1. Chapter 1

Hello My Fellow Bronies!

With due respects to the story Canterlot Wedding Aftermath, which sadly according to Lugitorix will not be finished for quite some time. I have formally been asked to- with abilities to ask amongst the fanbase for assistance- create a story that narrates the main antagonist's childhood. Umekile Scythe, or by what the story dubs him; Dark Sovereign.

He told me to whip out whatever I could, and in any way I wished so long as it met his taste. What he has told me, and from what I can understand once I read his Fanfic; Umekile is actually older than Celestia, which the term "Childhood" gives me the chance to do a story that takes place when Celestia, and even Luna were young foals ^^ so exciting.

Also, this story also gives credit to the British TV show; The Adventures of Merlin, as I will be making some respective references to the show during the course of the story. I will also label chapters in the method of Seasons, and Episodes.

So basically ONE fully story is a Season, and composed of thirteen episodes, which gives me the option of 3-4 parts per episode. Thirteen times Four is either; Thirty-Nine too Fifty Two chapters... much to do. Haha. I don't really mind the heavy work-load. Just remember; It may take a very long time. However every chapter might be quite short, I'm thinking 3-6 Thousand at a time. Most definitely between 3-4 Thousand.

I guess this Chapter on it's own, or at least whats left of it will be a trailer of some sort. Or perhaps a Prologue. I invite anyone with a smashing Idea or two, to put aside a little of their time, and offer me episode ideas, or conflicts(Not of a Main Antagonist's sort) To give me OC's I could perhaps introduce into the story, or even a Filler-Quest idea if I myself cannot come up with a good episode plot.

I also do holiday episodes if likely, like perhaps Valentines day ;) But we shall all see.

As a side note, if no one minds, Celestia, and Luna will have parents. Seeing as it would be very odd for me to portray them as the abrupt rulers created out of nowhere with a cold, cruel just-poofed into existance kinda of life.

All in due time my friends.

If you DO have an OC, or a Quest Idea, leave said objectives in the review section! But don't forget to compliment, or critique this story, as well as maybe look back on Lugitorix's webpage. As he himself has personally told me, he will be absent for a very long time :( And he apologizes.

OC Requirments.

-Standard background, can be a little flashy, no princesses unless I myself announce this is welcomed(MANY varieties to pick and choose)

-No Kings or Queens unless I announce this is welcomed.

-Background characters are welcomed at anytime, and may even be featured as "Troublemakers" in certain episodes.

-Be respectful, and do not complain If I do not accept a certain OC, I have my limits, and my expectations, and I think you all can be mature enough to offer me an acceptable Character.

-No major antagonists, but I do welcome assistance to Major antagonists. Nothing that will severely impact the storyline. Moreover, it would be much more acceptable if you could come up with a character that has the ability to make trouble within the boundaries of ONE episode.

-These rules are subject to change.

Quest/Episode Requirments:

-Take up the boundary time limit of ONE episode

-CAN take place within Canterlot, as well as OUTSIDE the city.

-Does not always have to be a conflict agaisnt an opposing force, it can be emotion, or espionage, interesting, or just a comedic filler. I enjoy fun episodes, as much as I enjoy excitement, and some violence(PLEASE... this is Ponies, nothing overexcentric, but we do not have to be innocent... Death is a mild possibility.)

-These Rules are subject to change, and I welcome all ideas, however do not be upset if I refuse one, or alter it a little to suit the taste of the story.
