Shadow Wing has had a rough life. From growing up in less then adequate conditions and fighting just to survive. Shadow has kept his past shrouded in mystery from those who he holds most dear. But now, in order to ensure a better future for himself and his friends, Shadow must open up about his past to show his friends that he that he is exactly that. A friend.

Shadow (mainly referred to as Specter for reasons explained in the story) is my OC and the main character.

Other characters include: Crescent Blade and Ruby Wing created by Nocturnis Comics. And Vanessa Venom Created by Voltsthevoltvolts
Though these characters will not be featured throughout the story. Just the beginning and the end.

Rated Teen for violence and language.

This is my first entry into Kilala's 'Fun Fact Fan Fic' contest.

Fun Fact: Whirlwind is terrified of fire

I will be writing based on my own NON-CANON ideas and I will be borrowing a little bit from the events in Kilala's picture "Burn", Enjoy.

Whirlwind has finally accomplished her dream of becoming a Wonderbolt. But when a house fire breaks out in Ponyville, Whirlwind finds herself facing her worst fear. After sustaining a crippling injury, Whirlwind will find comfort in one of her best friends. Though she might just find a little more then just comfort.

5 years ago, Prism Bolt's whole life changed. His little brother left home, he got the job of his dreams, and he got married. But one day while flying with his wife Whirlwind, he comes across a Pegasus stallion who is badly hurt. When the stallion shows reluctance to trust Prism, he will need the help of his friends to uncover the past of this stallion and the truth behind why he doesn't trust anyone.

Takes place 5 years after the events of LuminoZero's "Storm Wardens".

OC's from Kilala97, Borsuq, as well as my own OC

Editor: ZeroPony55 (thanks for putting up with my crappy grammar)

This is my first fan-fic so I am open to anything you have to say good or bad. I do have a pretty busy schedule with school and work and all, but I will try to update this story as much as I can. Thanks for your help.

Darkness is spreading over Equestrian. A new foe, unknown to even Celestia is marching on a path of vengeance, and even the elements of Harmony are powerless against him. Twilight learns that there is only one pony who has the skills and knowledge to stop the villain. But there is one problem, no one knows who the pony is or where they are. But Twilight and her friends must act fast, because the darkness grows stronger every second. This is a tale, love, hate, deceit, danger, and most of all darkness.

Additional characters include Discord, Cadence, Shining Armor, and not one but multiple OC's.

A/N: The crossover tag is because I re-purposed a character from a game as the villain. I will put a official authors note at the end of the chapter with his reveal just to make sure there are no copyright issues.
A/N 2: Gore is not present through the entire story, in fact only a few places have gore......just so you know.
