Daughter of the Night and Darkness

Journeying On

As the morning light appeared, the three friends packed up and journeyed on through the bitter cold of The Frozen North. A few days later, they arrived where the Crystal Empire used to stand, before Sombra afflicted the curse upon it. Suddenly the ice below there feet broke, and they fell down the cold dark hole. They landed with aloud thud. Luckily they had brought some torches because it was very dark.

"It is good year we were caring these torches," Sage said.

"Where are we? Doth any pony know?" Gareth asked.

"Who are thee and why art thou here?" A voice said from the darkness.

"We are searching for my father, and the ice cracked sending us falling down here," Stella said.

"Thou art looking for thy father?" The voice asked.

"Yes sir," she answered.

"What is thine father's name?"

"Sombra sir," she replied.

"Walk towards the sound of my voice child," the voice said.

"You cannot do this," Gareth said.

"We do not know who that is," Sage added.

"I will be alright do not worry yourselves," she replied.

Stella began to follow the sound of his voice.

"That is close enough," the voice said.

Then, out of the darkness appears Sombra.

"Father?" Stella asked.

"Yes Stella," he replied.

"I missed thee so very much," she said.

"And I you my little princess. I regret not seeing thee grow into the beautiful young mare thou art now," he said.

"Mother loves and misses thee father," she said.

"You can tell her the same from me," he added, "but thee must hence now I am not safe to be around.

"Father I do not believe that. Thou art safe yo be near now," she said.

"My mood could change any moment now my dear," he said.

"I still do not believe thee," she replied.

"Who are they?" He asked.

"They are only friends father," she answered.

"Have they caused thee any harm?" He asked.

"No. I did start a fight with Sage, and Gareth is like an older brother to me," she said.

"I did not harm thee, but you harmed me," Sage added.

"That is true father," she said.

"Gareth and Sage, do you know how much I despise thine parents?" Sombra asked.

"No sir," they replied.

"Stella, taking thine friends and leave my presence," he said.

"But father," she replied.

"Now!" He yelled.

"Yes father," she replied.

So, they left him. Sombra used his magic to make stairs to help them out of the hole, and he ordered Stella to seal the crack. He could still use magic, but he could not use his dark magic anymore. Stella did not like leaving her father all alone, but she knew they could not take him home. He was trapped by the royal sisters magic, and even she could not break the spell. She could not set him free even if she could because he was trapped in the ice for a reason that we all know.
