Sombra wasn't always an overlord: he used to be a normal pony, like you and me. Well: if you could call the most high-ranked Guardian Mage in the Crystal Empire, who had also caught the eye of the Emperor's daughter normal, that is.

Very well, but be warned...

Some of the worst evils on the world were done with the best intentions.

A short segment of my first take on the History of Equestria. (Yes, I have two complex Equine timeline headcanons. I'm weird that way.)

Main Storyline: When Dark Stone witnesses the Empire slowly turn against a tribe they helped create, he wonders if he should stand by as innocent ponies are brutally murdered.

Secondary Storyline: Starlight volunteers to read an old story to a particular filly, after Twilight failed to make good on her promise. She fights against her haunting past, as the filly slowly reminds her of the life that was taken from her, and the life she lost.

It's been a while since her friend left, but Applejack never forgot. The bond of Friendship is mysterious, and magical. And if it is true: it can never be broken.
