Prologue
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIn a forgotten village long lost in history in the world of Equestria was destroyed by the hatred of one. In the lands known as the 'forbidden' lands where once ponies used to live, but corruption and prejudice created a mixture of disaster and chaos where the village stood. The village dissolved from history out of fear of remembering the 'being'. In that land, a Creature used to live, or at least tried to live in it’s so called home, for that he was not wanted, and his exclusion made him the village's fate. He later creates the war of Celestia and Luna, where all of Equestria experienced most pain in all of its history, and portals to the void where opened releasing the most brutal, and out of this world inter -dimensional beasts. Chaos was the right word, with its definition and all, literal chaos. For a few years the war continued, and one of the sister's jealousies began turning to doubt, and she realized that she was killing ponies. Her only goal was to be equal to her sister Celestia, not to destroy her home. Unfortunately, the being tortured her, and kept her from deviating from her corrupted path to power, and alas she was imprisoned for a thousand years as a consequence of the war. The being was forced to hide in the everfree forest, and out of his pleasure he cursed, and even threw a pony in to the void, where the creatures roamed. Now this creature was not evil at first, his beginning of life was as innocent as any other pony, but he grew with racism and misery, in which made him the monster that created all of this. He had no friends and no foes, he was confused and alone.
Long before the war, Drayzard the dracanoquis lived a life of misery and despair. He grew up in a village, an old village that its name is forgotten, where no pony desired his company or cared for him. He was feared for his abilities of magic and his image that resembles the hated Discord. This does not mean that he was like Discord, but the actual fact that he was a dacanoquis made everyone in the village very uncomfortable. He posed different body parts than discord, such as a horn lizard head, skeletal dragon claw, a tiger paw, and his body was that of a salamander's torso; For his legs he had a jackal leg and eagle's claw, a scorpion tail, and two wings of a skeletal bat and a raven's. His image of course, was an abomination to other ponies around him, and they had good reason to fear him. He was found abandoned; no pony took care of him for that his instincts helped him survive, and lived hidden from every pony. He grew in the forest, where he discovered his magical abilities, and ponies took noticed of that, which gave them more of a reason to avoid him. Although, he did try to help ponies out using his magic, using simple tasks that would not harm any pony, but his magic would hurt the ponies as an outcome. Instead of order, chaos came out of him. It was unwilling of him to hurt anypony since he wanted to create an image to the village that he was not a harmful creature. He tried to use his magic many times, and all his tries ended up hurting some pony with chaos in one way or another.
The village residents soon started to realize that Drayzard was more than a threat, he was going to be the destruction of the peace forming around the village. They had to take action by vanishing Drayzard from the village forever. Other ponies did find solutions instead of banishment, like using him to obtain wealth by displaying him as a rare creature (zoo-like). Most ponies where unsure, but soon came to realize that by trapping him in a magic cage forged by the unicorns, they would trap him and his chaotic magic inside. They persuaded him by giving him a chance; they brought him into the main hall by 'presenting' him to the mayor to find him a suitable position of labor, but once they entered, they chained his arms, legs, and scorpion tail. They didn't took long to encaged him. For two years he would be humiliate in front of many audiences.
Among some of the audiences came some fillies, mares, and stallions, who laughed and mocked Drayzard's “freedom of chaos”, Drayzard was already miserable from previous encounters from other ponies. This time he could not run away from the crowd's mockery, he would have to face the embarrassment head on with tears. That is all he could do, nothing but tears, for he was chained like an animal, like the beast he was. He would think of himself as a monster, and a weak monster that would be treated like a cornered rat. One day, he change his tears to rage, and among the audiences the fillies where already mocking his chaos. One mare pointed insulted his kind, and his unknown parents. Others would make fun of his image, the fillies would laugh and point, and they would poke him with sticks from fallen branches. Some of the pokes would stab his lion paw, he would sometimes bleed. Hatred grew in his head thinking "T-they want to... to laugh... hmm... I want to laugh at their funerals, spit at their graves, and pulverize their corpses, one of them after another... All of them! All!" He chuckled at these thoughts, still being poked by the fillies. They would not stop anytime soon, they kept at it... poking him. Draizard gave the fillies a look grabbed the sticks, and burned them with his magic, and threw the ashes away. His rage would later grow more.
