A Rhyme of the Royals
By dashie76



A long time ago, in a faraway place
The alicorn lived - an all powerful race
With hooves of the earth, wings of the sky
And a horn of magic they were mighty and high

They cared for their kingdom lovingly
They ruled in peace and harmony
'Till their sister race, the draconequii
Came to make the harmony die

With the head of a pony, leg of a mule
Arm of a lion, chaos as fuel
Tail of a snake, and a heart of mirth
They truly were the demons of earth

Their chaotic powers were sent 'cross the land
Beetles to flowers, glass to sand
This, the alicorn could not stand for
And so, their nation went to war

Both sides immortal, still killed each other
Both sides invincible, still hurt one another
Two massive and godlike races collide
With death and destruction on either side

Their fight raged on for a century
Many lives were claimed, but eventually
Between three beings the final battle was born
One draconequus, two alicorn

The alicorn found six Elements of Harmony
They were Honesty, Laughter, Kindness, and Loyalty
Generosity and Magic were the final two
And these six Elements the alicorn used

Tow finally seal their enemy away
They bound him in stone, and to this day
His statue rests on this royal ground

...But I've heard rumors floating around...

They say that when the Elements' power
Was used once again at midnight's hour
To stop the Mare in the Moon's second plight
To bring about eternal night

They were not used by the princess, they say
Rather, six Ponyville mares saved the day
And now that the princess does not control them
Her greatest evil is rising again

The being of chaos, last of his kind
Is coming for vengeance:  Discord shall rise
You must escape now, he's coming for us

The final chaotic draconequus.
