Prologue
The raids from the Gryphon Empire continue to occur, albeit far less often than they used to, the Gryphons won’t give up even after their losses in the war! And the Equestria Princess did nothing to help and still don't, because they don’t want to go to war. Clearly, I need a successor who will protect when I am no more.
Not one of my subjects has the will needed to rule with an iron grip and I do not have the time find a suitable mate bear an heir. Now, where can find somepony to take my place? Wait, who said I need somepony when I know of a place where I can find someone.
‘Hmm, what day is it?’ He thought with a quick look at the calendar. ‘Ah, today is the perfect day to travel.’
With that, Sombra made his way to his vault of... questionable magic artifacts, everypony along the bowing to him out of fear. As he got closer to the vault, the already few servants that were in the halls thinned out until there were none leaving Sombra alone with his thoughts. I'll need a young one. Ideally an infant, far easier to mold their mind as to how I see fit. Ah, he we are. A single, unassuming double door is what brought him out of his thoughts and it was this unassuming door that was his destination. After making sure nopony was around, he quickly went through the door before almost slamming it shut behind him. Certainly don't want a servant finding these.
The Vault was about as large as you would expect, stretching on almost to the point where you can't see the wall on the other side and filled from floor to ceiling with shelves. The shelves themselves were overflowing with many magical artifacts of questionable origins and even more questionable reasons for creation. Sombra however, wasn't searching for one of these. Oh no, he wasn't searching for something that would bring about destruction or pain. In fact, the artifact he was searching didn't cause any pain, just a short bout of dizziness and some transformation to those who used it. He was searching for a mirror that would let him travel to another world. I heard rumors that my old friend Starswirl was working on mirror of his own. Wonder if he finished it...
After searching around for who knows how long, he finally found it hidden behind a stack of boxes of other artifacts one of them the Alicorn amulet. I have got to organize this place later. Dusting it off, he mentally prepared himself for the trip. Okay, go through, find a child, come back. Easy. And with that he stepped through.
Now, some like to think going through any type of portal is like going through some sort of psychedelic tunnel with no sense of time. In this case, they would be wrong as it just stepping through to the other side. No acid trip, no loss of the sense of time, just instantaneous movement from one side of the portal to the other. Sombra had gone through once before when he first... found it so he was at least a little prepared for his transformation from pony to human. The last time he had come through, he found out a few things. First was that humans were considered the dominant species of the planet and second was their penchant for war. In fact, it kind of scared Sombra how often the humans went to war and the weapons they had come up with.War, however, was not why Sombra was here. He was here to find an heir to his throne and that's just what he's gonna do.
The dizzying spell that accompanies the transformation went away quickly and Sombra quickly became accustomed to walking on two legs. It’s much easier once you've had some practice. The transformation even changed his armor and crown as well as including clothing. The armor was pretty much the same as prior to, it was just shaped for humans now rather than ponies. The crown, on the hand, now has an almost distinguishable horn on it. Taking stock of his surroundings and noting that the portal hasn't moved from the last time he was here, Sombra made his way down the cobble street. Something he took note of was how similar some aspects of the human world was compared to Equestria, one of those ways being that the poor lived in horrid conditions on the street while the rich passed them by as if they didn't even exist.
A short walk down the street found Sombra nearing an alley and from said alley emanated a strong magical presence, a very rare trait of this world. Near the back of the alley sat a woman in rags with a baby in her arms. He approached the woman only to find that she had passed away with the child still in her arms and still alive. Perfect, no need for awkward interaction with the parent and it would be such a waste to leave the child. He took the baby and notice that it was a she. Why is it that it's almost always the females that are the most gifted with magic? She started to giggle and babble happily as he picked her up she felt that he didn’t have a bad thing in mind for her. As he turned to leave he heard a whisper that was everywhere and no where all at once. Please, watch over my Isis.[/corlor]
"I will. Now rest, you've earned it." Sombra answered without looking back.
Not wanting to stay in this world longer than he has to, Sombra quickly made his way back with Isis in his arms. After checking to make sure the coast is clear around the portal, he went up to it and yet again made sure no one was watching. In front of the mirror he checked on Isis she tired herself out and was asleep and made sure that no one was watching him. Before going through the portal he placed the baby on his back so that she doesn’t fall off after the transformation and crawls through the portal. The travel back was the same only with one thing bothered him that the weight on his back didn’t changed.
Meanwhile in the storage room where the mirror where is a maid cleaning her name was Gentle Hooves and she was just cleaning there because she lost a bet. Some of the artifacts are know to be the most dangerous in the whole world. Gentle Hooves watching out for everything that not an evil spirit or she takes to tartarus, as she starts moping in front of the mirror it started to glow and in that moment she jump away as fast as she could.
