first encounter of the damned
The last thing I felt when I had been blasted to pieces again was hatred, deep burning hatred for that purple unicorn who had somehow made it past all of the traps I had left to waylay whomever went looking for the heart. was it the last thing i was ever going to see? the light seared my flesh and shattered my body, disintegrating everything except my horn. somehow it had survived the purging force of the crystal heart, allowing me to store my soul in it right before i would have been killed.
the few moths after i had been almost killed were long and arduous to cope with, but still gave me time to plan to take the unicorn down. the painstaking amount of focus it took to rebuild my body over the time i had was infuriating, but served to clear my mind. looking back on the incident i could see why i was so easily defeated, my mind was fogged by my hatred for the false princess. the stallion who had been with her had probably been her consort. the dragon hatchling was probably stolen due to the fact that no other dragons were present. the fact that he survived the fall was an attest to his heritage. i believe that he had been hatched by the purple one due to the fact that she had allowed him to take it. dragons by nature are greedy and glutenous by nature, it was a wonder he hadn't even stopped for a lick.
it had been their last hope, his jumping and the consort throwing of the false one. i had a perfectly good opportunity to take them down and i failed to see it due to my pride and hatred. I had failed to deal with them accordingly. since i was focusing on my revenge, I had singled out the pony responsible for my defeat. I needed a solid plan on how best to destroy her life. but I wanted to do so much more to her, so much more. I wanted her potential, her mind, I could use her.
I had constructed a likeness of her when I had first come back, I had intended to use it as target practice since she had been the one to defeat me. I had made it in her exact likness, but lately I had come to rever the statue, it had been my first project since the crystal empire, the only thing linking that incident to her. I had used my magic to craft crystals into her very color, I had no idea as to what her name was, but I would never stop till I had her.
twilight.
We had a nice weather forecast for tonight, the pegasi were being generous for the evening. We were all gathered out for a late night pick nick, the weather had coincided with the meteor shower that was happening so close to the summer sun celebration, a testament to Luna's reform. As the lights danced across the sky, I could feel the power rolling across the skies.
As the event came to an end, we said our goodbys, telling each other that we would see each other soon. Spike and I headed back to the castle, tired and content. We performed our nightly rituals of getting ready for bed and said our good nights I fell asleep quickly and barely had to try to make myself do so.
The dream was serene and calming, stars shooting and the wind blowing through my mane, making it wave like Celestia's or Luna's would. My wings extended to their fullest and I could feel each and every feather rustle as I stood there at the edge of the mountain. I was looking for something, i just couldn't remember what it had been. around me, I could see shadows flickering, a sure sign that something was coming. I readied myself, charging a spell before it could catch me off guard.
"How could you become so beautiful?"
The voice seemed oddly familiar. I tried to remember who it belonged to.
"How could you forget me? I never forgot you miovett." the shadows coalesced into the shape of a pony, I could barely make out the burning eyes and the sinister smile. His teeth were sharp and the glow of the magic was revolting. The sheer evil rolling off him was enough to sicken me, but I stood there, watching him with abject horror as I realized Sombra stood before me.
"How are you alive?" he trotted up to me, barely standing over me. He sat down and picked up my fore hoof, gently raising it to his lips. The feeling of his kiss made my skin crawl, I visibly shook with disgust. I ripped my hoof out of his grasp. "What do you want Sombra?"
"You."
I backed up and flared my wings out, surprise flashing across his face. "What could somepony like you, want with me?"
His smile widened."'Every thing, You are the only thing that i want, your power, your potential, your mind, you. Every thing about you makes me want more of you. You've even exceeded my expectations already, I want to know your name, seeing as you already know mine, miovett"
That last word sounded like an endearment, something I knew to be a falsehood. I shook my head to clear my thoughts, and steady my nerves. "My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle. What are you planing?"
He shuffled forward again, this time pushing his barrel chest into mine. "I want you. I plan to either win or take you. Either will suit me just fine. Twilight." He pressed his mouth onto mine, while wrapping a hoof around me to keep me against him.
I struggled out of his grasp and shoved him away, flustered by his show of affection. I spat and wiped my mouth to get the taste of him out of my mouth. "What would make me ever want you?! Your just another villan who wanted to take over and enslave us all."
He chuckled and shook his head. "My power. You want to know how to control dark magic and successfully use it. Knowledge of old and powerful spell that have been purged from the libraries due to their killing ability. You crave knowledge, and knowledge is power. I hope I don't have to look for long, I will find you, Twilight, and I will take you for my own."
