Sombra walked towards Fluttershy, he knelt beside her and put an arm around her,
"Believe me, dear, it pains me to see you cry, but you should be happy, after all, he is still alive"
"But I'll never see him again"
Sombra sighed
"I know what that feels like,......I felt the same way when I lost my parents"
Fluttershy looked at him
"You,.....you miss them, don't you?"
"Yes,.."
Fluttershy looked at him,
"My parents died too,....they died of the same sickness,....I still have a brother, but he's not like them,...but,...if you have someone who still loves you, you'll know that everything will be okay"
Sombra looked at Fluttershy, then he shook his head, as though he was trying to clear a thought from his head
"I don't NEED my parents, I don't need ANYONE" he then stood up and resumed his smirk
"So,.....Welcome to your kingdom, my queen" he gestured the throne room
Fluttershy sighed "It's nice"
"Yes,.....you know,...I think that you're looking a bit,....I don't know,....yellow?"
"I'm always yellow"
"Well" Sombra held her face in his hands "Not that your not beautiful, but,...I think you'd like a little better if you were black"
Fluttershy watched in horror as the shadows spread through her skin her complexion turned black, she lowered her head, Sombra softly laughed
"In just a few Hours,.....you'll lose all hope of being saved"
Sombra looked at her
"And when you do,.....there's no going back"
------------------------------------------
The small group walked forward,...then they saw a door,...it looked like it lead to a dark throne room, Hope covered her face with a hood, they walked in, it was like a demon's lair,....then again, it WAS a demon's lair, they explored the room, quietly as possible, Spike then started sniffing a wooden chair in the middle of the room, his ears perked up
"I caught her scent!!!"
"Good boy Spike, now hurry, follow the trail!!!" exclaimed Discord quietly
Spike continued to follow the trail until he found an open door,
"Over here" he whispered to the others, the quietly walked in, they looked around, they room was a deep ghostly blue-like black, Pinkie picked an old photo, she blew the dust away, but most of it got in her nose
"Ahhh, ahh, ahh!!!-"
Applejack put a finger under her nose, they both sighed in relief, Pinkie then looked at the photo
"Wow,...it's Radiant Hope and Sombra" she handed the photo to Radiant, she looked it, she slipped it into her pocket, Discord found another door, he opened it, then he gasped, it was Fluttershy, he called the others and ran towards it, but when he got to her, she disappeared, Sombra cackled.
"You seven found my lair? Impressive, but I'm afraid you can't stay long"
Discord slammed Sombra against a stone wall
"WHERE IS SHE?
"Oh don't worry, she's safe,.....at least for now"
Fluttershy reappeared, but her skin was black, her hair was slowly turning red, she was on her knees, and looked weak
"FLUTTERSHY!!!" shouted Discord
"Sorry friend, but I'm afraid she can't hear you,...her transformation is almost halfway complete, once it is fully complete, however, she will be my queen, she'll never be able to talk again, she will be too busy, trapped in a dark, cold prison of lost hope,...forever"
Discord looked at her, his eyes turned moist
"But don't worry,....I'll take good care of her soul,...and I'll make sure she's as happy as possible,...at least in the darkness"
Sombra looked at the rest
"But of course,..her soul might want some company"
Sombra threw Discord against the wall with the others and surrounded them with enormous black crystals,
Fluttershy looked at the rest, then at Discord, she lowered her head, her hair turned completely red, the only thing that was the same as before were her teal eyes, but Discord knew that he was close to losing her, what was he going to do?
