Prologue

After 1,000 years of isolation, Luna’s eyes were finally opened to the world under her own will. She awoke on the stone floor of a destroyed hall. Looking around, she noticed she was surrounded by shards of armour. Her armour. With a start she glanced at herself, wondering if what had destroyed the armour had harmed her in any way.

It hadn't. Instead, the  magic of harmony had changed her. Luna looked at herself, fascinated. Her slender blue legs had shrunken in size. Her mane was no longer flowing like the waves, but instead fell as normal hair. Her body was petite compared to what she was use to for the last millennium. With a jolt, Luna realized it.  Her body had reverted to the form she was before… the change.

“Princess Luna”, a soft, gentle voice suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts. Luna was shocked when she realized who it was that had said those words. She shot her head to the right and saw a large white alicorn walking towards her, her pink, blue and green mane flowing like grass in the wind. It was Princess Celestia, Luna’s older sister.

“It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this” Celestia said, kneeling down next to her little sister, “Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together little sister”.

“Sister?”

Luna heard 6 young ponies shout out in unison behind the elder princess. Luna looked at them and noticed one detail similar to all of the ponies. 5 of them were wearing golden necklaces, and each one had a unique jewel in the center. The final pony, a purple unicorn, had a golden tiara, topped with a purple star on the top.

‘The Elements of Harmony?’ Luna thought to herself, ‘So that is how they freed me. It seems Celestia and I can no longer control them.’

Celestia suddenly stood up, “will you accept my friendship?”, she asked her younger sister.

Luna was shocked by that. Friendship? How can she forgive me? How can she ask to be together after everything I did to this world? The emotions of loneliness and pain began to creep into her heart, bringing back the memories of being stuck on the moon, with nothing. No company, nopony to comfort her, except for… the voice.

That voice; it tormented her mind for as long as she could remember. It was stuck within the back of her mind, constantly taunting her, insulting her for being weak, and forcing her to commit horrible crimes against many ponies that she had loved. Laughing at her pain. No matter how hard she had tried, she could not stop that voice, or that terrible manic laughter. Until now.

It was the first time in Luna’s memory that her mind only had her own thoughts. It felt amazing to finally be free, to know that she would not go back to the darkness. Luna’s eyes began to pour tears. Emotions she had harbored for all these years began to spill.

“I’m so sorry! I’ve missed you big sister!” Luna yelled out, jumping up and running to her sister’s front. She laid her tear covered face over her sister’s neck, who in turn laid her head over Luna’s back.

“I’ve missed you too!”, cried Celestia, her eyes now glistening. She had suffered too over the last millennium.

After a few minutes, the two reunited princesses and their loyal subjects left the ruins together, heading through the Everfree forest back to the local village, Ponyville.


Back in desolated castle, the silence broke. Within the main courtroom ,where the battle had taken place, the sounds of rattling armor began echoing through the halls. The broken shards and plates began compiling into the center of the room. Suddenly, the pieces began to dissolve into a shaking and bubbling black mass. It began to levitate in the air when, all of a sudden, it started to shift.

Four tentacles began snaking their way to the ground from the center of the amorphous blob. As soon as they touched the stone below, they immediately began to take shape. It hardened into long, powerful legs which ended with strong, chipped hooves. At the back, another tentacle, thinner than the others, creeped out and slithered through the air. As it whipped, it began to take the shape of a long, blue tail, with blue hair at the end which gave the appearance of the tail of a lion.

A thick lump began to protrude from the front of the mass, which had now begun to take shape of a very thick stallion torso covered in midnight blue fur. As the blob in the front grew, it began forming the shape of a long, muscular neck. Then it topped off with a long, narrow head, a slender muzzle, and black nose. In the center of the forehead, a horn grew. This horn was unlike of a Unicorn. It was long, groove-less, and slightly curved toward the creature’s flank.

The eyes of the animal snapped open, revealing the eyes of a monster. They were solid silver; no iris, no pupil, nothing.

The figure glanced around the room, seeing the wreckage not only from the previous night’s conflict, but from the thousand years of rot and decay. It laughed. The laughter was unnatural. It was  like a gross parody of a foals laughter, tinged with madness.

“So, this is finally the time ‘I’ve been waiting for” the figure observed in a serpent like tone, “it took little longer than I expected, but no matter. I guess I will just have to make up for it.” Then he turned his attention to his back, where he noticed he was missing something.

“Hmm?” he questioned, probing his sides with magic. “It seems as if my power hasn’t completely returned yet. Oh, well I’ll just have to occupy myself while I wait for my wings to grow back.”

The wingless Alicorn walked across the room to the destroyed windows overlooking the forest. A lot had changed since the last time he was in Equestria. It seemed as if the land had recovered to the point in which it had no history of what it was in the past beside the old castle. He was disappointed to see that most of his past ‘art’ was seemingly forgotten to the world.

A devilish grin came to his mouth as he chuckled “I will have to make them remember who I am. And once I’m finished, no pony will ever forget!” His chuckles broke out into laughter. “Ever!”

Turning away, he began to walk down the hall towards the exit. Twin, forty-foot doors blocked the way he desired. With a smile, his curved horn began to glow with a smoke gray aura around it. The multi-ton doors were ripped from the stone like flowers from wet ground.

As sunlight streamed down onto him he shouted his challenge to the world. Not caring whether anypony heard.

“Soon Princesses, I will have Equestria! And this time, no parents,  masters, or bloody dragons  will be able to help you!”
