It starts way in the past – before Celestia and Luna’s rule, Equestria, the Windigos.

A young Black-furred unicorn with a Blue mane and tail with a Cutie Mark depicting a constellation is mixing some potions in a rather poorly-lit laboratory. She hears a bang and sighs heavily in response, to go help the ‘professors’. She is the only apprentice left to keep up with their bad attitude they would show their apprentices, as one of the 40 professors had adopted her and took her in when she was completely alone and helpless – now, she helps them in any way she can.

When she makes it to the source of the explosion – perplexed by the amount of flashing lights outside the open door, she finds their bodies being absorbed into a white sphere in a storm of light and wind. Shouting, she tries to help the only family she knows out of its pull but fails. Her grip fails her and the last one of them is pulled into the black-hole – like sphere. When all the professor’s minds and bodies are absorbed, she lays down and sobs, thinking that she failed them and believing that they are lost forever – then hears an obscure voice out of nothing, "We... are... Citadel.” The sphere flashes a bright white light engulfing her and everything in the room.

When it recedes, she is gone as well.

Author's Notes:

Here we go! The phrase 'We are Citadel' was supposed to be in old english font, but thats not possible... so we're gonna have to stick with bold Italix. *sigh* that feature was important.
