In Discord's wave of chaos and terror, fear strikes Equestria. His simple little hi jinks turn into darker monstrosities that even he is having trouble bearing...

Painted Darker

Celestia. Defeated.
Luna. Tricked and Cheated.
Trixie. Outsmarted by all.
Fleur Dis Lee. A lonely soul.

All four struggling just to get by…

After Celestia's fall from Discord's chaos, all of Equestria must survive on Luna's power, but Luna can't do it on her own. Discord is too powerful and Luna has stepped down from all her power, leaving it in the hands of Discord. His former hi jinks are replaced by darker advanced skills of an evil magic that no one can try to defeat. Fleur Dis Lee hits rock bottom when Fancy Pants leaves her for Rarity, leaving her in extreme distraught. While Trixie has been damaged from inside and out, after every pony mocks her.

But what do these ponies all have in common?

They are all those who are forgotten, only wanting to paint their lives brighter and fix those who are more broken down then they are. And if you are at rock bottom, it is so much harder to get to the diamond's crust.

A Lonely Soul - A Droned Land

The corral of starving stomachs and the looks of droned ponies surround me, telling a story of loss and despair, sadness and defeat. I tuck my mane under my cape's hood, strolling along as a montage of shops and bakeries fly by my side. I try to keep my walk elegant, but what is the use? For my significant other had left me for another, Discord has taken over Equestria, no pony dares to walk out of their own homes and depression fills the air in a darkened blanket. The only time a pony would dare to walk outside was when the Stands were open. All you'd receive was a dry, rusty pail with stale oats, a fleshed apple and thick, warm water, though all unhealthy and disgusting, if you were desperate (in this case, we all are) you'd be lucky to get a lick of a three day old puddle.

So there I stood in line, I waited.
