(NOT A WORLD OF WARCRAFT CROSSOVER)

**Prequel to "The Tragedy of Laurana, and Grogar" and the My Little Pony Season 9 Redux series trilogy**

A topic I honestly feel I may have actually been dumb to neglect, but it IS important. It's part of the lore of the universe of my MLP Trilogy series, the Harmoniaverse. More specifically, behind the existence of the Eldritch Gods, and Devils who existed long before Equestria. 'Existed' being a main term, because Grogar and Laurana are supposedly the last of their kind. As entities that are deeply connected to the elements and aspects they embody, they cannot simply die. And there's a chance both races were reborn, and now exist in seperate planes of reality far away from each other. This is to explain the finer details of these forces of Harmony, and Anarchy.

Listen as I bring forth the history of The Bahamut, and The Djinn.

The Melody of Love, Hate, and Tragedy

When one thinks of Love, and Hate, all anyone can ever think of is of the two being polar opposites. Two opposites at constant war with one another. In the same way as Light, and Darkness, Good, and Evil wage an eternal struggle for dominance in all of existence. And with no room in between to tell the difference between either.

But Love, and Hate are far more intertwined than any can imagine.

For it was the love of two omnipotent entities known as The Baphomet, or Elder Gods, who ironically embodied Light, and Darkness that gave life to the world of Equestria. A love that they had shaped, and formed after fate brought them to a mysterious world where they learned more about their reality than they ever could have imagined. And together, while given sanctuary of this celestial domain that reigns over space, and time, the two seek to strengthen, and grow themselves to better be prepared to face any threat to the Balance of Creation they are sworn to protect.

And through time, effort, and even tribulation they become true Bahamut of Creation, Life and Light, and Destruction, Death and Darkness to maintain the balance of existence. For neither Bahamuts, nor the Aspects they embody can exist without the other. And now, they have the strength to work together, and protect each other as they also protect the universe. Bound by the strongest of loves the two had forged in their time of training, it was believed that nothing could ever break apart the bonds of Harmony that were shared by living embodiments of the central aspects of creation.

But even Love inevitably falls.

And circumstances cause it to decay, and rot until only hate remains.

This is how it all happened. How these universal lovers story not only came to pass: but also shaped the world of Equestria into what it is now. A world born out of love, until the mistakes of mortals incurred the hatred that ended three generations of Equestrian life. And how the Fourth Generation lead to tragedy when the lovers became mortal enemies who war for the fate of this new stage of life.

The Tragedy of how Love dies, Hate begets more hatred in the form of curses and calamity, and ends in the eternal entrapment of Light, and Darkness.

Attend the tale that is The Tragedy of Laurana, and Grogar

**SPOILERS FOR SEASON 9**

**MORE SPECIFICALLY, THIS IS SEASON 9**

(Sequel to "The Price of Freedom Mk. 2")

Based on The Legend of Spyro Trilogy, and The Lord of The Rings (somewhat)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Equestria has now reached its longest period of Harmony in over a thousand years. All thanks to Prince Dusk Shine and his friends, who have proven time and again that together, they are true guardians of their world. However, a shift in the Balance has been sensed, and a time of testing is upon Equestria. Great change is on the horizon, and thus the Sisters of the Sun and Moon have sensed their time has reached its end.

The time has come for a new ruler to lay claim to the throne of Equestria, and none could be considered more fitting than Dusk Shine himself.

All save for the Alicorn prince, who has been having recent doubts on his ability to truly lead. Twice he has allowed himself to be used by nefarious forces, and twice have others needed to save their world in his place. Could this be a sign of the changes to come? That not only are the Princesses passing on their mantle to a new generation.....but the alicorn prince, and his friends are set to be succeeded by a new generation of heroes to wield the Elements of Harmony? Noone knows for certain. But the wheels of fate are turning, and none can escape it.

Especially not now, when evil has begun to stir in the hidden corners of the world. A fallen emperor from ages past who ruled the ancient world through fear, and anarchy has gathered the Dark Forces of Equestria to unite under one banner, and annihilate their shared enemies. But for many, such a thing is not so simple when this conglomerate of villainy consists of tyrants, conquerors, megalomaniacs, and servants of Darkness. Even so, one among their number has grander plans of his own.

And it is how Lord Tirek knows this "Grogar" is not who he seems.

So it is that the dark centaur makes preparations of his own. To set into motion a plan centuries in the making by a force of greater evil, festering in the heart of Equestria. A dark being who existence may spell doom for all of Equus' children. Under the nose of the deceitful ram, and with his powers of Darkness growing, Tirek will set forth to gather all evil to him. And in time, he will summon an army of darkness great enough to overthrow the tyranny of light. And this being who claims to be Grogar will prove to be instrumental in seeing the dark designs of Lord Tirek until the time comes to remove him from the board entirely.

A great Legion of Doom will rise.

War will cover the lands in fear, and terror.

And unlikely allies will emerge to aid Prince Dusk Shine, and his friends as they face the greatest challenge of their life.

In the rising tide of evil, the time has come to prove, once and for all, that Friendship is Magic.

And nothing will ever be the same again.
