DarkSoulPony

His history begins with little Screwballs desire for a brother....

Once upon a dark night Screwball was wishing for family, for her poor father Discord was

locked in stone. She felt so utterly useless to her father and utterly alone in causing chaos.

Walking upon the paths that normal ponies dare not walk she came upon a graveyard...or perhaps

better described as a mass grave.....the place where the rainbow factory discarded it's many victims.

"oooohhh you poor ponies" she moaned.

"Discarded like me and my father".

Her rage at finding them grew, for how can they justify using and discarding the ones they called

useless or harmful, and being so pretentious as to hide their sins.

"your like me aren't you?" she whispered to the unhearing corpses surrounding her.

"Hated and thrown away just because your different or don't suit their preference"

"they need to feel our pain...." she hissed in anger.

A sole tear fell down her cheek, she had never felt pity for others before.

"Daddy, must it be this way?" she cried....

Unto which She heard a low faraway voice, as if it were simply in her mind.

or the wind.

"No my dear child" Discord replied from his cold stone coffin.

"I may sow chaos, but chaos requires life. "I do not seek to see you so alone in your grief"

"Chaos grants life and gives opportunities too you'll see"

"So pick one corpse and bring it unto me".... upon this the winds became still and the voice died out.

Little Screwball began the huge task of sorting the rotted corpses, looking for one not to far decayed,

But not one that looked TOO fresh, or TOO friendly. She knew instinctively what she sought.

One that was malformed and twisted, one of no use to "normal" pony kind.

It took her weeks to find it, even as the bodies fell from the factory in a regular rhythm upon

her.

Finally one day, a few weeks later, nearly half into the putrid field of decay she found him....

A unicorn, grey/black from the life draining power of the factory, horn broken in half....

With one half developed skeletal wing, no sign of the other on his body, for it had never grown right.

"Daddy I feel his presence!" she exclaimed with glee.....But no answer came....

His body had survived fairly well in the pile and the maggots had not claimed it yet.

But it was heavy for such a small pony to carry.... Still she would not give up, Daddy Discord had told her

that if she wished a brother, then he must  be brought unto him, and she would obey.

It was worth it after all, a brother who would be so strong! Who could protect her and bring chaos

unto Equestria with her and daddy discord.....what a dream....

and so she spent the nights of the following week dragging the corps to her daddy's statue.

Hiding in the day. After all if any pony saw her they would most likely report it to Celesta or at

least Twilight Sparkle. Finally she made it to the equestrian garden....to her daddy discord....she hid many times from the

royal guard, it was such a large corpse that she had many frights, but those foolish foals never saw

the rustling of bushes, or the body behind the trees. At last upon midnight, when Luna Held the moon

at it's highest she reached the statue of Discord.

"Daddy" she whispered, "I am here"..... but to no answer....

"Daddy" she quietly wept..... "I have done as you asked..." still the winds and her mind were

silent...

Little Screwball wept in despair.....maybe....MAYBE... the other ponies were right....

Maybe she really never did hear her daddy....MAYBE it WAS all in her head....

Then and only then in Equestria did the sky truly darken....no light of moon...not even a star

twinkled in the sky...

LAUGHTER.....not in her head but OUT LOUD could be heard far and wide..... even Celesta resting her

weary head trembled at the power drawing out of the chaotic pitch black night, but not stirring from

her rest.  Maybe.....MAYBE princess Luna had a glimpse of the magic that was at hand... and if so...maybe

even she felt for poor little Screwball as to not intervene.... no pony knows....

"My little abomination.....how I love you" a distorted violent breeze howled.... "You would

defy the laws of nature as one born of chaos should" it cackled.... as the first ever Eclipse

of both moon and stars reached it's zenith, the large unicorn Colt's body began to quake and quiver....

blood seeped out in a lake of blackish red ichor, even Little Screwball squealed as her hooves

became drenched in the pool.

Cruel laughter range out in delight, "My little abomination are you scared of what you have done?"

the wind whispered as it wrapped her in a cold chill. The blood coursed towards the statue and began

pooling upwards as it it were raining upwards against gravity. "Daddy?" screwballs voice quivered in terror at the

sight as the blood became one with her fathers statue.

"Come now, you know I love you beyond all else, you are my daughter" the wind whispered, caressing her

with a cold chill and drops of coagulated black blood.

"Look, look unto your newly reborn brother...." the wind shrieked as a lance of pure black blood struck

the still quaking body burrowing into it's every orifice and wound.... then the light of the stars came back though the

moon was still black. In the dimmest of light Screwball saw the foal begin to breath.

though it's breath was labored and the blood all swept upon it almost drowning it's lungs,

it....HE....gurgled a coughed...a red glow emanating first from it's broken horn,

he laboriously stood up and the glow spread across his flanks. Where there was no cutie mark an ember red flash

appeared and blazed upon him a dark brown scroll with a black feather quill, a single darkend blood red drop upon it's tip.

"Sisss...*chough*... ter?" he rasped and coughed, looking at Screwball a little confused.

"Brother?" Screwball replied in crouched fearful questioning.

Slowly he approached, taking her quivering scared little body into his fore hooves in a tender embrace, replying "Yesss sister, It is I,

DarkSoulPony!"

The wind had settled into a warm comforting breeze.

Little Screwball relieved, wept in joy, and only Darksoulpony heard the whisper....

"Protect her or else......."
