Abigor POV:

I was asleep. That must be made clear, or the rest of this shall confuse you. I do not dream of much other than what I've already experienced, so imagine my surprise when this dream was simply me floating in a pitch black mass. I was wondering when something would happen when I heard a voice, female and elegant.

"I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. For I will come when your old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in may forms of emotional state, weather it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's fate." Said the voice. I realized this was a riddle told to me by Apollyon long ago.

"You are Death." I said to the inky darkness.

"Good." Said the voice, before it spoke once more.

"A black dog is sleeping in the middle of a road that has no lanterns and there is no moon. A carriage coming down the road and steers around the dog. How did the driver know the dog was there?" It asked.

I thought for a moment, before coming to one single conclusion.

"Because it was Daytime." I said.

The only response I got was a shriek that tore through my very soul and my entire body felt like it was being burnt to a crisp.

"By the end of this day, you will make us whole, or we will rip you from the very fabric of the multiverse!" said the voice, but much darker and more malignant. As though her voice were as deep as the abyss.

"I. Will. Never. Serve. Another." I managed to shakily say aloud, but then felt an increased pain in my head.

"Who are you to defy me?! I've seen hundreds of creatures like you! All bent on waging war, killing just for the sake of it! You think you'll resist me when they have not?! Sombra, Chrysalis, Discord, Tirek, Nightmare, and now you." It said to me, each name it said aloud instilled more determination to fight back.

"Who am I?" I asked aloud, for once actually considering the question. "I am Alistair Caldwell! I! AM! ABIGOR!" I screamed at the top of my lungs, then something shone out in the darkness. A circle, inside of a Crescent. Was that the Moon? Luna?

Then I awoke.

I'd expected to be in my bed, but instead, I was in a clearing outside of a cave. The Moon shone bright in the sky above me, but I wondered one thing.

'If Luna didn't save me... Who or What did?' I thought in my head as I walked towards the cave.

Deep into the cavernous pit I went, the moonlight from outside shone deeper into the cave, reflecting off of strange crystals that were stuck into the walls. Every crystal seemed to not only reflect light, but in some way I can't explain, the moonlight never diminished. Never dimmed. As I went down, I looked about the walls to see strange symbols etched into the stonework, leading me to believe that this cave was made, not formed. But who formed it?

I eventually came to a circular door, the door was carved in the visage of the crescent moon, but it was cradling the circle like a bowl.

Naturally, I pushed it open.

Inside, there were three things of note. A tapestry carved into the wall, colored by many different jewels. There was a Sword, curved in design, resting on top of a pedestal in the center, moonlight shining down on the blade. And a large Tome, also bathed in the pale-silver light.

The Tapestry was of four ponies. A dark blue mare, and her Bright white Stallion, and two little fillies. One I realized was Luna, but there was one shocking difference.

Her fur was pure white, almost glowingly so. Her eyes were a turquoise blue, and her mane was in silver strands. Was this the Mare I knew as a friend? What changed her?

My attention was then drawn to the other filly. Her fur was White, but not as bright as Luna's, her mane was a mix of reds, yellows, and oranges. A Sun cutie mark emblazoned on her dress. This must've been Celestia.

I turned my attention to the Tome, the cover of which also had the Moon-like engraving on it. Upon briefly scrolling across the pages, I read many paragraphs, but only two caught my eye in the brief moments before I continued screening the Tome.

"Sunlight and Moonlight had another fight today, this time there were onlookers. I don't want my children to fight, but neither of them see eye to eye. I taught them that it is every Royal's duty to prepare for war in times of peace, but Sunlight just says that if every-pony got along, there'd be no more wars. At least Moonlight's been paying attention, but I feel like Sunlight might just do something drastic." - Diana

And the last complete entry.

"To whomever should read this, take heed. The Void lives dormant inside Sunlight. It awaits for her death, so it can take over and devour everything, even light itself. The blade in the Safekeep should be able to kill Void, but leave Sunlight alive. My Wife does not know that I put this into her journal, but please. Save my daughters, save Equestria!" - Helios

The next three pages gave me a good indication of what happened.

They were covered in dry blood. The only legible words were as follows.

"Tell my babies Mommy lo-"

I closed the Tome, wanting to take it with me. I turned towards the glistening blade in the room.

I rested my hand on the handle, and felt a faint hum of power. I wrapped my hand around the grip, and lifted it up, only to almost drop it at an immense burning sensation occurred on my left hand, whilst my right hand was holding the sword. My eyes went over to the back of my left hand to once again see the Lunar Symbol.

