Rusty watched as Note walked into another room, and she gave a small sigh, ears flattened. She gazed out the open window, and softly began to sing.

Heart made of crystal...
Darkness as black as diamond.

The path of winding snakes... sharper than the sharpest sword.
Demons of a frozen past.... the death howl of ambition....
Such consequences have disastrous endings.

Sombra listened from the other room quietly. He had never heard such song before..... so dark and yet so innocent. It reminded him of how they first met....... The wolf who sung the song that enraptured his frozen dark heart.
He listened as she continued.

Frozen heart, do you feel?
The emotions are a dark storm that swirls inside.... a storm with no escape.
The lightning scars and thunder... with it's low grumbles and growls.....
The rain of sharp stinging of regret and sorrow......
A crack... a crack in the shine of the most precious gem.

A single tear fell down her cheek, and she fought back the urge to cry.

Darkness tricks the soul for power
at one's most vunable hour
One tries to fight a fight
That has already lost the light.

Friends and enemies, mists of illusions
All a part of master delusions
A heart turns cold
A tale of a story yet untold.

1 tail, two tail...
faces become blurred... faces lost in a dark sea of confusion and chaos.......

3 tail, 4....
the faces become enemies wrapped in shadows....

5... 6.... bones break like sticks,
one begs but is unheard, a cry of help in a lost world.....drowning... drowning in the darkness that they cannot fight....

The darkness parts. A soul rises.... cries are heard....
It's all the blame is yours........ all of it...

He watched as Rusty finally broke down and began to sob into her paws. He walked up behind her, and put a comforting hoof on her shoulder.

"Rusty.... please don't cry."

At the sound of his voice, she looked up from her crying a bit surprised, as he took her into a soft hug. 

"Sombra, I'm sorry.... one cannot control the darkness when it wants to be set free. The heart is divided in half. One cannot go without the other."

Sombra wiped a tear from Rusty's face softly with a hoof, and his eyes met hers.

"Do you remember..... you were that crystal ponywolf. You were the one who said absolutely nothing. There was something about you I couldn't point out.... until I saw the light beneath those dark eyes of yours........"
As he continued to stare into her eyes, she stared into his. He saw the same mysterious light that hid beneath the dark expression she always wore...... and it brought back memories.... not all of them good.
