Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this the elder, who used her unicorn power to raise the sun at dawn and the younger, who brought out the moon to begin the night. Thus the two sisters maintained balance for their kingdom and the subjects, all the different types of ponies. But as time went on, the younger sister became resentful. Ponies relished and played in the day her older sister brought fourth , but shunned and slept through her beautiful night. One faithful day, the younger refused to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. The elder sister tried to reason with her, but the bitterness in the younger ones heart transformed her into a mare of darkness, Nightmare Moon. She vowed that she would shroud the land into eternal night. Reluctantly, the elder sister harnessed the most powerful magic known to ponies, The Elements of Harmony. Using the magic of the elements, she defeated her younger sister and banished her to the moon.
This wasn't enough though, Nightmare Moon was able to escape a thousand years later during the Summer Sun Celebration and seal away Princess Celestia in the sun as she did to Luna. But thanks to Twilight Sparkle and her friends, they united the elements and banished the dark forces that had taken over the former princess of the night. Celestia and Luna were reunited and ruled together in harmony over Equestria once more.
What no one knew though was that the force that transformed Princess Luna wasn't the Nightmare Forces. It was something much more dark and sinister. This force is known as " Red Mist", also known as Corruption Gas, Hell's Air, Suicide Fog, Nightmare Mist, Red Death, ect. This mist, though most of the time not deadly, can cause whoever breaths it in to become homicidal and/or suicidal maniacs. It can also induce hallucinations, sickness, nightmares, loss of sanity, ect. The mist is as well responsible for the ' Lost Episode' creepypastas and emits strange noises whenever it appears on video along with invoking death. Squidward's Suicide and Sucide being the most well known.
Red Mist usually takes over a being of high power like Princess Luna or a well-known character . When the Mist sensed Luna's jealously it took over her thus turning her into Nightmare Moon , but when the Elements of Harmony beat her the Red Mist was forced out of her. The Mist has only one weakness though, the lost Elements of Imagination. These Elements were created long ago when the Red Mist was at its strongest, when it was able to corrupt entire cities at a time. The beings who created the elements were Aqua Regina-sama, A Time Lord, Sponge Bob and Lord Zalgo. Aqua Regina-sama created the Element of Creativity, she did this by pouring out all her heart as she sang a song and made up the lyrics as she sang the melody. This song was later known as Legend of the Mermaid. Because creativity is what helps us in a pinch. The next element, The Element of Dream, was created by a Time Lord. He had taken the essences of a certain person's dream and mixed it within the element using a sonic screwdriver. Because all life is born from a dream. The Element of Insanity, was created by, you guessed it, Lord Zalgo. Who had collected the insanity of those who were withering away. Because a bit of insanity makes things a little more fun. Last, but not least we have the Element of Randomness. All the sea sponge needed to do was be himself and the element was created. The Elements were then used by their creators to defeat the Mist, the Mist did not entirely disappear. It stayed hidden while it regained power. As this happened something strange happened to the elements, after about three days of their existence they just vanished before their creator's eyes without a trace. Kind of like the Red Alice if you think about it, If it weren't for the trail of blood she left behind no one would think that she ever existed.
Now that this is out of the way, its time for our story to begin.
