Ch. 1 – Shadow Change Tells the Story of Black Crescent

"Hello, I'm Shadow Change. Most of you have asked about how Black broke free from the seal, and why he didn't die from all that Mayor Silver did to him. Well, I'll tell you about how the girls beat him, and about how there's a different side to the story where his darkness won. Before that, let me tell you about he came to be. Star Art lost her husband in a terrible war. She stopped doing what she loved, and every night, she cried on top of a hill. Her body was getting skinny, for she didn't eat due to her broken heart. That's why I chose to grant a wish for her," Shadow Change said in monotone.

"I gave her a choice. I could return her lost beloved, or give her a child to raise. She told me that it wouldn't be right if she brought him back from the dead and that he should rest in peace, so she chose the child, and with that, I gave her Black Crescent. At first, she was confused, I told her that this that this child was a being of fear, and with her help, she could show him the beauty of the world, and with that help, he could use the power that he gained from fear to help others. That's why he didn't die. Mayor Silver tortured him due to his fear of the child, which gave Black power, and that power in return kept him alive throughout the years," Shadow Change said sadly.

"Now, then, as to how he got free, that was the same pony who sealed him, and this is where the story starts off," Shadow Change said in monotone.

In the Everfree Forest was dark, and Chrysalis stood there with a puzzled expression on her face, seeing that Black Crescent was a colt again. "I've been freed from the moon at last. So, why have you freed me, Chrysalis?" Black Crescent asked curiously.

"I freed you because you were right about the ponies. They can never be our friends, but why are you a colt?" Chrysalis asked curiously.

"My power has not returned to me yet. It should be here soon, though," Black Crescent responded in monotone. A black, smokey figure appeared soon after. "That took you a while, Shadow Nightmare. Let's combine so that I can be in my true form," Black Crescent said impatiently. The smoke entered his body, his colt like appearance turning into his stallion form. "Now, then, as for you," Black Crescent said angrily. He grabbed Chrysalis by the throat with his hooves. His horn glowed black and he let go. Chrysalis breathed hard, getting much-needed air. "I'm letting you live because you are an old friend, but as punishment for sealing me away, I took away your gift of using love as a source of power," Black Crescent said in monotone.

Now, then, to deal with the Elements of Harmony, and once they're gone, I can once again bring fear to this world. Should I go for them one at a time, or finish them all off in one place? It'll take too long if I attack them one at a time. Ending them in one place will be faster, Black Crescent thought confidently.

Until next time. Please review or PM.
