This is a Character Prequel to my main story, Catalyst.
This is a short one shot detailing the events leading up to Tirek's attack on Canterlot Castle as seen in the season finale from the eyes of the OC, Akadios who was introduced in Chapter 6 of Catalyst. You don't need to read Catalyst to get this story, but the details given in here shed better light on Akadios with it as a reference.
