Text from the Ancient Ever-changing Equestria Book of History and Future Events (a self updating book which constantly rewrites itself once history changes and new prophecies are made), from the restricted vault of Canterlot Castle:

*Once upon a time in the magical land of Equestria there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land.*

A painting is shown of up in the clouds two ponies each with a long horn and wings. One was white with a pink mane and the other one was black with a light blue mane.

*To do this the eldest used her Unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn!*

The white pony is seen using her horn to raise the sun.

*The Younger brought out the moon to begin the night!*

The black pony is seen using her horn to bring up the moon.

*but what is not known is that soon the younger gave birth to a young prince!*

The younger sister is shown sitting down smiling as a black colt with wings, a horn and a dark green mane was sleeping by her legs and was covered by his mother’s wing.

*When he grew older the younger Prince took on the responsibility of making sure harmony was maintained in the dreams of their subjects.*

The Son now older was in the cloud smiling as he looked at the ponies asleep and they dream bubbles showed them frolicking happily in a field or spending time with their friends, family and loved ones.

*but sadly this was not to last as soon the prince’s heart somehow became corrupted by chaos and decided he was bored with maintaining harmony in the dream realm and instead started spreading nightmares in the dreams of the subjects of the land!*

The Prince is shown smirking wickedly, up in the clouds watching down beneath him as the sleeping ponies on the land had scared looks on their faces as they dream bubbles showed them being alone in a forest, about to be eaten or being attacked by monsters.

*Due to the never ending nightmares the prince was giving them the subjects were unable to sleep!*

The ponies on the ground are shown looking tired and very frightened.

*but that wasn’t enough for the corrupted prince! He wanted to have some more fun messing with the subjects and soon began making their nightmares come true in the awake world!*

Up in the clouds the Prince was on his back, laughing wickedly as the Ponies on the ground were being chased by monsters like giant snakes and hydras.

*Soon the sisters found out about this. At first they were skeptical whether it was the Prince behind this, the younger in particularly stubbornly refused to believe her darling son was capable of such evil acts but once they saw with their own eyes what the Prince was doing they knew they had no choice but to act. The elder sister tried to reason with her nephew and the younger practically begged her son to stop the madness but the Prince being too corrupted by the power of chaos ignored them!*

The two sisters are shown talking to the Prince. The elder sister looked concerned; the younger sister was on her knees while the Prince just turned his head ignoring them.

*faced with no other option relucantly the princesses used their powers to banish the Prince into a dark cave.*

The Prince is shown being banished to a cave. The elder sister looks sad while the younger had her head down crying tears for her only son.

*as he was banished the Prince swore he would return and bring nightmares to Equestria!*

The Prince is shown seething as he sits in the cave alone, with a calculating look on his face.

*After he was banished the sisters since they did not have the power to control dreams themselves, managed to cast a spell at their subjects allowing their dreams to run themselves and as such sometimes they would get nightmares and sometimes they would get sweet dreams depending on what was on their minds.*

Ponies on the ground are shown sleeping with their dream bubbles eaither showing a sweet dream or a nightmare.

*more than a thousand years have passed and the Prince is still trapped in the cave he was banished, to but what he doesn’t know yet is that he won’t be trapped there for much longer!*

The Prince is shown sleeping in his cave.

*Modern Day*

Outside the limits of the land of Equestria in a small old abandoned rundown condemned village (which had been abandoned around the time when Princess Luna first became Nightmare Moon) that by some miracle somehow managed to stand even after nopony living there for more than a thousand years, there rested the Changelings who had chosen to use the village as their domains after their failed invasion of Canterlot at the royal wedding a few months ago.

Inside one of the cottages resting in a bed was the Changeling Queen who had managed to absorb enough of the love of Princess Cadence and Shining Armour to stabilise herself and her subjects for the past few months.

The Queen in her bed seethed, if she hadn’t put that meddling unicorn Twilight in the mimes, Cadence wouldn’t have escaped, she and Shining Armor would never have performed their love spell and she and her subjects would be ruling over all of Equestria right now feeding off all of the love they want from the hapless ponies that lived there.

The Queen looked at the subjects in front of her bed looking concerned and worried at their Queen’s current state of distress and they were using their love for their queen to give her more power to stabilise herself.

“It’s alright my children” assured the Changeling Queen as she considered her Changeling hive to be her children “I promise you all soon we will be able to come up with a new plan and strike again! Soon.....very soon indeed!”

The Changeling Queen managed to let out a laugh and her mind began formulating a plan.

Our story rightfully begins far away from the village where the Changelings are, more precisely in the Everfree Forest in Ponyville..... Next Chapter: Chapter 2 Estimated time remaining: 10 Minutes
