In a time long since past, in a world far away, a tragedy strikes that will echo through a world for eons.

A memory like a far off dream that began long ago, in the night a terrible storm raged with such force that even a goddess marveled at it and the day the heavens got a master.

"Dammit, you didn't have to break his nose," my sister said in anger.

"He was sleazeball and an idiot, he was going to hurt you Sara," the elder sibling responded.

"I can take care of myself I could have dealt with him,"

"How would you have? He was built like a truck. Huh? Answer me how?" I returned.

"I would have, I don't know done. Something," she replied.

"Exactly, you don't know. That’s why I did it. Unlike you, I have learned to judge easily," I replied defensively.

"That's it! I have had enough of this. I’m leaving," she said storming out of the kitchen.

"Wait, the storm out there is really bad," I tried to stop her, but she was already out the door.

"Damn it," I said throwing on my coat heading out the door to look for my sister, but little did I know that this night would change me forever.

3 hours later

"Damn, where is she?,” I said, muttering silent curse to myself as I looked for my sister, knowing that the storm was getting worse by the minute. I stopped when I heard a faint crying noise off in the distance, but the was storm making it hard to discern where it was coming from.

So I did the only thing he could think of, I started calling her name.

"Sara," no answer.

"Sara".

"Over here".

I could barely tell what direction it was coming from. I began sprinting through the forest to where my sister is I just bare-

KKKKKKRRRRRRAAAAACCCKKKK-BBBBBBBOOOOOOOMMMM

Time seemed to slow as I heard the thunder, only turning to see the tree the lightning struck fall towards me, pinning me to the ground causing me to let out an inhuman roar.

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH

Reeling from the pain I didn't notice my sister standing about twenty feet away.

"Oh god," my sister said in shock quickly moving over to her injured brother.

"Please be okay," the trembling in her voice evident quickly noticing that I was breathing.

"Sara are you ok?" I asked wheezing.

"Yes. Yes. But are you?" she asked worriedly.

"Well I'm certainly not my best, but I’ll survive," I lied knowing I was going die that day. I couldn't move my legs, and I could feel the bone protruding from my right arm and the blood slowly pooling under me.

"Now go back to the house and call the emergency number on the fridge." I said, feeling the life beginning to fade from me.

"Yes, just don't die on my. Okay?" she said getting up.

I gave a weak thumbs up as she began to head back

It felt like hours but was only minutes. I felt the cold begin to crawl over my body and the darkness creep up my vision, my final words being.

"If there's a god I'm gonna sock him for making her cry," as I finally let the life seep out of me.

The first thing I noticed was that I was on some kind of small chunk of land, floating in a white void. In the center of the island was a table with two chairs. One chair was being filled with what I could tell was a horse. I began to make my way over.

"Hello," the horse said as I approached.

"Hi," I responded reluctantly.

"I suppose you are wondering where you are and who I am?" the creature said with a very calm voice.

"I guess," I said.

"As to where you are, this is a kind of mental place created in the void between worlds, as for me, I am Faust some like to call me maker or even God," Faust said with a air reality.

At the mention of the G word i began to tighten the my muscles but before I can act, she spoke.

"That is not a wise idea, " she said as her horn began to glow and the image of a couple hundred ways she could deal with me flashed across my mind.

"And those are very good reason not," I said losing my fist, shock and a little fear evident in my voice.

"Because you don't want to truly harm me you are just worried about your sister," she said, gesturing for me to sit.

"I suppose I guess there's a reason you brought me here. What is it?" I said taking the seat, anger still evident on my face but fading.

"Down to business I guess," she said, the table in front of us shifted and changed to reveal a map of a world I don't recognize.

"This place is my home, my true home, I placed many, what to call them? Spirit's or even wardens on this world to govern and control different properties like fire, ice and forest, but in my foolishness, I thought they would all get along and now they are in the midst of a war so I would like to you not only try and stop this war but also govern a property long since empty," she explained to me.

"Now I understand if you wanna think this over-”

"I’ll do it " I said without hesitation.

"...what?" she said obviously not expecting an answer so fast.

"I said I’ll do it," I said with a calmness.

"Well I just thought you would take longer is all," she said as she regained her composure.

"The way I see it is I owe you for not letting my soul simply vanish or be reborn or whatever. You chose to give me a second chance at life and I’m going to try and do something important with it. So in a sense I owe you for that and I love my sister, but I know I can't be there to protect her forever. So she needs to grow and learn as I person, and she can't do that with me hovering over her shoulder telling her which choice is right or wrong. And while my dad may not be the most responsible or mature or even hygienic person. In no way is he bad. He is reliable, most of the time," I said with more calmness than I should have.

"Well okay then all that's left is for you to choose a new name and a form to represent your new ward," she said standing up and with a glow of her horn a portal appeared.

"What is my ward as you call it so I can choose my form accordingly," I said getting up and standing next to her.

"Storms," she said trying to keep a straight face.

"...wonderful," I said pinching the bridge of my nose.

"Okay as my form I choose to be a kirin. If you can see in to my head you know what I mean," I said feeling my body get warmer and brighter.

"Good luck, I will check in on you from time to time" she said waving.

"Yeah yeah," I mumbled.

The first thing I noticed as I woke from my slumber was the pure unadulterated cold in my place of rest. I slowly opened my eyes as to not blind myself with the light and almost immediately noticed the darkness all around save for the brazier behind me.

