After doing the spell, I told some guards to come and take the two other ponies and keep them in a dungeon until I decided what I wanted to do with them.
Then I looked at Midnight. She looked the same as she did when I first caught her, except now she had no chains on, and her eyes were like mine.
Once I made her my queen, then she would transform into an evil version of herself. Even after I married her, she would stay the same. I wondered what a fully evil Midnight Terror would look like, so I thought of making her coronation be right after the wedding.
Then I remembered that every wedding needed guests. But, who should I invite? Nopony deserved to be at MY wedding, but I had to invite someponies or it would be just me, Midnight, flower fillies, and a dragon.
Wait a second. I didn’t have to invite ponies. I could invite my umbrums. When I fought Amore, a thousand years ago she said that there were more like me, and that they were imprisoned deep under the city.
But digging didn’t work. Maybe there was a secret door that only I could open? Thinking about it, I remembered seeing a door like that in my secret room. The last time that I was in there, I tried opening the door with magic, but it wouldn’t open.
The door had a lock on it, and the keyhole was shaped big enough for a horn like mine to fit in there. That meant… my horn was the key!
I revealed the passage and then, I told Midnight, “I’m going down there for a while. Don’t go outside of the throne room.”
She said, “Ok”, and then I went down the passage.
I opened my room’s door and went inside. Then, I walked to the door that had a lock on it. I tried putting my horn in the lock, and the lock came off. After taking the lock off my horn, I opened the door, and saw a hundred Umbrums.
They didn’t look like what I thought they would, but that didn’t matter. All that mattered now was that I had freed them.
I heard a voice say, “Sombra? Is it you?”
I could recognize that voice, even if the last time I heard it was more than a thousand years ago. I asked, “Rabia?”
Rabia came forward and said, “Sombra! You’ve finally freed us! Do you rule the crystal empire now?”
I answered, “I rule not only the Crystal Empire, but… All Of Equestria! And, I’ve found a queen for myself.”
Rabia asked, “Who is the lucky mare?”
I told her, “A corrupted Twilight Sparkle, now known as Midnight Terror.”
Rabia asked another question. “When is your wedding?”
I replied, “Tomorrow, and I’m inviting every Umbrum.”
Because it would take too long for them all to come out, I teleported them into my throne room. I closed the passage, and then pulled Midnight to Rabia.
I said, “Midnight, this is my mother Rabia. Rabia, this is Midnight.”
Rabia asked, “Are the princesses defeated?”
Midnight answered, “Yes, they are. King Sombra and I killed them. He took their magic and I ripped Celestia’s horn and wings off, and I stabbed her. King Sombra did the same thing to Luna.”
I said, “It’s true. And because Midnight killed with any regret, I’m making her my queen.”
Rabia asked, “If your wedding is tomorrow, where will every Umbrum stay?”
I told her, “I could make this castle bigger.”
My horn glowed with magic and the castle became ten times its size. I said, “Now there’s enough space for every Umbrum.”
Rabia asked so many questions, I wondered how the other Umbrums managed to live with her in that prison. If she wasn’t my mother, I would’ve blasted her out of here for asking so many questions.
Before she could ask another question, I teleported her to her room and I did the same with the other Umbrums.
Then, I went to my room with Midnight, and made it night. We got into our bed and I shut my eyes. Sleep was always better with Midnight next to me. She was as soft as a pillow, and as warm as the warmest thing I ever had felt.
Thinking about her, I fell asleep.
