Once upon a time, the world was a bleak, bleak place with no living things. One morning, though, an alicorn named Evergreen brought life throughout the land, covering it in green. Thinking she was the only pony around, she declared herself ruler. Little did she know there were two siblings of her kind living there too.

One, named Nightingale, was creator of space, the moon, the sun, and all other stars. The younger, Nyx, didn’t have a special talent yet.

One morning, Nightingale and Evergreen crossed paths and instantly fell in love. Nyx grew jealous because she rarely ever got any attention anymore, and finally snapped when the couple married and declared themselves king and queen. It was then she realized what her special talent was: revenge.

The now wicked mare kidnapped Evergreen and threatened to kill all the lush plants and creatures the queen had ever so delicately created. Luckily, King Nightingale managed to rescue his maiden and turned Nyx into a purple mist as punishment. She retreated into the forest and was not seen again until one fateful day.
