Over one thousand years ago before the binding of the mad mage Discord, a lone being brought fear to the world. Little is known about this being, only legends of its might remain. At least, that is what Celestia has lead the world to believe. Only her and Luna know the truth.

But when the witch Chrysalis frees Discord from his stone prison, and together they steal the Elements of Harmony, Celestia finds herself powerless to stop them. Chrysalis then demands to know where Celestia has kept the legendary helmet of death hidden. Celestia, in hopes of saving her citizens bends to the will of evil. Little does she know, all hope is not lost.

A humanized fic inspired by Frank Frazetta's Death Dealer
