Mira Star

Chapter 1: Only the Beginning

My existence, you could say, was a complete accident. Hell, I'm still not even sure if I truly have an existence. I'm what the rest of Equestria calls a Darksider- A pony created from the lost made into physical form. In the end, even the circumstances that brought me into reality are beyond unlikely, yet here I am, alive. If you truly want to know more, I'll tell you.

My name is Mira Star, and this is my story.

I awoke outside the walls of the universe, looking out into pitch black darkness.

I felt numb, lifeless, and to tell the truth, I honestly was lifeless in that moment- I didn't even have a heart. My mind and eyes were the first to develop, and when I could finally feel my body in all its details, the first sensation I got was wind, pushing at me from underneath. I was falling. I could specifically remember screaming, as my body flew down towards nothing. I thought there was no way anything physical existed in the void. However, I was proven wrong moments later, when something faded into view below me.

Something white, shiny, and seemingly glowing. It looked to me like a large, gret crystal-like structure, suspended by nothing but air.

As I approached this crystal, I began slowing down before feeling my body shift around, my hooves lining up with the gravity of the hard crystal surface, and a few seconds later, I placed my hooves on its surface. Gravity take hold of me soon after, leaving me standing there, looking around the emptiness. That is until my gaze caught on a small, glowing object in the distance.

Another, much smaller crystal was floating small ways away, with two strange lights seeming to orbit it slowly.

Just then, a bright light flew past me, slowly. It was another, much bigger stream of light that seemed to go around this large crystal I was standing on, just like that other, smaller one. Whatever it was, it was more than strange.

After I was done watching the lights orbit, I trotted over to the tip of the crystal, examining it. I noticed that there was a small, spike that was poking out of the tip, spinning around in a circle very quickly. Like a fool, I picked it up, only to examine it further. It felt smooth, and there was no form of any kinds of bumps. It was completely smooth and gave off a small white glow that seemed to be shifting.

Kinda like a unicorn's horn when they used magic. But, before I could think more on it, I felt the solid ground below me begin to shake violently, before the large stream of light that was still circling the crystal I was on, begin to fall apart into black dust, that quickly faded away. Just as all light faded, the ground began falling apart, crumbling into dust, the flew out in all directions, until it had completely vanished, leaving me falling into nothing again. After a couple moments though, a bright light exploded below me, as I fell through it, and into a large, glowing city with a large castle sticking out of a tall mountain. And that's when my adventure truly began.

The moment I appeared in the large city of Canterlot.

Canterlot. The shining capital of Equestria, filled with lively ponies, minding their own business as they trot around into shops, and houses. All of this, I could see from above as I fell towards a dark alley. I must have looked like a shooting star to them, considering my speed, but I don't even remember them looking at me. Maybe I was moving too fast for them to notice me, or maybe they just didn't care to look up, but I knew that if I didn't find a way to slow down, I'd crash into the ground in a large, bloody mess.

Fortunately, my prayers to live where answered, when I suddenly began slowing down as I neared the ground, before completely stopping just above the surface. I just floated there for a few moments, until my hooves made contact with the ground, and gravity had a hold on me again. I was breathing heavily, if I can remember, having to lean on a wall for balance as I caught my breath.
