Authors notes: Sorry about updating with the prologue after the first chapter. I hope that everyone who reads this will get past the first few chapters as they are ment to build up the world that our protagonist Spero is in. Also if I havn't said it already said this, thanks to Ironlegion715 for allowing me to use his character Strenuss.

Once upon a time, over two hundred years ago, The old kingdom of Equestria shined brightly as the beacon of peace, love, and friendship. The Earth, pegasus, and unicorn ponies lived side by side as equals ruled only by the Alicorns of day, night, love and friendship. The relatively new rule of the princess of friendship, Twilight Sparkle, was punctuated by moments of conflict where only the magic of friendship could prevail in restoring harmony. The time of the reign of the great princesses was a harmonious one.

How ever, Peace would not last as the seeds of evil would sprout destruction and chaos. Night Shade, pupil to Princess Twilight sparkle, was entrusted with preserving the newly established traditions of Friendship. Through his studies in the Crystal empire, he had learned of the misfortunes of the crystal empire under the reign of King sombra. By uncovering the secrets of his dark power, Night Shade forged a dark army, in the caves underneath canterlot. He was also able to force Key officers in the EUP to serve him with his dark magic. One Fateful day during the 20th summer sun celebration since Twilight's coronation, when all who were dear to the princesses were present, Night shade unleashed his minion army upon Canterlot. All except for a few would be slaine.

Princess Twilight was well blessed with having her own royal family. She had a husband and infant son, who were both with her during the Coup'. She was only survived by her son. With her dying breath she Charged her head advisor, Sir Spike, with the infant's protection and safe guard. However, The Foul was ripped from his grasp during his escape and was brought to Nightshade. Spike would never recover from this shame and went into hiding.

With the last of the EUP at her side, Princess Luna was able to take back canterlot palace and began pressing the dark armies out of her kingdom, Yet despite how hard she tried, she could not save her sister. Princess Celesta was captured and stolen away.

Night Shade took his army With the Princess and Twilight's only son to a dark castle hidden far in the mountains. He continued his campaign of conquest well into the later part of that decade. In his wake he left entire towns ravaged and raised. Equestria splintered as Chaos took hold and the once peaceful nation died. In it's place a new empire arose with Night Shade as It's ruler.
