Before reality even existed there were 4 lords of devastation. Lord Khaos the dark, Lord Decicon the Destroyer, End the Lord of Fate, and Manati the King of the Primal Darkness and leader of all four lords. Their rule and power were unchallenged any being that had common sense would not dare provoke their ire. But out of the dark two mortal beings came. They were both brothers and, sought to end the 4 lords reign of terror and create reality. The two brothers challenged their power and, a war broke out...

The eldest brother Oblivion created a army of unbreakable Immortal knights. the youngest brother known as God Forged divine weapons that would be able to kill the four lords. The two sides clashed as the eldest brother used his dark power to fight fire with fire against the four lords learning their ways. The youngest brother used his divine power to banish the dark and smash the four lord's kingdom of darkness...

After breaking through the four lords of devastation's army and knights the two brothers challenged and, fought against the four lords. The fight was long and brutal as it seemed like it would never end. The youngest brother was then overwhelmed by the four lords and crushed. Oblivion thought he had lost his only friend and family. Oblivion snapped, he lashed out against the four lords making them regret ever existing. His rage made his power trillions of times stronger as he overwhelmed the four lords quickly. In a matter of minutes Oblivion brutally mutilated all of them and use the forbidden method of soul torture on them. The four lords cried in agony as Oblivion tore them from existence. After such events Oblivion absorbed their souls and power...

Reality was created as God and Oblivion created the race of ponies and created 2 alicorns. They four mighty beings built up a kingdom in the heavens that was thought to never fall. But soon that prediction was shattered as the eldest brother was corrupted and became a monster that could not be described in words. The youngest brother felt the power of the 4 lords present within his own brother. Not only have the four lords of devastation returned but his own brother fell victim to their darkness...

1 month before Oblivion goes bat shit crazy and becomes corrupted

Princess Celestia sat next to her father Oblivion and her little sister Princess Luna. Celestia was currently in a game of chess with her father. As she carefully thought out each move to make her father found out a way to black her every time. Celestia was eventually caught in a check mate position.

"Checkmate Tia." Oblivion said as he smiled.

"Dad how do you keep doing that?" Celestia asked with a slightly irritated tone.

Oblivion Chuckled as he sighed then ruffled Celestia's mane, "I'll tell ya later Tia. I'm gonna go see what your uncle is up to." Oblivion said as he brushed his black hair from his eyes and walked out of the room after ruffling his black angelic wings. Celestia Sighed as she rubbed her temples.

Princess Celestia was 30 years old at this time while Princess Luna was 27. He father was lord knows how many years older then her and probably had a IQ of infinity. She turned to see Luna chuckling at her.

"Whats so funny Luna?!" Princess Celestia demanded in a irritated tone.

"You are just so frustrated when you lose it is hilarious!" Princess Luna said as she giggled. As she walked over to her sister and draped her hoof over Celestia's back.

"Do not worry sister you will beat father sometime. Maybe a million years from now but eventually." Luna teased as Celestia grew more irritated.

Celestia sighed then chuckled, "You know you are right Luna I shouldn't be so angry about losing to dad. He is older and more experienced." Princess Celestia said as she smiled. "Come Luna lets get something to eat." Princess Celestia encouraged as she and, Princess Luna walked towards the kitchen.

"What do you mean you are still worried brother the four lords of devastation are gone. I killed them with my bare hands." Oblivion said as he sat at a table with his brother God.

"Look brother I do not think they are gone entirely. I'm still catching traces of their dark presence but for some reason I can't track it. Our goal is to get rid of their influence and very being." God said as she narrowed his eyes at Oblivion.

"Look brother I think it is nothing to worry about. They are deader then dead, I made sure of that." Oblivion said as he chuckled. Then took a sip of tea from his cup in front of him.

"Look that dark power is lingering somewhere we can see." God said as he looked Oblivion in the eye, "Brother I need you to find where their presence is lingering and exterminate it at all costs." God said as his tone got more serious.

"Okay okay don't get your panties in a freaking knot dude." Oblivion said as he stretchered and stood up and stretched.

"Good I've been sensing their power in the mountains to the east of here where we fought them. I need you to find what ever the hell is there and destroy it." God said glaring at Oblivion.

