//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Bride of Draspaina // by DragonKing //------------------------------// Chapter 7 "Darkness, that all I saw when I was got blasted from my kingdom. I was so close to ruling it once again, but that damn unicorn and her little friends ruined it. If my horn didn't get blasted to the crystal mountains by the crystal heart then I would have been killed." Sombra said within the darkness. "But I can't worry about that now, I need to gather up my strength and get stronger." Sombra focusing his dark power, rebuilding his body. First his skeletal form, then his nerves and musical joints and lastly his skin, fur and maine. He breathe heavily, after feeling the pain of restructuring his body, and collapsed on the snow cover ground. " "Keep looking, Lava wants a clear search." He heard a voice before turning into his shadowy form. As he looked he saw four dragons with familiar looking armor. 'So I'm near the dragon kingdom, I'm sure Shadownova won't mind if I borrowed some of his troops strength.' He thought as he hind in the shadows for two hours. 'Wonder what they were looking for? What ever it was, it doesn't now.' "Nothing to report lieutenant" The soldiers said in unison. 'Nows my chance.' Sombra got out from the shadows and got behind the lieutenant. "Alright we will re- what's wrong." The lieutenant asked his troops who looked pale. They pointed behind him but was too last as Sombra's shadow form attack and him and later on the other three. Sombra turned to his regular form, with a lot of power and wide the memories of what happened to them. He looked down the mountain smirking. "Draspaina." Deciding to descended down the mountain and into the capital of the dragon kingdom. Sombra, of corse had to keep to the shadows and headed toward town. "Wow really?" He heard a voice that sounded very familiar, one that he did not like. He went to were that voice was and stopped at a restaurant with an outdoor awning. There sitting on a chair was none other then Twilight Sparkle. But Sombra saw something different about her, he took a good look at her closely and noticed what was different about her. 'So the little pain became an alicorn princess, but why is she in the Draspaina?' "I mean it, Dragons can use magic." Draco said. "I don't believe it, so you can do magic? Twilight leaning over. Draco nodded. "It's how we make our scales and claws strong, how we can fly, and how we breathe elements." "That's fascinating. Can you breath more than fire?" "Yeah I can breathe more than fire, I'm a bahamut dragon." "Prove it." Twilight squinting her eyes at him. Draco took an ice-cube from his glass, soon breathing ice on it to make itself as big as his hand, then breathed fire to melt it slightly, then used his claws to carve it into a pony shape. "Wow that's amazing." Twilight squeed. "Your amazing Draco." 'Draco?' Sombra thought hiding from them. 'Shadow's son is the ruler now? But why is he with Twilight Sparkle? He must have taken her prisoner for something, but wait, then why is she roaming freely? I have to check out later.' "Gee, your making me blush." Draco scratching the back of his head. "Oh here's our orders." he said seeing the waiter with salmon for him and spaghetti for Twilight. "Your orders your highness's." The waiter putting the food on the table. Without another word they digged in and enjoyed the food. After ten to twelves minutes, they finished their food and headed back to the castle. Little did they know that the Shadow of Sombra was close by. 'I don't know what Draco is up to but I will soon found out.' Meanwhile The mane five were on the train to the Crystal Empire. Rainbow Dash couldn't sit still as she was tapping her hoof. "Can't this thing go any faster! I mean I can get to the Crystal Empire by just flying!" "Hold on there Rainbow, We all know you can but if you do fly out there, you'll be a frozen out there. Applejack told her. "Yeah and you'll be a pegasusycle" Pinkie added. Dash just grunted and continued to tap. "Once were at the palace, I'm flying over there asap." "Rainbow there is no need to rush, Twilight told us that we should look up any information on Sombra's past and how he became such a dreadful ruler." "Rarity's right, Twilight's not in any kind of danger" said Fluttershy. "And I'm sure if there was any danger Spikey would send a letter to us immediately." "Next and last stop the Crystal Empire in five minutes." The conductor announced to everypony. "Ya