Prologue
The Origin Begins
A thousands of years ago reigned a kingdom made entirely of crystals; ruled by dragons ,This kingdom was ruled by one beautiful dragon named Sapphire. She was a light blue dragon with great power. 'Her power was tied to a precious blue gem called 'The Sapphire of Immortality.' She ruled the dragon realm and kept Equestria's harmony safe from harm's way. You see the Sapphire of Immortality allows dragons to live forever, but legend also tells that whoever possesses the Sapphire will also have the power to rule Equestria.
Sapphire kept the gem safe for many years to come; but she didn't foresee that one day the kingdom would fall into darkness.
The kingdom was under attack by an anonymous evil. Dragons, not of this realm appeared what seemed to be out of nowhere. The princess knew not where they came from, but she knew one thing. She knew they were here for what was the kingdom's most precious gem. (The Sapphire of Immortality), and all of its powers. The kingdom fought back desperately against the evil dragon forces, but were unsuccessful despite their determination to stop them.
The kingdom and its princess had no hope and no power against the forces. They were about prepared to surrender when one, despite loses stood up. One dragon which the kingdom had never seen before fought back against the dark forces. He was a majestic dragon with purple skin, and green spikes on his back. He breathed out fire of green fumes, and he was something that no one had ever expected. With the power of his flame a huge burst of fire surrounded the kingdom. The kingdom was then protected by a wall of pure flame so that the dark forces could not proceed. The power of the fumes fired multiple balls of flames at the dark forces and with that the forces of darkness were defenseless and fell back to where they came from.
The kingdom was at peace once again; and with that, the hero and the princess shared a deep kiss and years later they became one through marriage, and now the hero became the king of the Crystal Empire. Several days past when the royal couple had a child and was waiting for the egg to be hatched. The kingdom was stirring of the news of the soon to come prince. The dragons of the kingdom gave cheers of excitement for such wonderful news, and they lived happily ever after.
"Or so they thought."
The king feared that the dark forces would return to take over their realm and cast over their shadows across the kingdom again. The king foresaw the return of the dark forces, but was not prepared, for the darkness came with a whole new army of troops, and with a new unspeakable power. The kingdom was beginning to fall as the dragon guard fought their outmost best to defend the kingdom. They once again failed to hold back the dark forces entering the kingdom who were in search for their prize. Deep below the Crystal Kingdom was the king and queen running to the crystal chamber with their little one in the mother's arms.
"Sapphire, this way. To the chamber room. We must hurry!" the king urged his queen.
The king and queen kept on running down a hall that had frames of the past dragon rulers of the kingdom along the wall. At the end of the hall they then entered a large room with a small platform in the middle of the room. There was also a large sealed door on the other side of the chamber room. The king and queen laid their child in the middle of the platform.
"Honey, what are we going to do?" Sapphire asked in a panic, "We can't let our son be taken by those monsters." She turn toward the large door at the end of the room, "Especially not the Sapphire."
The king was paralyzed with hesitation, but still gave an answer, "I know, Sapphire, but we must protect our most prized possession…and that…is our son." he muttered.
"So what must we do my dearest?" she asked.
The king slowly took in a deep breath and blew green flames out of his mouth into the air. The green fumes were scattered everywhere. The king used his two claws to absorb the energy and formed it into a sphere of green fiery energy, he walked over to the egg and in one blow of his mouth he transferred all of his powers to his son. He felt weak without his power, but still was strong in hope.
"You will carry out my lineage my son and when the time comes you will be ready to fight my battles, protect the kingdom and defend Equestria." He picked up the egg and handed it over to Sapphire.
Then they heard loud noises of several dragons pounding on the door. They were trying to break in. The king had to finish quickly. He stood in front of the sphere and with just one drop of what power he had left, turned on a machine which was under the platform in the middle of the chamber. A teleporter arose and then he walked back to Sapphire who was standing on the other side of the still teleport and explained what he must do for her and his son.
"Sapphire, listen …you must get out of her while you still have the opportunity…the portal will take you to the surface. I…I won't be able to make it. Only you can." The king articulated to Sapphire who was sobbing upon his chest, "You must protect our son, Sapphire ... because he is the world to us both."
"I…I can't leave without you!" Sapphire cried even more squeezing her husband to come while almost feeling helpless.
"There is no other way Sapphire, you must go!" he walked her over to the portal and stopped, before he let her go. He held her hands for a few seconds and looked down to her and said, "Sapphire, I love you."
"I … love you too." she said while hugging him.
So with that they deported from each other and Sapphire entered the teleporter. She was slowly disappearing, but before she vanished, Sapphire could have sworn upon hearing her husband cry as well. A wave of goodbye and she faded away. She then found herself outside the kingdom walls. Behind her she could see the kingdom collapse into pieces, engulfed by dark clouds of debris and smoke. She hurried away. A few minutes later she had passed Neighagra Falls then she passed over the Foal Mountains. A few miles later she made it to the Everfree Forest where she had to stop for a breather. She knew she could not stop for she was being followed by legions of dark forces. She placed her son down on two rocks and stared at him for a few moments realizing that she was not going to escape alive. She knew that she only had but one choice, and that was to save her son. She kneeled down, took out a silver bracelet then placed it over the egg. She then used her magical powers to make a shield around the egg and the bracelet.