"Got it brother I will be back by nightfall." Oblivion said as he snapped his fingers and teleported away.

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna sat at a large rectangular table in the dining room eating their lunch they made for themselves. As they ate Oblivion walked through the doors to the dining room.

"Oh hello father would you like to come sit with us?" Princess Luna asked cheerfully.

"Sure for a little bit but I have to go on a hunt in a bit." Oblivion responded.

"Oh what are you hunting?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Apparently your uncle thinks that the four lords are still living. I called bull shit on this but he seemed pretty damn serious." Oblivion said as sat on his dining chair next from his two daughters.

"How? You killed them with your bare hands remember? You even tore their souls to shreds." Princess Luna added as she had a confused look plastered on her face.

"I don't know but your uncle was really serious about it. So I should take this seriously Lulu." Oblivion said as he used Princess Luna's nickname making her blush.

"Well dad you better be careful if the four lords really are still alive somehow you should take this mission with caution." Princess Celestia warned as she finished her sandwich.

"I know Tia trust me if anything I'll be the most careful person ever around those hell spawns." Oblivion responded as he scowled but then smiled at his two daughters, "Well you two Ive gotta get going. I need you guys to help your uncle with the kingdom and try to ease his burden while I'm gone okay?" Oblivion said as Celestia and Luna both nodded.

"Well I'll see you two later." Oblivion said as he kissed them both and walked out the dining room.

Celestia sighed as she said, "Father please be careful..."

End of chapter 1

Chapter I Trek to the eastern mountains

As Oblivion walked endlessly to the eastern mountains he became board. he had already walked about 30 miles yesterday and about 15 today. The mountain were still about 70 miles away.  Oblivion grumbled to himself about how his feet were sore how tiring this trip was and how he is going to have to search for the remnants of the four lords of devastation in the eastern mountains. Then continued saying how it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Oblivion eventually came across the town of Lenicard. Lenicard was a medium sized town that had farmers, merchants, and other things.

As Oblivion walked into the town ponies immediately started bowing as he passed by paying no attention to them. Oblivion walked slowly through the marketplace and observed if any of the ponies sold anything that would prove useful to him. Oblivion eventually found a blacksmith shop, he then entered it and walked up to the blacksmith. The blacksmith was a bulky and, strong looking gray earth pony with a smokey black mane. He also had a cutie mark with a hammer hitting a sword on a anvil.

The blacksmith looked up at Oblivion as his eyes widened, "Y-your majesty what are you doing in a place like this? Oh dear lord where are my manners? My name is Iron great hammer." The earth pony said then bowed as Oblivion looked at him, "Is there anything I can do for you your majesty?" The gray earth pony asked.

"Well I need you to craft me a great bow Iron great hammer." Oblivion said as he placed a bag of golden coins on the counter in front of Iron great hammer.

"Um very well your majesty I shall do my best be back here in about 2 to 3 hours and I shall have your bow finished along with 50 steel great arrows." Iron great hammer said as he took the bag of golden coins and, walked into the other room. Oblivion turned around and walked out of the shop.

Oblivion looked around at the other shops, nothing really caught his eye for a while until he saw a shop with magical casting items. Oblivion walked into the shop and started to look around. He examined staffs, wands, chimes, amulets and other stuff. Oblivion found nothing to his interests until he looked at the main display case. Oblivion stared at the amulet inside the case. The amulet's chain was made of Obsidian and its center piece was a fiery dragon eye. Oblivion wanted this it looked so possessive and demented. It was perfect for his dark personality and, quite personally he thought it would make him pretty damn sexy.

Oblivion rung the bell at the counter and waited for the pony who runned the place to show up. A mare then came out from behind a curtain. She had crimson red eyes, her coat was a dark purple and she was a unicorn. Her cloak covered her cutie mark but Oblivion cared not. As she came out she almost fell straight onto her ass when she saw him.

"Oh my! Your majesty! My name is Madam Zelrien What do you request my lord?" The mare said as she regained her composure.

"It seems that a certain amulet of yours has caught my eye." Oblivion said as he pointed at the amulet in the main display case.

