AN: How many of you Nights Shade readers are mad at me? HAHAHA! I don't care! Let the AU BEGIN!

Prologue

Long ago, before the land of Equestria was born. There was a golden Alicorn mare, who watched over the cold and empty space that surrounded her. Soon the golden mare grew lonely and curious. What if there were other living beings…like me? She thought in her moment of curiosity. Birthed through her one single thought was a land flooded in green and blue and the dwellers that resided on it. With her new discovery of life, she knew…that there had to be an opposite for it in order for there to be balance.

With the golden mare's deeper thinking on an opposite of life, she unknowingly created and birthed it in the form of a silver colored mare with crimson red hair and gold eyes. This mare would grow to be the essence of death, with her mother being the essence of life.

As years passed, the golden mare and her daughter blessed there world with three other beings similar to them. Two of whom, born from the sun and moon, were related by blood. And another who was born from nothing but pure darkness that was the abyss. The three beings would soon divide the land into four parts. Each piece of the land would be there's and only there's, to do with as they pleased. The three rulers would meet once every year to discuss the matters of their pieces of land and the untraveled fourth piece. Out of the three's curiosity they traveled to the fourth piece, only to discover nothing but a golden feather and an image of their two lovely goddesses, who looked very similar to themselves as apparent to their horn and wings. When the three tried to learn more about the feather that was left behind with the image, it had disintegrated into a black smoke and reformed into four bracelets. Both the ruler of the sun and moon stayed away from the bracelets, sensing a dark energy behind them. But the last ruler did not. He took these creations as a sign from one of the two goddesses and retreated back to his land, leaving the other two rulers stunned and disappointed.

Once all three had retreated back to their own lands, the fourth land birthed its own ruler, but before anyone could discover who this ruler was, it disappeared, leaving nothing but a golden feather once more. And behind this feather was a power unlike any other. Each of the three rulers, no matter how far they were, could sense the power. But no matter how hard either of them tried though, they were never able to find it. It was lost to them, inside the barrier of the fourth piece of land. Somehow though, each ruler knew if one of them or anyone were able to find the golden feather, it would grant the user anything with its seemingly endless power.

Three Kingdoms: Celestial, Crescent, and Iron Flame. Three rulers: Celestia, Luna, and Deceit. A fourth ruler and Kingdom who defies each of the three's attempts to find it and them.

And one limitless power that has yet to be discovered…
