Day 31


I walk into the grand throne room with four guard surrounding me. In his throne sits Sombra and he looks down upon me. He wants to know why I am here. I inform him of my decision to help. He listens to me as I tell him of my friends and where I think they may go or how they are travelling. He only nods until a snap of his fingers gets the guards to leave me and he walks me out of the room.

He is telling me that I can be of use to him and that that is why he stopped his guards the moment I told him. Sombra surprises me with tired eyes and slight frown as he talks about these acs that should be nothing to him. However, instead of killing me now that he has the information, he has led me to a room. He states that this will be my room and that in one month’s time I will be expected to be ready to work for him. I ask him what type of work, and the doors are opened.

In front of me lies spools of ancient fabric and ponequins for me to work on. I see paper for blueprints, scissors for cutting, and even an old sewing machine to help. He smiles down at me and asks if I like it. I have much to take in, but I mutter “yes” while staring at the most amazing thing in the room.

A single window with light coming through.

Tears of joy fill my eyes as Sombra grabs ahold of my hair. With a small blast of magic she felt the weight fall from her shoulders. He states it is to hide me. I cannot be known as Rarity. Rarity can be rallied around as a fallen hero. I am not saddened by this fact. The Rarity that has none of her friends is a Rarity who was alone and sad. As he leaves I look out the window with a small smile. “Black Lace. Sounds beautiful.”
