Epilogue
For over a thousand years, he had waited in the darkness.
It was a short wait, by comparison, but he had never been patient.
The ice walls around him that made his prison were as unyielding as ever, but…but that would change very soon.
His eyes gazed outward, watching the world outside through magic not yet discovered by ponykind.
The ice began to shake around him, and he smiled.
It was time.
The ice cracked around him, letting sunlight hit him for the first time in a millenia.
Oh, how he hated it.
Rising like the smoke off a forest fire, he dragged himself up and out onto the icy plains that once held the Crystal Empire.
His neon green eyes that tore through darkness and pierced the conscious gazed at the horizon, searching for something that only he could see.
And then he turned to his servant.
“King Sombra, Lord of Darkness,” he said, bowing low to the ground. “I have released you.”
Sombra’s eyes stared down at his servant. “You’re late,” he said, his mental words booming in his servant’s head. His incorporeal body, however, found speaking difficult, and his shadow of a throat could only manage to hiss the last word. “Laaaaaaate…”
“Apologies, my Lord,” the servant replied. “I found myself unexpectedly delayed.”
The black cloud that was Sombra glared down at his servant for a moment before turning to face the south. “I can overlook this. Besides, it matters not. It will all be over for them soon.”
“Sooooooooonn….” his voice echoed.
The servant smiled, and with a snap of his claws, a chalice filled with a dark brown liquid appeared in his hand.
And then, with a crooked smile, the servant spoke. “The Queen is dead, long live the King.”
