I come from the Crystal Kingdom, but not a crystal pony... Yep outcast all the way here. So when some unicorn asked me if she could try a spell on me, why not? So I hear the screams of teleporting and poof I'm here. So lets start new!
I use to live in the Crystal Kingdom, but wasn't a crysatal pony. I was shund by others and told I was a bad olmen. So some mare walked up to me and asked if she could try a spell. Well for every pony the sounds of teleporting is diffrent, to me its thousands of pained screams. After hearing that I was on the side of a mountian hiding from changlings. Now a bad storm showed up and I'm on the side of this rock, can't fly and can't walk far due to the walk way is giving out. Yay! Luck couldn't ever be on my side more than now, or could it?
"Life is what you make it. You can live happy and die happy, or live angry and die with regrets. Your pick, not mine."
Lighting filled the rainy air. The darkness was at every corner. I can't get away from it, it knows my every move. Running faster will make problems, but slowing down means failer.
The ground under my hoofs was giving out under every step. Looking over the edge was letting me see nothing but darkness. The rain fell harder on my already wet mane and feathers. The only light was the lightning hitting the side of the mountian. The wind was strong, to strong to fly. Cursing at myself I could only push onward.
'I'm thousands of feet from sea level and couldn't make a single wrong step. If I do that ment a one way trip to my death. I figured a nice flight would be nice, but when some mare asks for help with a spell comes in say no. Because I'm some where in changling territory on the side of a freaking mountian! I'll probly lose my job cause I'm not showing up and I get to fight changlings! Just what I needed.'
I only closed my eyes to get rain out and when I opened them I'm in a complete free fall. Some how I saw this coming, I always had problems with luck. The wet wind pushed my mane out my face. I was now at the same speed as the falling rain. The wind was ripping my feathers out of my wings. Gritting my teeth I angled my head stright down.
'Now if I do this right I shouldn't die. Only wined up with a couple of broken bones or something.'
I could fell the ground coming closer. Lightning lit the ground far below me.
'Three...... Two...... ONE!'
I flared my wings out shotting my only inches from the ground I had to be going pretty fast but all soon ended with me hitting a tree, blacking out.
------
"Well... I never thought death would be so nice."
I was in the middle of a open field with the sun shining down on me. The light wind in my mane felt good, beside it being in my eyes. The bright blue sky was above me. No pony was in my line of sight.
"I can live with this."
"Well don't get use to it."
Turning 360 I couldn't see any pony. Only never ending green soft grass.
"Who said that?" Still no pony was in sight.
"Princess Luna."
"I've heard storys about you."
"Good or bad?"
"Well not such good. Sorry."
"Oh... Its quite fine." She sound sadden to my responce.
"But I do like your beautiful nights though. Thats one of the reasons the crystal ponys disliked me."
"I have been watching your dreams and they seem quite, um..."
"Dark."
"Well, yes. You don't dream often doring the night."
"Like I said not a day stallion."
"Right." I sat on my hunches looking at the blue sky.
"Why don't you speak in olden tounge?"
"HA, Thats only because my sister wanted me to sound proper after turning back from Nightmare Moon."
"I see. Um could you make it night here?"
"Sure!" The sun got bigger and bigger till it popped and stars replaced the blue sky with purple and black.
"Can we talk muzzle to muzzle?"
"As you wish." I watched in aw as Luna sailed from the sky with her large night blue wings. Her free flowing mane and tail matched the sky above me.
"Wow you do look beautiful." She landed next to me with a deep blush below her dark blue eyes.
"Thank you. Not many ponys say that, unless they are trying to get in my bed."
"Thats kinda crappy if I say so my self. Please join me, the grass feels nice." Sitting down next to me, she join looking up at her work.
"Not very many ponys like the night."
"Lies.... Sorry but thats not true. Your nights are peaceful and that helps ponys rest. But you get them few that look apon your night with great thanks."
We sat there with no comments after my last one. The night sky was down right breath taking. Every star shimmered above us. Once in a while you would see one fly by.
I tensed up at Luna laying her head on my shoulder.
"You don't mind do you?" Looking over to see Luna's beautiful eyes looking up at me.
"Not at all my princess." She turned her head to look back apon the night, but I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Her mane had hundreds of little stars shinning in it. I woundered to myself how does that work?
"Is every thing ok?" Snapping out of my train of thought to be met with her eyes once more.
"Sorry I got cought in your beauty." The blushing Luna stood up making me having to compensate for the lost wight.
"I must go help other dreams, but I will be sending for help."
"Thank you." Smiling Luna took off into the night sky leaving me alone. "Well time to wake up anyways." Standing up I flipped my mane out of my face. Letting the night stars flicker and the grass disapear.
--------
"Ah my head!" Drunkenly standing up trying to get a grip on where I was.
"GRRRR!" Not even looking behind me. I stiffend up.
"Buck me." I started to run, ignoring the pain running threw my body. I could hear them getting closer and closer. If I was to look back I'm screwed. My breath became ragged and deep. My vison was slowly fading from my sight.
"No, no, nononononono!" Everything was black around me. But I could hear magic being shot sround me with screams and yelps. Only if I could see my death.
"WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU! STAY WITH US! We're losing him!........"
