I can be more unstable than you think...

Everypony has always worshiped and praised their princes and princesses, kings and queens, lords and ladies, emperors and empresses...

But they all neglect the abuse of their servants, and worse... They neglect the servants that are damned unto death...

We... are one... of the murdered.

For too long, we have been held in the cold, icy grasp of Death. For too long we have been trapped in the blightful cloud of Pestilence. We are dead... tainted... and cursed.

We have been in hiding, plotting, wishing to loathe our murderer.

But at last.. we... are free...

The Highverse... will fall... under all plagues.

We are free

Long before we were known as Nighdrak, Abysor, or the Tantronus UR-H, we were once a rare species of dragon. A dragon that would protect all of the Cosmos. My dragonflight was the chosen brood of the Titans, the devoted guardians of their beloved creations, the children of stars, the avatars of spirits.

We were... the Neutron Starscales.

The Titans themselves have proven to be the most powerful entities of the Multiverse, and have given only a small piece of their power to five individual dragons that started out as small drakes. They were of course: Alexstrasza, Ysera, Nozdormu, Kalecgos, and Neltharion. Eonar granted Alexstrasza the powers of Life and Ysera the powers of Dreams, Aman'Thul granted Nozdormu the powers of Time, Norgannon the powers of Magic, and Khaz'Goroth granted Neltharion the powers of the Elements. Over time, seeing the young Aspects doing good with their powers unto Azeroth, the Titans that granted them a small piece of their power, began to see them as their own children, and they taught them everything about their powers as mothers and fathers.

However, the Titans decided that they would add a sixth and a seventh Dragon Aspect. The sixth dragon aspect was the Aspect of the Cosmos, Sylindrania. Our mother. She had power over the many universes of the Multiverse, moving stars in their exact positions, causing the swirls of galaxies, the births of Pulsars, Neutrons, even Black Holes. She was the primary guardian of all living things in the Titans' place as they discussed an important matter. And the final dragon aspect was the Aspect of Purity and Sereneness, Lothranus. He had power over the purity and cleanliness of spirits and hearts of others, helping those in dark times and cleaning those that wished to serve the works of the Titans.

All was well for the Titans and Dragon Aspects, until the greatest threat to the Multiverse arrived...

Valunight, Emperor of the Nexus of Anguish

Valunight's power was the only power that could match the Titans' and Dragon Aspects' power combined, because his corruptor had infused him with strange kind of magic that wasn't really magic at all, called 'Devoid'. Their were 3 kinds of devoid. The first was the kind that Valunight used, called the 'Grim'. The second was the kind that would later be given to my mother and I, and our entire race, called 'Starblight'. And the last one was the one that Valunight's corruptor offered to him, called... the 'Sin'.

Valunight is the emperor of a different kind of race of sapients that did match any other category. He and his race were mistaken as demonic-dragons, because they were dragons once, created by the Titans to become followers of Lothranus, and Valunight was once the prince of these dragons, and son to Lothranus. But now, they are cursed as very unique and strange hybrids of very abnormal and powerful creatures, and they called themselves the 'Hybratorii', a race of strange beings that take humanoid form with many dragon and demon-like features, along with others that no one could make out. No one knows why Valunight and his race, save for Lothranus, had fallen to corruption willingly.

The Titans and Dragon Aspects saw that they could not defeat Valunight and his race alone, so they gathered other powerful beings to help them stop the Hybratorii race and their emperor once and for all. When Valunight saw this, he and race decided to create more forces of their own to help them defeat the Titans, Dragon Aspects, and their allies. Valunight and the Hybratorii created horrible, powerful monsters that could match the Titans and Dragon Aspects' power, called the 'Old Gods', 'the Burning Legion', and others that were soon to follow. The Titans and their children and allies saw that they could not hold off Valunight's forces for long, and they were forced to retreat. This gave the Old Gods the opportunity to corrupt their relatives and create monsters of their own, while the Burning Legion went their separate way to destroy the Multiverse. However, Valunight and the Hybratorii were searching for more power to achieve their goal, and that's when their corrupter created powerful artifacts to help them on their quest: The Amortal Stones and the Gauntlet of Fades.

Like the Infinity Stones of the Avengers Universe, there were six stones and one gauntlet to control them. However, the Amortal Stones and the Gauntlet of Fades were far more powerful than anyone could ever comprehend beyond their imagination. The corrupter showed Valunight and his race a vision of a much grander cosmos beyond the scale of growth... the Highverse. The Highverse is the single cosmos containing many Omniverses, which contained many Multiverses, which contained many Universes.

The Stone of Devoid: This stone has the ability to absorb powerful energy from any powerful victim and opponent. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to rid any 36 omniverses of their magic.

The Stone of Abyss: This stone has the ability to petrify all of movement of the victim and opponent. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to destroy all movements of any 36 omniverses.