Having more questions than answers, I left the cave. Wondering why I of all people, was chosen. Me, who killed simply because I wanted them to become better. A nobody, cast out by his family, and raised to be a murdering psychopath. Why on God's green earth should I be responsible for such a task.

"Because you're the only one of Equis who can do it. Believe me, I've looked." Said a feminine voice. My eyes shot forwards, then around me. Scanning the area for any signs of life. "Down here." said the voice once more. I looked down to see only the sword. I lifted it up, looking closely at the blade, only to recoil as a single blue eye gazed back in the reflection.

"Yes, It's me, Diana. If you're wondering how I got into this predicament, I'll give you the short version. In order to kill the Void inside Sunlight, the blade must know what to kill, and what to spare. That meant that either Solaris or I would have to bind a shard of our soul into the blade to aid the wielder until Void is killed. I chose you because you have one thing that everyone born in this world lacks." Said the Sword, Diana.

"A lust for war and blood?" I asked cynically.

"Humanity." She replied simply, catching me off guard. "You may not want to admit it, but you're not the bloodthirsty monster you want to be. You feel pity and regret, even going as far as to occasionally apologize to those you kill. Ponies don't have the stomachs for violence, but you see violence as a tool, starting this war woke not only Void, but me as well. Because I knew that whatever started an all out war between nations... would have just the attributes I was looking for. If not, I'd simply let Void kill you." She explained.

"So, if I were Apollyon..." I trailed off.

Did I want this? To be like her? Or did I want people to see me as more than some abandoned child, lashing out at the world because he'd been treated horribly... Why...

"Why am I really here?" I asked aloud. "Why did I follow Apollyon, like a lost pup?" I asked, only to cringe at the old name Apollyon gave me.

"Had you ever considered that she only wanted her legacy to live on? You may be one of her wolves, but your pack is what you make it to be." said the sword. I stopped dead in my tracks, as I'd been walking towards The Den, and my reality shattered.

She never wanted a son... She wanted insurance. She wanted me to be like her so the war would go on! I realized angrily. All this time I'd been following her, thinking it was what I wanted, I was really just being indoctrinated!

The thought made me so angry, I swiped my new blade at a nearby tree. At first I thought I'd simply missed, as there was no feeling of a hit, but the tree then fell in two.

"Careful, I'm sharp." Diana said.

Ignoring the comment, I continued my trek towards The Den with Diana's direction. By the time I got to the Throne Room, the Sun was beginning to rise. I saw the blade known as Craven Edge, and an idea came to mind.

I prayed to whatever deity was watching over me, to decide my fate. I held Diana and Craven up at the same time, Craven Edge was unusually silent, and stuck the tip of Craven Edge on the edge of the Throne's seat.

"Time to test the metal... and decide my fate." I said aloud, before striking the side of Craven Edge with Diana. The dark blade shattered, and a massive wave of dark red energy slammed into me, knocking me back. I felt my head slam against the floor, and then I felt nothing as darkness creeped into the front of my mind. Not a malignant darkness, a warm one, a darkness that promised the first sweet dream for a long time.

I was carried into the dreamscape, not unaware of the horrified gaze of a certain Alicorn as she just saw her friend blasted back by dark necrotic magic.

Author's Note

Yes, the main Bad Guy is Void. Why that name when Dawnbreaker is a thing? Simple. Physics... and I wanted to do something original.

Allow me to explain, once a Star dies, it goes Super Nova (Daybreaker). But the Super Nova is still technically part of the star's lifespan, mainly the ending part of it. But when the Nova dies down, when the star truly dies, a Black Hole forms. The most destructive force in the universe, and also the metaphorical gravestone of the Star.

Now for the character now known as Alistair Caldwell. A.K.A.: Abigor.

You really didn't see that coming, did you? Sure, I hammered the fact that Abigor was a stone cold killer, but i let Alistair peek through the darkness of Abigor's soul. The way it is, is that Abigor's based off of one thing, Hostility. Pure, embridled confrontation inside one body. But Alistair represents something different, Conscience. The ability to realize that he's ending lives for someone who's probably dead right now.

I don't know if you liked this story for the plot, or for the villain, but this is now cannon in this fanfic.

Abigor's actually not the bad guy.

Sure, the first part of the story so far says otherwise, but there's the entire rest of the story to prove true.
