I had to cut out 5K or more to make this fit into one chapter, and it JUST squeezes into the proper size.

Set after the changeling invasion of Canterlot, Applejack hears from Princess Luna the ancient history before Equestria, before the three Tribes, even before the Age of Myths itself. The origins of Tirek, and his relationship with his brother Scorpan are revealed.

Learn how dark magic entered the world.

Pinkie Pie, "MORE FRESH AIR?! YES YES YES! Okay everypony, sorry this took forever, but hopefully you all enjoy the show!"

Mirror breathed out a long, soft sigh, and I found myself sympathizing with the truth-fanatic.  "Yeah." She looked right at me. "But like Princess Luna, I'd say we all got our burdens to bear even after the Elements put our heads back on straight."
Not-Twilight lowered herself into a battle stance. "Everypony, get ready! She won't be using polite pretenses now that things have gone off-script!"
"You'd think she'd do something to Sweetie Belle and the others?" asked Banneret, with Rarity-like concern.
"She wouldn't kill them, she's still Fluttershy," I assured the big guy.
"Not without Nigtmare Eclipse there whisperin' in her ear that it's the kindest thing she could do, and she's sane enough to realize it was all hogwash . . . which might be the reason," Nightmare Mirror said.
It was like a brick to the chest, I felt staggered, even without moving from
