My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

Legend of Lightningborn and the Shadow

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lightningborn, Lightningborn, by his honor is sworn
To keep the dark shadows at bay!
And the truest friends rise when they see him in the skies,
Lightningborn, for your coming we pray!

Hearken now, hoarders of gold, to a tale yet untold
Of that dark, monstrous one!
Kin to both dragons and the races equine,
With a power to darken the sun!

With dark magic the foul sorcerer made tragic,
All our hopes and our dreams!
His great evil loomed unmatched,
Reveling to the sound of the baby dragon screams!

Lightningborn, Lightningborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep this evil forever at bay!
And the truest friends rise when they see him in the skies,
Lightningborn, for your coming we pray!

And this dragon has told of red eyes in the cold,
Waking with grasping claws unfurled!
Shadow, Bane of Dragons, ancient evil unbound,
With a hunger to swallow the world!

But a day, shall arise, when the kirin dead lies,
That a new power into the world will shine!
Equestria will be free from the Devourer's maw!
Lightningborn will save all equine!

Lightningborn, Lightningborn, by his honor is sworn,
To keep this evil forever at bay!
And the truest friends rise when they see him in the skies,
Lightningborn, for your coming we pray!
Here's a little Christmas present to tide you all over until the next chapter. This here is an ancient legend from within the dragon empire. What it means is long lost in time.

And yes, it is plot-relevant. >:3

:star::star::star::star::star: Impact

Vision: It would seem from this adaptation of Skyrim that the dragons yearn for salvation by somepony a lot like Lancer at a time a lot like where they all are now; I'm not quite sure which of the villains Shadow is supposed to be quite yet but I have a suspect in mind.

Originality: Although the source material for the piece comes from a known source, there's enough of the mythology woven in it to make it its own thing.

Technique: Although in the world itself, the events are obscure, those of us reading it have a fair idea of what is going to happen when Lightningborn does arrive.

Impact: Seems to me that their prayers are going to be answered and the prophecy fulfilled.
