"-And that is how Equestria was formed," the teacher said, putting down her visual of the Equestrian flag. A young Chatterjoy was asleep on her desk, and a puddle of drool had formed on it. Her classmates were currently snickering at her, while tiny snores left her body.
The bell rang, and the foals rushed from their seats to go home. Chatterjoy still snored lightly on her desk and only flicked her ear as a sign that the noise had bothered her at all. The teacher sighed and walked over to the pegasus, and she shook her gently.
"Chatterjoy," the teacher said softly and continued, when Chatterjoy opened her eyes groggily, "This has gone on long enough. You sleep through my class every time. History is an important subject, and you should learn it-"
"-If I don't want to repeat it," Chatterjoy finished with a yawn. Her flank was blank and her mane draped over her face, as if she was hiding it.
"If you know that much than why don't you try harder in my class?" The teacher asked, as she helped the filly gather her things in her saddlebag.
"Cause I know it," Chatterjoy replied lamely. She blew some of her mane out of her face, so she could see her teacher, but it only moved back to obscure her view once more.
"Then prove it," the teacher challenged, "What was the history of King Sombra?"
Chatterjoy opened her mouth and began to reply to her teacher's question, "King Sombra was a tyrant that ruled over the Crystal Empire. Not much is known about the Crystal Empire because when Princess Celestia and her partner defeated the King he had placed a curse on the kingdom to disappear..."
Sombra stood proudly upon his kingdom. The slaves working hard to please their master so that they might get a little extra food and drink. He enjoyed tormenting them, because there was nothing better to do. The King knew, however, that he would have to place alarm bells among the kingdom, so that if he was ever defeated the bells would ring, and the empire would go into hiding.
"The Princess and her partner would come attack him at any moment. He knew why as well. They wanted to steal his beloved crystal heart and trample over his pristine clean stairs. He would have none of it. His maiden stairs would never be run upon, and anypony foolish enough to do so was punished severely. Nopony ruined the cleanliness of his stairs.
Oh, and nopony stole his crystal heart, as it was made of crystal, and King Sombra loved crystals.
He began to reminisce about his foalhood. He had loved crystals back then. He would decorate his mane and tail with the beautiful rocks. The other colts and fillies made fun of him, and he hated it. There was nothing wrong with a colt liking to put delightfully colorful crystals in his mane and tail, but they continued to mock him.
He planned his revenge. At first he would ambush them, and then put crystals into their hair forcefully. That tactic didn't work because they outnumbered him, and they beat him up as a result.
Even his parents had trouble wrapping their heads around why their colt would like such girly things. Sombra couldn't understand why it was so wrong. Many stallions did girly things. They wore make-up in pattern of a lightning bolt on their face. He thought that was weird. Some stallions took ice skating. Others even sounded like a girl when they sang despite being past the age of puberty.
What was wrong with him turning his mane into a giant puffball and putting crystals in it. They even made fun of him for wearing a necklace that had an upside down tree inside a circle. He liked trees. Still other ponies mocked him, but he would get his revenge.
King Sombra snapped his mind back into the present. He did show them. He turned them into slaves, and with his routine of standing ominously above them for the evening done, he went back inside. He went to his private chambers and looked into the mirror.
"Looking good," he purred as he flexed his non-existent muscles. He took off his armor and gazed at himself in the mirror. "I'm missing something though." Sombra thought long and hard about what he was missing when he remembered with a jolt. He brought out a weird looking comb and began to puff up his mane till it was a nice giant ball of fluff a top his head.
"Much better," he smiled. He levitated up different colors of crystals and began to weave it into his mane.
"Even better."
Suddenly the sun shone through his window with a brilliant rage. When it had passed he ran to the window to see what it was. It was Princess Celestia and her partner. The were now flying over his empire and heading straight for him. "No, they'll never hurt my stairs or take my beloved crystals!" He exclaimed. After all he needed them to weave into his mane and create his giant glittering ball of dances.
"It's over Sombra surre-" Princess Celestia began to command when she saw King Sombra. She tried to hold in her laughter, as she saw the armor less Sombra with an Afro that had crystals in it.
"I will never surrender to you or your partner!" King Sombra yelled defiantly.
"We art not her partner! We art her si-"
"I care not who you are you measly sidekick!" King Sombra yelled back.
"Surrender Sombra. You are no match for me and my si-" Celestia started again.
"You have it wrong! It is you and your sidekick that are no match for me!" King Sombra gloated, "For I have this!" He levitated out the comb he had used to style his mane.
"A comb?"
"What? No you fool! The crystal heart...oh," King Sombra tossed the comb back inside and brought out the crystal heart.
"A half a ball of crystals?"
"No...gah!" King Sombra exclaimed frustrated, "This!" He finally levitated out the crystal heart. "With this I can defeat you!"
"With love and light. Everything in which thou is not?"
"Yes! With everything I am...not....horse apples. You're going to kick my flank aren't you."
Both of the ponies nodded in unison before they put their horns together and banished Sombra in the ice of the north.
The teacher watched in shocked fascination as the filly before her played with little toy figures of Sombra, Celestia, and a guards pony. She had used little paper footballs to represent the other ponies. She was currently sending Sombra to other side of the classroom with a noooooo.
"-And that is how King Sombra was banished to the cold north."
