Prologue

A cloaked pony cantered into the desiccated throne room of the castle of the royal pony sisters, her hoof steps echoing off the walls in the cavernous hall. She shook off the hood to reveal a tangled mess of hair full of twigs and leaves. Her face was lightly covered in dirt and a long white scar ran across her left cheek. You could tell at a glance that this pony had been living in the woods for a long time. Her coal black eyes stared at the thrones with no felling. She looked up at the banners hanging above the stone chairs and her face filled pure malice. She thought of her plan and her mouth curled up in a cruel smile. She started laughing. It started out as an amused chuckle then grew into an insane roar. Her laughter faded as she looked upon the tapestries again, her smile exposing her long sharp teeth, and said simply, “you should never have betrayed me Luna, I have waited for nearly 1,200 years but I will wait no longer, soon you will pay!”

Chapter one: Poor innocent foals

Pinkie pie looked out her window and saw a hooded pony trot into town. The internal time bomb that was pinkies brain went off in an explosion of confetti and little rainbow gummies. She ran out her door and into the street. She pressed her nose in the ponies face and screamed at the top of her lungs, “NEW PONY!!!!” pinkie tried to push the ponies hood off but she moved to the side and overbalanced pinkie making her flop in the dust of the road. The pony turned and fled toward town hall. Pinkie quickly put on her hay bale costume and sat in the ally waiting for the new pony. When she finally came out she was tucking a certificate of ownership under her cloak. She had bought a house. The pony slid her hood up a bit revealing an ash gray horn. A pitch black aura enveloped her horn and with a flash of bright light, she was gone.

The pony materialized in an empty house on the outskirts of ponyville. She tore of her cloak and through it in the corner. She powered up her horn and started conjuring furniture from thin air. Chairs and tables flew through the air around the mare. When everything was settled she flopped down on the couch and started laughing, a high, cold, heartless sound. She stood up and wiped a tear from her eye and trotted to her bedroom to get some rest. She had a big day of deception ahead of her.
Dusk Star awoke refreshed and happy, well as happy as you can get when you’re an evil mastermind. She looked in her vanity mirror and frowned at her reflection. She stood up again and hopped into the shower. When she returned she used a spell to dry her mane and grabbed a brush in her magic and brushed it. But try as she might she could not get the patch in the back to stay down. She rolled her eyes and grabbed the flat iron. She ran her hair through the hot metal bars a few times then smiled at her reflection. She tried to keep the smile on but it made her face hurt. She gave up and started on her tail. When she was done she looked at a black box sitting on the table. She opened it and immediately despised herself. Is was full of makeup. She reluctantly lifted the mascara brush and set to work “beautifying” her face. When she had finished she looked at her face and nodded with satisfaction. She turned to look at her wings and placed an illusion enchantment on them. She now looked like one of the millions of insignificant ponies in equestria. Just before she left she grabbed her pet python Anarchy from a large tank and wrapped her around her neck.
The second she walked out of her door she was assaulted by a poofy pink blur. She found herself lying face up on the ground with a hyperactive sugar addict with pink hair. “Hi I’m pinkie pie! You’re new so it’s time for your WELCOME PARTY!!!!!”

“Okay!” Dusk said with a bright smile.

She cantered after pinkie as she led her to sugar cube corner. She walked in the door and all the lights where off. She looked for a light switch, just then the lights flickered on and a loud chorus of “SURPRISE!!” Pretty much knocked her off of her hooves. She stood up and looked at the ponies in the bakery. The entire town was there. She zeroed in on 5 more ponies making their way through the crowd to greet her. She recognized them, the six elements of harmony. She smirked internally. When they reached her she plastered the biggest smile she could manage on her face. Ow.

“Hello, I’m Twilight Sparkle welcome to ponyville!” Said the element of magic.

“Thank you! My name is Dusk Star” Said Dusk. She had to try her hardest not to gag.

“Oh darling you look absolutely fabulous!” Said Rarity the element of generosity. Dusk just smiled again.

“Hi.” Said a quiet voice from behind Rainbow dash. Dusk assumed that it was Fluttershy, element of kindness.

“I love your scarf darling!” said Rarity looking at the emerald green snake hanging from her neck.

“Oh it’s not a scarf, it’s a python.”

THUNK! Aaaaaaaaaaand she’s gone.

“That. Is. Awesome!” said Rainbow squishing her cheeks with her hooves making fish lips. Fluttershy shot out from behind dash and examined the snake with an expert eye.

“It’s a Corallus caninus!” said Fluttershy excitedly. Wow she really does get worked up about animals. Thought Dusk.

“Hey where getting together to hang out and let our pets play tomorrow, do you want to come?” asked Twilight

“Sure!” she said smiling, but this time it was for real. She was in. Her plan was working perfectly.
