The self-proclaimed “king” of dark magic, Nightmare was once named Wistful Dream. He was jealous of the amount of power a select few ponies had, the princesses in particular, and found himself overcome with that jealousy. His once purple coat began to consume itself with black, even his cutie mark consumed, and his horn began to emit a small amount of light, turning a soft eggshell white colour. His eyes, too, glowed, radiating the same light. It seemed the darkness had become his friend. He decided he needed a partner in crime, and what better than to raise his own? He broke into the Canterlot hospital and snatched up the first foal he saw. He took it upon himself to run far away, all the way to the Arctic North, where he would raise the foal and himself in the name of black magic, learning as many spells as he could. He began to believe cutie marks were a sin, and raised the foal with those same standards, never allowing the pony to develop one. He swore to himself that one day he’d rip the cutie marks right off the flanks of every pony in Equestria.. but not yet. Oh, no. Not yet.