"Look I just think that the Wounderbolts could have done better."
"What do you mean 'better' the did just fine."
"Just like every other show they do! Theres nothing new. Thats why I stoped going."
"WHAT!? Are you saying you hate the Wounderbolts?"
"No. Now you putting words in my muzzle."
"Thats not what I just heard."
"Want to take this out side?"
"NO! You win every single time!"
"Thats what I thought."
Who knew two stallions bickered like a couple of fillies in school. Plus who fights over the Wounderbolts anyways?
"Hey doc! His heart rate increased!" He dosen't sound a bit worried.
"Did he move?"
"Nope, just his heart rate. *thunk* OW! What was that for?!"
"I said don't yell UNLESS he moves! You... You... Ga never mind." That sounded like the famus Doctor.
'How come I can't open my eyes? Why can't I move?'
'Rest easy my little pony.' Even though my eyes are closed, the left one twitched.
'W-Whos in my head?'
'You sound angry.'
'Nope, nope, nope! I'm out of here.'
I focused a healing spell on me. Drawing all my energy I felt that I just ran 16 miles.
"Did he have a horn before?"
"Y-YES!" My voice was weak but powerful. I snapped my eyes open to a bright light above me. Sitting stright up I was met with two shocked royal guards. Both the famus white coat with blue mane. There eyes was wide open with reallity. The wall behind them was a dim white with a brown wooden door behind them.
"DOC! HES MOVING!"
"Stay put sir. Its for your own good."
"H-heard that before." Still weak I worked my way out of the warm soft white bed. The pepperd white tile floor was cold under my clean hoofs. Closing my eyes I rolled my neck and spread my wings hearing pops coming from my joints.
"HES A ALICORN?!"
"Yep thats another reason the crystal ponys disliked me." Casting a sleeping spell on all three, all falling with a thump and metal clinging.
Looking at the open door I smiled and started my way out. Stepping into the long white hallway I noticed that all the doors was closed. The lighting out here was amazing, not a single shadow. Walking to the left, the only sounds were coming from my hoofs. The air was cold and smelled matalic. The steady beating of a heart moniter closed in on my path. Looking into the white room laid the biggest stallion I've ever seen. He was red with a orange mane an tail. On his flank was a large half of a green apple as a cutie mark. Turning back from the sleeping stallion I kept on my walk to freedom. Everything went back to normal, only hearing my self and a cough here and there. Soon I was to a brown wooden door in front of me. Slowly opening it, I was shown the waitting room. With a smile on my face I ran stright for the doors. Busting through the doors I shelded my eyes from the bright noon sun.
"Nice job Celestia." Uncovering my eyes I saw a place of long ago, Maybe 6-9 years. I'm still pretty young for a alicorn, but I'm not royalty. I used a vanishing spell on my horn so I will be less hated or feard. Now who cares from what I saw I'm far away from the Crystal Kingdom.
"Your a ALICORN!" Turning I was met with a fellow alicorn.
"Twilight Sparkle well now princess. But I knew you when you first came to Ponyville."
"WHAT!?"
"Yep." The purple alicorn wore a golden crown with the shape of a six pointed star rested on her purple mane with a pink stripe with to darker purple stripes. Her purple eyes was filled with confustion and wounder.
"How come I never seen you before? Plus your the only pony I have ever see to look like you."
"What? Two tone? Army green and black not go to gather?" I stepped closer to intimedate her. Which in resault she stepped back.
"Well." She is sheepishly smiling. "Your mane don't match your tail." She was in fear, my move.
"Lets walk shall we?" Stepping past the scared alicorn princess.
The green grass was soft under my hoofs. The bright sun shined on every thing making things..... prettier. The town of Ponyville was only a short walk away but I don't remember the hospital being so far. Anyways Ponyville was to my left. In front off me and to me right was the park. Filled with big trees offering shade to tired fillies and colts. Looking a little more I could see three fillies trying to do random things. 'Must be blank flanks... I feel for ya'll.'
"Did you even hear me?"
"Nope." I kept walking but I could hear no hoof steps next to me. Smiling at her reaction, caring less what she does.
------
Now Ponyville still looked the same. Ponys, buildings, stalls, every thing. I stoped in front of a ginger bread house.
"Ah. Sugercube Corner. Wounder how the Cakes are doing?" Walking in the smell of all kinds of sweets hit my nose. Closing my eyes I took another breath through my nose. 'Cupcakes, cakes, fudge, icecream, and.... and' "CIDDER!" Shotting my eyes open I worked my way past the ponys to the glass counter filled with pastres.
"HEY! Theres a line here!"
"HEY!"
All kinds of ponys were yelling at me. Finally at the front of the counter I was met with a wore down orange stallion.
"Mr. Cake how has it been all these years?"
"Wait is that? IT IS! How have you been?!"
"Good." I was ripped over the counter into a bear hug. I had to spread my wings a little for beathing room. "Looks like your over ran with ponys."
"HA now kinding! You do know I got to of my own, don't you?"
"What?! You finally got some!?" I loved messing with this stallion hes like a brother to me, a litte brother.
"HA, HA." Opps hes mad.
"I'm just bucking with ya. But your one of the reasons for me coming here."
