The events that would tangle with the destinies of the noble Sparkle Clan began five millenia ago. The Alicorns, demigod like beings created by The Maker, fractured. A trio of them, of whose names are lost to myth and legend, arose to take power from The Maker, and seek true immortality. They rallied any who would join them, and waged a war with the ancient ponies, among the other species of ancient Equis. All seemed bleak, as any weapons were shattered by their dense bodies, or broken in the heat of combat. Alicorns loyal to the Maker joined the ancient Equestrians in their struggle, but even so, their loses were greater than that of the rogue Alicorns. All seemed hopeless...

Until one tribe of ponies, a join group of Pegasi, Earth Ponies, Unicorns, and Threstrals sought to bring down the fallen Alicorns. Training relentlessly, they were eventually able to tap into the one weakness of these Alicorns-pure light! For since these wicked Alicorns hearts had been tained by darkness, they would be destroyed by the eternal light of purity, hope, and peace. Channeling their inner magical reserves, this tribe of Equestrians were able to attune their very souls to the light of the Maker, and of the blazing sun above. This technique became spread among the ponies, as they could inflict blows with that burned like the heart of the sun itself, and thus the rebellion began anew. Many dark Alicorns fell, their bodies overflowing with light, that they burnt to ash. Through countless battles, burning with heat, life, and a relentless urge to overthrow the tyranny of these evil Alicorns, ponykind eventually came upon the original fallen trio. Due to their enhanced power, upon accepting deals from the Fallen, the archrival to the Maker, the only thing ponykind could do, was seal them away, locking them into stone, and burying them underground, hopefully never to see the light of day once again.

But, a ruined and blighted land had been left behind. The progenitors of the modern Equestrians cried out for aid. The Maker granted it. Two Alicorns, Laurel Faustis, Alicorn of Knowledge, and her husband, King Solaire, Alicorn of Life-Energies, had their dual children placed as rulers, mediators between the Maker, and mortal kind. These two Alicorns are known to us today as Princess Celestia, and her younger sister of five minutes, Princess Luna. Together, they faced off against many a threat to the nation. Even through Princess Luna's lunar banishment, Princess Celestia stood as a beacon of hope amongst darkness. 

Though, not all things stay buried, for the trio of dark Alicorns were not killed, they only slumber within stone. Their artifacts have been uncovered by archeologists, or personal collectors, and are on display in museums, and noble homes.

One such home is the Sparkle Estate, home to the kind-hearted Sparkle clan of nobles, from where gallant knights and revolutionary inventors have come from. One such member shall be the beginning of this never ending tale. 

If Dusk Sparkle cannot embrace the twisting fate of her bloodline, and the courage in her heart, then all shall be lost to eternal darkness....
