This story is a sequel to Love at All Speeds: Running for Rainbows

Sombra, the Tyrant on the throne of the Crystal Empire. His reign was long and cruel. But it was not without reason. Power corrupted him, but his goal was always the same. To go back to the realm his father hailed from, beyond the crystal mirror, beyond a portal he could not open. To find his Father, their throne, and become all powerful.

Though many stopped him, including his adoptive family and a thousand years later by a baby dragon. Broken from such events, powerless and the corruption no longer giving him power, he could only hope to one day find a way through the portal and find out who he was, and who he should become.

Little did he know, his journey had only begun and he would not be alone. He would soon find others who would offer friendship... And one who he may offer the heart he thought he had lost ages ago.

This is my own little alternate universe, and as such has a few things that don't make much sense to first-time readers without reading the first story. Enjoy!

However, his recent streak of victories has gotten him mixed attention, and when a competitor loses his cool, Shadow finds himself victim to a beating, and a broken leg against the Wondercolt Statue.

FEATURED on 9/2/14 (by confirmation of a review by firestrom83... WOW! That's amazing. thank you all, whether you enjoyed it or not.

Applejack and Twilight are both in love... With each other! But they're so scared of telling the other, that they fail to see the love each has. Both fear the other will not feel the same.

As Applejack follows Pinkie Pie, who's so secretively planning a party that she forgoes conventional methods, even being so clever as to not buy anything Applejack might ask about, Applejack runs for the hills when Pinkie's tail starts twitching. If only she knew the Chaos in her life that would ensue
