"Sombra, why do you keep thinking that I'm going to torture you?"
"Because, as soon as I let my guard down around you, you'll either kill or torture me."
"That's NOT true."
"It is."
"Then go and ask Angel what kind of pony I am."
"Who's 'Angel'?"
" A bunny."
"I don't speak bunny language."
"Oh."
"Just tell me how you're going to torture me, and I won't harm you."
"Fine. I'm going to torture you by making you take care of Angel."
The mare flew and came back with a bunny in her hooves. She gave the bunny to me and said, "Here. If Angel wants anything, then you have to give it to him."
"Taking care of a bunny isn't torture!"
"It's very hard to take care of Angel."
"I'll see about that."
Fluttershy went to the other creatures and started taking care of them.
I looked at the bunny in my hooves. It started making noises and tapping my hoof.
I asked it, "What do you want?"
It squeaked something, but I couldn't understand.
I told it, "I don't understand you."
The bunny pulled me to a basket and took all the carrots and started eating them.
"So that's what you wanted?"
It nodded.
********************************
A few hours passed, and now it was evening. Fluttershy was now putting all the creatures to sleep.
She didn't come to take Angel off me, so I thought that I had to put him to sleep.
But how to put a bunny to sleep?
I looked at the mare and thought that her mane would make a good nest for a bunny. (Where else would a bunny sleep?)
So, I walked to her and put Angel on her mane. Then, I wrapped him up.
When I was done, I stood back, admiring my work.
Fluttershy turned to me and asked, "Sombra? Why did you wrap Angel in my mane?"
I replied, "Isn't that where he sleeps?"
"No!"
"Then where does he sleep?"
"In his basket."
Fluttershy picked a basket off the floor, took Angel out of her mane, and put him in the basket.
Then, she put a small blanket on him, and put the basket on the floor.
I asked her, "Why do you keep so many creatures in your cottage?"
"I take care of them."
"All by yourself?"
"Yes."
"So, how do you plan on reforming me?"
"I don't know how."
"When you saw me in the throne room, why did you accept to have the burden of reforming me?"
"Because, you looked terrible. I wanted to help you."
"Really?"
"Yes."
I read the mare's mind to see if she was telling the truth, and she was.
I decided to find some more information about her, so I looked deeper into her mind.
When I finished, the information that I had found was that Fluttershy was an extremely shy pegasus, her element of harmony was kindness, and that she always helped everypony.
I smiled as a plan was forming in my mind.
If I was careful, everything would go the way I wanted it to.
Celestia had given me a way to get my freedom and my Empire back.
If I could corrupt this mare, then I would once again be a king.
I just needed to do it slowly and carefully.
I asked her, "Where will I sleep?"
She replied, "You could sleep on the sofa. If it's fine with you."
I said, "That will be fine enough. You are a very kind mare, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy blushed. "It's no problem."
She went up the stairs and I heard a door shutting.
Then, I looked at the sofa. There was a pillow and a blanket on there.
I lied on the sofa, and then covered myself with the blanket and slept.
Because, if I wanted to be strong enough to take back my Empire, I had to get energy.
