This story is a sequel to Lingering Shadows

He broke her heart once already. Luna learned her lesson when Sombra last tried to manipulate her, and she wants nothing more than to forget about what happened and put it behind her.

Sombra cannot forget, nor does he want to. Regretting what happened between them, when the chance to make things up to Luna comes from some very unexpected sources, he takes the opportunity and wants to try to court her properly.

But once bitten, twice shy, as they say. Will the two ever find happiness with one another?

I have to offer a huge thanks once again to everyone who read the previous story, Lingering Shadows, and encouraged me to go ahead with my idea for a sequel. Apologies for the wait, but here you have it at last. I'm going to try to get on a regular update schedule of at least 1-2 chapters a month with this one.

A huge thank-you to Kelisah of deviantART for graciously allowing me use of her artwork as a cover piece for this story!

Many people know my father, Sombra, for all that he did to the Crystal Empire when he was king. But what others don't know what he was like before he ruled, or how he reached the rank in the first place. It's a lot different than people might think.
However, they all know that he was defeated by Princess Luna and Celestia - or so they think.

Teen rating just in case.

P.S. I have a weird tendency to capitalize the first letters of some words.
P.P.S. Also written as if it was told orally.

Celestia has finally left this world, and Twilight has to step up to her place as Princess beside Luna, becoming Regent of the Sun. She has to learn what being a Princess entails, and live up to Equestria's standards.

Two Arcs. (More arcs will be in Sequels)
Arc 1-Chapters 1-6
(7 is a Bonus, all about the laws of Equestria. It will be updated irregularly.)
Arc 2-Chapters 8, 10-? (9 is a Bonus about magic, and will be updated irregularly)

Note: bonus chapters are not necessary for the storyline, but help comprehension.
