//------------------------------// // Chapter 5: Vengeance and relocation // Story: Equestrian History // by PrincessSunsetDashie //------------------------------// Darklight, furious at her trainer's betrayal, burnt away all the flesh with a spell that would make his spirit scream in pain. She took his skeleton, enchanted it to reflect all Magic attacks. Her intent was to use the skeleton as body armor in combat. After suiting up and swallowing Demonic Death's eyes, Darklight summoned all 42.34 duodecillion and slaughtered them all with one swift swing of her horn. Darklight proceeded to add the bones to her armor to block out the holes. For step two, she took the souls of her victims and used them to re-enforce her armor. Darklight, as she left the home she hardly knew, ignited the fire within her burning the planet to a crisp. With no where to go and nothing to do, Darklight chose a direction and flew of. A few years later Darklight found a new land in which to reside, the land of Equestria. Darklight shot across the sky in what many on lookers would see as good luck. One such filly wished for a less boring more eventful life. The filly was about to learn a valuable lesson about being careful what you wish for. Her parents however, saw Darklight, who looked like a meteor, heading for their house and panicked. As Darklight crashed and obliterated the house, she turned to the family. The parents were shaking uncontrollably, teeth chattering. Their eyes shrank to nearly sub-atomic levels. While the parents panicked, the filly kept trying to get past and be friends with Darklight. Darklight Magic was disappointed with the adult ponies. She saw fear as a sign of weakness. The filly however made Darklight laugh. "Funny how two weak ponies could raise such a potentially strong one." This comment confused the foals parents just long enough for the foal to sneak past her parents. But Darklight wasted no further time. "Darklight Magic" she introduced herself extending a hoof to shake. Afraid to get on her bad side, The ponies introduced themselves as Spring Majesty (the mother) and Petal Magic (the father). The foal, suddenly in Darklight's face, introduced herself as Serenity Candy. Spring Majesty's cutie mark was a simple flower growing next to a lake. Petal Magic's was a wand with a leaf growing from the edge, while Serenity Candy was still trying to find hers. "What did you mean?" asked Spring Majesty timidly while staring at the ground with not much more then a whisper to be heard. "When you said we were weak?" "Ya," spoke Petal Magic with a bit of anger surfacing. "that wasn't polite of you" planting his hooves, while Serenity Candy walked to the edge of the crater, seeing that nopony was talking to her. "Well" started Darklight. "My planet was at a constant state of war where every pony is drafted a soon as they could walk," lied Darklight. "And we were generally taught the fear is a sign of weakness and that ♪if you're strong you'll survive and you'll keep your dream alive♪". As Darklight finished explaining she turned her attention to the broken house and activated her magic. The house seemingly rebuilt itself as Darklight apologized for destroying it. As Darklight finished, Serenity Candy bounded back to the group. "Mom, Dad," she called gleefully. "Can Darklight live with us, she probably doesn't have anywhere to stay or any bits?" 'This might be easier than I thought' concluded Darklight. Though she kept that thought to herself so as not to worry Spring Majesty or Petal Magic. The two adults thought on this for a moment and then decided to allow it, seeing as Darklight has been nothing but kind and respectful once they got to (somewhat) know each other. Thought Darklight's new "friends" didn't know that they were just being manipulated. As Darklight was led inside, she started plotting on how she'd take over the land she now called home.