"Let me guess you smelled my cidder?"
"Bingo! Living in the Crystal Kingdom kinda sucks."
"I can tell."
"HEY! WE'RE WAITING HERE!"
"SOR.."
"I got this." Turning to the crowd I opened my army green wings and flippng my blond mane off my horn. "You shall wait." I said it in the softest voice but everypony was on the ground bowing to me.
"Wow. Never knew you was a alicorn. Where do you rule?"
"Shut up." I whispered threw my teeth. "You all shall rise." Turning to face Mr. Cake. "Got some where I can crash for a while?"
"Pinkie Pie's room is top floor. She won't mind."
"Thanks. I need to catch up with her anyways."
Hoping over the glass counter I took a left through the quite crowd. The dinning room was large with wood trim with white walls. Party ballons was here and there with random sreamers. Smiling I worked my way up a flite of brown stairs with white walls. At the top was a hall way with three doors. Not wanting to wake the 'kids' I tunded 180 and went up the next set of stairs. At the top was a lone door with three party ballons on it. The two outter ones was blue and the center was yellow. Opening the door with my dark green magic was a clean room with a large window and a single large pink bed. the hard wood floors was shiny under the sun light coming threw the thin white curtains. In the middle of the large circle room was a lone pink rug with the same three ballons.
"Will do." Making my way to the rug I flopped down. Unfloding my wings I soon found my self fast asleep.
The smell of death was strong in the night sky. Looking at the. Blood stained grass, bodys were every where. One figure stood though. He had mashed body parts from what the moon light showed. I started to walk over the limp decaying bodys of ripped and shaviged ponys. The sky was completely void of stars, only smoke and the large bright full red moon.
"Well how are we doing today Discord?" He didn't even look at me.
"Besides being a good guy? Just great! Plus I see your not showing your true colors."
"Yes, so Celestia can find me. All I want to do is listen to her."
"How come only me and you get along?"
"Two outcasts? I don't know. Why?" Sounding really sarcastic.
"Jackass."
"I'm a alicorn.... not a mule."
"Always one to turn it into a joke huh."
"And every one thought you was a joker." I chuckled slightly. "Anyways, Luna has brung up the moon I. Time for me to wake up and see whats in this small town. Enjoy my chaos" Giving a mad mans smile I turned back to the moon.
The moon in the black sky had a mushroom cloud grow on it. Large cracks formed around the craters untill it slowly fell apart. The black sky went bright white in a millisecond blinding me.
-------
I could feel the floor under me bounce with the thuds of loud music. Opening my eyes was a small green alligater, that had lightish purple eyes. It opened its mouth reviling only pink gums.
"Don't even think about it." It closed it mouth and waldled away. Picking my self off of the rug, rolling my neck. In return I was met with many pops. Now fully awake only one thought came to my head.
'Discord is right. Lets show my true colors.'
Focusing my magic I could feel my fur heating up. I started to get a slight pain at the base of my horn. My mane grew a inch and so did my tail. My wings relesed a few pops and cracks. I closed my eyes to help focus more, fighting back wanting to scream in pain. I felt like I was being stretched longer and taller.
"Is every thing ok in here?" A female voice came from the door but I could not brake my focuse. One long scream and some blood loss later, I opened my eyes to see my black hoofs and pale tan fore legs with the tip of my bloody snout. My dirty blond mane cut out my upper vision. Blinking hard I could feel my magic levels increase past Twilights, easly.
"Man do I feel good!" Lifting my head towards the frightend mare. "Can I help ya beaut?" The blue mare just stood there. "Wait I know you. Your Cakes girl airn't ya." She gave my a slow shaky nod. "Do ya'll really got kids?" Another scared nod was givin. "Good for ya'll. Well you probly don't know me looking like this but I'm known as the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Ask your local princess, she can tell ya." Ms. Cakes just backed from the door letting my pass into the dark hallway. The trip down the stairs were uneventful, no ponys were on them.
The once clean pony filled dinning room was now filled with lasers, fog, deep bass from large speakers, and dancing ponys. Easily seeing over the crowd, one pink made caught my eye. 'Ms. Pie, long time no see.' Walking through the dancing points was the only problem in my path. Taking my first step into the group was like pushing a domino, I bumped into one pony making it gasp than bump into the one behind it and so on. Soon eveypony was looking at me with mouths agap followed with the record scratching to a stop. The only pony that wasn't bowing was Pinkie and a large red stallion with a piece of hay in his mouth.
"Respect has been gained for you stallion." I hate talking like a royal.
"MACNITOSH APPLE! Bow before a royal!" Some purple/pink mare scolded him.
"That is where you are wrong ma'am. I'm not a royal, just something else." Everypony stood up slowly not wanting to disrespect me.
"Ohmygosh.! Ohmygosh! Omygosh!"
"Yes Pinkamena, its me." The pink mare vanished out of sight, but leaving my back with added wight. "How have we been?"
"GREAT!" With a slight SQEE! noise showing me a toothy grin.
"Thats good. And I see your still parting hard as your uncle wished?"
"AS ALL WAYS!" Levitating my young nease off of my back with a black color dust onto the floor.
"Good, and how is the family?"
"Still moving rocks....." Her mane deflatted. That depresson and easy anger is from me. "But I party with them all the time!"
"Very nicly done Pinkamena. Well I need to go talk with the adults." In result I got a frown from the hyper mare.
"But remember what you promised me?" I looked at all of the suprized ponys around us.
"Its been to long Pinkamena. Please tell me what I promised." Looking back down was the empty spot where Pinkie was.
"You would stop calling me that!" Confetie fell over my eyes.
"Your right, You wanted to be called Pinkie Pie." Grabbing Pinkie from thin air we shared a tight hug. "I shall see you later alligater." Letting her go I walked in the open path of ponys to the front door. "And please tell Cake of my corent state Pinkie." Looking back I was gave a open salute from the mare that ran off in dust.
Opening the door I was met with a cool breeze. Closing my eyes I took in a deep breath through my nose. The smell of fall filled it, leafs, damp dirt, camp fires, and a stong perfume? Slowly opening my eyes I was confronted with a overjoyed moon princess. When I stepped back I was met with a large hug.
"Yes princess Luna?" Looking into her night sky for a mane. "Sweet Celestia your beautiful." She shot back with a deep blush on her happy face.
"How are you a alicorn?!" Smiling to my self I chuckled. "But how are you... more powerful!?"
"Because here I can show my true form. Do you even know my story or just remember the dream?" She cocked her head losing the smile.
"What story?" My smile only grew.
"Ask Twilight or your sister. Maybe even Cadince, I don't know many more. Well Shinning wouldn't know any more though." Her look of bewilderment only got larger.
"W-what? How come you don't refer to them as princess's or prince?"
"No need when I'm something of greater statice." Her jaw was wide open.
"Stop and say hi to my nease Pinkie." With that said I started on to the cold dirt path into the town.
After walking for a few minutes I felt a sharp pain in my horn. Falling onto my front hoofs the pain grew. I could feel tears running down my face with no sign of stopping. I could feel everything I had part of.
The Good: Love, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Life. The Bad: War, Stavation, Pain, Loss, Death. And The Ugly: Sadness, Hurt, Seperation, Hate, Your pick.
"You ok sir?" Looking up was a orange earth colt with a brown fohawk mane.
"Just fine. Why are you out so late little one?" He was startled alittle when I stood to my full hight.
"U-uh dreaming s-sir." Rasing a brow to the little guy for dreaming is not the greatest thing.
"What is your name?" He bowed slightly.
"Names Dreamer sir, I'm hon..." I placed a hoof over his mouth.
"I'm not a royal Dreamer, just a alicorn." He gave me a odd look but was respectful to not ask why. "I shall see you later little one." Easly stepping over him not wanting to look at the little fella. Wish I knew what my colt-hood was like.
The town was empty and somewhat quite besides the party. The dirt path was cool under my every hoof step. The peacfulness is nice for once, well until Celestia finds out.
Its been three days in Ponyville with out nothing major happening. I hung out with Pinkie mainly trying to stay away from Twilight and her questions. Other than that I haven't seen Celestia or her 'lovely' guards, Luna has came in my dreams to check on me. No pony knows of my past so far in this small town. Pinkie doesn't even know about what happened 1,000 years ago, but the Crystal Kingdom and Celestia. Thats why I changed everything about me.
"Are you ok uncle?" Getting a hoof pushed into my face knocking me out of my day dream.
Pinkie Pie and I sat in the Ponyville park next to a small pink school. The big blue sky was above us with a light breeze.
"Yes just, thinking hun." Patting the hyperactive mares puffy mane. "I must go though. I can smell trouble."
"Your Pinkie sences are always right! Do you know what will happen?" She has always talked fast but after a while you learn what is said rather quickly.
"No I don't little one, but I know it involves me. I love you Pinkie and don't let no pony buck with you." I stood up from the red cloth on the soft green grass. Standing proud and looking at a random cloud only bring the lazy side of me. "I think I'll take a nap." Opening my massive wings letting the light wind flow through my feathers. Pushing off the ground left the happy pink mare in a dust cloud. It didn't take me long to reach the white, soft, pellow of sweetness. Setting my hoofs on nothing but the soft cloud was nice. The cloud was a nice size for a summer cloud too. Flipping my dirty blond mane out of my eyes flopping onto the puffy cloud. "Sombra why me?" Laying my head down I drifted into a deep sleep of nightmares.
---
"Your time is over Sombra!" A bright gold light blinded me. The sound of high powerd magic and the scream of a deep voiced stallion.
"It will never be over! HAHAHA!"
The gold light went away leaving only me and another alicorn. She was white withe a free flowing mane, having four even flowing stripes: Blue, green, blue, and than pink. She wore bright golden armor with a gold crown atop her head. On her flank was the sun.
"Teacher?" I stepped where Sombra once stood. "W-why?" Looking at the white alicorn with tear filled eyes. "He was all I had. Now hes..... gone...." I sat on my flank tears filling my eyes. "Why Celestia, why?" She only looked at me in fear but regret.
"He was a bad pony little one." She spoke in a soft motherly voice.
Her face was filled with sarrow. "He was the only pony that could fix my curse. But after awhile he did feel like a father." The tears went away, filled with anger now my vision was blurry. "I will avenge him. But for now I will grow and train." My dark magic filled my eyes, screams of thousands of pained souls filled my ears.
