"The stars have faded. The moon has grown distant from me. Sister, what has happened during the thousand years of my absence? What has happened to my night?"

[Humanized Universe] [Slightly Crossover?*]
The existence of demons and monsters is quite widely known across Equestria. The fact that they live among us, however, is a well kept secret. Well, of course it is, silly. If things were otherwise, that would mean that I'm not doing my job properly, which is a ridiculous notion in itself. Who am I, you ask? I'm Scarlet, Equestria's very first demon slayer. And this is my story.

Marked teen for partially violent scenes.

* Scarlet's general appearance and fighting style (nothing more than those two things) are based off the RWBY series by Monty Oum. I'd have done things differently, but then where else am I going to get a cover art image that I like? You don't have to follow the RWBY series to understand the story, as nothing else will be making references or going back to its lore and plot.

Everyone makes mistakes. Whether they be little slips that end up being harmless, or catastrophic mishaps that affect the nature of the world as we know it, mistakes happen. Our friends and enemies, the rich and poor, the powerful and weak, and everyone in between. They ñall have their own stories to tell. Their times of tragedy, their times of sorrow. It is in these times that life fully puts them to the test. P

Some will step into the light, recognized as heroes and saviours. Others will fall into the darkness, consumed by spite and greed. We have heard their stories, recorded in the pages of history for all to see. But sometimes, among the rarest of the rare, some will find they have no place to belong. They are the in-betweens. Those covered by the thin veil between good and evil.

This is the untold story showing the life of such a being. His birth, adventures, friendships, and loves. His tragedy, betrayal, exile, and finally, his end. This is the story of Discord. This is the story of a forgotten past.

*This story will take place in a season 2 finale canon alternate universe.
