What was hidden under the gods muzzles
Bringing back the darkness
Old castle of Equestria
In the blistering cold night of a full moon raised by none other then the princess of the sun herself.The alicorn stand on the edge of her royal bedroom gazing at the image of a mares figure on the moon, remembering the sad event that happened 10 days ago.
The day that her poor little sister was banished to the moon.
**"SOON THE SUN WILL FALL AND THE NIGHT WILL LAST FOREVER!!!"* As nightmare moon said in her royal Canterlot voice.*
Those words where echoing in her head ever since that day.
"It was for the best..." she whispered in a sad tune as a tear drips onto her royal golden hooves. She knew that her dear sister Luna, held by her evil consciousness 'Nightmare moon' will be stuck in the moon for eternity.
The royal alicorn 'princess Celestia' knew that the Element of Harmony will bring justice in Equestria but she didn't know that Lunas punishment would be this deep. After a few minutes of staring at her little sisters prison she finally decided to go to sleep reminding herself of her morning duties.
When the princess fell into her deep slumber she failed to notice a white mist materializing of a tall stallion standing right next to her bed. The stallion was at a height similar to Celestia herself but its body structure was anything of an alicorn. The ponies body was lacking a horn and wings making it the tallest unnatural earth pony in Equestria. it even lacked a mouth and nostrils not even a tail or mane, but the only visible feature that can be seen on its face was a pair of illuminating eyes bright as the stars.
The stallion looked at Celestia as it observed the princess of order as she snoozed lightly, After a few minutes of looking at her he then focused its attention to the moon. The stallion mumbled a few words as he walked to the same position that the princess last stood to raise the moon, creating an aura of magic around his body without a use of a horn. The aura was short lived as the magic enchanted four crystals similar to the elements glow as it surrounds the moon leaving four stars slowly colliding to the moon over time.
Somewhere, inside the empty courtroom decorated for the throne of the once powerful princesses, now lost one, lies the Elements of Harmony, There never ending illuminating glow of the previous shaped gem, now slowly encased in stone of its energy being drained like liquid, being desecrated. Bits by bits, it looses it's blinding colors to smoldering grey as the new user collects all six of its powers, leaving behind the stone sculptures of whats left of its empty shell.
"who's there?" Celestia said as she woke up from feeling magic being used in her room. Searching throughout her room she finds nothing but darkness and the light of the moons reflection. When her head turned to look at the edge of the room near the window where the source was from, she saw nothing. After a few seconds of looking around she finally came to a conclusion that it was one of her night guards taking their position of their daily patrol with an illumination spell somewhere nearby.
Feeling satisfied she finally went back to her slumber.

On the moon
Nightmare moon was the first one to notice the changes in her beautiful night sky as four new stars appeared. She was confused at first. No one has the power or the magic to change the stars other than Celestia and herself. But her mind came up with a simple solution.
"HOW DARE SHE CHANGE MY BEAUTIFUL STARS JUST BECAUSE I AM IMPRISONED HERE!!!! SHE WILL PAY!!!!" her shout would have shattered any pony's ears from a mile away, but nothing can hear her from the deep empty vacuum of space let alone the moon.
Then something odd caught her eyes. White mist was floating towards her by its own will and the mist itself was a shape of a tall stallion. The figure caught her off guard as it starts materializing again. Its form was the same as the last approach but this time it had six transparent wings being powered by six unfertilized crystals. Nightmare moon can describe it as a pair of dragon wings, and Pegasus wings. But the last pair had an odd shape that she cant describe from a creature.
"AND WHO THOU SHALT ENTER MY MOON??!!" She said with her same royal voice with a sneer.
"DID MY WRETCHED SISTER SENT YOU?!!"
unfazed by her shout, all the stallion did was a simple nod as "no", just by reading her lips from the vacuum of space.
"THUS WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Yelling at the unknown stallion at a close distance.
However, It knew her temper and created a barrier surrounding Nightmare moon with its non existing horn only leaving the crystals to shine a dim light of rainbow colors. Nightmare was shocked at first, then flailed, using every magic in her power and knowledge but had no avail as the barrier containing its hold with not even a scratch.
After hours of thrashing with her magic, the immortal evil princess of the night huffs heavily and grinds her teeth from her defeat. "GRRRR HOW HUMILIATING!!!!!"
WHO ARE YOU??.
The stallion walked up to Nightmare moon folding its transient wings with a deathly look in its eyes. That alone made her fall to her hind in slight fear. "Your time will come... where you walk among the earth once again to bring balance for chaos within a millennium" speaking with its simple telepathic spell.
OH? AND HOW SO?.
"The stars that are created is my answer, nothing less."
"HOW IS THOUGH POSSIBLE?? YOU DON'T POSSES MAGIC IF YOUR NOT A UNICORN!!!."
"That knowledge is not for you to know other then your duties to bring eternal night."
Nightmare was taken aback from his last two words. After a few minutes of thinking about whats going on, she calmed down a bit thinking that this thing can give her another attempt for her redemption.
"HMMM, YOU STILL DID NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION CORRECTLY".
"...Do you swear to your kind that you will never speak of this or your reason of escape other then the stars? I wont tell you my true reasons of being here other then our deal but I can tell you my name"
"HEH, I DO"
"Very well... my name, is Yipraxis"
