In the time before Celestia and Luna, countless ages before the founding of Equestria and the union of the three pony tribes, Harmony and Discord were at war to control a chaotic world. One sought to create unity and peace; the other to prolong the wars and deepen the divides. However, Discord always wanted more; and when he begins to take it, not even Harmony can stop him.

On the path to his new destiny, Discord unleashes chaos unlike the world has ever seen in order to get the one thing he truly desires: a body.

A/N: I'm uploading edited versions of the chapters and may add chapter titles soon, so pardon in advance if a chapter disappears for a moment or two.
---------------------------------
The history of the days of chaos - before Lord Hyperion and Lady Theia eablished control over Equestria - have nearly been lost to memory. They remain only as stories logged in ancient tomes and buried in dusty shelves where nopony ventures, or myths and old mares' tales that few remember and fewer believe. But history often repeats itself, and an ancient and powerful evil reawakens and threatens to plunge Equestria into darkness eternal. Princess Luna tries in vain to protect her kingdom, aided only by Twilight Sparkle, but too late does she realize the truth behind the dire prophecies delivered onto her by three strangers from the east. Ugly secrets are brought to light, and soon Luna is forced to go on a journey to a land where no living creature dwells in order to protect Equestria.

But can she deny the darkness inside long enough to save her world and the ones loves?
