The Graves

This is a little back story of the graves and how they came to be. i know its a bit choppy at parts but i hope you get the idea:

The world of Equestria has many mysteries. Many the very Princesses of the land know, and many they don’t. The Crimson Graves are one such mystery. This graveyard house’s the bodies of past alicorns, dragons, griffins and other such creatures. Some not even of this world. The ground is full of the creature’s magic, memories and even their dreams. Everything that made up the dead fills this hole ground. For as long as the plant has lived, so have the graves. Over time as the alicorns became the dominant species of the planet, they came across the graves. After a war of long since lost reason. The alicorns decided to bury their dead in this land. The graves where always alive. A being of love and kindness. The alicorns of old asked the graves to watch over there dead, and she was more than happy to agree. In exchange for watching over there dead and helping their souls pass on, the graves asked that all magic, memories, everything that made them, them, every experience they had be left in the body when they passed on to the next world. Seeing as the alicorns of old saw no use for what they have gained in life to help them in death, they agreed and the deal was made.

Over time, the combination of magic and memories soon changed the graves. Once they were beautiful, not they are withered. While many creatures had good memories, a vast if they lived in pain. Wars and chaos, all the pain was more than the happiness. The graves soon come to a realization. If they stayed where they were. The overwhelming pain of the lost would corrupt the land and ruin any slight chance of happiness. The graves would not wish this on anything. Using the magic and knowledge the graves have gained, they cast a spell. The spell did many things. First it would remove it from time and space. Grooving its own laws of time, the grave would not be able to no longer affect the planet. Second. This aloud the graves to still collect the falling, as was the deal of long ago. Though others would no longer be able to visit there falling families or her. She decided this was for the best. Being removed from time and space aloud the graves to visit not just the realm she came from, but others as well. Still longing to care for falling creatures, the graves started to collect from other realms, but not all there dead. Each realm had a different set of rules, and she followed them as much as she could. Only a few either to dangerous to let their abilities fall into the hands of others or those who she choose where allowed to be buried in her graves.

It was not until one day she returned to her home realm and the planet, now called Equestira by the alicorns did she decide to make another chose. When the elements of harmony where created a balance was shifted. It tipped the scales to close to the light. This, in time would cause a greater problem, one that might kill all life if left unchecked. She had a plan, but never wanted to have it play out. The night nightmare moon was destroyed by the elements of harmony and Luna set free, the graves came to the conclusions she had feared and wish to never employ. She would make a body for herself. One with all the power she has and with all the abilities of those buried in her graves. She never wanted a body and such power should never be held in a physical form. She had no choice. When nightmare moon arrived at her graves, that’s when she knew. Changes had to be made. The balance had to be restored. She did not know of the outcome her choice would affect the planet or how it would change things, but as nightmare moon laid on her ground. She could feel her sadness and her anger. Fate is a strange thing, even for the graves. She chooses the body of an earth pony, being as she was born from the world it only made since. Her coat, white, hair blonde and eyes blue. Knowing the history of the ponies she knew she needed a cutie mark. She chose one that would always remind her of her role in the world, balance. Ying and yang, moon and sun in the symbol, surrender by the elements. As for gender, female was her first chose, but decide to take a more male looking form, but she kept herself genderless, and the power to change gender at will. She liked this new form, but she needed a name. For now she picked the name “Balance “and felt it would work for now. The path has been chosen and the graves now knew what needed to be done. But how she would accomplish this mission was still unknown to even her. Only time would tell