After exiting the portal he was once again dizzy because of his body change, so that he didn’t notices that the baby didn’t change into a foal. The baby slides from his back head first to the floor and Gentle Hooves saw that, out of instinct she rushed to catch the baby. She catched the alien baby but didn’t care if it was something completely different species she fell in love with the little one. The King beside her stirred up from his disorientation only to see a maid holding his future heir and to his shock the baby didn’t transform into an equinform. This can’t be true she should actually change into a pony how this is possible?
Gentle Hooves notice her King was standing in front of her while the baby was happy giggling and tried to grab her. Sombra tried to look as imitating as he could in his discomfort because he need to appear strong for his Ponies.
“You're holding something that is mine.” how cold and neutral he said that gave Gentle a chill down her spine. She starred in his eyes that pierced her and gulped down and took all her courage and answered him.
“My King who and what is this baby?” her voice is waving in fear.
“It doesn’t matter to you there are only two things you should know first her name is Isis and second she is going to be my heir.”
Gentle Hooves looks down at the baby and thought that her name isn’t complete something is missing.
“I think her name should be Isis Calcite because she emits such a power.” Gentle Hooves stated it out loud while still looking at Isis.
Sombra liked the name and now a thought came to his mind ‘This maid can be useful for raising her.’
“You’re going to be her personal maid from now on, please follow me now with Isis Calcite.” She looked stunned at her King as he left and as her brain proceed what he said she trot after him.
>>>>>O<<<<<
Five year later.
In one of the many hallways that are in the crystal palace, most of which look very much the same, sat a child up against the wall sobbing into her arms with her long black hair sprawling across the front of her form. Said child is different from all of the other inhabitants of this world in that she was not a pony and this has caused an existential crisis of sorts to form in her mind. Gentle Hooves was passing by the hallway when she heard sobbing and stopped to find that Isis was curled up against the wall. Unable to bring herself to leave the child she raised alone, she went to try and comfort her. Unsure of what to do, the maid laid a hoof on the child in a way that she hoped would be comforting to.
“Empress Calcite?”
Isis looked up at the maid through her hair with her hazelnut brown eyes. “Leave me alone.”
“Empress Calcite, what’s wrong?”
“I said leave me alone!”
“Empress please, I’m only trying to help.”
“Help? Help!? You can’t help or change the fact that everyone around me is a pony and I’m not! I’m a freak, an abomination!”
“Empress, there is nothing wrong with you everything is fine.” the maid tried to soothe the adoptive daughter of the King.
“But everyone is a Pony and I’m not! I’m a freak! I’m alone! My father would be better off with a Pony daughter than an abomination like me! ” and she start to wail more. Around the corner of the hall came a not amused King he looked down on his child.
“Go away, I need to talk to my Crystal,” the maid as faster gone than Pony possible and he called his daughter by her nickname the he gave her.
“ISIS, you need to learn to be strong in front of your Ponies. The only moments you can show weakness is when you’re alone or just with your loved one. Do you understand? Now tell me what your problem is?” only the first word was harsh everything else was told in a kind voice a side that only Isis knew about.
“Father I’m not a Pony! Why should I step into your hoof steps?” she ask with so much desperation that her voice cracked.
“And that is why you’re perfect. I don’t need a Pony when I can have you, you got so much potential! And it is time we start your training and I’ll be hard to you and you know why?”
“Yes daddy because you love Me.” she said it with a sob but smiling. They both made their way to the trainings ground in silent except of the clicking of their armor which looked identical. In the open area of the training ground they both stand in front of each other.
“So we train your magic, but we don’t start with basic we are too good for that! So I’m teaching you true magic also known as Alicorn magic. This kind of magic can only be formed by combining three different elements Earth, Sky and Magic with strong emotion mostly through hatred. The first thing you’ll notice is that your eyes change they radiate the magic blue iris, the white in your eyes change green and from your eyes comes violet mist. Why?”
“Because the colors represent the three different magic forms. Blue for sky, green is for earth and violet is for the magic itself.” Isis happily replied her father with a giant grin.
“Isis, I told you not to show so much your emotion it could be used against you!” Sombra lectured her with a disappointed tone in his voice.
“So let’s start with the training!” his eyes start to glow like he told her.
She took a deep breath closed her eyes and felt the magic in her and around her. As she opened her eyes they glowed in such intensity that even King Sombra gasp. After the short shock he couldn’t help but grin like a mad man and one thought in his mind.
That will be fun!
>>>>>O<<<<<
Twenty years later.
“I taught you many things magic, spells and curses, fighting armed and unarmed, warfare and the darkest of them all politics. There is only one thing left I need to teach you my Crystal.” King Sombra told his full grown daughter.
