However, when a young heir comes up with the most absurd solution, it just might have a chance to stop the cycle. But will it? Follow along as two polar opposites clash and discover their true desires.

Glad ya like it! I already have the second chapter ready but I'm holding onto it for a few days so I can get a bit of an update schedule going. Stay tuned!

10724492
Thanks! Chapter 2 will release soon so stay tuned!

Nice story picture, and profile picture.:heart:

Thank you! I'd recommend you check out @MalinRaf1615 on deviantart. She's a good friend and the artist who made both of them.

this...this sounds interesting...

10729842
Thank you! The next chapter will release soon, so stay tuned!

i love the end of chapter 2 so much

10739698
Glad you like it! Chapter 3 is coming soon and is gonna be even more interesting!

A fantastic chapter, the story is quite good, it is an unusual pairing, but in my opinion well received, I already want to know more.:twilightsmile::raritywink::scootangel:
Will you raise the story to an M rating at some point? Because I would not care.:pinkiehappy::heart:

Honestly I've considered it, but I've also been trying not to make the story too mature as My Little Pony is above all else meant as a children's show. That being said, however, I did imply some pretty mature things in this chapter so I might have to.

Thanks for the review by the way! I really appreciate it!

Cheers,

Bro is this your first story? Or is it the only story you shown?

10761599
Well it's my first MLP story. I have experience writing for other fandoms but this is indeed my first story for this fandom. I plan to make a couple fanfics in the future as well but this one was on my mind for a while so I decided to write it first.

Also, nice profile name by the way 😏
I love Soundgarden and Black Hole Sun is definitely my favorite of their songs.

Cheers,

Wow, I thought these stories were never coming back, I'm glad to hear that you haven't abandoned the story. I hope you're okay and have managed to manage everything.

Indeed, I had a whole lot of things bombard me all at once so I had to see to all of them before focusing on fanfictions. Either way I'm glad to see you still love the story!

“I’m off to find a decent ring.” He stated while trotting off for good.

Was that an "A tale of two rulers" reference?

This story is fantastic, man! Exploring this side of Sombra is so intriguing.

The more I read into it, the more parallels I notice with "A Tale of Two Rulers" were you per chance inspired by it?

11004615
It is. I took a bit of inspiration from Figment Forms' online Zelda Comic on tumblr.

11004647
I was indeed inspired by FigmentForms' online comic. It inspired a bit of the plot and a few lines here and there. Otherwise it was an idea that I conceived of when I read the MLP comics about Sombra's origins. He's easily one of my favorite characters in the series solely based on his design and had so much potential. More so than a lot of other mlp characters. In any case yes, I did take a bit of inspiration from 'A Tale of Two Rulers'

11004796
I always loved that comic! Which is also why I Hated, how they portrayed him in the show!

I appreciate this fic even more now

Huh,how curious,I left this story alone some time and nearly forgot about it,but it’s seems that I did kind of right,as a hiatus striked,but now I’m really eager to Know what is next,so…yeah.

It took a while but it was worth it. I hope all the best in your personal life.

Absolutely worth the wait! You really put a lot of thought into this! I'm getting addicted to this story!

11260342
Thanks a bunch! Already working on Chapter 6 so that will release soon. I promise it'll be even more fun :rainbowdetermined2:

is this gonna be a multi book series of just this one? if its a multi book then i guess im in for the long haul.

11265281
I'm not entirely sure yet if it'll be multiple stories but I do know that this one will be about 10-15 chapters long. In any case I hope you've liked reading it so far!

Man I’m so happy this is back, and even happier to hear that things are going fine on your side over there! Always good hearing a fellow fan of this series wetting W’s In life.

11266571
Thanks! Things are indeed looking up lately and I've been loving getting back into this story and completing it for you guys. I'm especially going to enjoy writing the next few chapters with some familiar cameos and fun moments. Stay tuned for more!

“You’re only trying to tame me like a monster! Give me one decent reason that I should not destroy you for this insult!” He ordered with rage as his formed began to shift to a more shadow-like presence.

This part right here is why this story is amazing. And it has a complexity normal stories are very few stories have. A villain character who has a complex character. This simple sentence alone expresses what he thinks about himself in the world. "You’re only trying to tame me like a monster!" This makes it very clear he does not see himself as a monster even though he probably understands what he has done would be sent it wrong.

11266954
Thank you! It is an interesting paradox indeed. The point is to show how every villain is the hero of their own story and how they believe they are right. Sombra I feel is a character that believes himself to be above others but does not see himself as a monster. It lines up with his arc in the comics where he has visions of himself as a tyrant and he fears it coming to fruition. In any case, thanks for the nice comment! Hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

this is getting more interesting

11267073
Yep, and it only goes uphill from here. There'll be a few familiar cameos in the next few chapters and a lot more fun.

11270687
Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it! Chapter 7 is coming out very soon too!

If you need an OC to borrow, let me know.

11272380
If I were to borrow an OC it would either have to be a Pony living in the Crystal Empire, Canterlot, or Ponyville. They'd also have to be fairly regular and tame with their abilities. They'd be more of a background character than anything else. I'll reach out to you about this.

Madam Umbara is a very love-to-hate villain, I dig it!

11272906
That's the whole point :trixieshiftright: . Glad you like it and thanks for reading!

11273566
Thank you! I tried to change up the perspective for a change and let Sombra have his time to shine or rather time to darken. In any case, thank you for reading it!

11273691
Haha villain puns nice :yay:
