Hello. This is officially the first story I have ever written, so please feel free to criticize it. Also these first few chapters might go a little fast, and that's because I feel like nopony wants to spent hours reading boring backstories. This story is based off of a story on called Friendship is Magic: The Seventh Element by Mr Master B. In fact it was that story that inspired me to write mine, so be sure to check it out! Anyway, I hope you like my story. Please don't give up on it, because it does get better the further you get.

Me from the future: I've come back from between Chapters 19 and 20 to tell you that it really does get better the further you get. Once you reach the later chapters, you'll notice that I have gotten better at details and descriptions. Even if you don't think you'll like this story, at least try to finish through Chapter 15, because Chapters 14 and 15 are the BIGGEST plot twist that I believe has ever been made! Anyway, I just came back to tell you to stick with it because this story's worth it in the end. I hope you all enjoy it, and I'll see y'all on the brighter side of everything!

Okay, listen carefully, because we don't have much time before Nightshade helps bring the end of Equestria and I'm banished forever. Me and my twin sister, Nightshade Falls, are alicorns. You may be wondering, "How did you two come to be alicorns?" Be patient, because we're just getting started. I am Dawnfrost Flitter, and this is my story. A story about Harmony's end, and possibly the end of all of Equestria.

About 40 years ago, our mom, a unicorn named Shadowlily, was sitting at a café in Canterlot reading and enjoying the sunshine as a soft breeze stirred the morning air. Suddenly, a pegasus named Winterbreeze came spiraling out of the sky to crash into Shadowlily's table, sending her book flying.

"Are you okay?" She said, trying not to giggle while she caught her book with her magic.

"I'm quite fine, the amazing pegasus Winterbreeze at your service milady," he said as he stood up and knelt in an exaggerated fashion.

Shadowlily giggled and replied, "So you're a pegasus that's amazing at crashing?"

"Oh, no! This was just a tiny bit of bad luck!" He responded, faking an offended look.

The two ponies continued to talk to each other and eventually became friends. Then, one day they realized that they had a bond stronger than friendship. They were in love. Eventually, they got married and bought a small book shop on a street corner where the worked everyday. One day, they were having a picnic in the park, Shadowlily was listening to Winterbreeze telling her the story of what caused him to crash land into her table.

"I was flying past Canterlot on my way to Manehattan to find a new place to live in the big city," he explained, acting out his story, "then all of a sudden there was this huge gust of wind that blew past and knocked me into an out of control spiral, right into your table."

"But how was there a gust of wind? The air was completely still all day!" Shadowlily exclaimed.

"I know! I don't even know what exactly happened," Winterbreeze replied.

"Well the weather is a pretty unpredictable—YIPE!" Shadowlily abruptly stopped talking as she collapsed to the ground.

"Lily!" Shouted Winterbreeze as he scooped her up with his fore-hooves and flew her to the hospital.

Winterbreeze was impatiently pacing in the waiting room until he could go in to see if Shadowlily was alright, since he had no clue what had happened to her. Just then the doctor came out and told Winterbreeze that he could go and see Shadowlily now. Winterbreeze quickly flew to her room to find her on the bed curled around two bundles of cloth. She looked up as he entered and flew over to give her a hug.

"Are you okay? I was so worried Lily! I thought I was going to lose you," he said as tears started to stream out of his eyes.

"I'm fine Winter, but there's something I want you to do," she replied weakly.

"You know I would do anything for you Lily," he responded in a tone that showed he was on the verge of crying.

"Then come and say hi to your daughters..."

In case you all are wondering, Dawnfrost and Duskfire are the embodiment of Harmony and Chaos. And it was these forces that chose Shadowlily as the mother of the two alicorns. And her collapse was due to the 9 month process being crammed into a hour by the two forces. I'm pretty sure anypony would react the same.

Also, I'm sorry for the cliffhangers, they're kind of my thing. You'll find one at the end of every chapter.

So remember to let me know what you think, and I'll see all you guys in the next chapter!
