Prologue
It was two weeks after the incident at the royal wedding, and now the changelings were starting to recover and regroup, but Queen Chrysalis was still missing. “CAPTAIN LOCHOOF, CAPTAIN LOCHOOF!” “What do you want grunt? As you can see, I am trying to run what's left of what you call 'an army'”. “But I... But I-” The exhausted grunt was interrupted by Lochoof . “Spit it out, or I will kill right here on the spot”. “Sir I-I found the Queen she's- she's at the castle were Nightmare Moon was defeated in the Everfree Forest.” “Very good, I'm going to go there right now, I'll be back in a few days.”
It took Lochoof two days of walking in the dark to get from the changelings base to the Everfree Forest, for you see, Lochoof was the only changeling that couldn’t change his form because he had sacrificed that for strength and power. After he made an hour into the forest, he could sense something dark watching him, but when he looked around for the thing, there would be nothing but the trees around him.”HAHAHAHAHA I KNOW YOUR THERE WATCHING ME HAHAHA,” Lochoof said. A sound started to echo, scaring all the animals in the area, then the darkness started to speak in a soft minuscule voice, “So, you can sense my presence.” Lochoof yelled out in fear, “WHAT, WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!” Now the wind started to pick up, and now Lochoof knew this thing was getting angry as hell.”DO NOT HELP THAT SO-CALLED QUEEN PERSUE WHAT SHE IS AFTER, OR YOU WILL DIE ALONG SIDED HER!” After that was said, the thing's presence had disappeared. ”Like hell, I’ll listen to the wind! I am loyal to my queen, and I’ll die for her as well,” said Lochoof.
Lochoof finally reached the the castle, and went in. When he was inside, he saw a light coming from a hole. Lochoof walked into the hole, and after ten minutes of walking he found his queen reading a book in a secret library. “Ah, my loyal servant, you finally found me, I’ve been waiting for you.” “But what is this place and how did you know that I was coming here?” Chrysalis started to chuckle and said “ Well, as you can see, this is the forbidden library of Equestria and I knew that you were coming because that I could sense the same 'thing' that warned you, tried to warned me too, but I say screw that”. Chrysalis then went back to reading her book. and after a few seconds, her eyes started to widen and then she said “ I found a way to bring back Nightmare Moon”. Lochoof started to stutter but he was finally able to say “You found what, your highness?”. Chrysalis started to laugh maniacal “ THIS IS PERFECT JUST PERFECT!” After that she started to calm down, and then she looked at Lochoof, and she smiled at him “With this book I can bring back Nightmare Moon, and then I can use my powers to make her obe-” she was interrupted by Lochoof “But your highness, Nightmare Moon was almost as powerful as Celestia, how do you think you can control her?” Chrysalis's grin got wider “You idiot, did you think that I would have forgotten about that.” Lochoof bowed down “ A thousand pardons, your majesty.” “You're lucky I like you, but as I was saying, the way to control her is by shadow eye gem” Lochoof lifted his head up and said, “How do we get one or even make one?” Chrysalis started to grin again. “For we have to craft it out of two things.” She pauses for a second before continuing “ A black start gem from a meteorite and blood from the Slender Pony” Lochoof's eyes began to widen “THE SLENDER PONY! ISN'T THAT JUST A LEGEND” Chrysalis locked eyes with him “Calm yourself, and it is just as real as you and I. Plus, you all ready heard it because it was that 'thing'.” Lochoof's mouth gaped open, and it was a minute before he could even talk. “So it was that 'thing'?” “Yes it was and it may be able to kill other ponies but it does have a sane side. For it knows the future, and it will try to warn other ponies if they dig into something evil” Lochoof started to grin evilly. “So I guess we're on this evil trek.” Chrysalis grinned back as to agree “ According to the book I’ve been reading the meteorite we need will be crashing down right in a few days, so I’ll need you to get a team together, mine the meteorite, and get the stone before any other pony gets to It.” Lochoof nodded his head, “Yes.” Chrysalis picked up the book she was reading, then flipped back to the page, and placed a bookmark in it, but at the same, time she was in awe. “What is it, your highness?” Chrysalis hung her head in shame “Ugh, it turns out that the same person can't turn into Nightmare Moon twice.” “So what are we going to do now?” Lochoof said. Chrysalis had a giant grin on her face “If we cant use Luna, we will just have to use another powerful pony.” Lochoof looked at her, confused. “Who?” She started to laugh evilly, “None other than Twilight Sparkle!” Lochoof bowed then said “Just tell me when, and she is as good as kidnapped”. “We may have to wait a good while before we can even think about that part of the plan.” Lochoof looked at her and nodded that he understood. “ Okay, now let's go back to castle”. Chrysalis walked to up Lochoof, and with her magic, they were gone. So Now begins the start of the true main character, and as he also walks this path of evil.
