We glanced at our friends bodies usually we'd be able to still sense their mag...ic... He didn't, did he...? Our merge strained as I froze from shock. Seeing his sword swing to me in slow motion. I couldn't feel Z anymore... Z, my friend since childhood... To say I was enraged would be an understatement. As my hand glowed with blue fire I grabbed his blade mid swing, fear in his my body burst into blue flames, my skin peeling off. I would be lying if I said it hurt. My face peeled off revealing a wolf muzzle.

My arms burned off to reveal dry hide and sharp points at the end. My torso burned off revealing dry hide stretched over ribs until my legs. My legs burned off to reveal hide over thin bones. Crow feet covered in the same dry hide to the sharp tips. I regarded the meal in front of me with amusement, he seemed smart, fast, and strong. Worthy prey in my eyes. I run on all four of my limbs and stab him in the stomach with my left arm, put my right next to my left and rip him in half spraying blood and gore all over the room. I lick the blood off my muzzle and sniff in the air. Dead meat, probably shouldn't have scattered my prey otherwise I would have had a warm meal. I shrug my shoulders and go into a feeding frenzy on the bodies littering the room on blood.

A day after Tirek

To say I was shocked would be a horrible understatement as I woke up on a rock… sticking out of a waterfall. Looking up at the sky, it was more… vibrant almost as if. No not almost, it is like there's no environmental damage. Going to scratch an itch on my arm I felt a familiar pain of being cut open. Looking down I could only see was the hybrid of a hand and a claw. I was strangely not worried about this as I tried getting up only to fall back down, Almost like my body was new. As I reached out to levitate a stick to prop myself up on, it felt… easier, more natural, like it was part of my being. The stick floated over in a…black aura… matter manipulation doesn't do that… And in hindsight it probably isn't good to not pay attention to your surroundings in someplace new.

I learned that when a log almost took my head off disappearing in the mist. Propping myself up with the stick only now realizing the numb feeling on my back. I turned my head to see the sight of midnight black wings. Looking up at the top of the waterfall I felt strangely like I had to warn somepony abou- did I just think somepony? Anyways I feel like I have to warn somebody about something. Spreading my midnight wings I flapped once going half the way up the waterfall. These wings were powerful almost like they were made for hunting. Flying until I reached I saw something that truly confused me. It was the same castle in my little pony but that's impossible. That same sense was directing me towards Canterlot so I obeyed

30 minutes later, Canterlot throne room

She was tired after just an hour of sitting in here throne dealing with ponies tiny troubles. Complaining here about the incident involving Tirek. Many were from the rich ponies who were mad about Canterlot being too 'insecure'. She was wishing for somepony to drive a spear through her when the sound of wings alerted the guards in the room. With everyone looking around none chose to look at the top of Celestias throne where what only could be described as an elf-like-if they existed that is-being sitting on top of her throne like he was sitting there all day.

"hey." The creature spoke getting the guards to point their spears at him before it continues "is that really how you treat a guest? I thought you were better than this Celestia."

Before she could respond a guard spoke up "if you seek an audience… whoever you are you will have to wait like all the other cases."

"Oh come on doesn't a special guest gain special privileges?" the creature said in its alluring voice that if Celestia were of any lower mind she would have succumbed. Sadly the guards weren't the same.

"Well… I guess, ok"

"Great!" it said clapping its hands together "now." looking down at her from atop her throne it said "I'm not here to eat any of you- though you should dial down on the cake I'm almost tempted Celestia- I've come here to deliver a message."

And in a voice that could rival a siren he sang

"What can I say?"

"You'll lose yourself in the fray."

"Confusing pathways."

"Is discord always."

"Trust those who you can see."

"For those in the darkness jump with glee."

"For our time is now."

"So take a bow."

"For the conflicts shall arise once more"

She took a moment to ponder this but when she looked back the creature was gone.

Tallest spire of Canterlot

Something huge is coming, I can feel it. Perhaps it's like how scavengers know when a battle is coming soon. What I do know is that I have to find the others. Don't ask me how I know where they are, I just do.

For those hiding in the shadows, we are the cursed.

And this is the start of cursed: elements of conflict season 1

I don't really know if there will be a season 2 I'm just doing this incase

No they are not the elements like the elements of harmony their major cursed(go down below for definition)

this is an alternate dimension if magic was real in the human world

Cursed: those who have forsaken some of their harmony in return for hunter like attributes. Alluring voice, sharp claw like appendages, wings, and the ability to use magic no matter the race are traits of major cursed while lesser cursed gain only some like, gained reflexes, predator like attributes, etc. Also completely remodels the person for they take on a new name and personality.

Believed to be hunted to extinction after the nightmare moon incident turning her into a lesser cursed. All known reports of cursed have either been destroyed or lost, thus the peaceful Equestria has never seen one.

For those who are wondering Zemez-main character also the element of void- looks like he's about 6'3

With claw like hands and an elf in appearance. His voice lures those weaker willed to be lured, dragon like slits for eyes and midnight black wings sprouting from his back. He's wearing a cobalt blue shirt and pants with white hair. He has all the abilities of an alicorn except supernatural strength and alicorn magic

for those who are new to my stories, I will update as soon as I can though school is my main inspiration and I've gotten a 2 week break while having an upside down sleep schedule... maybe I'm a vampire or some other creature of the night... please don't tell Luna! *hides inside a conveniently placed barrel*
