Chapter 1: The forgotten story of Dark Harbinger
This is the story of the long forgotten prince of Equestria, born of an unholy union between Death himself and a great cosmic being whom was the mother of Celestia and Luna as well. The young prince was brought into the world without the slightest warning, one afternoon he just appeared in a flash, curled up in a crib made of bones inside the room of his sister Luna while she was sleeping during the day. She was quite startled for obvious reasons, but all it took was a light yawn and an innocent little smile from him to make her feel at ease. Luna carefully trotted up to the crib, she saw two words inscribed on the bone that made up the head of his crib, it said Dark Harbinger, and just like that the young prince had his name.
Luna took it upon herself to raise her new found little brother, but as usual things did not go smoothly for her at all. At a very young age he became well known for his sadistic nature and for his extreme and excessive love of Dark Magic, especially when it dealt with Necromancy based spells. Luna didn't know it yet, but her brother was destined to turn against her and her sister. As expected Dark Harbinger became a powerful alicorn in very little time, after all, he was related to Celestia and Luna. He stood out wherever he went, mostly because of his spiky red mane and black and white coat, as well as his eyes which were yellow with black slits like the eyes of a snake, and had a set of bat like wings.
For 18 years he was raised by his loving sisters who did what they could to keep him from breaking the peace of early Equestria, but no matter what they did he continued to become more sadistic and more consumed in his studies of dark magic. He became the one to do the things his sisters could never bring themselves to do such as executing dangerous ponies or fighting a war to protect his homeland. 2500 years ago Dark Harbinger finally became consumed by his sadistic side and his love of dark magic. He began a grand war to attempt to overthrow the rule of his two powerful sisters. He needed an army, and he knew exactly how to get one. He completely defiled the graves of the deceased to raise a powerful army of the undead, with which he used to lay siege to Equestria for over 100 years, never stopping his slow but steady advance to his sisters castle located deep within Everfree forest.
During all of those seemingly never ending years he became even more consumed by the evil within himself. After all that time he finally stood outside the very walls of the castle where his sisters were behind, the only thing standing in his way was a thick stone wall and a powerful protection spell, clearly made by his sister Luna due to its silvery sheen. Summoning all of his dark magic into his horn with a dark purple glow, he cast the most powerful shield breaker spell he knew, and to his great and twisted glee the barrier around the castle cracked and then exploded outward like a collapsing glass dome. Unknown to Dark Harbinger however, things were about to go very wrong for him, as he began preparing to storm into the castle with his undead army a great wave of magic that looked to be a moving ocean of pure rainbow washed over him and his army, the effects of the strange and powerful magic became apparent to him in an instant, he watched as each and every one of his undead soldiers collapsed into neat little piles of bones and dust. His rage at what happened to his army was indescribable, his entire army was gone in one fell swoop as if they were nothing, leaving him alone and too close for comfort to his sisters' castle. Harbinger realized the danger he was in without an army to back him up and prepared to flee using a teleportation spell.
Sadly for him he never got the chance, at the very second he began channeling his magic into his horn he sensed that accursed form of powerful and pure magic, the same kind as before that wiped out his army, but infinitely more potent, and to make things even worse he could see that it was coming right at him. Realizing he would not be able to get away in time he cast one last spell, a spell designed to project a portion of himself and his magic into any object, at the last second he managed to aim it at a simple rock in the ground. The second he finished transferring a tiny portion of his being into the stone the magic from before slammed into him, he could feel it pouring over him and seeping into his body, he didn't understand why or how this was happening?
His hooves were turning to stone and so was the rest of his body, in mere moments all but his head was encased in stone. In the last few moments, just before his head was fully encased, he saw the source of the unbelievably powerful and pure magic, 6 strange and colorful amulets in the possession of his sisters, floating around them gracefully in a circular motion, he glared as venomously as he could at them, a nasty snarl on his face as the stone finally encased the last parts of his body. He was destined to stay in this horrid state for the next 2400 years until the day the simple stone was put before him, granting him the power to escape. And to think that day was going so well for a certain purple unicorn...
(A/N: I am sorry, but I just had to have the first chapter end in a cliffhanger. On another note I will try to update this story at least twice a week.)
