Twelve years later Somber became a grown stallion, he wore the Royal Armor of The West. A Red robe with a metal chest piece and the metal greaves around his hooves. He walked into the room of the king's chamber and looked at the king on his death bed. The sickness has got the final stage and Somber stared at him with the stare of a thousand warriors with anger in his eyes.

"All these years, not once you treated me like a son, but you treated me as a pet and a servant. You paid others to spend time with me and I grew up hating you and I always waited for this day, you are nothing but a old man and now when your gone, I will be king and their is nothing you and your pathetic guards could do about it!"

The king weakly grabbed Somber by the neck and pulled him too his face

"I have taught you well. I taught you to hate your enemy and I was your enemy and now you won the battle and now you earned my kingdom, your darkness will shade over this world and bring all ponies too your hooves. You know what too do."

Somber grew angry and took his horn and slit the king's neck up large enough for his tongue to hang out and he kept slicing him until a guard grabbed him, Somber quickly turned into the Smog and overcame the kingdom turning all his ponies into slaves. He brought the crown of the king to his eyes, and put it on and with a loud demanding voice.

"I am your new king, now bow before me or you will perish before me."

All the ponies bowed and dropped there heads too the ground and so did all the warriors of the kingdom.

"You will build the walls of my kingdom out and higher than before, you will make your own bricks and will not be provided food, you will earn your own food by hunting in the wasteland or growing in the land. You will not get any water until you have earned it, and you will bow before me because I am King Somber!"
