Twilight Sparkle is in the decisive moments before failing her biggest test to date when she’s whisked away by King Sombra. Now alone with the evil king, she tries her best to escape back to her friends. There’s only one problem: Sombra’s not evil.
11477774 He's either 100% lying, or this is set in an AU where the stuff he did simply never happened and Celestia is the one lying. We already have the comics to explain his motivations and backstory, and I'm not sure how the author is going to explain away the mind control, the war, and his attempt at reviving the umbra.
11478689 In the comics Sombra is brought back to life again after dying AGAIN during the whole Discord/Grogar gambit, and a childhood friend of Sombra's named Radiant Hope helps reform him. The story ends on Sombra and Radiant Hope going on a journey to find all the pieces of Princess Amore to restore her too. I don't remember if they ever got that far in the comics though.
IF he isn't lying, and he is really was a misunderstood, but well-intended king?
Then what the hell is Celestia accusing him of having a dark heart as darkness in the first place?
great story so far
A powerful beginning

I'm leaning towards this is probably an AU.
Not to mention blowing up the previous queen into a million pieces, then scattering her bits into the ten winds.

The same comic arc eventually had him reform, so I'm pretty sure it was retconned...
The real question is...is this Sombra actually gonna chop off the heads of his enemies, or are those violence and gore tags just for show?

? What arc? It was the comic version of his backstory and how he came to be, he never got reformed.

I mean, it has the AU tag.
