The True Master of Chaos

4000 years ago, there was nothing but darkness across the world. There was never any sun. Never any life. Nothing. That is, until the six great beings came to the land.

No creature knows who they were or where they came from, but they do know that these six were the ones who brought everything that we are or ever will be to the barren land. One of the creators became the sun, casting a powerful glow across the black land and bringing forth warmth in the cold realm.

The next creator realized that the sun could not stay up forever, yet without it it would become pure darkness. Using its powers, it transformed itself into the small moon that gave light during the dark night.

The next being saw that the world had no form of liquid for anything. Changing his body, he became the water that flows across the ground and in all the rivers and oceans.

The youngest of the group noticed how the water would allow life to grow. The young being also took note how the ground was plain and barren. Spreading the energy within itself, it transformed into the many different plants that grow on the ground.

The second oldest of the group wanted to bring forth lifeforms to live on the land. Using his energy, he created the many creatures that roamed. Some took the shapes of the smaller creatures like birds and fish. Most of the energy, however, was focused On making intelligent creatures.

To give order to the animals, the final being, the oldest and the strongest of the six, gave his energy to develop the forms; ponies, zebras, griffons and dragons. One population of an origional number of 100 animals were given the power to watch over the others; the great alicorns.

The alicorns were blessed with the gift of immortality, never able to die from old age. They had magic which gave them the ability to control the many things within the world.

The strongest of them was a single alicorn of solid black color. His power was beyond any other  alicorn alive. His name was Solaris.

Solaris was a figure who led the many species to learn to live their own ways, allowing them to choose the forms of practice to follow. The ponies, however, wanted to stay with Solaris, seeing that he was a great leader and could give a great future.

 Seeing that Solaris cared for the world, his blood was gifted by the creators to control the movement of the sun and the moon, allowing himself and those of his lineage to complete the important tasks. Giving up the last of their powers, they turned themselves into 6 jewels that would aid him in the safety of the planet; the Elements of Harmony.

For over 2000 years, the world lived in peace without trouble. however, peace would not last forever; the dragons were also given extremely long life and great power. And yet, they would not live forever or be given the chance to control the great sun or the night time moon.

The jealousy and hatred of the alicorns began to grow to a point where many head members of the clan wanted to take control of the elements and make the other species know that they deserved to rule.

The leader of the dragons, Montara, launched a full scale assault on the pony race. Unprepared, the ponies were overwhelmed in the beginning, killed by the hundreds as the dragons scorched the land as they attacked any creature that stood in their way.

Seeing that the conflict could not be avoided, Solaris had only one option; he would have to face the dragons and fight to protect the ponies that he was entrusted to do. Total war broke out between the great clans. While the alicorns had great magic and were aided by the tribes of earth ponies, pegasus and unicorns, the dragons had great power as well and sheer numbers on their sides.

The war for the Heavens began.
