Bright Haze: Archmage of Olde

Celestia's story of Kalmor-

Two thousand and five hundred years ago our old city florist with young unicorn mages eager to learn the arts, I built a tower excluded from the rest of the city so they could practice under mine, and Luna's supervision. We were proud beyond reason at how our unicorns were learning, becoming stronger, smarter. They would never want to stop using their magic, but would still welcome the time they could go home to their families, everypony was learning good magic, we had grown an army of Equestria's defenders an almost unstoppable force. But one day, this middle aged unicorn comes into the tower and asks me to help him learn aging spells so he could practice for much longer than most. I agreed thinking everypony would ask for it, but this mage; Kalmor, had been learning dark magic on his own in the forbidden area of the old library. He was near on invisible with never aging and all the dark protection spells he had casted on himself. Kalmor became more dark and evil as time went by and one day, he broke.

Kalmor went crazy and began killing the mages in the tower, shooting them all with his magic lightning. Hundreds died, he burned down the tower and then disappeared.

For years myself and Luna believed him dead, but we were wrong.

For almost one thousand years passed and almost all memory of Kalmor had died, Luna had a coltfriend Star Burst and the city and mage tower were growing again. But one day, Kalmor returned, very much alive. The mage had gone into complete darkness, he had learnt all kinds of magic's, many from the western Zebras and long expelled enemies, Kalmor summoned an Ursa Major and commanding the beast to attack our glorious city, Star Burst fought the thing, defeating it but sadly falling into the Void with it. We were forced to evacuate and once again Kalmor vanished. We moved to the mountains where Canterlot is now. That was also the day where Luna became Nightmare Moon. I was now on my own fighting Kalmor, not knowing where he was, but still ready to fight if the need arrived. One day, it did.

Almost two hundred years after Nightmare Moon's banishment passed and Kalmor came back, asking just for a duel between myself and him. I accepted and after almost two weeks of fighting. I won, killing the mage, almost falling myself. But we were safe. And that, my little ponies, is who Kalmor is.
