Time: UNKNOWN

Far into the north east of Equestria lay a valley covered in ice and snow. The land was quiet except for a slow whistle from the wind as it hadn't been disturbed since the great freeze done by the Windigos. A sudden rift in reality opened disturbing the peaceful land and two figures stepped out. The first was a man, he wore a long black hooded cloak that was torn and open in the front revealing his silver armor. At his side pair of skeletal dogs walked, on his shoulder a crow perched and in his hand he held a Scythe. The second was a women in her late twenties, she had long white hair, two small fangs, two big white angel wings and hooves instead of feet. She wore a grey fedora and trench-coat and at her side an ornate long-sword rested in her sheath. The group walked walked toward a distant set of ruins.

"A shame that the Valley was destroyed." The women said sadly.

The man nodded sadly. "Perhaps one day we can restore it. I would love to see out home as it once was rather than as this."

Silence fell once again as the two walked together. Once they reached the Ruins they made there way to a large room that appeared to have once been a throne room. The man reached into his cloak and pulled out two shards one a glowing white the other and ominous black. The man then walked to the center of the room and thrust the shards into the ground. The shards sank into the ground and a white portal began to form. Suddenly with a burst of energy the portal opened and the man and women reached into the void it created. Two figures grabbed their hands and the man and women pulled them up. The firs to come through was a women. She had long flowing red main and tail and white fur s well as white angle wings. She wore a white dress with a crimson cloak. Strapped to her back was a comically large paintbrush as long as she was tall. The next to come out was a man. The man was nothing more than a skeleton warped in a black robe and his wings were shaped in the form of a dragon but held no flesh, strapped to his back was a scythe similar to the other mans.

The two stared in shock and looked around before facing the man and woman who had freed them.

"Father, Eris?" The woman asked in shock.

Aion walked over to the two and pulled them into an embrace. "Faust, Thanatos." He said as he hugged them.

"Good to see you again big bro, sis." Eris said with a smile. "I missed you."

"Where is Mother" Thanatos asked.

Aion smiled. "She's on her way to where the others are. We'll meet up with her in Canterlot and then go see the rest of the family."

"It will be good to see everyone again after so long." Faust said. Thanatos nodded.

Aion smiled. "Next stop, Canterlot. Oh and mind the nobles there all self entitled little shits."

The others chuckled at this and Eris gave a devilish smile. "Oh, we;ll behave." She said sweetly.

Aion chuckled. "Between you and your brother I sometimes think that you were the more sadistic one." Aion said getting an hurt look from Eris. "Just try not to break them too hard."

Eris giggled. "We'll see."

Aion shock his head and snapped his fingers opening up a portal that lead to Canterlot. "Let's have a party and maybe a blood bath too."
