The Darksouls

Before anything there was the void. A place where there is no light, and no darkness. Only nightmares, and the constant feeling of being alone. When something would die, their soul would go to the void, and suffer until the end of time. Until one day, a group of pony-like beings appeared. They were called the Soul Reapers, and they created place for the dead to go and be at peace. It was called The Haven. To the Soul Reapers surprise, conflict began to arise in the Haven, and the Soul Reapers realized that there were some who just weren't good enough to be in the Haven. But they still felt that the Void was to brutal, even for the worse of souls.

  So then was the Crypt. A land like the Haven but with no law, no order. A wasteland left for the rats. And the one thing that's worst of all. The worst part about the Crypt is that if you die there. Your soul is left to rot in the void. Although, some of the Darksouls may prefer being lost in the void, then having to live under the order of, queen Proxy

  No one quite knows where the queens came from, or what happened to the Soul Reapers but just like they came they went in an instant. Leaving the Haven un-guarded. The walkers of the Crypt saw this, and decided that they wanted payback for them having to live in such a hell. They found a way to open a portal to the Haven and a war was started. It just goes to show that even in death, if you put two living beings a room there's going to be conflict one way or another.

   With the war between the two sides in full effect, it was only a matter of time before the two civilizations were destroyed, and the souls were to be thrown back to the void. But then came two mares. Both died at birth. One was born from a family that ruled over a good part of Equestria. Her family were part of a Unicorn tribe that tried to avoid conflict with the Pegusi, or earth ponies. Her name was Fallaway. The other was born from an evil, sadistic tribe of unicorns who raped, and killed just for the pleasure of doing it. Who thrived on blood lust, and the pure idea that others feared them....Her name...was Proxy..

  The two managed to stop the conflicts from both sides. Fallaway spoke to her kind in the haven and told them that conflict was going to solve nothing and only make things worse. But Proxy had a different reason. She told her kind that what they did was stupid charging in head first. She told them that the way to win a war is to sneak from behind, stab them in the back, and to destroy their hope. She saw great potential in the Walkers of the Crypt. So she stopped the war only to let her army grow stronger...She destroyed the portal linking the two worlds.

  The two mares became the queens of their worlds. Proxy now being in lead of the Crypt she knew the Darksouls. She knew how their kind was. They only knew death, destruction, and hate. Trusting them wasn't an option. So she took matters into her own hooves, and created a new breed of Darksoul. The Nobles.

   The first group of Nobles were made purely from magic, and led into battle by Proxy herself. But soon Proxy noticed a major flaw in her creation. They were in capable of leading themselves. She learned that if the spell was used on an existing Darksoul, it would turn them into a Noble. But they'd still be able to lead themselves. And with enough training, an army. Proxy sent her Nobles out to im-prison Darksouls, so they could be used as soldiers.

   Proxy then realized that if her army of Nobles grew big enough she could use them to in-slave the Darksouls to use as soldiers, against the Haven. It was an easier process then turning all of them into Nobles.

   The queen, was always fond of unicorns. She knew what power they could have, with enough training. But her kingdom was lacking in Unicorns. So she decided that it was time to change that. For 50 years she was working on something that not even her head Nobles knew about. The Plague.

   The plague nearly killed off the unicorn population, in only 3 weeks. Strangely enough, the plague only managed to kill unicorns. Any Earth Ponies, or Pegusi that died in that time span either died of natural causes, or murdered by the ones that were infected. You could tell an infected Unicorn, when you saw one. They bared a black X on their neck, and un-easy red eyes. They normally only lasted a week after being infected. Entire Unicorn tribes, would be wiped out in only a small amount of time. But it abruptly left as it came. Leaving millions dead and even more distraught.

    Nopony truly knows where the plague came from, or why it only killed unicorns. But I guess that's for the dead to know, and for us to find out.
