//-------------------------------------------------------// Since the dawn of darkness -by Wolfieclaw1312- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1      After I flunked my exam and ran away every pony forgot about me. I ran away to the Crystal Empire, where I hoped my life would change. It did, in a bad way and sort of in a good way too. I had arrived the the Empire with granted access because of my student records, but I didn't show them my exam paper just in case. I had went inside the castle to look around and meet some new ponies. While I was wandering around I went into the throne room, seeking guidance of how to improve my magic. But then, I saw him. The most beautiful colt I'd ever seen in my entire life!  A short black mane, a lovely grey coat and the most unusual unicorn horn because at the tip,MIT was tinted red. Now tell me, how many unicorns have a natural colour-tinted horn?! I had decided to be brave and go up to him and ask some questions. I had started off with a simple hello. "Excuse me?" I asked "Yes?" He replied "Hi, my name is Forsythia and I just came to the Empire and I was wondering if you knew your way around here because you know, it's big 'n all" I had explained. Then leaning against the wall completely out of breath. That is the most I've spoke I'm my entire life! "Sure! I'll give you a little tour. By the way, my name's Sombra" he said. Awwww. He has the most beautiful voice in the world. "Woah Chrissi! you like Sombra!?! He's just insane in da brain!" "Luna, I'm telling the story here" "Carry on...."    I had followed him practically all day, the tour was amazing! //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue //-------------------------------------------------------// Prologue    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..."
