Elements of Chaos, Darkness of Sins

Date: September 1

Year: 2047

Hi. I’m Index, daughter of the previous Element of Harmony known as Twilight Sparkle. However, I have never met my mother, as she died in the Great War, also known as the ‘Great Equestrian Fall’. Of course, around this time I was only born for about a month or so. I have been raised by a certain pony named Luna who, just like me, lost an important relative in the war. At this point I had been very curious about what had happened in the war and asked around. In my quest for answers I came upon one of the few surviving Elements. Her name was Fluttershy. She had survived the war, but the physical and mental scars left behind were irreversible. Fluttershy had lost many friends to the war. She was now 50, yet she looked exhausted and tired of life. Even so she gave me the full story of what happened during the war. It was very shocking to hear this and it made me cry a few times. But I didn’t have the full story just yet. I had the Elements of Harmony story. All I needed was The Elements of Chaos story.

To get this I travelled to what is known as the Badlands. Such a filthy place! Anyway, I stayed there for about a year. I was going to give up looking for lead, when somepony approached me. At first I didn’t believe him when he said that one of the Elements of Chaos was alive. It wasn’t possible since Fluttershy herself told that she had seen them all killed in battle. Then I met with this supposed Chaos pony. His name was Nitro and, from the descriptions I wrote down from Fluttershy, he looked just like the Nitro that Rainbow Dash had fought to the death with. His body was perfectly normal and not a single scar could be seen. According to Fluttershy he had his Appendix, Humerus, Left eye, and part of his wings ripped from him, along with many bruises and cuts from Rainbow as they fought tooth and claw. I asked him how this was possible.

“That is something I will explain in the story.” He told me. Though I wanted the answer right then, I patiently listened to his story. It was more shocking then I had previously thought. And to think that’s how he lived! After he told me all about what happened I went home and wrote a book on it called: “Elements of Chaos, Darkness of Sins”. I will be presenting this book to all the kids at the library today. I’m so excited to share this info. And maybe a certain somepony will be there… Ah! Y-you didn’t read that! I’m not in love with Deadwind or anything okay!? A-anyway, if you have some time why not drop by the library? You might find this story to be quite interesting.
