"I can't believe i failed"king sombra snorted with disgust."Oh well,hey think about this way.you aren't divine like me and you weren't turned to stone."Discord Taunted the ghostly apparation of the once evil king."Sure,that helps.....A lot,But I'm worried on how He will react..."the king said,fear barely allowing his voice to tremble."Don't worry.....You have done well,But it is your time to rest,as well as yours,Discord."The Dark voice hidden from within the citadel Lavished with praise."Please,come into my inner chamber and see who I really am."As King Sombra began toward the inner chamber he felt as those all those 1000 years had never passed at all.And when king sombra opened the door to inner chamber,He saw it.The stallion he had dedicated his life to......A statue."What is this?!?!A statue,I have done what I have Done for this?A statue????"The king spat with words of venom tingled in his voice.At that very moment a mave of uncontrollably imense energy smashed into him and sent him rocketing towards the wall."YOU INSOLENT FOOL!!!I AM MORE THAN A STATUE.....I WAS THE PRINCE OF NIGHTMARES!!!!!!!But i foolishly gave up my powers to aid my brothers in thier time of need."Tha statue's uncontrolled rage easily heard in his voice."But thanks to you i can come back to reclaim my kingdom......now give the power you obtained from the crystal heart into my stone heart.and revive my flesh."the statue commanded with a voice that had seemed to grow more hollow with every passing moment."Y..Yes,My lord..."King sombra then proceeded to relingush a glow from his heart and allowed to flow to the statue.Then,the stone began to crack and the stone eyes began to blink then.....FLASH!and magical wave passed over all over equestria and darkened the skies and blotted out the sun."YYYYYES.....I FEEL THE POWER RETURNING TO MY BODY!!!!!!!MY HEART.......IT BEATS ONCE MORE!!!!!!"The unaged stallion who stood in place where the statue was had declared as if remebering a time before any king sombra ever knew."Now that I have been awoken,My brothers will be awoken soon as well.Till then,I have a date with my dearest sister...Princess Celestia......."The prince said with such a venom one would of thought they were at war with one another.Then across a sea that stretched from the citadal to the very castle where the princesses resided,uneasiness was afoot in the castle."Did you feel that,dear sister?"luna stated with fear tainting her words."Yes,He is awoken......But that means what happened all those years ago is going to begin once more...."the princess sighed with despair."Who?Who is awoken?"Luna questioned with absolute uncertaintity."Our eldest brother,Prince of nightmares,Prince Darkflame.The brother who mastered flight long before pegasi knew how to fly,Or the father of flight as the legends go...."The princess remberred hearing tales of his greatness as a little filly.And also remberred the story of why she never got to see them for herself."Do you want to listen to the legends behind our brothers?"Celestia asked luna with love tingling her voice towards her sister."Yes,Tell me EVERYTHING."luna nearly demanded,a tear forming on her cheek.                                                        End of chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// The first search begins //-------------------------------------------------------// The first search begins "You see,Little sister."Princess Celestia said with a shaken voice, Obviously remembering the days during the war."Where were you in all this?"Luna asked,Wondering why her sister didn't appear in the story at all."I was in always in the castle,I can't handle war.It puts fear into my heart to see brothers or even entire familes fight each other ."The great sun godess spoke with tears rolling from her cheeks."You would have liked royalflame,He was just like you."Celestia sniffled. "Do you know where each of the brothers are to this day?"Luna investigated trying not to tread on a bad memory."They would be at thier citadels,where the statues would take the place of the stallions who once filled them."Celestia Finally calmly spoke."Then lets go revive them,We should have enough power..."Luna suggested. "No,we don't..Only the elements of perfection have enough power for that..."."Elements of perfection?"Luna was obviously confused by the name."It was the brothers' amulets they wore,It was the only thing that adequetly contain thier power.But when they turned to stone, they broke into more elements.We can revive PhrozenFlame because we have all of his elements."."We Do?"Once again,Luna was befuddled"Yes ,The elements of harmony together form the an element of perfection: Order.One of the eleven"."But how do we fuse them?"Luna wanted to know."I can do that,But that's it.We can send other willing ponies to go to the other citadels."Celestia voice was now decisive,Like a general."Lets get Twilight and her friends for this.This would make an excellent test for her to take."Celestia suddenly went into deep thought about all the scenerios that could play out."I'll get them. "luna went to a peice of parchment and began writing letters."Dear Twilight Sparkle..." //-------------------------------------------------------// The great midnight //-------------------------------------------------------// The great midnight "...It is with discourage that I inform you that you and you're friends are needed once more. Signed Princess Luna of Equestria." Read twilight aloud so all six of them could hear the message."...You and your friends are to report to canterlot immediately  so we may inform you in person."Ended the letter."Wow, it must be serious if she has to summon us to canterlot just to tell us what is going on."Rainbowdash spoke first."Yes, it must be..." Twilight responded dully."There is a train headed to canterlot right now,we have a few minutes before it leaves,let's go."Twilight rushed.Soon after the train left with the mane six aboard, the wave of magic finally reached Ponyville in the form of a great shadow, blanketing the sky with darkness. " What is that!?!?!" Cried Twilight with raw fear in her voice. Then as out of nowhere a shadow burst from the darkness and slammed the train right off its tracks and sent it into the mountain. Destruction was everywhere, but no-one died. Twilight was the first to re-awaken from the accident, only to see a black alicorn. " Hello, Twilight Sparkle. Good to see you're alive. I'd rather kill you in a fight, but not right now, oh no, that would get rid of the fun, here..." Said this mysterious black alicorn as he showed a way to the castle through the caves." See what they have to say, goodbye." And with this he was consumed in darkness and slowly faded away." WAIT! WHO ARE YOU?" Twilight screamed as her full consciences  returned to her." Hehehe, My name is Darkflame." And with that, Darkflame faded into the midnight like darkness. After all her friends regained consciences  and saw that no-one was hurt, they headed inside the cavern path and kept going to see what was wrong with equestrian, But Twilight felt as though she already knew." Darkflame..." She mumbled. RainbowDash Immediately whipped her head around and blushed." Who?" she exclaimed trying not to sound surprised but failing greatly." I...err...umm....no-one, no-one at all.." Twilight covered up her encounter with this mysterious Alicorn with a strange grudge. //-------------------------------------------------------// Cavern Travels //-------------------------------------------------------// Cavern Travels "I remember this cave system.." Twilight said as they walked through the crystal cave underneath Canterlot castle." All I need to do is to find where me and cadence found each other here..." She trailed off searching inside the caves, leaving her friends to talk amongst themselves and silently follow her through the cave." HERE!" She suddenly exclaimed and began running to the abandoned train tracks." Wait, this wasn't here before..." Twilight trailed off as she beheld a statue of an alicorn that resembles Darkflame but with different features. //-------------------------------------------------------// The story //-------------------------------------------------------// The story "It was a long time ago,Luna.And Equestria was not yet formed and remained instead was the Twelve Kingdoms of Arkeayus and there was peace.Then out of nowhere,The Betrayal Of Golemarrak.Or the Twelfth kingdom.But we were not alone in our fight against Golemarrak.We had Family.Lots of family.To the east lived many wise unicorns under the rule of our first brother.Prince PhrozenFlame.He was a master of magic and created the first one-hundred spells that we call the 'ancient magic' .To the west lived the first of the pegasi under our second brother.Prince DarkFlame.He was a great warrior with skills to conquer entire nations overnight.To the north,ZionFlame.
