In the land of Equestria you will come across a vast array of good-hearted, fun-loving, and down to earth ponies that you can always count on in the time of need. Yet, when there is good, there always has to be evil that follows. Although there are plenty of good ponies for you to meet, there are those who have blackened hearts who are hell bent on gaining power.
One such monarch is King Sombra, the once dark ruler of one of Equestria's most esteemed kingdoms simply known as The Crystal Empire. Ruling with an iron hoof he would take over the throne turning all who shimmered with crystal beauty into his obedient slaves. Casting dark crystals all over the empire and taking possession of the powerful crystal heart, King Sombra fed off the suffering of the crystal ponies and his thirst for power was ever growing. Feeling he had total control, he was overthrown by the Goddesses of Equestria Princess Celestia and her young sister Princess Luna. With their united power they was able to banish him and turn him into nothing but shadow.
However, King Sombra hid the crystal heart away from the crystal ponies leaving them in a depressed manner for one thousand years. When he returned one thousand years later, he attempted to once again take control of the throne he once held. He was close in doing so, but he met his match in the royal family of the Crystal Empire, Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor. With the help of Twilight Sparkle and her friends, the royal family and the rest of the crystal ponies was able to succumb King Sombra to the power of light forcing him into oblivion for eternity. The Crystal Empire would enjoy the rest of existence in peace and harmony.
Now the royal family of Princess Cadence and Prince Shining Armor almost didn't come to be due to the meddling of another wicked monarch known as Queen Chrysalis. Empress of the changeling army, Chrysalis has the ability to change into the form of any mare she chose. With this power to her disposal she changed into the form of Princess Cadence and locked her away in the deep dark caves under the kingdom of Canterlot. Also, she used the technique of mind control to mesmerize Prince Shining Armor making him fall in love with her. She fed off that love to gain power in order to allow her loyal subjects to reign supreme over Equestria.
True love would not be denied though as Princess Cadence was released by her soon to be sister-in-law Twilight Sparkle. Finally freed, Cadence was able to use her magic of true love to break the spell of Queen Chrysalis over Shining Armor. Once brought back to reality, Shining Armor joined together with Cadence to finally blow Queen Chrysalis away into irrelevancy.
If one day you are staying in Equestria and feel rain pouring down, but it is rain of chocolate coming from clouds made of cotton candy, then you are the victim of the chaotic hijinks of the one and only Discord. A hybrid of many other creatures, he is the master of chaos who enjoys watching the land turned upside down and nothing but confusion happening. With the snap of his fingers he can make cute cuddly animals turn into big ferocious beasts. He has the ability to defy the laws of nature to boggle the mind of all come into his presence.
He was once casted into stone by the Elements of Harmony after he tried to rule Equestria with his reign of chaos. After time, Princess Celestia felt Discord needed to be reformed so she could try to convince him to use his powers for good instead of bad. She left this great task to the bearer of the element of kindness, the shy and timid Fluttershy. The rest of the Mane Six didn't trust Discord at all, but Fluttershy was determined to succeed at his reformation. Giving him the gift of friendship, Fluttershy was able to turn Discord over to the side of good.
A King and Queen’s Chaos
A ruthless monarch hungry for power of a crystal empire
he focused on enslaving the innocent of both young and old.
Ruling with a blackened heart that seemed to never expire
he was finally brought down by those who had hearts of gold.
With the ability to change into the form of another at will
she would ruin a royal wedding to try and seize the throne.
Ultimate control and power was just within her grasp until
two hearts united in true love and she was greatly overthrown.
Chaos seemed to spread across the land in time without end
by the mind of a draconic creature that lacked a caring heart.
Yet with great patience he earned the trust of a loyal friend
who helped reform him so his life could have a fresh start.
Even in a harmonious land of ponies good and evil still fight
and the inner battle within the heart between the dark and light.
