Next big project is out! Hooray! (Includes excerpt) · 2:45pm Jun 16th, 2016
About a month or so ago I hinted at a large project of 10,000+ words coming soon. Well, now it's out and this has got to be one of my favorite stories so far. It's epic. It's witty. It's also very tragic with plenty of drama that's become a staple of my stories. While the barest concept (Sombra's banishment) is nothing new, this of course is filled with many twists and turns. There's plenty of backstories and battles and unlike many of my other stories it's not a sequel but it is a gateway* to some of my other works. There's also plenty of new lore for you Icy fans. Please be sure to upvote if you fave it.
Anyway, get the stuff below the break.
*Did I just make my stories sound like drugs?
Before Luna became Nightmare Moon, there was Discord, and before there was Discord there was Sombra, the tyrant King of the North a foe who was vanquished without the Elements, but by the Two Sisters with a magic all their own. They lost a city, it was taken by the mad king's magic.
After years among the three pony tribes the Two Sisters fight their first great foe by themselves: King Sombra, the tyrant King of the Crystal Empire. Nothing goes as planned, everything, and everypony are not as they seem.
Excerpt:
There through the barrages of snowflakes was the hint of radiant white light shining forth and framing the pure white coat of an angelic winged being. Princess Celestia entered from that light, her horn aglow with golden aura and her mane and tail rushes of vibrant and bright color. Her expression was stern as she surveyed her dismal surroundings. When her hooves touched the mountains’ surface the heat of her magic dissolved the snow.
Celestia held a tattered sheath in the grip of her magic, and without so much as a glance in her sister's direction she tossed the object towards Luna and looked out at the city before them, magenta eyes brimming with concern for all the ponies trapped under the reign of such a foe.
Luna's own magic caught the sheath and withdrew a familiar sword of plain silver. She slipped the correct loop on the sheath's harness over her head. It was nice to have something familiar.
"I take it that this was just in case?" Luna asked, her voice low. During her time in disguise Luna had temporarily adopted the singular pronouns and smoother language used by the Crystalline Citizens.
Celestia didn't answer her question. "What hast thou learned of the tyrant?"
Upon their joint coronations as Princesses of Equestria, Celestia and Luna had both combined their constant usage of the majestic plural with the common language used by Equestrians. Very rarely did they ever revert to any other speech.
"Not much," Luna confessed, "He never appeared, all I know of him is that he is mad, bloodthirsty, and sadistic with a nature that cannot be predicted. It is said that the wind's howl is nothing more than an effect of his crazed and constant laughter, yet from what I do know about him it is that he appears to have no control over the weather. The constant storms seem to be a result of something else.
Celestia displayed no visible reaction but merely uttered, "We see," obviously disappointed with what she considered to be a lack of adequate knowledge on her sister's part.
There was a brief pause between the strangers that had once been family, yet only Luna noted this.
"What will we do then, Celestia?" She hadn't called her Tia in many years.
Another stretch of silence followed until Celestia spoke, and when she did it was closer to the language variant the sister's shared in the earliest days of their youth.
(Yes, there is a cool speech after this that I just omitted, haha) 
Looks like you just made a gateway story!
