//------------------------------// // Finale // Story: The Journal of Sombra Lucent // by JitterbugJive //------------------------------// Entry 13 It is absolutely amazing seeing how one small object can make an entire nation fall in to utter panic and chaos! It never once occurred to their feeble minds that one could easily take their precious crystal right out from under their noses. But I have done it, and those fools don’t even know it was me. It’s amazing, the power this crystal heart gives off just being here in my study, surrounded by the sharp black obsidian that contrasts it so very well. It’s as if the heart is trembling before me, knowing full well who its new master is. If the magic of love and light power it, then what will my own magic do? Entry 14 The reaction was marvelous! A huge burst of power surging out from my tower the moment the Other magic touched the crystal heart! The whole sky shifted in just that one small spark, and in return the Crystal Heart has favored me and accepted me as the bearer of its magic! So much power, beyond anything I’ve ever felt! The Obsidian in my blood has even accepted me, and rather than turning me in to a husk it preserved me and flows through me! I did it! I am the one to bear this magic, I am the one to change the world! Oh, they may not see it my way at first, but soon they shall! They know now where the magic came from, it would be best for me to hide the Heart. They cannot have it! This power is too great for those ignorant gnats to even touch! Entry 15 Oh how I laugh at the weakness the Crystal Kingdom contains! They know now what power I have, they know I control the Heart, and they tremble in terror! Yet the fools recognize that I am chosen by the Crystal, they can see the obsidian growing in my every step.. The Crystal King has an excellent ring to it, doesn’t it? They whisper it, fearing and knowing the inevitable. They fear this power, but they also respect it. I can tell, I can see it. But they can’t have it! They wont! The Crystals speak to me now, and I have a mission to fulfill. I have a fate I must instill! Entry 16 The Kingdom is mine. They dare not challenge the magic. I have shown them their fears, I have shown them their fates should they not obey my will. Oh, they complain now but soon they will see that ultimately this is all for the betterment of the whole of Equestria! They don’t see it like I do! They must build! The monoliths must be prepared, the change must be made! This is not darkness, this is progress! A new era of new magic and new technologies beyond any of their comprehension! Harmony and love? No more! There will be order and progress! Order and progress is so much more reliable than fairytales and emotions! Entry 17 The unicorns wanted my magic. They tried to take it. They tried to take my Crystal. They want to destroy the monoliths. I wont let them. All of them will be executed. Only I can have this magic, I will not risk them taking it from me. The Crystal Heart is hidden in a new location. They will never take it. This kingdom is mine, this power is necessary. Build more! The time is soon, the monoliths will reverse the magic in the land and create a new world! The Crystals sing songs of their new rebirth in my head every moment! Ent. 18 Pegasi are brutes, they really are! Even though they lost their original origins, the Crystal Pegasi still had the warrior in their blood. They are strong when provoked. They can find the Crystal Heart if they keep flying like they do. It’s aggravating. They’ve been rallying hope in the other workers. No more. There will not be a feather left of any pegasi in my kingdom! I execute them tonight. Ent 19 So perfect now, my kingdom of black crystal and glass… The monoliths are towering higher and higher, deeper and deeper. Spirals, the stairways to Tartarus and Olymphia… The connection must be made. I will become a god. One more tower. One more and the ritual shall be ready. The earth ponies make such good slaves, it’s as if serving and working is in their instinct. Powerful yet so stupid. Build higher, my slaves, dig lower. The time is soon. Ent 20 The Crystals are so loud So very loud So close Princesses are coming The shadow calls But the monoliths are ready The Heart is mine, the Obsidian promises eternal power 21 Shadows Live Forever to live Power Crystals the heart monoliths time is mine crystals inside Crystals crystals crystals crystals Ghyarhali lucidia sommbroso il crisera barathrum.
