Chapter 9 Forthcoming, and a note about our mutual friend, Sombra. · 6:23pm Feb 24th, 2013
Okay, first, let me say this: I know it is February, but chapter 9 of Peace at Last (Which I am calling "Interlude: the Season of Spirits," unless anypony has a better name idea?) will be a Hearth's Warming chapter. so either i'm really late, or incredibly early, depending on the perspective of those reading this.
Chapter 9 actually will take a while to write, mostly because I have to work in the family bonding, the friendships, Changeling history, Red Rimefrost, the draugrs, and Krampus.
But enough about that. enjoy this Ditzy Video (Sparkler is visiting family up in Canterlot.):

On to the second topic: King Sombra.

I know Sombra is a touchy subject, but let's face it, he has been the only legitimately evil antagonist in the series so far (Besides possibly Nightmare Moon). Let's face the facts here:
1.) Nightmare Moon- Tries to plunge Equestria into eternal night... because she felt underappreciated
2.) Discord -caused chaos simply for the sake of chaos but also because he doesn't know how to act any other way
3.) Queen Chrysalis- just trying to feed her subjects
Sombra, on the other hoof, enslaved an entire empire just out of his own obsession, thus making him the most legitimately evil villain in the series thus far
Is he hard to understand? Yes.
Does he look like a bad original character? Yes.
But there's something about this Shadow King which is simply intriguing to some fans, and Sombra deserves some respect.
That is all.
I agree. Sombra does seem like the most evil guy in the series.
"Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis" WHAT!?
Oh come on!
861607 Chrysalis, You weren't evil, remember? you were drunk on love power
Discord, You've reformed, but you haven't really changed.
Nightmare Moon, you are dead.
*Nyx pops up on my shoulder and blows a raspberry at Nightmare Moon*
Nyx: You're not a good villain! HA!
I always thought Sombra was the reason the whole NMM happened.
862071 It was mostly because Luna felt underappreciated because nopony enjoyed her night. if Sombra did have anything to do with it, it was probably only a small part.
ok, I must say: "Our Mutual Friend"... is that a Dickens reference?
863325 More of an "I heard it somewhere but couldn't remember who said it but knew it was appropriate to use as a description" reference, so possibly!

863347 yes, it is quite a gem, isn't it? I just wish Ditzy had more videos with Sparkler and Dinky. Sparkler needs more attention!
