23 Years Ago

The clouds were gray, weeping down from the heavens as ponies wearing cloaks and metal plates on their bodies as armor stared at a black hooded figure that stood in the center of their massive circle. Villagers of the small village scurried off to cover as soldiers from all directions came to the circle, weapons ready, and glaring at the stranger that stood still. Thunder crackled in the sky as lightning flashed brightly. A dark tail, similar looking to a lion's, slowly wagged out from under the concealed stranger's robe. When lightning flashed in the sky, the soldiers became frozen in fear when they saw shining bright yellow eyes.

"It's a shame that I brought myself here due to your disobedience. It is only suitable that you all suffer the punishment for betraying me." The hooded figure that was male said as eight dark wings emerged from its back, causing most of the ponies to back away.

"W-we had enough of you Sasora ruining our village!" One soldier yelled as a spark of anger filled the soldiers nearby him. They all gritted their teeth and readied their weapons at the winged stranger.

The stranger scoffed before flapping his wings. "Then you will suffer, all of you. For you see, my cult is not to be betrayed so easily. Those who are caught harming the name of Sasora are to be judged by God. And so, you are all judged."

"W-what do you mean?" Another soldier asked.

"Who the hell do you think you are? The only God is a Goddess, and that is Celestia!"

"She will lead us to light and away from you damn cultists!"

"So who the hell do you think you are?!" A guard yelled charging forward, before thrusting his spear. But it soon stopped, inches close to the stranger's concealed face. The soldier was shaking, unable to push his spear any forward and move away from the hooded cultist.

"Who am I?" He repeated as he looked at the soldiers around him trembling in fear from the strange sorcery. The hooded figure soon stared into the frighten stallion's eyes and watched as his anger expression changed drastically to a frightened one. His courage was destroyed and panic started to boil in him. Suddenly, he was blown back by a mysterious force that sent him into a crowd of soldiers. "I am…" He started floating up in the air, using his wings to assist. The villagers and soldiers of the village stared in confusion, fear, and awe as the hooded wing creature stop just stop, hovering over the entire small village. He held out two talons that were black and in the palm of them were runic circle drawn in blood. When he held them out, his cold gaze struck panic in the village as many attempted to flee, but they were not quick when he unleashed a powerful, destructive, invisible blast that destroyed the village and its inhabitants entirely just after saying, "God."

When the smoke rose to the air, he remained in the sky, staring down at his work. "This is the work of God." He said closing his eyes before another pair of wings, larger than the others, and gold burst out from his back, wrapping around him before forming into a small ball of light that soon vanished.

Present Time

Celestia looked around at the pressed dirt that covered most of the village she sworn to protect when she was called in. But she sadly failed; blaming herself from such lost and promise not profiled. She was informed that the village was severely being abused by the cult of Sasora and her attempts to stop the cult unnoticed were difficult as she imagined it to be. Being sneaky was not the hard part, but eliminating the leaders was. She had no clue who the actual leader was, or even had the time to gather as much information to their connexions with certain villages and her country.

The cult was smart, sneaky, and worked in many dark corners that threaten her positioned in ruling the country if she ever attempted to turn on them. The cult came before her after all, but their histories to how and when were too secret for her to find out. This cult was frightening to her, as well as the Azazelists and Samuelnist cults. They forced her country into a troubling war that is still recovering from it. Two factions that were tricked by a jealous, destructive god to fight were enough to bring the war to an end along with the assistance of the mercenary squad Paradise.

Looking back, staring down the dirt road path that led into the great wilderness, her investigations became too small to put blame on the Sasora cult. As always, they were many steps ahead of her. She hated it as much as she hated any cult in general. She wanted them gone, but it was going to be difficult. She would have had Paradise do it, but they were not capable of such, for they were fighters of physical battles, not strategic ones when it came to the economy. She needed the subjects under her to become loyal to her and not blind for her power was only strong because of the cult.

They control Equestria and mostly the entire world. The best she can do is watch as they pillage more of it. If she managed to hit them in the weak spot, then they would no longer be able to prevent her from overthrowing them and finally purging away their existence. She was going to show them that she was no longer their scape goat, but their predator. It was going to take time, but she was able to manage such. For now, she had another situation at hand; one, that had to be handle with extra care.

Lowering her head to the ground, she touched it with the tip of her horn and soon, grass began growing, filling up the dirt that buried the town. Once the luscious green grass was covering the large patch of field where the village was once at, she turned around and started walking away. After taking a few more extra steps ahead, she opened her wings and started to fly away. No pony will recognize this area to being the graveyard of a village she failed to protect. The best they can do, is consider it another beautiful patch of land to rest and pass on by.
