The Elder Scrolls VI: Dawngaurd

"Welcome, all of you. I'm very honored at the fact that even all 3 princesses were eager to attend this reenactment! Today, I would like to tell you a tale, a tale that took place over thousands of years ago, even before the founding of Equestria and the rule of the princesses! Like Nightmare Moon, this pony was not very... fond of the sun. His desire was to end its "tyranny" forever. And trust me when I say this, he was not alone. Hundreds of others, pegasus, unicorn, and Earth ponies, were all part of this dastardly plan." The lights dim, and seconds later, a single spotlight shone over a single pony, a legendary alicorn to go into detail. This pony was pacing impatiently back and forth in what looked very much like a dungeon. His tone signaled that he was adressing a group of others, size unknown. After a couple seconds more of pacing, he took a stand in the center of the room. He silently and quickly took in a breath of air, and began to speak in a deep and mysterious tone that had almost the same effect on ponies as Fluttershy's stare. "But what is it you seek? Is it to become one of us? To make the darkness your own? Or, will you join them, The Dawnguard? They think they can stop us. But we will hunt them down, every last one of them... with thier heads on stakes. And we will find the long-lost sources of infinite knowledge, the Elder Scrolls, and use their power to end the tryanny of the sun." His voice echoed through the whole building. The other lights, one by one, lit up the entire stage, revealing what looked like an army. Each and every pony had a very simple design of black cloth, with a red, lightning-looking insignia on the chest. Except for the leader, Lord Nightfall. His design was very similar, simple, black cloth... except with a long, drooped cape attached to his shoulders. The same insignia was on the back of his cape, and he wore a crown, looking more like Twilight's Element of Harmony, except represented the night. A purple, moon-shaped amethyst was lodged in the center of the crown. It had an ominous glow to it. By now, the play had phased into an actual scene, much like the episode "Hearth's Warming Eve." "Are all of you up to the task? Will you back down from minor challenges, seperating us from our desire? Or will you power through, devote your own life to what is right in this world? Will you set this world straight!?" As Nightfall's last word bouced multiple times through everypony's ear, the rest of the ponies following his rule burst out into a cheer of approval, and the scene faded out, ominously.
