The War of Chaos and Darkness

Prologue: Birth of the Prince of Shades.

Nox Void, King of Nexus. That was the title of the ancient dragon known for the ability to control the element of shadow, and at the moment, the shadow puppeteer was nervous. The king was a black dragon that had looked skeletal, he also had an extra pair of arms on his body located just beneath the first two, and his scales were shaped to jut outward in places, making is seem as if he was a living suit of armor. He had kind, crimson eyes and held knowledge of the world he ruled. Almost always strapped to his back was a massive Zweihänder. The shadow dragon paced through the hallway of his castle while one of his servants tended to his wife, who was in labor. Decades earlier the dragon had literally created his own kingdom.

He was one of the elemental dragons, a kind able to use elemental magic, and had delved into dark magic. His experiments eventually bore fruit in the form a Gollum which he called a shade. It was a blank mass of physical shadow with his family's crest as a face. The crest was two crescent moons bound together by a blood red chain with a padlock in the center of the cross section the chain made between the crescents which formed an X. He called his new creation a shift.

But over the first month of his rule over the new beings, he noticed that the creatures were dying, after many weeks of trying to figure out why, the answer came to him in the form of his own shadow. If nothing stood between a source of light and the ground, then a shadow could not exist. This led him to conclude that the shifts were being killed because of direct contact with sunlight. They would die after a max of six hours if they did not enter the shadows to heal.

Panicking about how to keep his subjects alive, the king delved even deeper into dark magic. The knowledge he gained slowly twisted his mind, but in the end he had finally discovered a solution. By taking a piece of his shadow and infusing it with the natural magic of the world, he was able to change two of the Gollum’s into homunculus like beings. This extended their lifespan in sunlight to a good three years, if they periodically got out of the sunlight and under cover.

Eventually the population started to mutate. The shades had created their own way of reproducing. They took small fragments of their own cores and shadow and merged them with another fragment. This created a form of new shades. Void
was later shocked when he noticed that his own body started to mutate after a century as king.

His old body was an ordinary black dragon with calm blue eyes. But the use of dark magic had finally taken its toll on the king. He later found out what had happened to his body because of the black magic. He had become a shade just like his creations. By that point they had gotten his kingdom's capital up in a valley covered in shadows due to the tall mountains that prevented the sunlight from being shown in a direct spot. They had named the valley The Nexus of Shadows and thus came the name of the kingdom.

Eventually the shade king's black magic had upset the balance of the world to the point where it that it had started to get torn apart at the seams, and, as a result, had created a spirit named Concord to bring the world back into balance. This spirit decided it needed to create its own beings using light magic. He decided that the easiest way to do so was to infuse the natural creatures called ponies. After doing so it resulted in a mutation for two thirds of the ponies. One third grew wings while the second had horns sprout from their foreheads. It had also turned the entirety of the creatures into sentient beings.
The ponies who had not been mutated in any physical way, earth ponies, became farmers because they had a strong connection to plants and nature. The ones who had sprouted horns, later called unicorns, were given the ability to use magic to a degree strong enough to create things, with an exchange of becoming tired afterword. The mutations of the third species, pegasi, had given them the power to fly and manipulate the weather.

Eventually war broke out. The king had managed to fight to a standstill against the spirit who, in a burst of magic, had somehow absorbed the shade king's insanity. The result turned the spirit into a mix and mesh creature called a Draconequus and resulted in the spirit’s name changing from Concord to Discord. The spirit that had once existed for the purpose of keeping the world in order, had now become a spirit of chaos.

With his new found sanity the king threw the spirit out of the kingdom and was soon surprised by a miracle that he had not thought possible. A Wingblade shade, a being similar to the Wyvern subspecies of his old race, the dragons, had given birth to a shade with one of Discord's creations, a unicorn pony named Shadow Spectrum. The result was a wing-blade shade that was half pony, a Kirin shade named Crescent. After two more centuries the king married the unique shade and, for the first time in forever, or at least as long as he could remember, was happy. He was broken from his thoughts by the opening of the door.

Out walked a shift in ornate, black, robes with a green trim that seemed to be female in figure. This was a Castor shade, more specifically a Witch, the female version of the species. When she was created she had been given the name Spell Weaver. “Your majesty, congratulations. It's a boy.” Said the witch in a respectful tone.

