Be warned. This is your story.

It doesn't have a happy Beginning, and it'll take nothing short of a journey to Change that. But this is how life in an early Kingdom of the Formless started for you, and how it will eventually End.

The conceit and ire of a time. The origin of madness. The fires of yesteryear. And sacrifice.

This is your tale. Brought about by one tragedy. You are Fated to fight against it. To do what you must. To love, and be loved. To see what we can't with Blind eyes.

I'm truly sorry, for this is the very start of your bout.

All in order to live free and to save all of your kind.

This is a prequel to A Kindled Change. It details the events that happened before the original 2012 version of that story. Chronologically, this is the first story in the three-part saga.

The absolutely stunning artwork was commissioned and created for this story, made by the artist Skyeypony on DeviantArt. If you're so inclined, feel free to give her some support on there too. Her gallery is full of amazing work!
