   Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria. There was a very magical unicorn that wished to have a piece of the silver river that appears in the sky every night. But as much as she tried she couldn’t catch any of the liquid with her magic.

The unicorn was a good and kind soul and married to a poor woodcarver. She wished to enhance her husband’s works with the silver river’s brilliance.

Not being able to help her husband the unicorn would fall into sadness. On one night she was crying under the stars. This drew the attention of the princess of the night.

“Why do you cry?” The princess asks, “Aren’t you a good and kind soul. Shouldn’t your heart be filled with happiness?”

“Oh, I wish to have a piece of the silver river in the sky,” The unicorn cries, “It will make my husband’s creations most beautiful in the land.”

“My dear why didn’t you just ask me before now?” The princess says to the unicorn, “Someone as just as you deserves a gift for their kindness.”

“Really?” The unicorn sobs.

“Look down,” The princess points at the puddle of tears that formed on the ground below the pony. It had turned into a silver liquid.

“But be warned my little pony,” The princess says in her royal voice. “This liquid hold special powers, choose carefully when and who you use it for.”

The princess disappears as the unicorn finds a bottle to keep the silver sliver of the sky. The liquid turns the bottle silver bestowing it with magic powers.

The night beings without bodies visit the dreams of the woodcarver. They wanted the silver water for themselves and implanted an inception into the ponies mind.

The next morning the woodcarver started cutting four masks. The masks would give the beings without bodies vessels. When he was done a young filly tries one of the masks allowing a bodiless one to take her over. The filly then turns violent on the unicorn and woodcarver.

With her last breath the unicorn enchants the bottle. Only allowing the princess of the night and her servants to touch it. Because of the magical enchantment the evil bodiless beings was unable to touch the bottle. But they knew that the bottle would brake sooner or later. Not even they could last forever.

With nothing else to do the being control filly started on a journey to give it’s companions bodies. The green mask was given to a tree so it could take the power of plants. The red was put on a dragon so to have the power of fire. The blue mask was given to a river boulder to get the power over water. The last and yellow mask like the others became forgotten.
