"Gollum" - did you mean "golem", a clay creature? Because Gollum is a character from LOTR.

Thank you for catching. I’ve made the correction.

Looks like you missed one instance.

The wind carried the pulsating neon green and dark purple orb upwards in an arc outside of the barrier and into the clay Gollum Starswirl had formed from the earth.

Thank you again.

I have updated my precious (story) :rainbowlaugh:

It's good to see Sombra getting some love.

Starswirl's playing a dangerous game, let's see how this works out for him.

“Help us into their stomachs you mean.” The colt quipped, rolling his eyes as he marched alongside the unicorn.

The 't' should be lowercase, and the period after 'mean' should be a comma instead. This basic issue is called formatting said tags, and you can find more about how to correct it in the writing guide here.

“Walk!!!” Sombra asked incredulously. “Are you insane??!! There’s no way we can walk there. Look at all that lava! We’re not fireproof, unless there is something you forgot to mention.”

Don't use multiple punctuation marks. You only needed one of each of these.

Sombra blushed, a bit cowed by the remark. Starswirl struck a nerve with the remark. But Sombra was … concerned. There was a big difference between tackling something like this in his normal body with all its powers than facing it in his current form. “It’s not fear if it’s rational. Ponies aren’t dragons. We will burn if we touch the lava.”

There should be no space after "was" and between the ellipses.

“I certainly don’t want to anger the...poor fellow.” The final words were conveyed with far too little sincerity.

Always have one space after the ellipses.

All of these are peppered throughout your story, but the good news is that each is a beginner mistake that is easy to fix. Your spelling and grammar look fine otherwise.

Okay, now this is just begging for a sequel. You also might want to consider updating the series tags to include the comics and Equestria Girls.