----
Opening my eyes showed the nice night. Flarring my wings getting pops to come from my joints. Rolling onto my back only to have a very angry Celestia above me. Her pink eyes could burn holes into me.
"About time." I was givin a low growl. "So Discord is a goody two shoes now?" Her eyes went wide than back to angry.
"How are you still alive?" Her voice was gruff with hate.
"If you can remeber I said I was curse. I'm a alicorn Celestia," Closing my eyes. "All the way to long life and high power alicorn."
"Do you still wish for my end?" She kind of forced that threw her teeth.
"Na. I'm over my self. You know Pinkie Pie no?" She gave me a slow nod. "I have been spending my time with her after my return to 'Ponyville' she a good mare. Make sure when I'm doing my thing that no harm comes to my nease."
"What thing?" Her look begain to worry.
"I'm the good, bad, and ugly. Pain, hate, joy, death, war, pets, family, ect ya know being a god." I chuckled. "No I'm kidding but last time I saw Luna was before you sent that poor girl to the moon." I clicked my tunge at her. "But hey things happen."
Opening my eyes only to see that she is even more angry than before. "You will not speak of that."
"Luna has no clue who I am does she?" Celestia only gave me a death glare. "Tell her, she will need to know. Plus I have changed my ways."
Pushing Celestia out from above my I stood up. Having to look slightly down at the sun ruler was diffrent. Every one looked down on me now look at me. Her pink eyes where still beyond angry, and gritting her pearl white teeth. She flard her wings out I think to try to scare me. Slowly opening mine to full spread she slightly backed down. A hint of fear was in her beautiful eyes.
"Now please the night I do prefure ma'am, fare de well." Standing on my hind legs I fell backwards letting gravity do its job. Angling my self so I could fly right. Looking down at the small town was nice. House lights shimmerd in the night with one or two ponys here and there.
The night air felt wounderful under my feathers, mane flowing in the calm air.
"Why did he choose you?" Looking to my left was the purple alicorn of Twilight.
"So you heard. Well if you must know I was a strong unicorn in my day, stronger than sombra at my full power." I didn't even make eye contact with her. "Sadly Sombra was only playing with your teacher."
"W-what do you mean?" Her voice was filled with anger.
"Sombra made me a alicorn to take his place after he let Celestia defeat him, but.." I paused to build suspence. "I choose to get stronger than I was. Now I can stop your teacher with out a problem, Luna might be a little harder only cause I feel for the poor mare. You, hehe you would make a great rival." I could only imagin her face right now. "But yet you still take orders from Celestia. What a shame."
"Are you saying Celestia is weak and a bad ruler?" The disbelife in her voice was pleasant.
"Your slow for a princess Twilight." She gave me a low growl. "Well sorry to stop our little talk but I do need to get to work." With out another word I dived down hitting the ground with great force.
Everypony stepped out side to see what happen. Colts, fillies, mares, and stallions grouped around me. All colors, sizes, and more all with sleep in there eyes.
"Ponys of Ponyville soe of you will love me, others well hate me. I am going to bring darkness that Luna could only fear but light that Celestia could wish for. Sombra was a strong, powerful, loyal, and father in his time. I am here to carry on fear to the hearts but yet happiness to you. So look at me as you wish but every creature will fear me."
"That will never happen!" Looking the three princess's stood in front of me with anger in there faces. Every pony bowed while I chuckled.
"If you say." Spreading me wings with black dust surrounding me. "Fear me." My voice turned into my teachers voice. "There must be fear to let there be hope, I'm doing you all a favor." Slowly lifting off of the ground blackness surrounding my horn and eyes. My magic was growing to unthinkable levels. Suddenly everything went black for me.
Opening my eyes showed me on my four hooves with every pony cowering in fear. Celestia was on the virge of tears, Luna was in disbalife, Twilight was still in anger.
"I.... told you." My breathing was heavy with my head hung. "Now all shall remember the name of Sombra, all but the royals, Dreamer, and dear Pinkie." I got my breath back just to get a punch from a rainbow maned pony.
"Take it back!" The cyan mare screamed in my face, tears in her magenta eyes.
The tears in her eyes where pulling on my stone heart strings. "Sorry Rainbow Dash, I simply just can't take this back you see. The spell I just casted was one of only the great bearded one could fear would not happen, but look now." I laughed liked a mad pony. "Everything happens for a reason young pony. Remember what you fear and face it. Less you fear the more you will like me."
I stood proudly in front of all the ponys. "Dry your tears Celestia there is nothing to cry about."
"LIES!" Twilight shot a purple lightining bolt a me. After making contact it threw me into a near by house.
"Like I said, you will make a great rival." Picking my self up out of the poor house I turned to Luna. "Luna please forgive me, I didn't mean to bring you into this. You have been through enough already. Trust me I know how it feels not to be loved or wanted, but your night will always be prased by me."
Opening my wings I took off into the beautiful night sky. Only to think to my self for no reason. Everything was a blur to me right now. Only rage, sadness, fear, and happiness was rushing threw my head.
"Every pony, griffin, zebra, pet, monster, and so on will fear me. In the name of Sombra."