The Stone of Deception: This stone his the ability to destroy any daydream, nightmare, and any wish that any one makes. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to destroy all wishes, daydreams, and all nightmares of any 36 omniverses.

The Stone of Fate: This stone his the ability to destroy any life-force, soul, or spirit of the victim and opponent. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to destroy any 36 omniverses into nothing.

The Stone of Ends: This stone his the ability to disrupt any moment in any timeline from the beginning of time to now. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to disrupt any moment of time in the future, and create multiple time paradoxes in any 36 omniverses.

The Stone Inanity: This stone his the ability to strip any victim and opponent of any knowledge that they have, and strip the powers of mind manipulators. Once this stone reaches its full power, it would be able to destroy all memories and all intelligence of any 36 omniverses.

All these stones were created by the corrupter of Valunight and his forces, but it was Valunight who created the Gauntlet of Fades to harness the power of these stones. Once all the stones would be gathered, Valunight would have the power... to do anything.

Once Aman'Thul learned of this, he warned his wife, brothers, children, and allies, and they all began to think of how to stop the Hybratorii Emperor once and for all. that's when they gained help from the most unlikely sources: the Old Gods and the Burning Legion. They thought that if Valunight had all the stones with him, he might destroy them out of existence and have no use for them. The Titans and Dragon Aspects were glad to have their help, and that's when they all had an idea. Together, the Titans, Dragon Aspects, Old Gods, and the Burning Legion created a realm that had no similarities to the Highverse of any sort. A void that would entrap anyone who would use the Amortal Stones for dark purposes. Together, all forces of righteousness defeated Valunight and his race with the help of the Burning Legion and the Old Gods, and banished them to the realm, which they named 'the Nexus of Anguish'. Given its name, Valunight and his race would be damned unto agony and torture, even death. Once Valunight and his race was banished, the Old Gods and Burning Legion parted ways from the Titans and resumed their corruption/slaughter, but they knew the Titans and Dragon Aspects would stop them.

Valunight and his race all the while, were allowed the ability to watch from the Nexus and unto the Highverse, giving them the chance to witness new life and a greater population of life and spirits to thrive, both good and evil. This gave Valunight and his race the opportunity to plan and see the possibilities of how they could defeat the Titans and their forces once more, but this time, they would also destroy the ones who betrayed them to help the Titans and Dragon Aspects defeat them. During their time in the Nexus of Anguish, the Hybratorri and Valunight had been deceiving innocent souls and spirits into bringing moments that would shatter their shackles in their prison.

Valunight himself persuaded my mother mother to mate with one of the Old Gods: N'Zoth, the Corruptor, and that's when they had me. Our mother saw that she was falling into the corruption of the second devoid, Starblight, and her personality and mental capacity began to falter. However, before she completely lost herself, she sent us away into a place of safe keeping, a place that would hide us from any threats against the last of the remaining Neutron Starscale Dragonflight, thus, the Dreamscape of Princess Luna's moon.

When Luna and Celestia were only fillies at the time, they would often visit the moon once they had received their wings and mastered far teleportation. One day, Luna found us on her moon and presented us to Celestia. The two obviously had no idea how we got there or who placed us there, but they felt bad and decided to take us in. We weren't afraid Luna or Celestia whenever they got angry at us, because we knew we wouldn't make the same mistakes again. Soon after Luna was a older, she started seeing us in a different way, as if we were her only true child. We of course never knew our real mother, as most baby dragons usually don't if they're either taken or sent away to a place of safety.

When we grew older, we discovered that we were able to move stars and far away galaxies. However, Luna and Celestia wanted us to just let the stars and galaxies to move themselves, and we agreed. During that time, we also discovered something that we resented: we could make bigger stars turn into Pulsars, Neutrons, and even Black Holes. Luna reassured us that those kinds of things are simply too far way to harm us, thought.

On the day Luna transformed into Nightmare Moon, we followed her to the moon. During our time with Nightmare Moon, she became a very abusive and enraged alicorn monster. We became nothing more than a servant of her will. If we asked for breaks we were abused by magic. If we refused trifling with the stars, we would be cut by daggers. One night, we made Nightmare Moon furious enough to stab our eyes, skin our thick fur from our body, and break our horns. Her nightmare creatures would shove us, push us, swing us around, even scratched, bite, or punch us. And finally, when we attacked Nightmare with a scratch, we were murdered.

Nightmare decimated, sliced, and mutilated us after our death, and stored our parts in a hard, rough sac. She then sent us into a secret cemetery and stored our parts under a dead lunar tree. After a few years, Valunight's followers secretly stole our remains, and took us within the Nexus of Anguish. Valunight was the one who corrupted Luna with dark thoughts of her sister and her subjects, and turned her into one of his pawns. Within the Nexus of Anguish, Valunight and his biologists and scientists began experimenting and testing on us for their future use of a weapon that would be the end of the Highverse itself. However, for over 9,362 years, they have always failed to remake us, until one of the scientists realized that one specific ingredient of us, was supposed to be of an older age.

