Prologue

Once, in Canterlot, there was a nice family of ponies, and they were about to have a baby. They were in the hospital, and the mom was about to have an excitement attack! The dad was also pleased, as he always wanted to have a little filly to take care of and have fun with. When they got to the surgery room, the nice pony doctors were trying to calm the mom down so they can get the baby out. The sister, Nightmare Swirls was there too, and she put on an evil smile. When they finally got the filly out, they saw that there was something off about her. "What's with the eyes?" asked Nightmare Swirls as she took a crack at the pony. "And the wings and the tail. What's up with those?" "She's utterly perfect," the parents said as they hugged her. "We shall call her Darkshine." the parents said enthusiastically. "Awww... Why not 'Absolutely Stupideyes'? That would be a good name." Laughed Nightmare. "NIGHTMARE!" the parents yelled. "That's unkind!" Darkshine woke up, and looked up at her parents. You could tell that she was happy to be in the world. "Nightmare! Can you watch Darkshine? we need to run to the washroom!" called the parents. "OK!!!" Nightmare called back. Darkshine looked back up and noticed that her parents were not there and instead, her horrid sister. She started to cry, and Nightmare got upset. "Shut your lips!!" Nightmare yelled at her angrily, which only made her cry harder. When the parents came back, they found her crying and wondered what was going on and if she was ok. "She's fine. It's a baby thing." Nightmare told her parents, as she didn't want to tell them what she had said to her little sister. "Oh, alright." the parents responded. "We may be moving to another part of Canterlot, as this is too plain for our girl. She must learn the way of life as we did, at school near all the rich ponies and the castle!" The dad said proudly. "Ummm." the mom said. "This is gonna be great...." Nightmare said, and with that, Darkshine was welcomed to Equestria.

The Tragedy

A couple years later, in this new part of Canterlot, Darkshine had grown into a kind young filly who loved fun and flying. In her free time, she would fly around in the back with the supervision of her parents, while Nightmare would sit around doing magic spells, mostly to try to ruin Darkshine's life. One day, when Darkshine was out playing, she found a book that was full of techniques and activities to do while flying. She opened it, and it caught her in a cage and pulled her back home! "What? HUH?" Darkshine asked herself when she got back. And right at that moment, a shadow came up behind her.. It was Nightmare Swirls!!!! "What did YOU DO TO ME?!?!" Darkshine shouted, as rage followed her words. "I WAS OUT PLAYING!!!!!!!" "Chillax," Nightmare said as she lifted the door from the cage. "But I had a good reason for it.." "Yeah.. What?" Darkshine asked, upset. "Our parents died.." Nightmare told her. "WHAT?!?!?! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE SIS??????" Darkshine yelled. "I actually didn't wanna upset ya for once." Nightmare told her. "WELL YOU DID!!" Darkshine said. She started to run from her sister as fast as she possibly could, but Nightmare pulled her down and caged her up once again. "You're now my slave, sister." she said, with an evil tone dripping from her words. "I couldn't do it before, because our parents were around! Now that they're gone, Do what I want, or I'll cage you!!!" "O-OK...." Darkshine said through her tears. "This starts NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nightmare shouted evilly, while making herself a throne, crown, and even giving herself wings. Darkshine ran outside to the Everfree Forest, hoping that Nightmare would never find her there, but there were cages everywhere! She was caught, and taken back to where Nightmare was waiting for her to become her slave..
