Drangleic, the kingdom before Equestria. Home to the Greatest Warriors of the land, Blacksmiths and Artisans. A Curse Plagued the land, turning its inhabitants into mindless Undead, except for one. The one known as The Bearer of the Curse.

The Bearer of the Curse became undead at some point, hollowing until he had no recollection of his former life. Desperate to find a cure, he was drawn to the walled off kingdom of Drangleic, where a cure to the undead curse was rumored to exist. Journeying through a portal and guided by a Fire Keeper, the Bearer of the Curse found himself in the Things Betwixt. Finding there a hut with the remaining Fire Keepers, the Bearer of the Curse is made to remember more of their past and is cured of their hollowing through a Human Effigy. The Bearer is then guided towards Majula to seek the Emerald Herald.

The Herald, in turn, tells the Bearer of the Curse to seek the king, Vendrick, to find his answers and claim the throne, but warns that the Bearer will never find the king with a soul so pallid, instructing him to seek out the four Great Ones and to claim their power.

The Bearer traveled the land, finding the four Great ones and slaying them. Through his Journey, he had learned more about the kingdom and the curse itself.

And after finally finding his true goal, he set out to Drangleic castle in search of the throne. Finding the throne and slaying the guardians, he then faced with the Queen herself and slain her before finally taking the throne.

After he claimed his throne, the doors closed behind him and he sat, waiting for another brave Undead to claim the throne from him.

Countless millennias later, he had awoken but not from an Undead but a young Librarian woman.

See how Equestria can handle the Bearer of a Curse long forgotten along with the re-awoken creatures of old.

I do NOT own the cover art, it was something I found on google
I might change the description some time soon, if I can come up with something else.

Also this is a Humanized fic.
