A new order

-AN: Welp, I am back to writing. I know I haven't written anything for a while since I got lazy. But now that summer is here I am writing this story followed by another one. Don't worry the Equestrian Civil war will get a chapter written someday, that I promise. Now, before this story begins I need to introduce you to my OC's for this one:

The Empress of Evil (a simple name, some might call cliche but I like how it sounds): She is an alicorn(can shapeshift but uses this form since it shows power and royal status) and as her title implies she is an empress rather then princess like Celestia or Luna. Like Discord she is an incarnation but not of chaos, yeah you guessed it, she is Evil incarnate. The Empress title is more to fuel her ego the size of her land. She ruled with an iron hoof around 3000 years ago when the well known hero Gusty the Great aided by warriors of other creatures and races banished her to Limbo like how the Pony of Shadows was banished 1000 years ago by the Pillars so the current generations forgot about her. Her powers will be explored later in the story since she has many abilities, too much to write about now.

Umbra (The oldest daughter of The empress. Inspiration-King Sombra). Umbra is the first born of the Empress, her species can be described as a dark unicorn unlike her mother who mostly keeps to her alicorn body. She is the Queen of Darkness, a title given by the empress. Her main power is the dark magic of her element. Umbra worked as an advisor/general to the Empress and helped keep order in the world she ruled. She was later thrown in the shadow prison after her mother's banishment as a criminal who aided in the Empress' world domination of the other races, creatures and tribes.

Tyris (The second oldest daughter of the Empress. Inspiration-Lord Tirek). The earth pony of wrath is the second born of the Empress. She unlike her elder sisters is more prone to anger as her element is wrath. Her title given by the Empress was the Lady of Wrath. Her main feature is immense physical strength and resistance. A feat was shown when she ripped the head of a dragon who dared defy her mother's absolute rule. Tyris worked as more of an executioner to her mother and her crown gave her the ability to drain the strength of other earth ponies and yacks to grow in size and musculature. She was thrown in Tartarus for her crimes of executions in cold blood.

Eris (The final and youngest daughter of the Empress. Inspiration-Discord). I know Eris is a character in the Mlp comics 'Nightmare Knights' but I can't find a more synonym name for her. As the youngest daughter she came out different then her sisters, Eris is the most chaotic pegasus as her title is The Lady of Chaos as is her Element. Eris has no real purpose as to lighten up the mood in the usual dark and sadistic castles her family lives in, oh yeah and to cause chaos. Her power comes from her crown that The Empress gifted her. Eris is quite the lazy type often seen napping on clouds or making clouds into cheese to eat and then nap. She served no real duty to her mother other than being a jester. She was also banished with Tyris to Tartarus in case she ever tried to free her mother or sisters.

Phew. Welp, those are the main antagonists to this story. And now to clarify some other questions that you might have along the way.

-For one, all the daughters of the Empress are immortal of age. They can and have been physically harmed before so that is a way to kill them but they won't die of old age. The Empress of Evil herself as an incarnation can never truly die. Gusty the Great was just able to destroy her physical body and banish it while the concept of evil is still around affecting the world.

-As you can mainly guess, Umbra, Tyris and Eris are just feminine versions of Sombra, Tirek and Discord but I made them all ponies and their powers are very nerfed. As I said above, Tyris and Eris get their magical power through crowns. Tyris can only drain magic from earth ponies and yacks since those races have the most physical power and she can't grow more then the size of someone like Celestia so she is a nerfed Tirek. Eris is the same, she has a limited amount of chaos magic in her crown, so she can do small reality changing stuff like Discord but not on the same volume and that quickly tires her out. Umbra is the only one with magic born in her as she is a unicorn. She can use dark magic including being able to turn into a shadow for quick movement and small mind control but not on an Empire level like Sombra, so Umbra is a nerfed Sombra. I did this nerf thing to the daughters because let's face it, if I just copy pasted the powers of Sombra, Discord and Tirek and changed their names, this story is pointless, plus they have The literal Incarnation of evil as a mother. So my nerfed Trio of Umbra, Tyris and Eris have the combined power around the same as let's say Princess Cadance, not too strong like Celestia but also not as weak as a young Twilight in the great picture of power in Equestria.

-Another thing is titles, you might ask why only Umbra is a queen while her sisters only have Lady titles. Part of it is age, Umbra is the oldest sister and has proved a reliable servant to the Empress so she got rewarded a Queen title while Tyris is stuck as the Lady of Wrath and Eris the Lady of Chaos (also since those are mostly female versions of Tirek and Discord I just changed their titles of Lords into Ladies)

These are the characters that will be in my story 'The New Order'. A story that will explore the past and present and decide the future of not just ponykind in Equestria but also the world! So pack your bags because the story begins.

Trifosu out, AN end here-

Chapter 1 'Chains and Whips'

Around 3000 years ago…

In the hot blazing sun of the Summer the fields of wheat are as unpleasant to work on as ever. A yellow young earth pony mare who has her hooves chained and attached to the collar around her neck works on the field as any other day she has known all her life. She dares not look up from the dirt as the Empress' guards patrol the field to make sure all work as told. Those guards are something the pony has never seen before, minotaur like creatures but they are only bone and to those skeletal frames armor is welded like a walking hunk of armor and bone. The young pegasus made the mistake of barely glancing up at her mane and she suddenly felt a whip strike her rump so hard that it rips flesh and crunches some of her leg bones. She falls on her knees crying in pain as the guard who whipped her marches in front of her and grabs her collar to lift her at eye level. The empty eye sockets of his skull glare into her teary eyes and his jaws move as he speaks in a ghost-like voice but with the depth of a yack.

'Did someone tell you to look up, slave?' asks the Minotaur skeleton as he raises the whip again and hits her over the face with it. The pegasus cries louder and speaks in a shaking voice full of pain and fear

'N-no…Sir..no one did…I-I am sorry…I will keep working for the Empress…Please…' weeps she and the soldier puts her down and slaps her with his boney head over the head 'Stop wasting water on the tears, The Empress only needs your hooves to work. And because of your insolence maybe a day without water and food will teach you better' and with that he leaves to check on the other 'workers'. She sights and picks up her hoe before going back to working the ground. Not even her bleeding rump and eye is something new. This is just another day in the life of a pony who got conquered by the Empress. A day of no food and water is a holiday compared to other punishments enforced by the skeletons. The pegasus with no name wipes her tears, she was born in this after all, her mother the same and her grandmother the same, all born in chains to serve their Empress. Her predecessors were forced to breed more workers for the cause of their eternal mistress. She too will be a mother soon and her foals' foals will also work for the Empress, unnamed ponies only ever called 'Slave' born to work and dying when their masters want to. The field is filled with earth ponies to the brim and the skeletons patrol them 24/7 and occasionally a whipping sound is the motivation to work harder and faster.

-End of the Chapter 1-

AN: This first chapter was a rather short one, it was mostly done so you can meet my OC's for this story and a small description of the world during the Empress' rule. In the next chapter we will meet the Empress and her daughters but for now, you were my reader, I was the writer, have a good day. Trifosu out-
