Darkness can eat away at one's soul; darkness and fear was all he knew for a thousand years. A brutal, near death, defeat has weakened this once nigh invincible Stallion of Darkness. It is now up to the least likely of heroes to unknowingly cure the pain and loss of his soul; hopefully he can regain it and light the fires in his long cold heart.

It's over. Equestria has fallen. The four princesses and anyone who had ties to royalty are dead, and the element bearers and their families have been killed. The Kelpies, a race of water-dwelling equines, now rule Equestria with iron hooves. Most ponies now live in fear, though some support their new overlords.

Far off in the Crystal Mountains, a group of escapees look upon their former home. They may have been normal citizens of Equestria once, but now they are warriors. When the time comes, they will fight for Equestria.

Set in the far future after Celestia and Luna mysteriously vanished and the sun and moon froze in the sky, Antipodes is the story of two ponies thrust out into the harsh new world on an adventure to uncover what happened to the world so long ago.

(I wrote this when I was 17. it's pretty rough in places, but i think the basic ideas i had here were pretty cool. it's got a good skeleton)