Getting up from the altar where I had slept for some time. Looking around at the darkness I got the feeling that something very bad had happened to the world I call home. Using a base illumination spell a placed it at the top of the room and what I saw shocked me. All around me were the crystal skeletons of crystal ponies bowing to the pedestal that I rested on.

Some of them had black crystals growing from their bones. After steeling myself I began to walk towards the entrance. It didn't take long to arrive, only to find it is frozen over with ice. Walking up to it, I tapped it with my claw/hoof combination in an attempt to gauge the thickness of ice. Taking a guess I would say a foot at least taking a couple steps back. I steady myself and fire a low power bolt of lighting from my horn making short work of the ice causing it to explode into thousand tiny shards, that for a brief moment, the light made by the bolt made all the shards shimmer like stars.

Then I began walking through the hole I had created to find a blizzard was raging outside. Now for most beings they would have simply waited inside until the arctic flurry was over. However I am not most beings. I simply strode outside, unaffected by the blizzard. I could see perfectly fine, spotting a ridge off in the distance and began making my way over to to get a better vantage point. It wasn't long before I reached my destination, getting a good vantage point and off in the distance I could see the crystal empire. While looking in it's direction I got a slight pulling sensation using my dragonic vision I got a closer look at the city and I could barely see what was giving the pulling sensation. Right in the middle of a plaza was my sword still lodged in the now long dead heart of Valorous the Ice Colossus.

Deciding it was high time that it came back into my possession, and thus I took to the skies. Unlike most creatures that walk the the face of equus I don't use wings to fly, but instead use a form of minor gravity control. It took me only ten minutes or so to arrive. The citizens inside the barrier didn't notice because of the blizzard. Realizing that I probably couldn't go in without causing a panic, I flew to a less populated side of the barrier, and making sure that I was not seen, changed into my unicorn form to better blend in and started off towards my sword.

As I make my way through the city, I note all the advances and changes that pony society had made throughout the city. I stop in front of a building to look at the wares in the window which were various pastries. I take a second to look myself over in the windows. My piercing silver eyes stare back at me from the reflection. My mane is grayish blue with white zig-zagging streaks my coat was a storm grey, my cutie mark is a black storm cloud with two yellow sword shaped lighting bolts crossed. My horn is a bit more pointed then a normal unicorn’s.

I still need to know if the name had changed or not returning to my destination after giving myself another once over in the window after about fifteen minutes (would have been sooner but I got distracted) I arrive at my destination to find a mare in front of the sword surrounded by guards as I began to approach I could hear their conversation.

"Ma'am, you are hereby placed under arrest," the guard I assume was the captain based upon his armor being made of a different material.

"For what?" the mare snap back.

"That is none of your concern. Just come with us," one of the lower ranking guards barks.

It was at this point I decide to butt in and help.

"Pardon me my good sir, I may not know the law that well, but I know enough to realize your breaking it," I say as I position myself between her and the guards.

"Step aside this is none of your concern sir," the captain ordered.

"It is when you accuse someone of breaking the law without even telling them which one they’re breaking," I say as I assess the guards.

"Sir you have until the count of three to move or we will use force," he warns.

"One."

I stand firm. They have three earth ponies.

"Two."

And two pegasi

"Three."

The captain was the only unicorn.

"Attack!" he yells.

The guards launch themselves at me. The earth ponies charge and the pegasi take to the sky while the captain hangs to the back. The first earth pony comes close and attempts to tackle me, only for me to dodge to the side and kick him in the ribs hard enough to leave a dent in his armor, effectively winding him.

One of the pegasi and an earth pony guards decide to attack at the same time I counter this with lighting spell with enough juice to lock up their muscles. After seeing how I dispatched their allies the last two decide it would be best to run.

"Get back here you cowards!" the screaming pony shouts at his fleeing comrades.

"If you had half a brain you would join them," I say in a flat tone.

This clearly gets a rise out of the guard, as he shoots a blast at me. And me feeling like showing off some more for the pretty mare behind me, jump back and do a flip that would have been almost impossible for a normal pony and only the mare seems to notice this because as I land the guard begins charging up a more powerful spell. I release my current form as he fired, causing a burst of static around me grabbing the sword with my magic I proceed to swing and cut through both the cloud and the blast, as the cloud parted and the guard saw my true form and he faints from what I assume was shock. Looking to the mare.

"Are you ok miss....." I say trying to get her to tell me her name.

"uuuuuuuuuh...um......oh, my name its Wind Twister," she says beginning to get over her shock.

"That’s good but are you okay?" I say taking note that she is a Pegasus.

"I’m fine thank you mister," and she returns the question.

"You can call me Storm-Front and I’m sorry but I must be going now," noticing the small crowd gathering.

And with that I create a flurry of snow within the barrier and use it to take off to the area outside the barrier. I found a cloud and perch myself upon it, to try and think of what to do next. After a couple hours I came up with a few things the first of which is the easiest which is to check up on the weather around the world, then go retrieve my airship and finally go find someone or something that can fill me in one what happened while I was gone.

I enter a meditative state and close my eyes and feet which weather formations were around the world and to my shock find almost no storms and feet the twisted artificial clouds floating about. Once I found these I began searching for the source and find what I could best describe as a cloud factory that made me sick to my stomach and I cut the feed right there, waiting a few minutes for the queasiness to pass. I stood up on the cloud I was on and with a stern look on my face turn to the city just starting to calm down from my little show.

"What have you done to the world... no to nature itself?" I say, glaring at the ponies.
