Once long ago this fellow worked, studied and lived within the walls of the Imperial Collage. Day to day life was long and filled with difficult tasks, many unicorns all working to improve there understanding of magic. It's was a new year and this stallion had been working tirelessly to further pony kinds knowledge of alchemy....the great art of potion making. Toiling day and night he finally perfected a purifying tonic to cleanse a pony's body of all aliments. He quickly dashed off to show his friend and mentor Princess Celestia, he slipped into her rooms. Seeing light shining out from under the bathing room door, he hurried over pushing the door open with load thud.....to his surprise Celestia was in fact in the middle of a age old Alicorn right. Stunned by the vision before him he tripped over a lump of cloth strewn across the floor, tossing the poultice up in the air only to have it crash down upon his head. Celestia not pleased by the interruption used her magics to teleport him back the collage grounds. She would speak to him later about intruding on her, but would be shocked to see what became of him. The poultice meant to cleanse burned instead, flesh pulled and bone cracked, blackness spread over him.. He worked endlessly in his study to cure himself of this blight. Unending years passed, thousands of potions made and tried all in vein. Heavyhearted and ashamed he grew more desperate and discouraged with each passing day. Untill one day a young draconequus came to the palace, things where never the same again.