see, there was no need to just get off your chair and rush on out." "Yeah, what ever as long as we get out off the train, we head to the palace. Is that clear?" Rainbow Dash asked. They all nodded in agreement and ran off the train as soon as it stopped and the doors opened. All five mares ran fast to the Crystal palace to tell both Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. "We need to talk to you!" All five of them said in unison. "What-" Cadance dropping what ever she was doing. "This is unexpected, what seems to be the problem?" "Is it Twilight, is she endanger?" Shining armor came rushing in. "No, but she found something out." Applejack about to explain. "It looked like that there Dragon prince's dad was friends with that King Sombra fellow" "And that he was all bad and they both fought ice giants." Rarity added. "But something happened that turned him evil." Rainbow Dash added after that. "And he was once married and it had something to do with that." Fluttershy spoke. "Wait Sombra had a wife?" Cadance looking surprised. "But how can that be? I never read both my aunts never told me about it." "They never knew Cadance dear, Twilight sent us here to see if there was any back ground on him or his wife." "There could be the something in the library." Cadance said as they all ran to the library. Everypony split up into different sections for History of Equestria to the Lands of the North to Rulers of Crystal. "we've been here for 3 days and still nothing!" Rainbow Dash groaned. "Maybe King Sombra destroyed the book so no one can find out." Shining Armor pointed out. "He could have murdered his own wife." "That makes no sense, According to Twilight, he was devastated when she died and then turned." Fluttershy said. "Then lets keep looking, we can't give up." Cadance said and kept looking. Back in Draspaina For the pass three days, of leaning about the kingdom. Twilight read a lot on the land, and on finding Sombra's past, while spending a lot of time with Draco. She spent some time at his meeting, helping with his file work and just enjoying evenings with him. Both of them where sitting next to a fountain. "I'm really enjoying myself, I never knew dragons were like this." Twilight said. "I guess you've been with the wrong dragons." Draco laughed and she laughed with him. Until it grew silent for a moment. "Hey Twilight, can I ask you something." "What is it?" Draco struggled with his words. Trying to get the words out of his mouth. " M-May I...kiss you." Twilight's eyes sunk into her sockets with a look of surprise. "What?" "Never mind I was just talking nonsense." He was about to turn away then a magical force made him turn to her. "I don't mind. But the thing is, nopony ever kissed me before." Twilight turned away blushing but kept looking back at him. "Then that makes the two of us." Draco sighed. "No Dragon ever kissed me." Twilight looked back at him. "Never?" And he shook his head. She let out a loud sigh. "Alright." She said starting to lean over to him and he did the same to her. They soon got closer to each other, there eyes closing and feeling each others hot breath, until their lips finally meeting. Neither of them made any sudden movements, until Draco opened his mouth a bit and pressed a bit harder. Twilight did the same and let her tongue explored his mouth, his mouth was very hot and had an odd taste in his mouth but liked it. They both separated from each other, breathing heavily. "That was amazing." Draco caught his breath. "Yeah it was." Twilight said also trying to caught her breath. "I gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow." Flying off to her room without looking back. Ten minutes later She got to her room and locked the door in a heavy pant. "Twilight, are you alright?" Spike asked running up to her. "I'm fine Spike. It's just that I-" She cut herself off madly blushing. "You what?" Spike asked getting curious. "I got my first kiss." She said it real fast that it was Pinkie pie fast. "You want?" The baby dragon asked making sure he heard it right. "Me and Draco kissed a few moments ago." Twilight said a bit slower. "And it was-" "Magical?" Spike said not as if it was a question. "Yes." She said heavenly while laying on her bed. "Spike, I know me and him just kissed but it felt so right with him for the past few days we've been here." "What are you saying Twi?" Spiked asked. Twilight faced him while still laying on her bed. "I'm saying that I think I'm falling for him." [