“Our kingdom has one of the strongest magical artifacts for defense, the Crystal Heart. It’s powered by positive emotion, now you ask yourself why I rule with fear and hate. Love, friendship and rainbows can’t solve all problems , I learned that with fear and hate our Ponies grow stronger more wary about what is going on. I don’t want them die because they do blinded through this world that is why I don’t care so much about the Crystal Heart. Do you understand?”
“Yes father, when my time come to rule I’ll rule with an iron grip. I don’t want to see anypony die.” Isis answered her father and lured a smile from him.
But this moment was short a guard came in gallops and screamed.
“THE ROYAL SISTERS ARE ATTACKING THE EMPIRE MY KING!”
“ISIS CALCITE GO TO YOUR ROOM I’LL HANDLE THIS SITUATION NO OBJECTION!” King Sombra roar thundered through the whole palace.
“But father…” she couldn’t end her sentence.
“NO GO AS I TOLD YOU!” she turned around and made her way to her room, she need to show her subjects that she is strong and don’t cry because her father screamed at her.
Sombra ran at the nearest balcony and saw them he turned into mist and raced towards the Princess of Equestria. Only to witness something terrible they had with them the Elements of Harmony he didn’t stood a chance. He turned around to make a better plan only to feel the Elements strike him in his back but he couldn’t let his Kingdom, his Ponies and his Crystal fall to the Alicorns. With all his magic he took the empire with him in stasis banishment.
Isis saw out of her window that a rainbow and true magic raced to the palace, as it hits everything went white.

I like the idea of this story!.. But it looks one of my past stories, save the atrocious grammar doesn't should replace don't many times and it just looked bad.. and the story was so rushed like it wasn't even a epilogue? I don't want to sound rude but your story needs a lot of work and if your like me never post on this sight if your not well known.
You get hate, which now I only write for myself and don't show anybody.. good luck and get an editor.
4482648 No I don't mind it, I know I am not a strong writer and the worst english isn't my first language. I try my best and hope that someone likes it, I didn't wrote it to be in the featurebox just for fun.
Now someone has to write a story called sombras hair make it happen people
4482944 About how fabuless his hair is even better than Rarity
4482971 yes make it a total crack story
4482692 and that's why your an amazing author you do lt for fun this story has potential a few grammar mistakes but English isint your first language will you continue this story?
4482692
That is one of the best reasons to write, because you enjoy it and want to do it for fun.
love it. great idea
I clicked on this because of the cover art. I'm marking it "read later" it because it seems interesting.
I love it post more soon please
4486686 Sorry I got this idea long time ago and It is still a different story as yours. Here a link that proofs that it is a seperat idea date of the thread 05/05/14.
4486744 Oh sorry I didn't know but I really didn't try to copy you! Now I feel bad but it is still a different plot than yours. If you got a problem with my story I'll take it down.
4486776 I read through the first chaper and it is different so much different. I wanted to make a HiE story which is possible even in the MLP universe and I wanted to give Sombra a bit more personality.
This was the biggest grammar problem I saw. Interesting premise. Look forward to future updates.
I.NEED.MORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE
And dude please keep this story up its relly good soo far
Good idea, but you REALLY need to work on your grammer
Right, six sentences in and you seriously need some proofreading help on this. And don't ask if I know where some are, because I don't. Now I go and read something else until I can read this without turning on autocorrect in my brain. Not your fault, just the grammar and punctuation sucks.
4490120 Thank you and I agree with you but I got no luck with finding a proofreader or editor.
is English your first language? I only ask because when I was helping you with another thing you had a comment that made me wonder ( I don't recall it at all)
4501430 No english isn't my first language and when I talk it is hillariuos because accent.
Call him a tyrant if you will, but sombra isn't necessarily wrong. To quote a certain badass in anime"
"A king… The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things, good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration, to be as the king is, can burn within his people. Proud king of chivalry… The righteousness and ideals you bore may indeed have saved your nation once. However, I’m certain you know what became of those who were saved, but left to themselves."
4501445 ah I thought so. Also good concept.
4501457 And believe me when I say it isn't so bad. In my school days I got in english (hhmm amercian grading) D or E.
4501474 u got an e? wow it doesn't even exist in our system. props man
4501482 oh than I made a mistake her in germany there is the rating system from 1-6 and I thought it was in america the same with letters
4501491 nah we go A B C D F. cause ya know fuck e
4501499 Okay something new learned today.
4501509 (rainbow appears overhead) The more you know.
4501451 Well I never watched Fate/Zero maybe I start to watch it
4501551
Episode 11 stand alone is well worth the watch, especially since almost all info is pretty much dumped on you in the first episode or two.
This is a very interesting concept. However, as others have stated before me, there are an astounding amount of grammar problems. You don't have to have a person on site be your editor, by the way. A good friend or family member would work fine, if you can't get someone here.
4501499 some schools use e.
5296199 shhhhh no one needs to know
Shame you didn't go further with this story.
This has so much potential...
