This story IS completed. I wrote it last summer as my very first fanfic. It did well on fanfiction.net so I thought I'd post it on here as well. NOTE: As I said, this story is kind of old. It was written before Season 2 began so you may have to disregard everything that happened in the "Dragon Quest" episode while reading it.      

Celestia knew this day would come. He would return and have revenge. And all she could do was think back to the old times. She loved him, but when she broke his heart, she never knew he would become a monster. This is the story of a love that could never be, a hateful villain tucked in the shadows, setting her plans in motion, and a kingdom that watched in horror as everything plunged into chaos.
