Not that long ago, Twilight, while investigating her friend's rather bizarre capacity to predict the future, found herself engulfed in flames.

Now she's engulfed in flames again. Don't worry though. She did it on purpose this time.

Twilight was generated here and set on fire using Inkscape.

Princess Celestia has become quite worried about her dear friend when she has started acting unlike herself. She has a hunch that the newest resident of Ponyville is to blame.

There is a Russian translation about this story, Celestia's story and Luna's story on FicBook, PonyFiction and Tabun.

Twilight Sparkle has failed at getting the Crystal Heart in time, letting the former king, who enslaved the entire kingdom over a thousand years before, return to take over the Empire.

Now, with the Crystal Heart permanently gone, Twilight is now bound to King Sombra for all eternity...

Because of this, it even left the only pony who can save her, her loved ones, and the empire, powerless against him.

Her fears come to life when it turns out to be none other than Sombra. Will this ambitious Princess and the snarky loner be able to refrain from killing each other? Ancient magic awakens and history becomes vivider and its participants a little too alive as things play out.

Twilight Sparkle wasn't expecting Sombra to be there when she woke up in her cage, not that she was expecting the cage in the first place.

But even if she had guessed correctly on those two outcomes, the conversation that followed was unexpected. Especially his views on ruler-ship.

King Sombra has returned, conquered the Crystal Empire and has Twilight at his mercy. Now, Twilight needs to do everything to get out of the place she is trapped and save the Crystal Empire of Sombra. But when King Sombra confronts Twilight, he ends up finding in the mare that tried to stop him a queen to rule the Crystal Empire with him.

After his second death, Sombra eventually comes to live in a small town away from the memories with a young Princess. He is reluctant at first to accept the her hand in friendship, however, as he grows accustomed to his new environment he learns to understand the ties that bind him.

Full series pending...

When a blizzard descended upon the Crystal Empire, everypony felt their fear of the unknown return. Twilight and her friends were instantly on the next train, and found the Crystal Empire almost as if it had never been saved in the first place. Fortunately, the crystal ponies were standing strong against the onslaught, and their city was not in danger.

That did not mean Twilight was not in her own danger, as she walked the short distance to the protected part of the capital.
