Introduction

Starry skies, calm winds, pleasant temperature; this kind of weather always made the Ponies of Equestria happy.

Another bright Spring day had passed and now the Princess of the Night once again began her watchful care of her slumbering subjects.

As far as she could see, dreams were sweet all across the the Dreamscape.

Life in Equestria and its surrounding lands has been peaceful for two years since the heroic and famous Elements of Harmony defeated the evil Tirek who had returned from Tartarus wielding terrible magic.

The Seven Elements of Harmony: The gentle Fluttershy of Kindness, the always cheerful Pinkamena Diane Pie, known as Pinkie Pie to all her friends, of Laughter, the sophisticated and beautiful Rarity of Generosity, the hardworking and friendly Applejack of Honesty, the fun loving daredevil Rainbow Dash of Loyalty, the Resourceful, Organized, Educated Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle of Magic, and the Intellectual, Noble and Powerful Stallion Dusk Noir of Unity.

The seven of them had been through many hardships and dangers. Throughout it all, their friendship had been tested as well as challenged by many things yet they always proved to be inseparable.

Many things have changed since their defeat of Tirek. A few of them now had loving soul mates. Rarity was in a close relationship with Spike the Dragon who was now a strong and handsome Noble Dragon in his late teens. The appearance of a Noble Dragon was a very rare occurrence. Spike would finish growing after just a few more years. Pinkie Pie was in a slowly but steadily growing relationship with another party loving pony named Cheese Sandwich whom she usually met with on occasion. Cheese Sandwich usually travelled across Equestria spreading his own party joy. Even Princesses Celestia and Luna had their own relationships. Luna was very close with a reformed and redeemed King Sombra while Celestia was with an also reformed and redeemed Brave Heart. Dusk Noir had rescued King Sombra from his darker self, freeing him from the corruptive shadows. Sometime later Brave Heart had been rescued from his darker self who was known as Fallen Soul, a dark and powerful stallion known from old pony tales who turned out to be real. The immoral mad scientist Doctor Test Tube had used his magic technology to free Fallen Soul from Tartarus. Dusk and Twilight are now married and have been for six months now. They got married one year and six months after defeating Tirek. Dusk had finally proposed one year after the victory celebration. By that time, the friends had spread their Magic of Friendship all across Equestria. This allowed them to settle down and relax after such a long time. Dusk has since been the Prince of Unity. This occurred officially once he'd completed his magical training lessons with the Princess of the Night herself, Princess Luna. Dusk had been granted the wings of an alicorn just as Twilight had once she'd completed her lessons with the Princess of the Day, Princess Celestia, the elder sister of Luna. Princess Luna had consulted her older sister regarding the decision and they both deemed Dusk ready and worthy after Defeating Tirek. This made Dusk Noir the first Stallion in Equestrian History to be granted wings and become an Alicorn through proper means. The evil Fallen Soul had become an alicorn through the work of Doctor Test Tube's unnatural and grotesque methods.

Currently, all seven of the Element Bearers have used their talents to spread friendship all across Equestria where it was needed using the map revealed inside Twilight's Castle in Ponyville.

Lately, life has been mostly casual for each of them. Nothing exciting had happened since Dusk's and Twilight's wedding. Equestria has likely never seen a more exciting event ever since that party.

However, as with the common cycle of life, something new would soon happen. Something not even the Royal Pony Sisters could predict.

One thing was for certain, this new revelation will bring more excitement than everypony had ever known before.

A/N:

...And that's my beginning of an attempt at a MLP: FIM FanFiction...

Since I ended up becoming interested in the show, I've been uncontrollably brimming with ideas for my own story to utilize my ideas for an original character.

Sorry about this Opening Chapter being so short. Hopefully the next Chapter will remedy that. I'll be using the style of Introduction, Prologue, Chapter 1, 2, 3 and so on.

I want to thank any readers who took some time to give this story a look.

I especially want to thank FanFiction and FimFiction Writer: AlphaTheGriffin17 for giving me permission to use his Original Character: Dusk Noir. Please check out his MLP: FIM series, "The Dusk Saga."

Thanks again everyone!
