//------------------------------// // Claudia meets Sombra // Story: Claudia the Peace meets Sombra // by 12ofSeeds //------------------------------// Awaken suddenly in a land she might have been familiar with except, something amidst and the sky isn't as bright as it was and she was greeted by 5 guards pointing their spears and looking at her with their glowing green eyes beneath the helmets they are wearing.  "What are you?" Said one of the guards while gesturing to their fellow guard to chain her up, Claudia screamed a bit before realizing why it was familiar.  She looked around to see the crystal ponies all in chains and some wore the same coloured helmets, she is at the Crystal Kingdom and by the looks of it, this is not the Crystal Kingdom she knows.  "AGAIN! I asked you, ``What strange creature are you?" The guard shouted.  "I'm a Human! I-I demand to see your Superior!" Claudia regretted saying that she knows who she is meeting, probably, but she is still confused. If this is the event she thinks it is. How did she even get here? In this timeline.  The guards looked at each other and began dragging Claudia straight to the castle that looks so different and gloomy than she remembers.  They reached the Throne room, where King Sombra and the trapped younger Princess Cadence, Shining Armour and Baby Flurry Heart were. Claudia stared at Flurry Heart and she stared at her.  "Your Highness, we found this strange creature down by the streets across the castle," the guards begin to force her to the front and greets Sombra.  Claudia read and saw pictures of how Sombra looks but never in real life she would see the colt that terrorizes Crystal Ponies for centuries to be standing in front of her. King Sombra stood from his throne and slowly descended from the short steps and looked up a bit to Claudia, his magic floating around her, squeezing her cheeks.  "My, what kind of Dragon are you?" Sombra cooed, studying Claudia from front and back, "No tails or Claws," he continued.  "Geez, this is uncomfortable... I am no dragon! I am a Human. From... Another..." She slowly feels intimidated to continue as she stares at Sombra's green, red eyes, she finds herself tightening her lips.  "A human? Never heard of it. Well, whatever you are, you're going to be a great pet for me," King Sombra laughed and walked back into his throne while directing his guards to push Claudia to the side.    Claudia can't believe this is happening, she doesn't understand how she can be here. She begins to realize that her amulet is not with her at all, she begins to panic, did she leave it somewhere, did it fall somewhere else from where she suddenly pops up? A dream. Her head said, she might have been dreaming right now, why is she not waking up? She is trying to remember this event, what happened, what's going to happen. She listened to Sombra's gloating and she voiced: "You're not going to win this, Sombra. Or...uhh, what your name was, I didn't listen, but Twilight and her friends will be here to destroy all your plans!"  Sombra looked at Claudia while Claudia just turned to Princess Cadence, Flurry Heart and Shining Armor raised their eyebrows at Claudia as if asking her a question on how she knows about Twilight. She try to think of idea, and she don't want to actually ruin this timeline. She began to think can a dream actually hurt a timeline, will this effects in the real world? "What ever, human. There's no way Twilight and her friends can defeat me," he laughed.   Then as if the universe heard her, Twilight and her friends suddenly burst in from beyond the door. In a flash, Sombra managed to trap the girls for a moment before Spike walked past Claudia and breathed fire to the 'cage' of Princess Cadence and her family. Soon, Twilight manages to get away from Sombra's enchantment and reveals Twilight's plan and Princess Cadence quickly flies over to the throne and grabs the Crystal Heart from Sombra's magic and flies out the window.    Claudia cheered, soon she was greeted by baby Flurry Heart. 'Hi,' was the only word that came out from Claudia's mouth before Flurry Heart removed all of the chains from Claudia's body and neck. Soon they fight Sombra and a flash of light shines the whole view, Claudia feels her body is floating and she sees a glimpse of Twilight's face and Flurry Heart looking at Claudia before she wakes up in a Library.  "Your Peacefulness," a soft angelic voice sang, her hoof taps on Claudia's shoulder, "You fell asleep, Auntie Twilight and My mother ready to see you in the Dining Area,"  Claudia looked at herself and touched her head, she was right, it was a dream, her amulet still on her neck. She looked back at where she fell asleep, she was reading the history of the Crystal Empire and about King Sombra's history as well. She sighed in relief then turned to the young adult Flurry Heart that she recognises. "Are you alright, Queen Claudia?" Flurry Heart asked.  "Oh I'm fine, just had a strange dream. I just had a dream about baby you and your parents," Claudia giggles. "Really?" Flurry Heart raised an eyebrow while walk to her. "Yeah, it was weird too," Claudia take a look at the books and articles on the table before she cleans it u first, Flurry Heart offered herself to help Claudia and put the books and articles back to their places. "Hey Queen Claudia, have you had the feeling of... somehow I met you before?" Claudia stopped. "What do you mean?" Flurry Heart float up and put some of the books to its shelf, she looked down at Claudia and just shake her head, "Nevermind," After they done, they both got out of the the library and made their way to the dining room. "Flurry Heart, I don't know how many times I'd say this. You awfully cute as a baby," "Please, Your Peacefullness. Not now," The End.
