Hey guys! I decided to start a side series to go more in depth in the history and background of some of my characters in The Legend of Frostbite. This story will be composed of 100% OC's so don't expect any pairings with the mane six or anything. I will be continuing both series, as i enjoy writing both of them. What i enjoy writing usually depends on my mood, so i have this story to write when i don't feel like writing my other one. I will try and update both of them as quickly as possible. Now, on with the story!

The Legacy of Void

Chapter One

The Beginning

Ten thousand years ago there existed a barren planet. Nothing lived, nothing died. It was simply rock and dirt. The gods looked down upon this and decided this was unacceptable. They began by creating water. They created oceans and streams, rivers and lakes. They added air and an atmosphere. They added plants and covered the world in a blanket of color.

The gods looked down upon their creation. It was beautiful, but not perfect. It was missing something. The god of Life created animals. He populated the world with butterflies, birds, rabbits, foxes, dogs, anything peaceful he could think of. The god of Chaos looked at this and frowned, this would never do. He quickly went to work creating more dangerous creatures, such as manticores, timberwolves, dragons, and anything else he could think of.

They looked down upon their marvelous creation and came to an agreement. There needed to be a sentient species. They put together their power and created the first ponies. There were ten in total. The ponies were much more advanced than their neighboring species, and quickly developed a form of housing, and then a form of tools. Within days the ponies had created the first form of civilization. They had created a small cluster of huts.

As time went on the population of ponies began to grow exponentially. Their small cluster of huts expanded into a small village and then a town. The god of Life observed the daily life of these ponies and decided that there was a way to make their lives easier. He went into the body of developing babies and inserted magic into their bodies. As they developed, a new extremity formed a horn. These babies that were born with horns were called unihorns. As they developed in life, it became apparent that they possessed abilities that no other ponies had. They decided to call these new found abilities Magic. Their name was changed to unicorns, adapting the c sound from magic to replace the h sound. They became very adept with their magic and were considered of great usefulness to the entire community.

Now, the god of Chaos would have none of this. He could not let his fellow god create something so great and not want to try and make something great himself. He began to read the desires of many colts and fillies and found that they were quite envious of birds. They yearned to be able to fly, to touch the sky and run their hooves through the white, puffy clouds that floated above. Chaos became determined to make this dream of theirs a reality. He extracted the soul of a bird and fed it to the soul of a developing baby. Like the unicorn, the baby developed a new extremity, wings. The babies that were born with wings were called bird horses. Over time, they became more advanced in their flying, learning tricks and pushing clouds. One of the most famous of these bird horses was named Pegas. Pegas was considered the most advanced and fastest flyer of their time. The species of pony was renamed to Pegasfly, then changed to Pegasi, and finally to Pegasus, where it remained for thousands of years to come.

This town, with the new addition of unicorns and pegasus, began to flourish. It grew and grew until it could no longer support its population. A group of one hundred ponies split off from the main town and went to go find an area to settle for themselves. This group consisted of forty earth ponies, twenty seven unicorns, and thirty three pegasus. They came across a large mountain and decided to climb it in hopes of finding an area to settle. They climbed for days until they reached a large mesa midway through the mountain. The mountain had constant water cascading down the side due to snow runoff, so they decided to settle their new town here. They created their town and decided to name it Canterlot.

Months after the founding of Canterlot, a new species of pony was born in the original town. This pony had wings and a horn. They decided to call it an Allincorn, which was later adapted to a simpler, Alicorn. Now, the gods hadn't expected this new species to form. The species was incredibly rare, as there was only one in total. The god of Life decided that this new species of pony shall be the ruling class of pony, and that they shall have sacred duties accompanied by it. The god took on the form of an angelic alicorn and made an appearance to the town. He stated that the alicorn shall lead them, and that the alicorn has special duties that they must carry out.

