In the land under the twilight...

In the land under the Twilight lived the pony beings known as "the Supreme". They were Alicorns who had been covered in either pure light or pure dark. Originally the two groups of Alicorns lived in peace and neither of the two quarelled. The ponies of the light were ruled by a just stallion by the name of Helios. Helios made sure that the land was teaming with life and energy. The ponies of the dark followed a  wonderful mare by the name of Helba. Helba created peaceful nights and made sure that things followed the natural order of life and death. It was quite the utopia of Alicorns... until one fateful day Queen Helba disappeared from her throne. Without anypony to take her place her sister, Morganna took a hold of the position. Unlike Helba, Morganna despised the ponies of light and used every thing she learned from the "book of darkness" to launch a ferocious attack on the land of light. There were ponies that followed her unconditionally and then there were ponies that refused to join in the attack. Those that refused were confined underground. The land of light retaliated with Helios summoning the power of the book of light. Many lives were lost and the war rages on to this very day.

BkD Vol.1

There was a loud rumble in a cavern. Rocks and dust dropped and there were loud yells of anguish. A dark purple alicorn yelled to his group of miners, "who the heck detonated the light canisters?!". The group checked their wagon which was supposed to be carrying their supply of light canisters. Light canisters could be set off to blow away pieces of dark earth and they had been using them sparingly to mine energy crystals for Queen Morganna. They realized that all the canisters had gone missing. The dark purple alicorn scratched his beard and frowned, "what the buck...?" little did they know hiding in the shadows a jet black alicorn with crimson red eyes and a slightly sparkling mane was smirking. He had 3 little straight white lines as a cutie mark. He held the last bit of of the canisters under his left hoof as he creeped in and out of the shadows. He muttered to himself as he got the exit of the cavern, "that should stop them from getting anymore energy crystals for a while... and these I can use" he grinned as he dropped them into his saddle pack, "not a bad day's work for Jet Black~ Screw Morganna, my aliance is with Queen Helba". Jet was about to flap his wings and take off when he felt something sharp and metal tapping his shoulder. Jet held his hooves up, and chuckled, "what's the matter Morganna lapdog? you could have easily taken my head, are you still scared?" "You should know by now... traitor, I, Tarvos the Avenger, though totally into avenging... am loyal to my mistress. She has ordered me to capture you alive" Tarvos tapped his sword against Jet's cheek. Jet laughed, "my how the wave of destruction has fallen low," he disappeared into the ground which had a large shadow from the exit of the cavern. Within the shadows he summoned a short blue crystal sword. He then, with great force, pushed himself up into the air over the still stunned Tarvos, "sorry, but I do not wish to meet with the false queen today! Spiral Swords!" he yelled as he held the blue crystal sword out infront of him and spun around. The result of him spinning around created after images of the spiral sword itself, which all materialized into physical versions of themselves. He then controlled the spiral swords with his magic and spun them around himself as Tarvos leaped up into the air after Jet. Tarvos swung his sword towards Jet and was met with 3 different glowing blue swords. There were 3 other swords hovering around Tarvos as well, "grhk...?" "hmhm...and you fashion yourself a sword master?" Jet had his back turned to Tarvos with a large grin on his face, "listen Tarvy save yourself the trouble and just turn around a leave today eh? We are both busy stallions and I don't think you wanna end up in the medical ward". Tarvos gritted his teeth in rage as he parried the three swords and swung at the three glowing blue swords around him. Jet shrugged and sighed, "very well" he held out his right hoof. Jet unsheathed a  gold gilded broad sword from a materializing scabbard which had landed in his right hoof, "let's play... Excalibur" Jet's eyes flashed a bright red as he turned into a shadowy black blur and appeared behind Tarvos who's eyes grew wide, "what the...ugh!?" Tarvos barely had time to cough in pain as he watched his own sword shatter to pieces infront of him. He felt a sharp pain across his chest as well as something hard hit his spine. Consiousness left Tarvos as he went limp and fell to the ground. Jet shook his head as he tossed the Excalibur into the air and sheathed it in it's scabbard. The sword glowed for a moment and disappeared. Jet snorted a little, "told ya... should have just let me go, after all, I have mastered the art of the 'all swordstallion' and I hold the key to Gilgamesh's chest". Jet flapped his wings and started for the sky then stopped dead in his tracks as he watched a bright white arrow fly high above him, "what the hay?" Jet watched as the white arrow flew further and further till it reached the tallest pillar of the Castle of Dark. The arrow hit something hard and dissolved. Jet thought to himself as he continued to fly, "the land of light is getting kinda gutsy... that's gonna make Morganna angrier than a hornet's nest shaken up. Well... not my problem".