"Ah yes that is a very powerful magic tool. It is meant to seal exactly 21 godly beings in it. This amulet was crafted a few years back in the capital city of Elysium." Madam Zelrien said as she looked at the amulet.

"So Madam Zelrien how much will that amulet cost?" Oblivion asked with his eyebrow raised.

"Hmmm... A powerful magic tool like this would cost a fortune so I would say about ten thousand golden coins." Madam Zelrien said as she looked back at Oblivion. Oblivion had 5000 golden coins on him it was half of what he needed to buy the amulet. Oblivion thought on what he could exchange in return for the amulet. Then he remembered he had something of equal value.

"Well Madam Zelrein I don't have that much money but I do have something of equal value." Oblivion said as he snapped his fingers and a magic tome fell into his hands, "This Madam Zelrein is my own tome of spells created by myself. It holds magic that only a very powerful magic user could cast and I think this would be an equal trade for the amulet." Oblivion said as Madam Zelrein's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Yes I believe that is a fair trade your majesty." Madam Zelrein said as she unlocked the display case and took the amulet out. She then handed or should I say hoofed over it to Oblivion. Oblivion took the amulet and, put it around his neck.

"Madam Zelrein I bid you farewell may we meet again soon." Oblivion said as he exited the shop then looked at the sun. He still had 1 hour to burn until he could go retrieve his new bow. Oblivion sighed as his stomach rumbled. Oblivion chuckled as he set out to find a restaurant. Oblivion walked down the streets as he heard a feminine voice scream for help. Oblivion quickly bolted in the direction of the scream unsheathing his katana. He took a few sharp turns then came to an ally way where 3 stallions were closing in on a middle aged mare.

"Hey you the dick munches over here!" Oblivion shouted as he put both hands on the handle of the katana. The stallions turned around and scoffed.

"Oh look what we have here! His majesty has come to save his waifu!" The stallion to the left of the leader taunted as he laughed.

"What are you gonna do without your guards lecture us? Or god forbid you hit us you would hit like a mare!" The leader said snickering.

"Oh man he is gonna hit us with a sword that he can't even use correctly!" The last one said as they all bursted out into laughter.

"Yeah you laugh it up dick wads I think you want daddy's belt!" Oblivion said with a dark tone with malice and, venom practically dripping from his voice. The three stallions approached Oblivion drawing their swords. The one on the left rushed first, Oblivion side stepped and, kicked him in the balls. After that the stallion fell and Oblivion hit his head with the butt of his katana and knocked him out cold. The second one tried to sneak up on Oblivion it worked but as soon as he was a few feet away his hoof snapped a twig on the ground. Before he could blink Oblivion whipped around and roundhouse kicked him in the side of the face sending his head through a brick wall. The leader was left standing and had practically pissed himself.

"So what did you say about me not being able to fight, or having no skill with a sword and, more importantly said I hit like a mare?" Oblivion asked as he towered above the gang leader.

"Y-y-your majesty this was all just a prank. There is no need to be violent Hahaha..." The gang leader said as he was trembling in fear.

"You know what would make you feel better you schmuck?" Oblivion asked as the gang leader looked up at him.

"W-what?" The stallion asked fearfully.

"Checking yo privilege!" Oblivion said as he drew back his fist and punched the stallion in the face. Oblivion hit the stallion so hard that he flew through the wall at the dead end of the alleyway. Oblivion then calmed down and walked over to the mare who was covering her eyes and shivering.

"Miss you are safe now" Oblivion ssaid as he put his hand on her shoulder gently. The mare looked up her eyes red and puffy from crying and saw Oblivion. She gasped then immediately tried to bow but Oblivion stopped her.

"Please no formalities madam. What is your name?" Oblivion asked as he looked her in the eyes.

"M-my name is Sunlight crystal..." Sunlight crystal said as Oblivion offered her his hand to help her up. Sunlight crystal took his hand and was lifted up and put on her feet again by Oblivion.

"Well miss Sunlight crystal I think I will take you to lunch." Oblivion said as Sunlight's eyes widened and nodded. Oblivion and, Sunlight crystal walked out of the alleyway and into the town...