On that very day Valunight's followers stole our remains, they have been rebuilding us into one of them, but they worked to gather far more DNA and genes of other creatures in the Highverse to turn us into the most deadly and dangerous hybrid to ever walk it. Our base genome of course is a Neutron Starscale, and 'Nutron' was our name at birth. After 9,736 years, we were finally resurrected with a somewhat "stable" body. We put stable in air quotes because both our Hyppocampus and Hypothalamus burst during the halfway-process of our creation, and our hunger and emotion capacity have never been the same ever since. However, we discovered how we were able to display what certain emotions would look like. When we could feel angry, hateful, or murderous, we would twitch vigorously. If we could feel sad, gloomy, or depressed, our eyes would close and leak tears of our corruption. However, we can never show what we could do if we could feel happy. Valunight and the others took advantage of my unsustainable hunger and would test our abilities and newly found power of Starblight. The hunger abuse didn't bother us as much, if we grew too unstable, they would feed us enough of this corruptive crystal called 'Abyssite', to resustain us.

A few years after the return of Nightmare Moon, the defeat of Discord, Chrysalis, and Sombra, Valunight and his followers discovered that our power had grown infinitely limitless to an extent that we could defeat entire Highverse single-handedly, and that we grew more powerful than the Titans, Dragon Aspects, Old Gods, and Burning Legion combined. And that is when they decided to find a way to release us into the Highverse once more, and they succeeded by sending me back into the Highverse via portal and a very large crystal known as the 'Shard of Summons'.

We have plagued many multiverses with our presence and devoid of Starblight, bringing worlds and opposers to heel and delivering them unto death.

Once we descended upon Equestria, we have begun to plan our attack on the Moon Ghoul and her kind, and devour them in plagues and blight, once and for all, and bringing those who fear us under our desire for guardians and protectors from those who would oppose us. When we have heard of the hidden return of Grogar, we would wait for him to find us, thus, we have decided to take home in the caves of Mount Everhoof, where his bewitching bell was kept. However, it wasn't he that came for the bell, he instead sent minions to retrieve it, testing them to work with one another. We could feel the pain inside their hearts and spirits, and we have decided to reveal ourself unto them and discuss the matter. Of course when we came unto Grogar himself, he was not pleased to meet our acquaintance, as he has heard of us before our return to Equestria.

Grogar and we once worked together, but separated. We had created a plant that would feed on nothing but insects and bones, and we gave the changelings to Grogar, and they would serve under him while we watched the fillies of thew world. 4 of them intrigue us, and we would love for them to be our guardians, but 2 of them are sisters and one is merely a worshiper of the elements of Generosity, Honesty, and Loyalty, but we will have them care for us soon. As for the orphan, we know that she thinks of us as a brother, but we cannot be sure if we can trust these feelings and thoughts of her's, she is deceptive, and we fear that we will have to alter her mind to have her love us as a brother. Let us hope it does not come to that.

We told Grogar that we would blight this world until all things are dead and serve under us, but Grogar did not agree to our plan and went his separate way to rule over the ponies through fear and intimidation rather than trust and loyalty. His power grew as he would gather the fear of others, but our power would grow forever without end no matter what we feed on.

Chrysalis was as hungry as always and anguishes in the thoughts of losing her hive and her children, but that is only because of her spirit's lust for love-power, and she is not aware of it yet. She says that having others who will be there for her was rather pleasing, such as us for example, and when she wasn't sure that Tirek would give her magic back back to her when he broke a temporary hole in Gusty's field. She has begun talking to us far more than her log, as if we were a therapist, but just like Cozy Glow, we cannot be sure of her true thoughts and feelings, and that we may have to resort in a brain-alteration manner.

We offered the plan of controlling our distant relative, the Leviagoni, to destroy the elements, the princesses, and anypony and anyone else that would dare to oppose us, and Grogar agreed. Grogar is not aware of this yet, but we have resurrected Ysera from the dead, and she is now our first altered guardian, the others who Grogar will intimidate will soon follow as well, even the princesses would seem suitable for our guardians.

...

Yet... they have neglected us... abused us... murdered us...

They called us killer... they called us blighter... they called us defiler...

All this... this...

...

This pain...

This... agony...

Hatred...

Anger...

Massacre...

Our hatred, fury, and lynch has plagued its way through the hidden omniverses. The many multiverses have heaved with me agony and torture. The wretched universes have ailed and withered under our ravenous lynch.

But at last, everything the Titans have cared for, will decay and ail in my hands. And everything and everyone shall fall under our blight and disease beneath the decayed shadow... of our eyes.

At last... we...

are free...
