Darkness.

Darkness was the only thing that surrounded him as he drifted aimlessly through the depths of space. It didn’t matter that there was no heat, since he wouldn’t have felt it anyway. It didn’t matter that there was no sound, since he wouldn’t have heard anything. It didn’t matter that there were pinpricks in the distance, stars and planets a billion, billion miles away. Because only one of them had Equestria. Only one of them had the Crystal Empire or Canterlot.

Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia…

It was really no different from being trapped in the ice in the far north. He once again had only his thoughts. And his thoughts were only of revenge. He had been so close he could have tasted it. If Twilight Sparkle had been a bit weaker, her friends would have all been slain, their precious town would have been a smoking crater, and Sombra would have been mere days from being able to manifest into a physical body again. And then, with the creatures of the Everfree at his command, he would have marched on Canterlot. With his army, he would have defeated the Princesses and heralded his dark dominion over all of Equestria.

So many ‘would have’s…

Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia…

He did not know how, or when, but Sombra knew he would have his chance again. Perhaps in another thousand years, perhaps in another hundred thousand years…But he would get another chance… And then his enemies would know fear. They would rue the day they defied King Sombra, the Last Unicorn King. But until then, he would wait… And keep his focus…
