Immortality.
 
A gift, a curse, a disease that can't be cured.
These things I give onto thee
What little remains to be seen.
I have stopped counting the days
The nights themself seem a bit strained.
 
Upon my highly placed throne do I sit
Amongst gods and goddesses
As the god of shadow and darkness
But not as the god of the night
For there is another who fills such a position
And she does well to remember
That the night is peaceful
And I am not.
 
I have slewn thousands of my own kind with my might
Sullied and burned my own kingdoms with delight
And in a single instance, my curse grew.
From just eternal life, to magnificent power of all kinds
Except the light, for it is my bane.
Yet none who wield it live today
Save one alicorn and her might
I do not fear her
For in my eyes she is but a hatchling
I do not underestimate her
For in my eyes she has grand potential
 
I spend my never ending days as her unwitting guard
As a pegasus of jet colored mane and charcoal coat
And she seems never the wiser to what I truly am
Though I know there will come a day
Where she and I must part
But I shall find her again
And do the hard work
Of becoming a guard
 
Because when I stand by her side and watch over her court
I feel what I have not felt in eons
The warmth of the sun
And though the world has become dull to me
She has not
