The Darkening of Equestria

by Shadow Stormblade


Chapter 3

“What do we have here?!” The voice of the God of Chaos echoed around Ponyville as the Princesses took their leave and teleported back to the Canterlot Palace.

“Show yourself fiend!” The midnight black stallion roared, challenging Discord then and there.

“But where’s the fun in that?” Discord cooed in reply.

“If I have to find you myself, there will be nothing left when I’m done!” The mysterious alicorn cried, charging his horn.

“Well, you’re no fun!” Discord said as he appeared before the black and blue maned stallion. “Now, who are you?!”

“I am Prince Shadow Stormblade! And I will be the one to vanquish you once and for all you fiend!”

As he made his bold declaration, he released his magic and smote Discord with a power so great, if any other tried to use it, they would have been reduced to nothing more than a pile of ash.

Discord quickly found his body turning back into the familiar stone statue that is known throughout Equestria. Not wasting this chance to rid Equestria of Chaos itself, Prince Shadow Stormblade cast another spell, one that tore open a rift in the fabric of time itself and sent Discord to rot within the void between worlds.

“One villain defeated! Soon, all will fall before me as I restore Equestria to its purity!”
