Prolude: The verge of the past.
Load Full StoryNext ChapterWhat once was a beautiful, calm night in the Everfree forest had turned into a storm that cast a pitch black look to the forest, making the trees look like monsters in the eyes of a lone stallion. The stallion remained still as the steady rain fell all around him, drentching him in water as the pouring skys cracked with lightning. The stallion looked up and smiled at the sight of the lightning bolt that pierced the night sky. After a while, the stallion let out a long sigh as he started into his cabin to light a candle, revealing his cabin in a orange light, though the light was seen from the inside only. "It's time to look for that spell again." The stallion mutters to himself as he uses his magic to pull out a scroll from the shelfs. The stallion settles on his couch and starts reading it.
As the sunlight of the late afternoon pierces through the window into his just flickering eyes, he shields them and stands up. He leaves his cabin and goes for a walk into Ponyville, where the town seems to be in a panic. "What's going on here!!" He yells out as a mare with bright blue eyes skids to a stop in front of him.
"Oh thank Celestia your here Grayhoof! It's awful! The town is in ruins from the storm and the elements of harmony are gone!" The mare explained fastly as she looks in a panic.
"Calm down Skypaw." I say to her in a calm tone, "I'll find the elements of harmony and cast down on the ones who stole them." I say to her as I rub her head.
"Wait.. Whats with your eyes Grayhoof? They look like..." Her voice trails off as she looks into my turquoise eyes that were once a mahogany color.
"Nothing is." I say hastily as I break into a gallop towards the train station.
How long have I been running? I can no longer remember as I finally reach Canterlot. But i'm shocked as I see the capital of Equestria coverd in a deathly green shield. "Chrysalis.... Of course." I mutter to myself as I make towards the everfree. "I can't get in but if I make myself an alicorn I can." I say as I make haste towards my cabin.
"Though the nights last long and the time draws nigh... Grant me thy blessing to allow me to shield Equestria and save it once again." I say in a preaching like voice as a black mist covers me, Turning me into Nocturne Eclipse, Though others would think me evil my mind remains the same as I fly towards Canterlot to save the ponies of Equestria, But little did I know it would be my last time doing so... As this is only the beginning of Nocturne Eclipse.
