This tale is being done to celebrate the birth of my first complete custom, Darklight. The Dark Rainbow is another name for the Rainbow of Darkness.
Darklight and her siblings were chosen by the guardians to protect the Rainbow of Darkness so that it can never be used by darkness. because of it's corrosive energy, it isn't long before Darklight and her siblings all sport black bodies and dark manes and tails. the only thing that stays bright is their symbols.
Darklight, an alicorn, is the oldest of her siblings and charged with the daunting task of taking care of her siblings and making sure the Rainbow of Darkness stays well below detection by dark beings.
Dark Beauty, a summerwing, is the second oldest. She has the duty of watching the shadows for anything trying to get close to the dark Rainbow.
Dark Knight a male unicorn, is the third oldest of his siblings. His duty is to destroy anything that attempts to touch the power of the Dark Rainbow.
Dark Rain. a battle scared unicorn without a horn, is the fourth oldest of her siblings. Like Dark Knight, She has the power to destroy, but because she doesn't have a horn, her power is weaker then that of her older brother.
Dark Wind and Dark Storm are twin pegasi. Dark Wind is female while Dark Storm is male. their job is to keep the darkness in the sky away from the Dark Rainbow. they are identical, right down to the symbols. they are also the youngest of the dark siblings.
The Guardians, worried that the Dark Rainbow might fall into the wrong hooves, decided to search for a family to protect it. They searched for many years until they found the dark siblings. they agreed to serve the Guardians by protecting the Dark Heart because they knew what could be unleashed within the Dark Rainbow. There was a terrible battle to wrest it out of the hands of evil in which Dark Rain received her scars and lost her horn. She was also the first one to handle the Dark Rainbow, which in thanks, healed her injuries but because it's power was so diluted, it could not erase her scars or return her horn. They hid it away deep inside a mountain where they now live.
She stood, wings opened, letting the sun warm her dark body. As usual, she was the first one up. The sun was just peaking up over the distant ocean, where she could see the first fishing boats heading out to sea. below her, a herd of wild ones gazed on the lush grasses of the valley floor. The wild ones were larger then regular ponies with long slender legs. They were all usually earthlings, with the exception of a unicorn herd up in the far north, and a pegasi herd that lived in the clouds. there was a rumor of a herd of winged unicorns sighted somewhere south. Dark Light sighed. it sucked sometimes, being the only winged unicorn around. Dark Wind and Dark Storm had each other, and Dark Knight still grieved with Dark Rain over the lost of her horn. then there was Dark Beauty, who couldn't care less about her dark colored butterfly wings. We both fly, she had once said, are we so different? It had been Dark Beauty who mastered the art of flying and taught her winged sisters and brother how to fly.
"I thought I would find you out here." Dark Knight stepped out of the cave.
"Knight." Dark Light said in greeting, "How was your watch?"
"Uneventful, as usual." Knight responded.
Dark Light looked back up at the still rising sun. A winged pony shape began to form in the light. Slowly, it revealed itself to have a horn. Dark Light watched it come closer. Soon, She could see dark golden fur and long blood red hair.
"It's the Radiant Lady Sunstar!" Knight cried out.
Sunstar seamed to be falling toward them.
"Somethings wrong! Alert Beauty!" Dark Light took flight and flew toward the falling Sunstar. upon closer expection, Sunstar looked like she had taken a rough beating. blood decorated her coat and her left wing hung frozen. Dark Light caught her on her back.
"Sunstar?" She called.
she got no answer.
"Sunstar?" She tried again, angling toward the cave opening. Beauty joined her, trying to determine what had happened the the Guardian now laying limp on her oldest sister's back. by now, Knight, Wind, Rain, and Storm had gathered at the opening. Sunstar gave a weak gasp.
"Protect... failed... Darkness coming..." She tried to talk.
"Shh, don't try to talk. let's get you patched up first." Beauty said, taking the lead and landing inside the cave. Dark Light landed, and let Sunstar slide off her back carefully. She curled up into fetal position and refused to be touched or tended to.
"I know it hurts, Sunstar." Dark Beauty gave up after a bit, "Can you tell us what happened?"
"Dark forces rising." came the reply, "the Guardians sleep... it's coming..." Her eyes began to close, "barely got here in one piece..." she slipped into unconciousness.
"What's happening, Dark Light?" Storm asked, "I'm scared! If this being was able to defeat the guardians, we won't even last against it!"
"Calm down. We don't even have a clue as to what happened yet. I am going to talk to the Dark Rainbow. Maybe it can shed some light on this." Dark Light rose and walked toward the back wall. this wall looked completely solid, until she passed right through it, revealing the fact it was a hollogram. several minutes later, She stood before the pulsing bag that was the Dark Rainbow.
"Anything?" she asked.
"I have not heard of a being capable of taking out the Guardians. This is worrisome." it pulsed.
"Isn't there anyone who might be able to say, knock out a guardian?" Dark Light tried.
"Besides myself, I can name two. Grogar, and Tirek. the witches and Lavan are not strong enough for something like this." the Rainbow responded.

I love this so far! I always kind of wondered whatever happened to the Rainbow of Darkness!
