Prologue:
The Story Of Shen The White Alicorn
Long ago In Ancient Equestria,
The Crystal Alicorns ruled over the Crystal Kingdom.
They brought great joy and prosperity, for they had invented fireworks. It brought great joy to their subjects to see the beautiful fireworks go off during celebrations.
But their son Prince Shen, the next in line to rule, saw darker power in the fireworks. What had brought color and joy could also bring darkness and destruction.
Shen's troubled parents consulted a Soothsayer.
She foretold that if Shen continued down this dark path he would be defeated by a warrior of day and night.
The young lord set out to change his fate. Reasoning that the combination of day and night was 'Twilight,' he sought out any pony of that name. And what he did next…only sealed it.
Shen returned to his parents full of pride.
But in their faces, he saw only horror…
He was banished from the city forever, but Shen swore revenge. Someday, he will return and all of Equestria will bow at his feet.
In a factory up on the top of a volcanic mountain in Equestria, the pounding sound of metal hammers rang throughout the building, as metal was mixed with magma. The ones doing the hammering were the Timberwolves, who appeared to be working on something.
Returning to his duties, the lead Timberwolf watched as the molten mixture was lifted over a large metal pillar. Yanking the chain connected to the pillar, he watched the golden formula ooze into the pillar, shaping the metallic structure into the weapon his master desired.
But the metal they had used would not be enough to make more. So needing to inform their leader, the lead Timberwolf jumped up to the topmost part of the mountain, bowing to the throne that lay at the top.
"It nears completion, King Shen. But we're running out of metal," He said, informing his king.
The silhouette of his king came forward into view, outlined by the light of the magma, revealing a tall Alicorn Stallion of evil.
"Search the farthest villages! Find more metal! Equestria will be mine," the Alicorn Stallion growled as he gazed up to the land beyond with an evil smile.
