Chapter 1 Introductions

I awoke to a sound equivilant to a thousand people clapping all at once, but it was simply a little thunder. The storm that was apperently now in full affect as the wind roared, and the rain raged with gallons and gallons of water, just continued as I tried to fall back to sleep. But for some reason, I could not pull myself to the slumber I so despraitly wanted. So, I got up to look at the storm that was still shoving and pouring.

My name is Tristan by the way, I'm 17, and I'm a brony as well. I have been an obsessed brony for nearly a year now, and have gone through changes in favorites from Rainbow Dash to AppleJack. I love the show, music, art work, and all other groups like gaming. I'll admit to clop, I'm just not quite good at saying it out loud to anyone. I have 4 brothers, and 4 sisters, all below me thus making me the oldest of 9, and have babysat them before. But, enough about me, let me get back to where I am at the moment.

The storm still looking fierce as ever, looking from the window above me. I live in the basement, it's got the actual ceiling and carpeted floor, so it's pretty nice to be here. Exceptions to the basement are that it has humidity problems, leaving the carpets soaking wet. Exception to that thanks to this little humidity control device that lays in my window cile, it doesn't affect my room. So, the storm, no sleep, and the need to find something to do till I get drowsy.

As I looked outside to the flashing of lightening, and the pouring down rain, for a glimpse, I see a box in the side yard of our house. Seeing my oppertunity, I get out of bed, go get shoes, and leave to get the box. It didn't take long to get it, and I was pretty pleased that it wasn't to far away. When I made it back, I noticed, it looked somewhat like the elements of harmony box, only it was more of a blackish color. The usual colors of the diamonds, were now gothy colors. When I opened it, it held a necklece, and a piece of parchment with the words 'Instruction Manual' written on it. 'Well, at least I'll know how to use it whe-... THE HELL AM I TALKING ABOUT, I'VE JUST FOUND A NEW ELEMENT FROM THE ONLY THING I EVER THINK ABOUT!' I thought to myself.

I started to shake as I went to touch the necklece. But, before I could touch it, my hand started to glow a dark red, and as I stared, I noticed that the necklece was doing the same thing. When I pulled my hand back, my hand stopped glowing as well as the necklece. I looked at the necklece without picking it up and saw a dark red sheriken on it, and the gold on the elements of harmony, wasn't what I found on this necklece. Instead I found a black metal, something I could not discribe on paper.

After making my great glowing discovery, I decided to make my next move by touching it. When I touched it I felt searing pain in my skull as memories started to flood my mind. After what felt like years, but was mear milliseconds, I passed out on luckly my bed, as the thunder got ever so louder.
