Prequel to The Witching Hour
1500 years ago, a kirin named Storm Vine was the unofficial leader of the kirins. Along with her husband Tempest Flame and most of the others, she fought to protect Equestria from any dangers that arose as knights of the realm. When she wasn't doing that, she was spending time with her adopted daughter and friends, which included the archmages of the Sun and Moon, her elder brother, and a delightful, if somewhat eccentric, trickster.
But, this is not the story of her daily life or her exploits as a knight. This is the story of how it all ended. How one of their closest friends turned against them. How they fought against and eventually defeated him. And how his fall brought them down with him.
This is the story of how the kirins disappeared from Equestria.

Interesting opener, gold star for you!
Is discord the traitor? Or is someone else the traitor and the traitor's actions were the ones that lead to discord going bad?
Looking forward to more
ok that was good I especially liked the ending that was funny. Still cant wait to see what you do for season 2 and the next chapter of this story as well. Keep up the good work

You've got my interest. Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes, shall we?
This is great Ink, a context is being provided. That will prove useful when I get to work on story about my Kirin.

4851541 You more than earned it Ink.
Interesting so far, I'm excited to see where this goes, as well as the journey the characters will take
I shall spoil the end: They all died.

You spelled 'Equestria' like 'Equeststria' in the short description. Just an FYI.
I look forward to the next chapter.
Head cannons sound heavy.

4961791 2 words "your mean"

says it right at the end of the story description:
4961907 plz say that they don't die
Even assuming I didn't read 'The Witching Hour' I could tell that this would end badly. Out of curiosity, continuity-wise does this take place before all the baddies of MLP show up? (Discord aside) Baddies like Sombra, Tirek, and Chrysalis?

cause in the Witchingverse cannon Tirek's already in Tartarus and Sombra and Chryssi aren't born yet.

Ch.2 was planned for after Ch.10, so it's on the way.
7020327 The only reason I'm not favoriting this is because I have a policy for not doing so unless it has more than 1 chapter, unless it's a one-shot of course.
7020327
that's one looooong trip.

I know
Yeah... about that
Ahh! Zombie author!!!
What necromancer did you summon to bring this masterpiece back from the grave?
On a more serious note. This. Chapter. Was. Amazing! I didn't read it originally because I didn't think it would be updated, but here we are. I can't wait for more!
Thank you for the chapter, and the rest of your books.
This is not Witching Hour
What is this? First Wanderer D and now you! Who next?
I'm so sorry, but my mind has been infected with shitposting to such a degree that I can't look at the cover art as anything but an oblong filly anon.
Good to see you again though, It's been a lil bit.
Suppose I gotta go re read you other stories now. Bugger.
Oh well, Tally ho and all that.

Wait, I missed something. That name sounds familiar. What story also updated?
It’s been five years. Five long, grueling years. But it’s back. Clearly this is a sign of the end times of the fandom. If Friendship is Witchcraft gets another episode, be prepared for the world to explode.

How many virgins do you need for the next Witching Hour? And I'll throw in a thot to teach them the ropes for free.