------ Dreamer's POV
"W-what just happened?"
"I don't know sweetie, but I don't think its good." My mom didn't even look at me, she could only stand slack jawed. I left my mothers side to find what really happen.
"Miss Twilight what did he do?" The purple alicorn only looked at me in fear.
"He casted a spell of nightmares of everyponys deepest fears. But you, the princess's, and I are safe."
"Who is the great bearded one he spoke of?" Her purple fear filled eyes meet mine.
"Star Swearl the Bearded. If he feared it than it must be my deepest fear." She looked up to princess Celestia.
"Teacher is there any way to stop it?" Her teachers tear filled eyes only fell to the ground.
"No Twilight, there isn't. Just, sleep." Princess Celestia turned away taking off into the night sky.
"What have we done?" Princess Twilight looked to the night sky hoping for a answer.
"What should I do princess Twilight?"
"Sleep Dreamer, sleep." Princess Twilight slowly made her way to her home with her head to the ground.
The Crystal Empire at night was always something stunning. Just the way the moon shimmers off the roads was magical. Key word was, now I'm here to take it all. The great thing about being me was that I can get threw the crystal heart barrier due to being some good. No shinny ponies was in sight, the mood was happy but slowly turning. The nightmares growing in numbers, the fear felt great. Looking around from my day dream showed me right in front of the crystal heart. Smiling madly I touched my horn to the spinning heart and watched it turn a dark black. Stepping back I looked up to see the rainbow barrier fading away showing the dark sky. The cold washed over me and it was exhilarating!
"What have you done?!" Turning around only to stare at a crystal guard. His simple light blue armor was new to my eyes and so was his shinny blue mane and his light yellow coat with a matching horn. "Why is the crystal heart black?"
"Do you know the story of King Sombra?" The glowing guard only nodded. "Well that was my teacher long ago."
"But Pegasus don't live that long." Flipping my mane away from my horn only left the guard speechless. "I request to be seen by the rulers of this empire." The guard chuckled.
"You must be crazy, Celestia's sun isn't even up yet." I looked deep into his yellow eyes.
"you're fears fuel me young one. I love it, do you understand magic?" He nodded. "Well this will be simple. Sombra casted a spell on me that only he can remove. This spell allowed me to become... well this. I have the power and the age of a powerful alicorn. So being his protege I have been giving the task to be ruler of this, how should I put it? Hmm, you know what never mind. All that matters is that I bring peace and yet chaos to everywhere, I'm going to due what he couldn't and wouldn't do." The unicorn guard just had his jaw hanging. "OK you are useless to me." Casting a sleeping spell on him I slowly took off to get to the royal chambers of the alicorn and her mortal prince.
"Cadence I just don't think we are ready for kids yet." The male voice felt heavy with worry.
"Awe but Shinny why not. Kids are the greatest thing ever!" Shinny? Reaching the balcony now being able to see who the voices belonged to was nun other than Shinning Armour and Princess Cadence. There chambers are of a light blue with a splash of white and the furniture was light blue. The large bed to my left was light blue but shined like crystal, which also held the two love birds. Cadence being the pink alicorn and Shining being the white unicorn.
"I'm just not ready."
"She is right." Making them both jump and stare at me in rage and confusion.
"How did you get past my guards?" Shining was up first I guess.
"Well lets say your guard, just one, slowed my process down. Oh your fear is... lovely. You would never want to see harm come to your sister or Cadence." They tilted there heads at me. "Well you got lucky this time, I allowed some ponies not to have the problems of most. You are one of them." I stated the last part coldly looking straight at Shining.
"Who are you?" The pink mare asked in a voice I can't place.
"Oh me?" Pointing at my self. "Just a blast from the past, I bring happiness to all the little fillies and yet nightmares to there parents. Wait who am I kidding I bring nightmares to the fillies too." My eyes were slowly turning black. "Well speak of tartarus here comes my teacher." Turning around to look out the balcony was a black fog rolling in with the sinister laughter of the King.
"What have you done?!" All I heard was magic being released and I was free falling to the beautiful streets below. Rolling my eyes I eased open my wings and glided down to the road meeting the fog.
"Teacher it has been a long time no?" The fog slowly morphed into a black unicorn in silver armor, his red eyes and horn glowed along withe the dark magic flowing from his eyes.
"It has young one." His voice dark and sinister brung joy to my heart.
"Well I will be off now, do what ever you got to do." Walking away I quickly thought of Ponyville park and focused my magic, some pained screams later I was on the soft grass of the park looking at the night sky. Smiling I just relaxed and enjoyed the warmer air compared to the Empire. Closing my eyes I could hear hoof steps approaching me.
"Sir park is closed at this time." The gruff stallions voice said.
"Can a pony star gaze?" He gave a sharp snort. "OK I will leave." Standing up and not even looking at the guard I flew straight up to a cloud and laided down. 'Can this day be over?'
-----
Blood littered the green grass but I couldn't find any bodies. But the blood around me was fresh, the smell of it was over whelming. Something caught my eye... literally, the pain was greater than anything I have felt before. Everything on my right side went black.
"Ah, my student you did well but I can't risk having you around...."
