Darkest Abyss

Prologue part 1: Paradoxical Ink

Ruin has found a new host

Need I am not to narrate you of any luxury to boast.
Neither what happened to our own village.
Due to your current knowledge, and familiarity of the situation, you know what is transpiring.

I am not in the mood to make morality lessons, but I could share the fact that even.
In a very peaceful place like the land Celestia worked hard to keep safe.

Not all the problems were fixed and I am not counting her persistent villains.
Nor Chrysalis or Sombra had got nothing on this one.

Desire, paranoia and depravity are the real things that continued to persist despite her efforts.
The sun princess absolutely disdained every form of them.
The villains she fought before, despite their genuine evil, never dared for one second to cross the line.

Cowards or hypocrites.
I cannot say.

Even when Equestria was at the stake in most unlikely frequency,
I didn't cared about who won between heroes or villains.
I won't call that insensibly if you know what I am talking about.
I just come to tire of conventional idea of harmony feud against the seemingly dreaded evil or Celestia's idea of rule.

No overthrowing princess intended since I found refuge from boredom in my own ways.
Although I favored hedonism.
Ingenuity and depravity in live before my reasoning, it wasn't enough the idea of experience.
I went over the spectrum to learn a really terrific art.

Nor black magic.
And not even the stupid chaos magic that Discord boasted most.
Yes, my presumed remaining prole, that one.

As you know, I lived in Duskweed Village at the north of Canterlot mountain.
Built above on the empirical pantheon of ours.
There are no ghost stories or trivial small urban legend regarding that place to render it dreaded
But the moment I came to know its position harboring a gateway to dreadful, unlikely, unfathomable power.

That very tiny little info that sparked a plethora of possibilities beyond any powerful form of magic in my genius.
I knew I was going for some real fun experiment of my own.

I spent only a quarter of my fortune on stronger hooves and sterner stock to dig up any esclusive relic of unknown
Something that Celestia herself would not approve.
Eventually, I managed to reach something more out of Equestrian influence.
A gateway to an unfathomable power more terrific than black magic itself.

Much to my bewilderment, I found said gateway being suddenly opening before I could even see it.
It seemed nonsensical until I realized the plausible outcome.
Some other one managed to put his hooves on the art in another way.

A ritual, a invocation or a sacrifice I wasn't able to know.
Until I saw hallucinations and visions of horrific revelations
Someone deliberately wanted to plunge Equestria into a unmitigated mayhem.

Whoever came out of the portal and brought madness and death on us.
Was more weaker during his presence in Equestria and was taking more time to gain physical form.
Unless there was a shortcut in his range.
A meal in the form of corrupted souls.

I was in the perfect moment for it to bite me.

As for the ponies I hired for the excavation.

Just appetizers to add into its unmaking mouth

Quite of an contrived coincidence.

Although I wasn't entirely responsible of what horror will fall on the land of Harmony
I was just some hedonist who merely ended up speeding up the process.

I saw that thing already happening in other worlds.
Such sight was the most terrifying one before dying.

Sure the Elements of Harmony would try saving the day.
But what you can do when you are facing an outer higher power equal or even superior to that of Harmony itself?

Dispelled into oblivion or worse mutilated.
That's the outcome.

Equestria will become much like our village having fallen into the void
The newfound nest of parasitic abomination.

You can return to your home to try to oppose such thing and reclaim what is yours along with Equestria
But make no mistake.

What you are facing knows all of your weaknesses
And your defeat by its claws will make your doom literally absolute,

May your quest come into fruition.

I won't hope for it though.
