After Twilight's exclamation, she ran and came back with a purple dragon.

I recognized him as the one who had saved the Crystal Empire from me. She said, "This is Spike."

I sarcastically asked, "Your pet dragon?"

She replied, "No! Spike is my assistant, NOT my pet."

The dragon looked at me and screamed, "Twilight! What is HE doing HERE?"

The dragon hid behind Twilight, and she said, "When I came back from the Crystal Empire, I found Sombra's horn and gave him his body back. I'm reforming him."

He asked, "But Twi! Did you even tell Princess Celestia?"

Twilight replied, "Of course not. If I tell her now, then she'll banish Sombra."

The dragon tried one last thing, "But he-he's dangerous! He's a tyrant!"

But all Twilight said was, "I know. Now go and say hi to him."

She pushed the dragon in front of her, and he nervously said, "H-hi S-s-Sombra. I-i'm S-spike."

Twilight smiled at me, and I forced out with a smile, "Hi Spike. As you already know, I'm Sombra. Are you Twilight's pet dragon?"

The dragon seemed offended. "I'm her assistant, not her pet!"

I ended the conversation, "Oh well. It was nice meeting you, Spike. I'll see you some other time."

The dragon ran out of the room. Twilight glared at me, "You know, you could've been nicer to Spike."

I said, "Sorry, but I don't know what being nicer is."

Twilight sighed and opened a book. She started reading when I interrupted her. "You told me that Celestia taught you some dark magic. Do you want to learn more?"

She replied, "I don't need to learn more of that than the princess taught me." And then she looked back at her book.

I reasoned, "But it's still learning, right? And you love learning. You could test if dark magic could be used to do good things instead of bad."

Twilight looked up and said, "That sounds like an interesting idea. When do I start?"

"I could start teaching you tomorrow if you want."

"Sure!"

I smiled as a thought started in my head. Soon this mare would be mine, all mine.

And corrupted too. While I was thinking, Twilight returned to her book, and I decided to read some books.

I got a few off the bookshelf and started reading them.
