Backstory: Hello everypony, this is the tale(poem) of my life.<br /> <br />As you all know,<br />this is the tale of my hollow heart.<br />My name is Scarlet Letter, <br />I am a pony of elegance with tales that bring great sorrow,<br />now listen,<br />I do not have time,<br />for I must leave by tomorrow.<br />It was a long long time ago,<br />since I lived in Canterlot,<br />living my life like any other pony....<br />Until that day...,<br />chaos has struck all of Equestria.<br />The skies were as gray as the soul of Nightmare Moon,<br />the apple trees were as bedridden and rotten as Chrysalis's hatred for Celestia,<br />the animals were no longer the same,<br />their eyes were as red as the blood in my veins<br />and their fur was as blue as the night sky.<br />What in Equestria...?<br />I ran and ran looking for my loved one,<br />I yelled out at the top of my lungs,<br />"O Lyra, Lyra! Wherefore art thou Lyra!"<br />I searched and searched, <br />but Lyra was nowhere to be found.<br />I beckoned,<br />"Who has caused all this?"<br />I gasped,<br />for it was King Sombra!<br />I was frustrated and furious,<br />I let my emotions get the better of me.<br />That is what Sombra wanted.<br />More chaos.<br />More hatred.<br />More sorrow.<br />Then I saw the ruthless villain,<br />he was uttering complete nonsense I thought,<br />until I saw his horn glow a bright red.<br />"Oh no! I must get away!"<br />I tried to escape,<br />but I was too late,<br />I was hit.<br />I laid there unconsciously,<br />only to wake up a few hours later.<br />I look down at my hooves....<br />"What...what has happened to me!"<br />My fur was of an odd color,<br />my mane was a deep red with pools of a black abyss.<br />I looked down again only to notice something around both of my hooves.<br />"Anklets?"<br />I tried to remove them, <br />they couldn't come off.<br />Then it hit me!<br />Sombra has cursed me!<br />These anklets are keeping me this way.<br />I must find Sombra!<br /> <br /> <br />3 Years Later...<br /> <br /> <br />Three years have passed,<br />I've yet to find Sombra or Lyra.<br />I KNOW they are both alive.<br />So I've wandered aimlessly from city to town to village in hope of finding...<br />that fiend!<br />But,<br />I also hope to find my only love Lyra.<br />Where is she?<br />How is she?<br />Is she also searching?<br />Only time will tell.<br /> <br />Three little fillies were listening to Scarlet's tale only to be left in tears and awe. "Hey, that was so cool Mr.!" said one little filly. I'm glad you think so...Scarlet Letter faded away....The little fillies were left astonished at the sight of seeing the young stallion fade away. "He was a spirit the entire time!?" said another little filly. "Woah!" said the two other fillies. <br />Questions left unanswered: Did Scarlet ever find Lyra? Was the curse ever lifted? Was equestria saved from Sombra's reign? Nopony knows...<br />
