The darkness of the night cast a shadowy blanket over Equestria. The moon was up at its highest, shining brighter than it ever had before. The only sound was the ponies' breathing and the whistling winds.

Over the dark mossy fields of Ponyville, stone statues stood lifelessly. A statue of a pony holding a flag, for example. Or one with Cupid's bow. All had one similar trait: they were without a speck of movement.

Or so they thought.

A cracking sound filled the air. It was a abnormal cracking sound, not the sound of something brushing a Ponyville house. It was the sound of stone breaking. Not just a little piece or a little brick; a huge, thick, tall stone was beginning to crack open.

When the last piece of stone hit the ground, all seemed to go quiet.

Then, laughter.

Minalical laughter.

Storm clouds filled the air. Nopony was there to clear them so it began to rain abnormal amounts of water. Lighting scorched the trees and the apples on it. The moon disappeared under the ridiculous amount of rain clouds.

The ground has changed too.  The rain hit the ground furiously, and the grass began to wilt with each drop. This was no ordinary rainfall. It was what you could call...chaotic,

However, nopony was awakened by the amount of noise. They kept sleeping, unknown of what was happening.

In the distance, far, far, far away in the Everfree Forest, in a old relic castle, similar to the one of Canterlot, a white majestic tree's branches began to crack.

And the glowing stones inside of them started to fizz and buzz.

Something has disrupted the Elements of Harmony.

Something....that had reigned a long time ago.

Something that was evil.

Something that was....chaotic.
