My name is Captain Dusk. I used to be the commander of the 6. Before they came and destroyed it all. The 6 were a small group of ponies, chosen by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to guard the Elements of Harmony with their lives. It was a tradition that dated back thousands of years, in the time of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. For generations, the descendants of the original 6 would take place of the former guardians and, thus, becoming guardians themselves. I was a descendent of Twilight, the first leader. It was my duty to lead the 6 into battle when the time called and to guard the most powerful element of all. Magic. But those times are gone now. All that remains now is the tattered ruins of a once great land. They came and and destroyed it all, burning every town, city and village they could get their hands on. We tried to resist, but it was useless. We were defeated. I’m all that remains. All I can do now is tell the story of how they came. Before any of this. Before they destroyed Equestria.
