Equestria, a land of harmony and peace...now a land of oppression and misery. Several months ago, the nation society of historical research began excavation in some old ruins dated back to before the rise of any known nations or empires. The ponies sent there never returned and any sign of them or the ruins had disappeared.

One month ago, IT had arrived. An unknown pony wielding powerful magic and commanding an army of various twisted creatures invaded Equestria, nopony was able to stand up to them. The elements of harmony were all captured, except for Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle who both disappeared with no trace. The crystal empire was completely destroyed and both Cadance and Shining Armour are presumed to be dead. Celestia and Luna were defeated and captured by the mysterious pony, causing the sun/moon cycle to stop, resulting in a permanent sunset.

Today, the sky serves as a reminder to all ponies that the two immortal sisters were beaten and that all hope is seemingly lost. A resistance has formed and is fighting a losing war against the armies of distorted ponies and other creatures.

A big thank you to Alun Aleriksson for proofreading my story.
