It started deep in the Demon world one night. It's leader a demon pony known as Firewing walked through the fiery caves. Her dark red and yellow mane and tail flowing as the volcanic like heat blew it past her orange and red skin, her orange eyes scanning the surrounding area.
She stopped by a drop and jumped off, her red wings safely guiding her to the bottom, her orange horns scrapping the cave roof.
She walked until she reached a small alcove where a newborn demon pony was sleeping.
Firewing snorted and picked up the newborn.
"What's its name?" she demanded. Her voice dark and evil
"Her name is Midnight Sunset." a dark purple demon pony with darker purple mane, tail, eyes, horns, wings, and white hooves replied. Her voice wary of the way Firewing spoke.
Firewing nodded.
"I see."
The newborn was a navy colour with a short brown mane, long brown tail, white hooves, navy wings and dark purple horn stubs.
Firewing snorted once more.
"This may be my sister, but I don’t want her interfering with my leadership.” she thought.
“She is but a half demon, she has no place here.”
“But Firewing.” the purple pony began.
“Are you questioning my leadership mother? You know as well as father and I the punishment for going against your leader.” Firewing hissed darkly.
“No Firewing.” the purple pony whispered and let Firewing take the child away.
“Now what to do with you” Firewing muttered while carrying Midnight on her back. She knew she couldn’t murder the child, Firewing may be the demons leader but she had standards.
However upon looking into a pool of water she found the perfect place to abandon the child.
She smirked darkly looking at the sleeping baby.
“Farewell Midnight Sunset, this day will be your last.” she whispered before the pool started glowing blue.
Firewing threw Midnight through the pool and she was taken far from the volcanic world that would have been her home and landed in a thick snowy forest.
Firewing nodded and closed the gate, there was no way the newborn would survive in the deserted Everfree Forest.
Midnight woke with a fright as she fell into the snow.
She sat up and looked around scared. Her greenish blue eyes darting around trying to find out where she was. Where was she? Where did the heat go? Where was her mother?
She sat shivering and crying for hours before realizing nopony was coming for her, nopony could hear her cries.
She looked around as the snow started falling and found a hollowed out tree trunk, before slowly crawling inside. Still shaking and crying.
As the night closed in Midnight Sunset slowly fell asleep, the shadows of her past echoing in her dreams.
