Since the dawn of darkness

   Chrysalis walked away from Luna and sat down. Luna was quite concerned about why Chrysalis was looking so sad. So Luna spoke up and asked her,

"Why would you look so sad when being the bad guy is the thing you do best? Does something concern you?". Chrysalis looked up and took a deep breath. She got up on her hooves and walked over to a puddle not far away from Luna and began,

"Oh well, it's started a long time ago." Luna rolled her eyes and interrupted.

"Here we go!". Chrysalis sat up and then continued.

   "I was quite young at the time, and I was a unicorn living in Canterlot and I was a student to Celestia. My name was Forsythia, everyone knew my name. But not for good reasons." Chrysalis explained. "When I got magic lessons, as soon as they were done, I used to go out and use my magic skills for tricks and playing about." Chrysalis started to sniff, and then a tear ran down her face. "At the end of the year, on the highest level, you get an exam and when I got my results... It's when I changed. A fail... I had never been so angry in my life. I had ran away to the undergrounds of the castle, not knowing what can become of me". Chrysalis had now made her puddle even bigger and had been lying in it for a while. Luna was quite surprised of what was this Queen had as a backstory and she had no idea how harsh ponies' life can be, especially if they have became a villain. Luna spoke up and asked,

   "So, your name's Forsythia? It's cool. Though I do remember a pony who was called Forsythia who had a midnight-blue coat with a green mane. By any chance was that you?". Chrysalis nodded her head and then rolled back over in the puddle. Luna just sat there, staring at the wall. We she stares at a wall she thinks, so Luna was thinking. Then, it came to her. She asked Chrysalis one question,

"If you were a pony called Forsythia, how have you become something like this?" . Chrysalis remained silent. Then answered,

" I don't remember a thing about that, but he was there at the time..."
