Starlight Glimmer had a painful fall, but she is more than determined to finish what she started. The message of Equality needs to spread across Equestria, and she knows just the mares who can help her...no matter how many years it takes.

But she soon finds out that raising six fillies that still represent the Elements of Harmony is easier said than done.

Following the return of the Crystal Empire, Twilight begins some intensive research into the history of the Empire and its late king. Modern historians know next to nothing about the enigmatic dark mage. Who was he? Did he have family? Loved ones?

The answers to those questions changes everything the Element of Magic knows about herself, and in doing so catches the attention of a shadow that yet clings to the frailty of life...

Russian Translation: Here

It has been sometime ever since Sombra's temporary return in the Crystal Empire and now he is back again to take over all of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle and her friends, old and new, must work together to stop the forces of evil once and for all.

This story takes place after Season 8 and starts off just before Season 9. There is some things that remain true from the actual show and the comics story of King Sombra, while others are slightly changed, or new things are added. I'm glad that the MLP fandom is still strong and hope everyone enjoys

I also have this story available on Wattpad and Archive of Our Own, under the same story title
