Once upon a time, in the Crystal Empire, there lived a small filly by the name of Toola-Roola. She lived with her father, Blank Canvas, and her mother, Solar Glow. Her life was a prosperous one. Until her 7th birthday party, when all changed...

Once upon a time, there lived a small Pegasus filly by the name of Toola-Roola. She lived with her mother, Sunrise Glow, and her father, Blank Canvas. She lived a prosperous life in the Crystal Empire. She was adored by the Mane Six for some reason. She even became friends with the Crystal Princess herself, Princess Cadence.
But everything changed when her 7th birthday came. Everything took a turn for the worst. Her villainous aunt, Lunar Eclipse, comes to visit the young filly.
. . .

Just so you know, I changed Toola-Roola's coat and mane colors so she is described way differently than her Generation 3 counterpart.

Cover Art coming soon!

Chapter One: The Unusual Filly

Ten years later, a filly, by the name of Toola-Roola, was born to Solar Glow, a crystal unicorn with a golden coat, a red to orange gradient mane, golden eyes, and a shining Sun for a cutie mark, and Blank Canvas, a normal gray Pegasus with wings with black tips, a black mane and moustache, green eyes, and a blank canvas on his flank (hence his name). This Pegasus filly had a snow white coat with black tipped wings ( like her father's), turquoise eyes, and a mane with a gradient of black to gray (not unlike her mother's) . She did not inherit her mother's horn or crystal coat, but she did inherit her love of magic. She could actually produce magic from her eyes, but everypony thought it looked creepy, and she didn't use it often (It was also very tiring).

She also inherited her father's love for the arts and his passion for creating art. She was an excellent painter for her age, and she won all sorts of art contests.
This family lived in the wealthier part of the Crystal Empire, near the Royal family's castle. Toola-Roola even got a chance to visit the castle, where she met Princess Cadence. The two later became good friends. They also found out their birthdays were the exact same day. Twilight Sparkle and her five friends also admired her for various reasons, but mostly because of her magical abilities. But Twilight had not seen such raw talent and power in such a tiny filly. In fact, even Solar Glow said she did not have as much power as her small daughter, and she wasn't even a unicorn.

One day, Toola-Roola was trotting around the Crystal Empire. She was looking for ponies to invite to her birthday party. She knew almost everyone, so she hard a long trip ahead of her. She was obviously going to invite Princess Cadence, Twilight, her friends, the other princesses, her friend Starsong. But she invited many others too. She knew it was going to be a great party.

But she didn't know it would be her last one for a long time...

Author's Note

I thought I would add one more G3 character in, so I chose Starsong. I will describe her in the next chapter.

Chapter Two: The Nightmare

The night before her birthday, Toola-Roola had a terrible dream...

Her dream began in the Crystal Empire. At least she thought it was the Crystal Empire, as the glorious crystal castle had been replaced with a tower of solid black stone. She heard a malicious laugh behind her, and she turned around and saw a black pony with a dark blue mane, and eyes the same color. But she was not a regular pony, or a crystal pony either. She had a horn like a changeling, wings of a bat, and her eyes like a cat's. Toola-Roola didn't know it, but she was staring at the face of her aunt, Lunar Eclipse.

Toola-Roola gasped and looked around her. She saw her comrades fighting what looked like clones of the evil mare, only smaller. She saw her parents fighting those terrible clones as well. But there was no hope for them, as they were completely surrounded. She heard a scream and Toola-Roola looked away, fighting back tears. She saw Princess Cadence running like mad towards her, scooping her up in her mouth, and running away from Lunar Eclipse and towards edge of the Crystal Empire.

"Go, Toola-Roola. Go far away and I will find you!" she gasped.

"Don't leave me! Please don't leave me alone!" Toola-Roola screamed.

But Cadence flew away, and towards Lunar Eclipse. The two mares fought with all their strength, until Lunar Eclipse struck Cadence in the heart. A terrible shriek was heard from the princess, and she sank to the ground.

Toola-Roola started to search for her, but she instead followed Cadence's words and flew as fast as she could, away from the destruction of the Empire. But she was was followed by Lunar Eclipse, who pounced on the little filly. She then opened up her mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and whispered,

"This isn't a dream, this is a vision, a premonition, that will occur on the 7th eve of your birth. Beware filly, I will get you..."

Chapter Four coming soon!

Introduction: A Battle Unlike Any Other

Ten years before Toola-Roola's birth, there was a battle. A battle unlike any other, and yet the same as a thousand years past. A battle between sisters, one good, one evil. A battle for power.

Solar Glow used her unusual unicorn powers to place her older sister, Lunar Eclipse, in an unrelenting golden magical bubble. Well, unrelenting to most ponies, that is. But Lunar Eclipse had the power of at least ten unicorns combined, so she broke through the bubble of magic with surprising ease.

"I told you, you cannot not stop me, even after years of magic school!" Lunar Eclipse cackled.

"Just wait, sister. You haven't seen anything yet." Her younger sister growled.

Lunar Eclipse used her powers to create the largest storm that Equestria had seen. Terrible rumbles of thunder and crackling lightning could be heard everywhere. She used the slightest amount of effort to create a lightning bolt to strike on her sister. When the lightning bolt struck her, Solar Glow thought she was a goner, but, all of a sudden, she shot up straight into the dark and cloudy sky. She used all her energy to remove the large storm from the sky. Lunar Eclipse remained unsurprised and trapped her sister in a magical bubble as well, though this one was a very dark blue. But, with more effort than her sister, she broke through the spell. This was when Lunar Eclipse started having second thoughts.

"Maybe I should have at least acted less jealous of my sister's radiance and glory as a hero of Equestria. Maybe I should have acted less boastful. Maybe I shouldn't have done a lot of things..." Lunar Eclipse thought.
But there was no time to think, as her sister rained down glowing balls of fire at her head. Luckily, she deflected all of them. Solar Glow then used her greatest power yet: the ability to open the gateway to Tartarus.
It took every last ounce of effort to put this in place. But with great pains and perseverance, she opened Tartarus, lifted her sister up with her magic and said,
"Farewell forever hated sister. Farewell forever."
And she was thrown into the gaping dark hole of evil.
