Chapter Five

It had been three months after Ferric and Luna trip to the Eternal Lakes. The trip went well both were in dire need of vacation. When they returned they found that Celestia had been bogged down with scrolls and duties that were normally lunas and Ferrics jobs but Whiteflash kept most of Ferrics duties as head guard there was only minor things that happened while they were gone just petty crime a few fights nothing real big. It was only two months away from Hearth’s Warming Eve and preparations were already being made. Ferric was staying on the guards hooves and making sure everything was going to be ready for the safety of everyone on Hearth’s Warming Eve.

Not to long after the return there were some reports of strange activity happening at the Eternal Lakes but they were just there so they didn't think much about but just as precaution he sent a group of guards along with White Flash while he focused on the tasks at hand . White flash and his men reached the Eternal Lakes where the strange activity was reported they noticed that there was strange glow coming from a cave in the mountains so they quickly went to the cave white flash could feel something wrong he quickly ordered his men to stay back they could hear something coming towards them they stood their ground and out the cave the dark ora rushed out and raised to the sky they lept back flying up the ora came back crushing almost all of White Flashes men he ordered the rest to retreat he knew there was no way they could fight this then a final plunge into the sky the day became dark as night the ora shot down into the earth cracking stone and splitting the earth and out of the earth came the fallen Alicorns from the great battle all those years ago where Ferric appeared but these weren't the mighty warriors that fought all those years ago there bodys deformed with dark magic bending them to it's will like puppets the most unholy of dark magic anywhere there was broken bones or flesh missing was replaced with dark crystals stunned with shock White Flash couldn't believe what he was seeing happen before him hundreds and hundreds of fallen undead Alicorn warriors now under the control of Sombra's dark magic he had completed what he had planned all along to posses the power of an Alicorn the spirit of Sombra now has the means to finish what he started to cover all the land in darkness but first a host to fit his thirst of power he chose none other than Astra, Celestia and Luna's father bending His body to be one of Sombras likness White Flash quickly took what was left of his men and started to fly back to warn the Ferric what was coming but his men were quickly dispatched thrown to the side by a Alicorn in crimson armor with black coat it was Shadowfell is armor broken and neck torn from the battle that happened all that was there was rage and fury White Flash whent to defend himself but was struck to the ground and with Shadowfell’s hoof over his throat crushing his windpipe he prepared himself to strike the final blow then he was commanded to stop by Sombra he took his hoof of White's throat coughing gasping for air he was pinned down again by Sombra

Sombra “ Tell our good friends that it's time for reunite oh and just for little souvenir”

He chopped of one of White Flashes mens heads off .

Sombra “ Here give this to them a personal gift from an old friend now go before it's your head i send them”

Flash quickly got up began to walk past Sombra and Shadowfell Shadowfell snarled at Flash being robbed of his kill but he will have his prey

White barely made it back to canterlot Ferric was training the guards in the courtyard and he saw them and Ferric spotted him battered and bloody he flew up to him grabbing him and slowly taking him to the courtyard commanding his men to get the medic White Flash barely able to hold his head up he was only able to mutter a few words “Ferric he's back” “who” said Ferric

“Sombra” then White Flash passed out from losing to much blood and the pain Ferric shocked and now angered he ordered his men to get him to the healers he wanted to stay with his friend but he must tell Celestia and Luna and start gathering and preparing the army he flew towards the palace .

He reached the palace and went to to the throne room to tell luna celestia what has transpired at the eternal lakes he didn't want to dare say sombras name again but he met the two and told them.

Celestia ‘ What how could this be we destroyed him’

Ferric ‘ Not according to what White Flash said Sombras even more powerful than ever and even a bigger threat than ever”

Luna” then we can't wait any longer we must gather the army once again “

Celestia “ Yes we must make haste we can spare a moment for him to threaten equestria

Ferric “We don't know what we could be facing we can't afford to be reckless in this dark hour maybe White Flash could tell us more of what sombras power has become or what forces he may have”

All the sudden the throne room darkened and flash of fire that blinded everyone and from the fire appeared was Shadowfell the first words he said as he looked at Ferric

Shadowfell “ So nice to see you again “ He paced in a circle around Ferric with a grin

Ferric “ Who are you “

Shadowfell “ What you don't remember me well maybe this will make you remember

He revealed his broken and bloodied armor where it had been crushed from Umbra all those centuries ago

Shadowfell “ Now do you remember me “

Ferric” Yes I remember you. You were the one in crimson armor that tried to save me from Umbra”

Shadowfell “ Yes and have you ever thought about how painful it was to have those teeth bite down on your throat breaking your armor and crushing your windpipe then not even giving the courtesy to finish you off thrown to side where I was left to bleed and suffocate to death all alone nothing to do except wait for death in excruciating pain. I will never forget what I felt that day nor will I fall to such weakness again .

Shadowfell lunged forward to strike at Ferric. Ferric quickly blocked his attack and hit him to the ground .

Ferric “ I will only ask you once leave and tell your master that we will meet him for this war he so clearly wants” .

Shadowfell “ He growled then found himself pinned by Ferrics spear to the back his head.

“ Very well Will leave oh and make sure that your friend Whiteflash is there for I wouldn't want to not finish the job hahahAHHHH!!!!!! .

Ferric had been angered now with his spear buried in Shadow Fells shoulder “ Go and i will not ask again the next one will go through your skull NOW GO!!! .

A dark aura surrounded Shadow Fell and he was soon covered with it and then disappeared . Ferric quickly turned and said “ we must prepare for an all out war . Anyone who is able to fight we will need. For this is a fight we cannot loose or else all of Equestria will be covered in darkness forever . And so the order was given to assemble the biggest army for the biggest war that will ever take place in Equestrian history . The only thing left is to wait for the impending battle.
