As the darkness of Luna’s night gave way to the coming of Celestia’s sun, terror gripped Ponyville, for it was raining fucking fire. Nopony knew how or why the clouds were filled with the burning terror that was being unleashed upon the sleepy village, but they were unable to stop it. 

At that moments, their savior appeared. From the depths of the Everfree forest, a mysteriously cloaked figure emerged, mighty wingspan launching him into the air as he bucked every terrifying cloud out the area. Once the source of the fire had been disbursed, he swept down and used his magic to help extinguish the innumerable fires that plagued the sleepy town.

With everything extinguished, the entire town came over to thank the mysterious stranger. Only once everypony had gathered around, did he throwback the cavernous hood of his cloak to reveal a magnificent horn splitting the blue mane with white tips. The black stallion looked around, standing head and shoulders over even the largest pony, before declaring “Fear not, for you true Prince has saved you!”

The ponies were so grateful that this mysterious Prince had saved them, they gladly offered anything he could want. It was then that the Elements themselves came forth and threw themselves at him, overwhelmed by his sheer presence. He gladly accepted their offers of companionship and lead them all back towards Twilight’s castle, which he now claimed as his own. 

Before they could get much farther than a few feet from the crushing mass of ponies, Mayor Mare came forth and gladly surrendered her position of mayor to the far superior pony that had saved the town with his amazing flying and magic. Graciously accepting, he lead the Elements back to his castle for a celebratory night celebrating his saving of Ponyville.