“Thank you Spell Weaver. Now I believe you should go and see that stallion of yours, Starswirl if I remember correctly.” Said King Nox. The witch bowed in respect and walked off. The king then entered the room and smiled at the sight of his wife, holding a bundle in a dark blue blanket. He approached and looked at the small bundle in her arms before he gave a small gasp. Instead of a wing blade like he expected in his wife's arms, he saw, what looked at first like a shift without the crest of the kingdom on it.

Then the little baby opened its eyes revealing, to his surprise, that they were blue instead of the normal red of the shade species. It even had a mouth, as evidenced when he yawned. “He's beautiful Crescent.” Said Nox, who was now holding his son.

“Yes my love, he is, just as we had hoped.” Said Queen Crescent.

“And, his eyes, they look like two little will-o-wisps, just seeing them seems to calm my soul.” Noted the king.

“That's why I named him Tamashii Souto no Nexus” Said Queen Crescent amused at her little pun on the fact that his eyes looked like the little lost souls that the living could only see at night.

“My little prince… The little one born of my soul… You will make an excellent King.” Nox smiled, thinking of the future his son would have.

“He will as long as we raise him right you mean. Remember honey, he was not born like normal shades, he was birthed, not created.” His wife said with a tiny giggle.

“Of course my queen… I wonder, will he get a... What did that old magician call them? Oh yes, a cutie mark?” Asked the king.

“Well he does have a third pony DNA alongside your dragon DNA and my shade DNA. So it might be possible. But… Do you remember what happened to that Sunny-dale place when they feared what the marks meant?” Said Crescent in a worried tone.

“We made sure that will never happen again.” Said Starswirl as he entered. The pony was just entering his eighties and had already grew quite an impressive beard. He was a grey unicorn that wore blue cloak and wizard’s hat that had six pointed star patterns on them. The articles of clothing had been gifts from his wife, spell weaver. The unicorn gave a relieved sigh when he saw that the prince had come out alright. He then turned his attention to the dragon turned shade. “My king as you know the ruler of the monster tribes had a son himself about 30 years ago and that the child looks as young as your newborn. By the look of things, the two will grow up at the same rate.” The unicorn smiled at the thought of the two princes growing up together. "Young Fang is just as energetic as his farther. It is a shame that the old king Sangue perished in the war.” Starswirl said as a small frown replaced the smile that had just been on his face.

“Yes… I am sorry about that Star but, as you well know, I was not in a sane state of mind at the time.” Said the shade king a remorseful tone.

“And there still is no sign of Discord… Oh how I fear what my former mentor could be up to now…” Said Starswirl with a sigh.

Just then Scarlet Queen of the Monster Tribes. entered with her son following close behind. The new born Tamashii looked at the black colt that had both a horn and the wings of a bat, curiously while Fang returned the stare. The two just kept that stare for a minute or two, just staring into each other’s eyes as if it would tell them what the other was thinking. Soon both of the young colts smiled and started to play.

Nox laughed. “He's as energetic as when I was born, according to my late mother. But this means he won't be able to sleep until he gets older, then again music always helped me with that problem so maybe we can use that as a solution.” Said King Nox with a smile. Then the group smiled as the two infants ran out of energy, yawned, and went to sleep. They knew that those few minutes were the start of a friendship, one that would last for eons. (End prologue.)

Author's Note:

Well guys what do you think this is going to be my first story on this site and I have set this story in the same universe as my friend dark star the crazed created and provide more into the life of tamashii 'soul' souto before he debuted in the king of monsters basically this story is going to follow soul and end where he debuts in the king of monsters. So expect a lot of slice of life moments before the dark chaos war resumes. A lot of the future chapters will tie in what I learned of season 4's history revelations with tirek to make more of a canon connection. I won't spoil what I got in mind but I am having my friend's help as it is universe and thus the best to help out. If you want to help progress the story than submit a oc soul will encounter what role they have is debate able. You can also suggest demons soul will face near the end of the fic about ten chapters before I finish as that will be when king of monsters starts before soul enters. You know your time limit so with that done please read and review. This has been geohikari152 the second and I will see you in a new era. "saa Sore wa jikan o karida!"
