Deep in the Frozen North is where Sombra was born and raised, now following his dams footsteps of a monster hunter. he would be more than content with this being his life, even with Yesric barding away as he tagged along. however it off course doesn't stay like this, not now that the ponies are encroaching on their land. and even though the umbrum wanted to go around this peacefully, language barriers and them being a predator specie causes ponies to take a much more...violent path to gaining new land.

Guess whos back! and it only took me 6 months to figure out what to do with this monstrosity of a story, hoping it won't be as drawn out as the last one :D i might be adding characters and tags as i go, oh and the profanity is definitely there this time

Before Sombra was king, an infamous tyrant that ruled over the Crystal Empire until his downfall, he was a scholar. Under the rule of the King and Queen of the crystal empire he worked endlessly as a way to prove himself in the eyes of those who looked down upon him. He only needed to find the missing key to allow Earth ponies like himself to be able to wield magic on par or better than a unicorn could. But his quest for power brought about an unexpected meeting with a young mare. She is unlike anyone he had ever met before. Sombra wants to build a better world for her, one where society cannot dictate what they know is right.
Yet one must tread carefully along the road between power and love. For a single misstep can lead to an endless world of darkness.

When the sky over the Crystal Empire is split open by a dark tear, Celestia, Cadance, Luna and Twilight must figure out a way to stop it. But in order to defeat darkness, sometimes you NEED darkness. And that leaves only one option; Sombra.

With his powers under lock down, and a growing connection to the strange darkness, can Sombra learn what it really takes to earn an empires respect, or will he abandon them to the darkness from another world?

Sombra doesn't need to ask himself what he did to deserve this... he knows everything he did to deserve this: he had won, but now he needs urgent care, he is sick. If he is a good patient, he may get out of... the hospital.

it's more dark than humor. Honestly, this was originally supposed to be horror, but this is how it turned out.

The way its written can be a bit jarring, but it is intended to give the feeling I was looking for, I'm still not sure if I got it right though.

This story is Just a random idea I thought of while discussing another story with a friend. Been sitting on it for a long time, but this is just a story I wrote in a few hours. I plan on working on more projects and hopefully doing much better, feedback is appreciated as I'm still new to writting.

A thousand years ago, Luna arrives at the final battle of the Crystal War. It's time to finish this.

Written for Bean's Writing Group, prompt #7 "Arrival".

With feedback from Punished Bean, short-tale, Bicyclette, and Gay for Gadot.

There are many things surrounding the newly freed crystal empire that we do not yet understand, and may never comprehend after its liberation, one of those things is the cause of its destruction, King sombra, whose birth, rise to power, and motive are shrouded in mystery, a shroud that many are now trying to pull back.

Some say that sombra was once a regular unicorn, hollowed out in foal hood and infested with malignant spirits who fed off the fear and misery of his slaves.

Some say that he was a wicked thing that discovered forbidden magics and used them to enact his foul desires.

And some say, in a quieter voice than the others, that he was a warlock, a magician locked into a contract with a God, acting out the wills of his patron for an unknown boon or end goal. But that's obviously the most false of these theories. Because no alicorn would ever make a Pact with him, and alicorns were the only Gods that existed, right?

…right?

Well, i suppose it doesn't matter what lies beneath that mysterious veil, because that's not what this story is about, no, this story is about an umbral unicorn and his adopted daughter, the fact that said daughter just so happens to be the alicorn heiress to an empire he once ruled means nothing.

Until it does

Everyone in Equestria knows the story of King Sombra. A unicorn whose heart was black as night, who took over the Crystal Empire, before he was ultimately overthrown, turned to shadow, and banished to the ice of the Arctic North. Though not before he was able to curse the Empire, and cause it to vanish for a thousand years. Exactly one thousand years later, the Crystal Empire returned, bringing King Sombra back with it. Though merely a shadow of his former self, Sombra sought to reclaim the Crystal Empire for himself. But thanks to the efforts of a certain purple dragon, and princess of love, he was thwarted and destroyed. However, years later, he was resurrected to join a vile legion of doom. He refused, and set off on his own. This time, however, after his conquest of the Empire was thwarted once again, King Sombra struck the ultimate blow to his enemies.

He destroyed the Tree of Harmony.

But when the ponies who represent the elements realized the magic of friendship was already inside them, they used that power to return Sombra to the Aether from whence he came. That was the final end of The Shadow King in the world of Equestria. But what of King Sombra from another world?

What if King Sombra existed in the world of Equestria Girls as a powerful, and evil monarch who rules his Kingdom with a fist of iron and shadow? How did this come to pass? What made this version of King Sombra what he is today? Join us as we delve into the history of this world's Shadow King, and learn how he came to rise, conquer and reign over his domain.
