The Creeper

50 years before the rule of Celestia and Luna:

As Queen Faust watched over the ponies from the heavens, she had created, the earth ponies, the pegasi and the unicorns all created equally by her and to be treated equally. But her ponies didn't see it that way they were each better than the other. The unicorns lorded it over the earth and pegasi that they could move the sun and moon, the pegasi lorded over the unicorns and earth ponies that they could move the clouds and command the weather. But what did the earth ponies have...not very much they could move the earth and make food grow but that wasn't good enough for the pegasi and unicorns.

It wasn't until Grogar unknowingly brought the races together under his rule and they banished him thanks to Clover The Clever, but the earth ponies were still ridiculed they could control nothing but the very earth and even then just barely. Until one day an evil greater than Grogar could ever be awoke from a slumber older then Faust, now some of you may ask how is this evil older than Faust if she created Equis. The truth to that story is she didn't she was a new god just under a millennia old who decided to create her first world but what she didn't know was that the world she chose had been abandoned for a reason. This great evil crept from his hiding place in the only forest that didn't yield to the pegasi, and even Grogar's monsters refused to enter.

The old evil could feel the light of a new god and it's new creations and he smiled wickedly as he could smell their fear of the unknown, the fear of darkness, but what he could feel most was the imbalance. Every world no matter what it is is balanced good to evil, chaos to order, harmony to disharmony and as he wandered he felt his strength start to leave him. Going without food for so long had made him week and he couldn't walk the world well enough to feed, until he came upon a farm that reminded him of the one where he had been trapped for centuries until he escaped. There he found his ticket to the mortal realm once more.

POV: Jeeper Creeper

Jeeper was an ordinary earth pony, he got up every day with the sun and went to sleep with moon he never complained and he never bickered, but today he had finally snapped. "Those no damned good pegasi and unicorns telling me I have to give them all the ingredients for and the bread for free just to keep the sun and rain coming and I'm not the only one." He said "I swear by the deepest pits of Tartarus I will find a way to make them all pay" he shouted to the sky with as much venom as he could muster.

" Anything" a raspy voice said from what sounded like everywhere. "I can make that happen for you mortal."

"Oh yeah and how do you reckon to do that" Jeepers questioned. He knew better about trusting random voices and the little voice in his head was telling him to run,but his anger and curiosity got the better of him.

"I can make you mortal" the voice said "And all you have to do is every twenty three years for twenty three days is eat those that control and threaten you,as many as you want. Think about it the earth ponies will finally have something over the other races, a way to keep them in line if you will." The voice finished.

" Let me get this straight?" Jeppers asked for 22 years I get to sleep peacefully and on the 23rd year for 23 days I get to cannibalis those that Lord power over those that have none, I become the immortal boogeyman of those that threaten the weak and underpowered?"

"However you see fit to feed them yes" the strange voice said. " So long as you feed you will never be weak, you will never tire and nothing will ever stop you, what do you say mortal? Willing to make a deal with a demon?"

"Show yourself." Jeeper's said. "Then I'll give you my answer.

"Very well mortal, but if you run away when you see me then you deal your fate." The voice said as a tall bipedal figure walked out in front of Jeeper's, stood a 6' 8" bipedal being who looked horribly disfigured. At that moment Jeeper's small voice and instincts were telling him to run but, he had already made up his mind he wanted the earth ponies to have something to Lord over the other races, away to have respect even if it meant they received it through fear.

"You have yourself a deal demon" Jeeper's said. At that the Creeper smiled "so now what?" Jeepers finished. "Now" the Creeper said the deal will be completed" and with that the Creeper turned himself into must and entered the body of Jeeper's.

All of a sudden Jeeper went from being a three and a half foot tall earth pony, and turned into an 8 foot tall manticore, earth pony hybrid. His coat turned a sickly brownish grey, the whites of his eyes turned yellow as his Iris turned black and mixed with his pupils. He sprouted 3 foot long leathery wings on his back, and Sharp teeth filled his jaw and 5 leg like appendages with webs grew on his face.

He had passed out from the pain of the transformation, but when he awoke he galloped into his house to find his mirror. But what looked back at him was still himself. 'Only at night will you change into the monster you wanted to become, and once that happens your name will ring through out history.' The voice laughed in his head. "A fair trade" whispered Jeeper's 'As long as they pay' he thought to himself and the voice.
