I am A.K. Yearling. Some of you know me as Daring Do. I am a former archaeologist, now I'm an Assassin. For years I have been diving into tombs and crawling into ancient dungeons in search of history. One day, I found my ultimate discovery: the Tree of Harmony. In my ignorance, I did not realize I had found the hidden truth of this world. I took the Elements of Harmony that the Tree possessed and was about to announce my discovery to the world.
I did not have the chance, though. Before I even reached civilization, I was captured by the Templar Order, or like how they call themselves now: Ahuizotl Industries. I was blindfolded and handcuffed when they took me to their HQ in Manehatten. There, they separated me from the Elements and forced me into this device called the Animus. The Animus allowed me to access the memories inside the Elements. Because I was the first person to touch the Elements in 500 years, the artifacts gave me all sorts of information describing a warning. I was soon able to travel back in time 500 years ago and watch the last six Bearers of Harmony. These fateful Assassins were Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and Rarity.
There was another Assassin I followed: Den Master Octavia Melody of Canterlot. She was not a Bearer, but she had written her life story as it went along. Ahuizotl was kind enough to let me read her stories and discover more about the Elements. However, I soon realized they were using me to access the Elements' incredible powers. I was helping them plan to take over the world.
One day, the ghosts of Twilight, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash came to me. They told me that there was a reason why the Elements are not to be used. Soon Rarity joined us and we planned to escape. I fled from the building without the Elements and went down to Baltimare, where the next set of Octavia's writings were hidden.
As soon as I discovered that there are six more Bearers of the Crystal Heart: Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, Tirek, Scorpan, and Discord. These six were the victors against the Shadow King Sombra, who ruled about 1500 years ago. From what I was told, they were immortal and some of them lived still. Not only did I discover these Bearers, but also the smaller Element-like crystals called "shards" that were much less rare than Elements but almost as powerful. With this new information, I started my return route to Manehatten to free the Elements of Harmony.
We were captured once more, but now I had hundreds of years of Assassin training in my head from the Bearer ghosts telepathically giving it to me. It was easy to escape again. I found the Elements of Harmony and used them to fight my way out of Ahuizotl Industries.
Since all six Elements were united once more, I went to the Everfree to return them to the Tree of Harmony. The Bearers thanked me and that was the last time I spoke with them.
I started to use my Assassin training to help other people. I became a vigilante that could strike from the shadows. I was a real Assassin now. Since I learned that the Brotherhood had disbanded 500 years ago, I thought my dealings with the Templar/Assassin war was done.
That was until I met Vinyl Scratch, a friend of Octavia Melody who had been granted immortality by the Lord of Chaos, Discord. The Brotherhood never died, but renamed themselves the "Sons of Discord" and fight for Chaos instead of Harmony. They continue to seek shards and Elements and use them against the Templar who fight for Absolute Order.
That is where I am now. I joined the Sons of Discord. They are no longer the valiant Assassins of old, but I did not have a choice to reject Vinyl's offer. My quest is now to aid Chaos. I am a Daughter of Discord.