-----Later in the deepest part of the Ebony Forest-----

Jet smiled as he landed infront of a gate and tapped on it 3 times, "yo! Yggdrasil! Ragnarok! I'm home!" the gate opened to two smiling mare alicorns, one was green with a mane that looked like emerald green leaves, the other was red with a firey mane , "welcome home big brother!" the green mare hugged Jet, "aw thanks Yggdrasil". The red mare lifted an eye brow and asked "so did you get em?" Jet nodded and held up the saddle pack filled with the light canisters, "course I did, you should trust your big bro a little more", "psh yeah, remember the last time? You managed to blow all of the canisters up... but I guess you did good, common in and rest up, we made dinner". Jet winced a little remembering the last mission Ragnarok had reminded him of. He had accidently dropped one of the light canisters on top of all the other light canisters and needless to say he had to wear shades for a month before his eyes had readjusted. They had been collecting the light canisters to blow up the barrier around Castle  of Dark and start a Coupe. A lot of ponies disliked the way Morganna had been leading the land of dark and absolutly hated living underground but they did not have the resources or fighting skills to retaliate. Jet and his sisters felt like it was time to liberate them. Ragnarok threw a towel over to Jet as she counted the canisters inside of the saddle pack, "that makes a thousand, think it'll be potent enough to take down the barrier?" "Nah we need at least a thousand more..." Jet sighed as he wiped his hooves and his face. Yggdrasil set the table and put down a large bowl of salad and a vegitable pot pie next to it, "you always work so hard Jet... we should come with you the next time, we can fight too you know?" "I don't want you two to get hurt.. and besides somepony has to hold down the fort" Jet responded. Ragnarok cracked her neck a little and clopped her hooves together, "I dunno bro, I really wanna crack some skulls, I don't have the name Ragnarok for nothing ya know". Jet laughed, "I'm lucky to have such two loving and caring sisters. Well tell ya what, if the next area is a bit safer, I'll bring you two along if you'd like" "AW HELLS YEAH!" Ragnarok grinned. Yggdrasil held a hoof in the air and cheered, "don't worry big brother, with us around you'll be invincible!". Ragnarok started to eat and the three chatted into the night and planning on where to get more of the canisters.

-----Castle of Light Earlier------

A white alicorn mare with shimmering crystal mane rubbed a small cloth over her emerald green long bow. She had a cutie mark with 3 black stripes. "Pure White, that was an amazing shot!" a smiling silver alicorn mare commented. Pure shook her head, "I still don't know why Helios asked me to do this, Quick Silver... it'll only provoke the Darklings". Quick Silver shrugged, "at least you did what Helios asked, now we just leave it to the Seraphs". Pure shook her head, "I still want to know... what happened to Queen Helba... she couldn't have just given the throne over to Morganna like that, things were so peaceful 100 years ago". Quick Silver put a hoof on Pure's shoulder and said, "well... we have to live in the present Pure, like it or not the Darklings are our enemies now", to which Pure nodded solemly, "I'll do my duty, don't worry about that".
I suppose my readers are a little surprised at a brand new title in terms of story writing I have put up! Don't worry Dawn Bell will get a new chapter soon enough. I have all the ideas in my head for the next Dawn Bell chapter but I haven't been able to connect them all together. I have been thinking about one particular character and I was going to introduce him much later but... I kind of got excited and thought of a story for him. This particular story will be much shorter but it'll connect some things to Dawn Bell. I am hoping my readers will enjoy this little side story. BkD is short for "Book of Darkness".

Well right on! This was one hell of a surprise to come to before work, and boy, is it a good one! Funny, cause I've been fixin' up all the other things I've written thus far, and in the process of 'Re-Mastering' them, so that when the time comes, the public will get the best experience they can get!
I am very curious about the Seraphs...a name like that just rings
