upon and celebrated her brothers earth, her nights were spent alone as the people chose to shun and sleep during her beautiful night.

Eventually the jealously grew so much, that one beautiful night, when she was supposed to lower the moon so her sister could raise the sun, she decided to keep the moon in the sky and bring night everlasting, refusing to yield to her siblings reign.

Chaos soon followed. The people panicked, for they could not work and grow upon the land with out the sun light. The two elder siblings pleaded and begged their sister to reconsider, especially the brother, whose heart was broken by his sister’s act.

But the younger sister refused to yield, for the bitterness in her heart had turned her into a being of darkness and evil, Nightmare Moon. Reluctantly, the elder siblings banded together, and harnessed the greatest magic of all, the Elements of Harmony. Using the Elements, they banished Nightmare moon into her own vessel, the moon itself.

The eldest sister took then took control of the youngest duties, for the brother could not abandon his watch over the land. Together, the siblings ruled over the land, and brought peace and harmony back to the land. But they always remind mindful the being trapped in the moon, the Lady of the Night.

“Elements of Harmony?” A young woman sat under a tree in the middle of a meadow near a stream, holding a book in her lap. Long, flowing magnata hair was draped down her back and shoulders, with two purple streaks in the center. On her she wore a purple sweater that covered much of her figure, and her purple skirt billowed out around her. Her feet stuck out of her skirt, which were covered in black stockings and slip on shoes. On her left hand, covering most of the front, was a couple of sparkles, purple and pink She stared up into the sky, deep purple eyes lost in thought. “Where have I heard that before…”

Closing the book, she got up, brushing her skirt as she did so. “Well,” She said, with a a confident grin on her face. “Might as well check the library.” She turned and ran towards the an exit of the garden, and headed towards a giant white castle, white from marble and stone. It’s tall, majestic towers were raised high into the sky, proud and imposing. The proud symbol of Equestrian power, and the capital of the land

Canterlot.

‘Concentrate.’

Inside the castle,  man stood in the middle of a pond, his young body rigged in a stance. He wore a red long sleeve shirt, with a v neck at the top, and long black pants, which were rolled up. His feet were bare, and he wore long, full gloves on his hands. His brown hair was cropped back shortly, and his ruby red eyes were narrowed close in concentration. In his left hand, he held a wand, pointing it at a vase, which was standing on top of a bench a few feet away.

‘Focus on the vase.”’The voice said again, coming from his right. It had a halting, beautiful lit to it, all most unreal. ‘Remember what I taught you. Visualize the vase, and where you want it to go.’

Sweat poured down the young mans face, stinging his eyes and dripping down to the pond. Yet he focused only on the vase, just as he master instructed. The vase glowed with a red aura, and floated into the air ‘Good, now… Cast the sp-‘

Something in front of him flashed before his eyes,  something purple and pink. He blinked, losing all sense of concentration.

And sending him straight into the pond below.

The water was freezing as he fell in to it, jarring his senses. Gasping, he came to the surface just in time to see who had broken his concentration. “Who?!?” Eyes widening in recognition, he growled angrily at whom he saw running away from him. “ Son of a…” Swimming towards the edge of the pong where his boots lay, he quickly pulled them on, and ran after the culprit. “ You better pray to Celestia that I don’t catch you!!”

He ran through streets, corridors, and every which way, knocking over some people and manuvering around others. heading further and further into the castle. He saw them take a turn towards one of the towers, and followed in pursuit. The culprits were opening a tower door. He quickend his pace. Almost there.

Just as he was about to reach it, however, the door slammed in his face. Nose throbbing, he backed away, holding it gingerly. Shock gave way to anger, and he ran towards the door, and burst inside, running up the stairs.

Bursting into the room, Fiery Comet yelled at the top of his lungs.

“TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!!!!!”