Screaming I gripped my right eye trying to lessen the pain in any way I could the evil laughter filled the air. Pushing away a little bit of the pain I scanned the bloody grass for my teacher. "Come out and face me!" The laughter got stronger.
"I can't risk having you kill me." Sharp pains ripped threw my left side dropping me to my front knees.
"AAAHHHH! You cowered!" The grass was slowly fading away along with the day light.
"NO! Stay asleep!" Smiling I was forcing myself awake. "NO!" Everything went bright when I shoot my eyes open with a scream.
"By the gods!" Gripping my left side I rolled right off of the cloud into a free fall. "AH!" Hitting the ground with dust flying into the air I couldn't breath and the pain was unbearable. Working my way to my hoofs I looked down to see a large pool of blood. Gritting my teeth I lowered my wing over my bloody hole filled side and gimped my way to town.
----
"Help." I weakly said with blood dripping down my chin at a high rate. I saw no pony in sight I knowing what I do Sombra could kill me and he might just have. It was still really early and ponies might still be asleep. Mustering up what energy I had left I charged up my magic and tried to cast a sound spell but only for it to recoil and blowing out my hearing making me scream. Slamming my head into the dirt road trying to get the pain in my head and ears to go away was doing nothing. Pushing myself out of the dirt with blurry vision I looked down to the hole I made filled with blood. "help..." Falling on my side everything went black.
----
"....are y.... HEY!?" Slowly opening my left eye to see everything was spinning but a purple blob was in my sight. "You ok?" I could barely hear her but I could.
"N-no." My eye was slowly shutting.
"Stay with m...." Everything went back to black.
------
".....heavy even in my magic!" The voice of Twilight was there but everything was black. "What even happened to him?"
"I'm not sure but his right eye and left side was filled with black crystals that I couldn't even take out with magic, I had to open him up from his hip to his neck to get everything out of him!" This had to be Doctor Stables talking.
"What that sounds like dark magic... Sombra! Was he fighting Sombra?" Her voice was filled with confusion.
"I.... must..... kill him...." I didn't know I had that in me.
"What? Wait." I could feel all eyes on me.
"Have.... to... kill, Sombra."
"How?" Asked Stables.
"magic." Working open my left eye I could see Twilight and Stables next to my bed. "I was... wrong. I must set, things right."
"Why now?" Twilight asked.
"I'm not just evil... Now I'm good." Feeling my magic levels rise quickly I casted a high powered healing spell but it didn't heal everything. "Great I'm down a eye and I still hurt." My voice was back to normal and so was my strength. Getting out of the soft bed with my hoofs making a clicking sound hitting the marble floor. "I must go do what your teacher couldn't do, tell her this will be the last time she will hear of me or Sombra besides in books and stories." Walking to the window onto the sunny town of Ponyvile. "This will only be a story with in the next sun rise." Sighing I closed my eyes thinking of the frozen kingdom of crystal. The screams filled my ears as the cold winds battered my fur. Opening my good eye right in front of me was the dark ridden crystal heart. Placing my horn onto the ice cold rock good peaceful thought flooded my mind. I could feel the magic rush to the heart as the spinning knock my horn from it. "Now he can't leave without dying." A evil smile filled my face. "Now I must turn to the dark side." My eye turned black as the winds grew stronger, the pain I caused so many was now fueling my magic as my body sightly grew. The air around me went still as I watched my mane fall from my head. Looking at my flank my tail was also gone but my cutie mark was just black and green smoke. My fur has turned to a dark sickly yellow and my tail that laid on the ground bursted into a green fire just to leave a black scorch mark on the crystal road. "Now we are both stuck in here." My voice was deep and filled with evil. Opening my wings was to easy, looking at each wing showed a few sickly looking feathers that couldn't stand flight. "Magic is left, even battle field." Thinking of the thrown room I could feel myself faze out and standing in calm air.
"Who are you?" The dark voice asked.
"Your end." My voice was darker.
"Impossible!" I looked right at Sombra. He sat straight in the black thrown with out his battle armor on.
"No, while you was gone I gained power you would never dream of." Taking a step closer to him the crystal floor cracked under my hoof with black spreading with in them. "I'm going to do what Celestia wouldn't." Each step Sombra got tenser.
"You can't kill me. You're to young to kill!"
"I wish you was right." The magic flowing to my horn was seen by him, the black and green smoke leaving my horn was from it burning. "Good bye." Standing strong I shot a beam of pure evil right at him. The power behind it was pushing me backwards but my hoofs drove into the crystal floor. When with dust a smoke cleared nothing was left where my beam hit, even the floor under it was carved from it.
"That was a good try young one but not good enough." I was launched into the air making a once nice wall rubble.
"Good hit." Getting up I looked around the now black crystal room for the stallion I once called my teacher.
"I made you live this long I can take it away." He laughed.
"Wrong, its here to stay till I say I'm done." Getting hit in my right side I flew into another wall.
"Are you sure?" He was pushing on to my chest with great power. "The shot I hit you with earlier should be kicking in." I just chuckled.
"I'm pure evil, you're dark crystals won't work now." Sending out a magical pulse knocking him off of me I jumped onto him binding him in magic chains to the floor. "Now your magic is useless." Stomping onto his horn breaking it into dust made the air filled with screams. "The time I spent in Ponyvile I learned in what now is Twilight's castle once library that if you shatter the horn of a unicorn you stop its magic completely, and you are now just a earth pony with a stub on the head."
