Twenty years. Twenty years trapped in that ungodly hell of stone for a second time. Twenty years of plotting my revenge, of making the ones who trapped me again suffer. I thought that I would be stuck in my prison for eternity.
But soon, I was free.
I was confused at first. In Equestria, mundane order and boring harmony exists. Not lovely discord and mayhem. So what could have released me from my torment?
Then, I felt the pull.
Never have I felt such a pull since my reign of chaos millennia ago. It called to me, a sweet song. I followed it, over mountains and plains. Miles and miles of lush, fertile land; peace. It made me sick.
But then, I saw it.
A place where green turned into sickly brown. Where trees were blown from their roots and lay dead in the ground. Where craters dotted the landscape. A place where the stench of death hangs heavy in the air.
I knew what this was. It was war.
Two armies clashed on the field. On one side, those sickenly sweet ponies. On the other, I could not tell. A whistle was blown. The ponies left their holes and charged at the enemy. They were cut down at an instant by fire. And in my mind, one thought was prevalent.
