Evil; a word, a term to describe despicable actions, a phrase used in jest sometimes when one does something funny to others, an idea.

It is a part of the driving force of the soul of all sentient life and the downfall of those same lives. Evil always corrupts the least expected being of a race. They rise over the rest of the beings and rule them all with an iron fist and fear.

But just what is Evil? Evil is many things that cannot be explained in any shape or form. At least, not in mere words and expressions can best describe the awesome force that Evil truly is. It hides in plain sight and joins the light in an attempt to eat it from the inside out. It alters the innocent and makes the guilty indulge in their pleasure.

Many have aligned with Darkness as a way to try and give Evil a face. Sadly, this is not true. Evil comes in many faces and it hides amongst the Light; the people who are good never truly know how close to evil they are.

That is how my people worked; they allowed Evil to infiltrate the government leading to corruption and power struggles within the government. Massive build up of arms to try and get ahead of the other nations. Fools, the lot of them to believe that they had been one step ahead of the other nations when in reality, they were several steps behind. The other nations had surpassed them in terms of weaponry and arms.

It was this idea that had led to a great amount of Wars that plagued my kind for well over hundreds of years. From the day we managed to learn how to use tools to the last day my kind used the weapons of mass eradication to end our reign of this world, war had been ruled by Evil dressed as good.

This ultimately led to the final war of my people; the third world war.

It had been…disastrous.

The capture of every major religious sect - Judaism, Islam, Christianity, and believers in Darwinism were rounded up and taken to several camps where they were tortured, experimented on, disemboweled, and cut up to serve as meat for the troops.

There were other captures too. Political, truth, and espionage captures; no one was safe. Ah, those were the best years of my young life. Until they targeted my family, that was their biggest mistake of their life. When the bombs went off and when the dust had settled, I took over.

Some tried to justify their Evil actions for some greater purpose – a Greater good if you will for that fatal war. Sadly, this is still evil just disguised as Good. I punished them for their so-called reasons by inflicting the same things that they had done to their children…and made them watch.

I am now the last of my kind, immortal due to something in my genes, trapped in an everlasting body and a never-ending burning of hate; hate at the gods who laugh at my plight, hate at those who have forgotten my race, hate at those who fail to understand Evil. But ultimately, I hated myself for believing that I could undo my kind’s curse, my lot of life, my shame.

Now, I embraced my nature, my dead race’s way. What was once my grief and shame, has now become my joy and pride.
Who am I, you the one who reads this ask? It is simple. I am Evil made flesh, rage became my soul, and darkness became my mind.

I am the Overlord, the last of the human race. I am the one who conquered the realms. Who laid waste to the illusion of peace and good, shackled freedom, and re-leased the titan of war! I ruled the realms for close to thirty thousand years with an iron fist!
All who was under my rule knew fear and awe at my powers with the dark forces. I knew the most forbidden of spells; the powers to create matter from mere emptiness, the power to change anything I wished, and the most fearsome power of all; the power to destroy anything I willed. These forbidden arts were mine and mine alone to command.

But I forgot the saying my family always said before their…passing. “Power corrupts but absolute power corrupts absolutely.” I became corrupted by my power and lust for more. I descended into madness and in that madness; I released my monster before falling to those…ALICORNS!

Yes, those beings of purity and goodness. After they had defeated my creation, a being of chaos that I called Draco-equines, who had later turned on me, they turned their gaze to my rapidly expanding empire. Fighting for over a decade, they managed to confront me in my tower with my oldest friend. Using a force of power called the Elements of Harmony they stripped my body of my soul and sealed it into this black crystal. Incidentally, the elements had caused my warriors to fall into deep slumber.
But they underestimated my power, my desire, and my ferocity. From that same crystal, I whispered and corrupted a young mind that was under the elder’s tutelage to seek out the black arts. I chortled in my prison as they were forced to banish Sombra. But I had him prepare for this; he had taken the spell I had given him to bind the empire to him so that if something happened to him, he would take it with him.

In the aftermath, I had enough power to speak to the two and I gave them a chilling message.

When the Mare of the Night returns and is defeated, when the Dragon of Disharmony returns to stone, and when the Empire of Crystal returns and its emperor defeated, when these three forces of Darkness have waxed full, I will return and reclaim my throne of power and destroy anyone who dares get in my way.

Drained of the last bit of my power, I fell into a sleep with the feelings of cold dread of the two alicorns warming my cold, dead heart.

For Evil always finds a way.
