Four thousand years before the founding of Equestria, an ancient king ruled over his empire with a loving but strict reign. Loving his citizens but shunning all outsiders, the people of his great empire began to lose trust in their once great ruler. Wanting to restore his relationship with his people, the king seeks an adviser to help him mend the bonds. He found his adviser, and soon all was well within his kingdom by the time of his death, and he could rest in peace. Until now.