"What are you going to do now?!" He screamed at me.
"Kill us both in one go." Smiling I just powered my horn with every little bit of magic and energy I could. "I'll see you in Tartarus." Making a small black shield around us I just gave a evil laugh. "Bye teacher."
----
There was a bright flash and now everything was black and still. I know we didn't live from that, only thing left is ashes if that.
I found my way to a small town called Ponyvile to continue my studies on the dark arts and the place I was told that has the books is the Golden Oaks. Walking on the dirt roads was something new from the hard ice crystal roads of the kingdom. The warm air brushing through my long dark green mane and tail was nice feeling. A long held in smile reached my lips. "Its...... peaceful. To peaceful." Looking around at the ponies getting read for the summer solstice. "This is not a peaceful place at all..." Smelling the air I do remember of something evil about to come. "Ah Nightmare Moon is coming, just what I need." Rolling my eyes I knew I was going to be brought into this battle.
"You ok sir?" Snorting in anger I looked behind me to see a purple unicorn smiling. "Princess Celestia is about to talk, are you coming?" Nodding I followed the mare to a tall building that must be the town hall. The details are to painfully 'pretty' to tell. "Come on we're going to be late!" She took off in a gallop leaving me behind.
"What ever mortal." Opening my wings I took off in a quick flap. Gliding into the open doors I flew to a high perch and laid down on my belly. "When will she show her face... wait CELESTIA?!" I shot up and removed the cloaking spell on my horn. "I can't take the risk." A brown mare tapped on a mic on the stage with a huge red curtain behind her. Blocking out all sound I just powered more magic to my horn to remove that stage. The curtain flew up, stopping myself I was smiling at the sight. Changing my look to be a mare with blue fur and same dark green mane and my horn still showing. "No Celestia and storm clouds, hello Nightmare moon." I stood up on my perch to get a better look at the evil alicorn laughing on the stage.
"THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER!" Lighting struck at some guards that got close to her.
"And if it doesn't?" All eyes snapped on me. "Well?" The teal cat like eyes of Nightmare Moon hardened.
"Than The shall stop all Thy who appose." I could feel her magic powering the air around me.
"You just can't kill me, I figured with those eyes you could see in the dark there Night." Her look harden at my sly remark.
"Thy should hold your tongue." She hissed.
"Out of any alicorn I would think you should know that you JUST can't kill another mighty." Her look went soft as she chuckled. "But might as well try." Dive bombing off of my perch before Nightmare could stop chuckling I took both of us to the ground only to be thrown back into the air by her dark magic. The force around my throat was slowly beginning to crush my windpipe, but grabbing at air would make me look weak.
"DIE!" She boomed making ponies run in fear. I could only place a evil grin on my face as she grew more angry.
"I feed off of hate." I whispered and fell to the ground with a thump. The silence of my fellow mare was all I needed. "The more *cough* you hate me, the more powerful I get. As if I was to hate you the weaker I get." Looking into the cat eyes of Nightmare she was just showing her razer teeth to me in a smile.
"Thy would be a great ally." I paused to think about what she just said. "What does Thy say?" She stepped closer and offered a hoof. I was at the same height as her but she seemed taller.
"You know, your not a bad pony....... but I like to watch the ponies I am about to kill squirm under my hoof." Grabbing her hoof I gave a headbutt like no other knocking me and her off balance. "BUCK! That really hurt!" Shacking my head I looked where Nightmare once was to see a purple dust fly out a window. "Bugga."
"Uh..." Looking down was the purple unicorn that lead me here.
"Oh please forgive me." Bowing I changed back to the way I looked before my battle only to have the mare's jaw hit the floor. "Don't worry, I only take pride in one that could kill me. Nightmare Moon, she could very much kill me, plus I owe your teacher a call to let her know after a 1000 years I'm coming for her head." Smiling big showing my teeth that made Nightmare's teeth look like toys. "Have a nice day and tell Pinkie I said howdy!" Closing my eyes I left the town of little Ponyvile back to my city of sadness.
The nightmares have ended just like he said they would. The Crystal Kingdom is back under the pink alicorns rule of peace and love. The damage done in the thrown room has yet been fixed but may stay as a reminder of what took place. Its said that the 'evil' alicorn never accepted harmony into his soul, only revenge with a strong point to prove to every creature, big or small. He did what the moon and the sun goddesses couldn't. Not only defeat but completely remove one of the greatest unicorns since Star Swirl the Bearded. The dark magic can still be felt miles away from the Crystal Kingdom. Like his teacher Sombra he left something of his for him to have a second chance, but he can't come back made from good and evil, no, he will be pure evil alone. Evil powers and look but maybe not point of mind. Hey may be the same as before, only meaner looking. His stories shall be told for years to come and history class told of his battle. He will be out of touch on time as Luna was on her return from the moon.
May the gods have mercy on his soul till he returns to this place. May the creatures greet him with kindness and not fear. May who ever meets him first put him on the path of good and truth. Luck is to be wished upon that forsaken creature.