Word of this quickly spread to Canterlot. The inhabitants became irritated that the other town possessed a figure of power, but they did not. Once the inhabitants of Canterlot learned that the alicorn had the ability to raise the sun and moon, they became madly jealous. They began to plead with the gods, wishing to have a leader of their own. The god of Chaos looked at this opportunity and created another alicorn. With this one he bestowed the ability to manipulate time and space.

As time went on, Canterlot developed into a bustling town. The town gained walls, battlements, a castle, farms, everything necessary for the growth of a town. On the other hand, the other town was having difficulty. They had overpopulated their town and could no longer sustain its population. Ponies began to starve and living conditions plummeted. When they turned to Canterlot for help, the leader made a request. They would help with their situation, if they gave over the ability to manipulate the sun and moon. The other town declined this deal, and continued to decline as Canterlot grew and excelled.

After a short time, the inhabitants of the original town grew angry with the ponies of Canterlot. They wanted to wage war against the town of Canterlot and take the help they believed they deserved. They named themselves Valleyside and began the march to Canterlot. The citizens of Canterlot would have none of this, and they sent their top soldiers along with their leader to put down the army. The advancing army was quickly killed, due to the manipulation of space and time. However, the alicorn leader of Canterlot grew greedy, and still wished to have the power of the sun and the moon for himself.

He made his way into the town of Riverside and met with the alicorn who ruled there. The two quickly engaged in a battle, with the alicorn of Canterlot coming out victorious. The alicorn of Valleyside gave his life to seal away his powers and the other alicorns powers. The power of the sun, moon, space, and time, were split apart, and cast into different dimensions, in hope that nopony would ever find them.

The fact that they cast aside the powers they gave them greatly angered the gods. They proceeded to create nine more elements each, scattering them throughout the world. Civilization carried on for many more generations before any of the elements were found. Towns blossomed into cities, and cities into provinces, and provinces into kingdoms. Soon many great kingdoms stood in the world, the largest and oldest being the kingdom of Equestria.

Many more peaceful years passed until Equestria once again found the elements of the Sun and Moon. Equestria gained control over the way day and night proceeded. Things went unchallenged for hundreds of years until another kingdom gained control of some elements. This kingdom was called Darkthorn. The Darkthorn kingdom began to amass large amounts of elements. Equestria viewed this as a threat and began to discover elements of its own. Both sides gathered elements until Equestria had gathered six elements, including the Sun and Moon, and Darkthorn had gathered five. As tension between the two kingdoms grew, so did their armies. Both sides began to create armies lead by the wielder of the elements.

In the town of Shadowsteed in a small home lived a young colt. He had a black coat with a deep purple swirl pattern in it. His eyes were solid black with a purple outline. He was an earth pony, and had night black mane with dark purple highlights. His name was void. His name suited him greatly, considering his abilities. He had the ability to open portals to alternate dimensions, allowing him to bend the reality of objects that entered his portals. He had been recently recruited by the king himself, Leeroy Goldstone. This stallion was not an alicorn, but came to lead the kingdom through power. He had developed a large sum of money, and had a demon that lived within him.

Before he ruled Darkthorn, he had been a regular aristocrat. One day, a demon appeared to him. The demon stated that if he could get him a son, then he would grant Leeroy whatever he desired most. Leeroy paid ponies to kidnap as many mares as it took to give the demon a son. When he finally got what he wanted, Leeroy said that he would like to rule Darkthorn kingdom more than anything else. The demon granted him an army of his most powerful soldiers. Leeroy easily overthrew the throne and asserted himself as leader of Darkthorn.

He had recently decided that all of the elements they currently possessed were to be formed into a small special operations team. Void was there most recent member, and therefore required more training than the other members. Today was his first day of training and Void wasn't sure of anything. He'd heard lots of rumors about the squad. He had heard that they had single hoovedly taken down a pack of dragons. It was ridiculous! And yet, somehow, here he was, getting prepared to take on his duty of being a member of this elite squad. Void braced himself for his first day of training as he entered the towering building…
