Sarah zoned out and basically ignored everypony as she looked out the window. She watched as they passed green fields full of flowers. She sighed thinking soon they would be near the Crystal Empire and the Frozen North. The Frozen North was where originally Sarah's egg was.  She remembered the day she met Sombra like it was yesterday. 

It was shortly after Twilight, Spike and the rest of the gang stopped King Sombra his red curved horn was blown away.  It landed in the ice cold snow. It still had some magic in it but not much.  The magic in his horn was full with enough magic it was able to collect the pieces of shadows that was King Sombra but it took time for it to happen.  Over that time Sombra had came up with an idea to get back his body, the crystal heart, and the crystal ponies.   When he first was able to manifest himself into mostly shadow but still show his face, he looked around a saw all the snow. He mumbled to himself that he need somepony's help to complete his plan, somepony who could act as a pawn.   It was when he discovered a frozen egg. He used his magic to give it life and hatch. 

The small dragon that came out was pure white from its claws to its tail. It's eyes were just as white. King Sombra grinned. "Hmm.. This dragon could help me quite well. Just needs a little color change. " He used his magic changing the dragons scales to be like the dragon who helped stopped him. In the end the dragon looked like Spike except with pink instead of green scales on the top of its head.  The dragon was still a baby at this time and Sombra used his magic once more, aging it to be about Spike's age and given it details about things like food, enemies, words, and much more.    

The dragon looked at him. "Hello..."   

Sombra smiled looking at the dragon. "Hello. Your name is....Sarah and I'm your master. I need you to help me with a plan."    

Sarah looked around at the surroundings then back at him. "What is the plan?" 

Sombra chuckled. "There is a certain group of ponies and dragon, I need you to get close with. You will tell the dragon that you are a lost relative of his and earn his and the others trust , then I will have them come to the Crystal Empire.." 

Sarah raised her claw in the air. "How will you make them go there." 

"Its quite simple. I will create crystal pillars and they will have to go there to find a spell to get rid of them but the spell you will find and show them would be to get me my whole body back so that I don't have to be shadows anymore. Then I will get back the Crystal Empire and its crystal heart." He said with glee.

Sarah thought for a moment. "What if I don't want to help you." 

"You can have anything you desire. I gave you life, helping me is the least you could do."  He replied glaring at the dragon, not believing what he was hearing. 

Sarah shook her head. "I don't need anything. I have this feeling at it tells me not to trust you." 

Sombra chuckled as an idea came to him. "Well if you don't want anything then I'll take something you need."  Sombra used his shadows and made it go through her body. When it came out her heart was glowing red as it was wrapped in the shadows. When Sarah saw it she gripped her chest. 

"My heart...if you have it how am I still alive." Sarah said looking at the heart. 

Sombra gave the heart a slight squeeze, giving Sarah some pain in her chest. "My magic will keep you alive just like how it hatched you so here is the deal if you do what I say then you will live." 

Sarah nodded. "Yes master...." She had only just hatched and came to life. She wanted to see what the world was like. She wanted to have adventures, make friends, eat gems, read books and so much more. Her stomach growled. "Do you have any gemstones I can eat." 

Sombra created some dark crystals. "Try these."  He used his shadows to give one to Sarah. 

She tries one and spits it out. "Thats terrible. I'll just find some tastier gems later." 

He nods and wraps her up in his shadows. When he unwrapped her, she wore a old cloak and a black crystal necklace. "That necklace is so you and I may speak if needed now head to Ponyville, that is  where you will meet those ponies and their dragon." 

Sarah nodded. "Yes master.." 

The next thing Sarah knew was she felt somepony shaking her. She turned snapping out of her thoughts. She saw Spike. 

"We are here." Spike said. 

Sarah nodded noticing they were at the train station in the Crystal Empire. "Oh..so we are..."

AppleJack looked at her.  "Is something the matter sugarcube?"

She shook her head. "No I'm fine." 

They all nod and start to head for the exit of the train. Sarah followed them out last, thinking about what will happen next.
