Tirek grumbled as he walked through the black gates of the ancient citadel, as he approached the doors he saw two changeling guards guarding the doors. "Open the doors." he said in disgust.
Quickly the changelings opened the doors and Tirek stormed in angrily. As he walked down the halls of the Citadel he admired the tapestries on the walls depicting the ancient history of the place.

The tapestry started with a dark figure cloaked in shadows who approached what appeared to be a younger version of Tirek offering a hand. The next showed slaves constructing a massive tower the Centaur standing over them as the shadow watched. The next shown was an attack on the White Tail Woods, Deer and goats fighting against the slaves and Centaur rising victorious and the Centaur retreating defeated.

The next showed a Goat approach the Centaur and shadow only to kneel as it is transformed and given robes, a green fire and a bell. The next showed an army rising from fire and blood to murder and feast as they saw fit. This army was lead by the Centaur as the Goat was shown using it's power to bring forth the dead and command them to fight. The next showed a pony bowing before the shadow and being transformed into a changeling and from this changeling rose an army of the same.

The next showed the army uniting and once again battling the Deer and Goats only this time two figures stood at the Deer and Goats side aiding them. One was a white Angle while the other was a black angle there weapons, a scythe and bow was raised high as the attacking army cowered in what looked like pain with the shadow rising and aiding them.

It then shows them returning to the tower and the shadow destroying it. from the ruble it showed them rebuilding and creating the Citadel that now stood. The next was a mix of the many battles that came forth from the mage Starswirl and the fall of the Crystal Empire.

The final tapestry depicted the Moon Alicorn turning upon her sister and summoning an army of stars to fight the ponies. The shadow approaches the Moon Alicorn but the Alicorn refuses and attacks the shadow. It then shows the Shadow fleeing and watching from a distance as the Sister uses the Elements to seal away the Moon and rain supreme. It was here that the Tapestries ended and the corrode opened up into a chamber with a table and where three figures sat.

"About time you got here." Chrysalis said grumpily.

"Where is Sombra?" Grogar asked curiously.

"Somehow he's free." Tirek said angrily. "He has refused to come and has turned to Aion."

Grogar frowned in thought. "The Crystal Heart may be responsible however he would still be bound to the Shadows. To free him Aion would have to make him an Alicorn."

"So we have more to worry about that Simply Aion and Moirai." Chrysalis sighed as she slouched in her seat. "Great, just great."

"Interesting." The third figure said causing the others to turn to him.

"Interesting? INTERESTING?! That all you have to say?" Chrysalis screamed angrily. "Your apprentices dependent is a bloody Alicorn, Princess Luna has returned and to top it off the ones you imprisoned are free!"

The third figure laughed as he turned to the angry Queen. "While I was brought here to aid you I do find it interesting how everything is starting to fall into place after so long. Add to what I am and we have a very interesting game of chess set up. However I can assure you that this game has only just begun." The figure said as he walked into the light revealing a star speckled cloak and old wizard at with bells and he smiled as his eyes glowed a sickly yellow.


Author's Note

So that is going to do it for now but I want to ask you to leave Ideas for what you want to come. You see I have the actual action planned out but I want you all to give me ideas for filler. I don't want to simply jump strait into the battle s and wars I want a slow build up to the action so what do you want to see? Do you want me to follow the show or branch off? What do you want to see or k now about the Immortals? I plan on doing at least 5 chapters of build up so leave your ideas and tell me what you want.

As always I hope you enjoyed the Chapter and I hope to see you in the next one.
