Out on the snows of the Crystal Empire, a form stalked across its white surface, his black armor barely making a sound as he moved upon all forms like an ape.

His name was Dage the Evil, and he was currently trying to get out of the storm he was currently in, while pondering on where exactly he was. The last thing he could remember, he had been leading his legion of undead alongside Gravelyn and her forces, trying to keep the queen of monsters and her hoards from overwhelming Lore’s protectors so that they could banish her and her creatures from the world, if only so that he could go back to the good old days of tormenting them himself with his fun little raids every Friday the 13th.

Now however, he was new land, and land not his own, and in a body not his own, which was causing him a bit of discomfort, though of all the things to be changed into, a lizard man was definitely an upgrade, if his guess about his anatomy was correct.

However, when he placed one of his hands on the ground to keep moving, he felt the presence of a soul trapped upon the plane underneath him, and moved the snow aside to find a red horn lying in the snow, picking it up and feeling the thrum of a living soul as it touched the palm of his hand.

Dage smiled behind his helmet at that, placing the horn back upon the ground and then beginning to work his magic, calling upon his powers as a necromancer to bring forth a new body for the soul to occupy.

First to form was the skull, which attached itself to the horn, then came the neck, then the spine, and many other bones. Soon, a pony skeleton was fully formed in front of him, the bones taking on the metallic black sheen which was customary of his legion of old.

He flicked his wrist then, causing muscles and other organs to begin to form around the bones, as well as flesh to cover it. Finally, dark gray fur sprang from its body, as well as a smoky black mane and tail, and then the body collapsed upon the ground, lying prone as if waiting for something.

Dage lifted a hand to his helmet, the helmets mouth opening up a crack and blue flames leaking out, flames which he then placed into the body of the pony, who’s eyes shot open and glowed bright blue as he coughed and coked on the air around him.

“Hello my little pony,” said Dage with a smirk, “tell me, who are you?”

The pony coughed, then spoke up when his throat was cleared. “My name is Sombra, former king of the Crystal Empire…who are you.”

“Dage the Evil,” said Dage, “your savior, and new master.”

Sombra scoffed at that, “I don’t know who you think I am, but I am no one’s pawn, now if you will excuse me, I have an empire to take back.”

He got up to leave, but just as he took is first step, Dage lifted his hand up, a ring of blue flame forming around Sombra's neck and causing him to choke.

“Sorry Sombra,” said Dage with another smirk, “but you are not going anywhere without my permission, especially to that place, for I can feel its magic from here, and you would simply cease to be.”

Sombra growled, but surrendered, deciding it would be best to bide his time a while. “Very well, then what is it you wish of me?”

Dage got into a comfortable sitting position, and then gestured to the pony. “I wish for you to tell me about this world, every detail. I want to know about its magic, who the dominate race is, when I have all that, I want you to take me to your gods.”

Once again, Sombra scoffed. “Gods, we have no gods, at least not any we can conceive of.”

“You really think so?” said Dage with a curious glance.

“I know so,” said Sombra, “we have no gods, no matter the claims that they do exist.”

Dage grinned at that, then bowed his head, “Very well, but on everything else, I still wish to know, then we shall leave this place.”

Sombra nodded at that, and then started speaking, and as he did, Dage began collecting himself for the journey ahead. For, despite what this little pony said, he knew he had sensed gods on this world, and once he had all the information he needed, he would set off to meet them.

After all, one could never have too many gods on one’s side.

Author's Note

Dage the Evil has entered the playing field folks, and more characters to come. With that said, let me explain how things are going to be going in regards to chapters.

Main Chapters are going to be focusing on whats happening between the charactes already in the Canterlolt-Ponyville Region and their dealings with the Mane Six and the Princesses. Interlude Chapters are going to focus on either the villains, the titans and how they are fitting in, The Queen of Monsters herself, or the the Anti-Hero characters like Dage the Evil (Trust me he is an Anti-Hero) and others.

Next chapter is going to be a Main Chapter, but fallowing that is going to be another Interlude, which will be introducing a character which...well lets just say his laughter makes heads roll. Till then, if you guys have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them on buy, I love hearing from you guys.
