This story is a sequel to Retirement of a king


King Sombra has been officially retired from his villainous ways for over a month and still lives in the same house as Private Iceland and his friends. However, the newest addition to the house, Blue Axe, the son of Private and Dew, seems to like pouncing him, even if the colt is barely a month old.

Sombra is personally impressed by the colt's bravey, but Blue Axe's parents are a bit alarmed how aggressive their little boy behaves with the Master of Fear and Hate. How will Sombra end up dealing with this, or they themselves for the matter?

Or is it possible they are just overthinking things?

Her curiosity is piqued and she travels there to learn more about it. Turns out this is precisely what she wanted. However, now she's worried she's already blown her chance.

Can she convince a herd consisting of a silent, grumpy historian, his pegasus soulmate and a former dark king to let her join?

This story is a sequel to Rage of a Queen, wrath of a Mother


After King Sombra escaped his captivity, he dropped off the radar again and nobody knew where to find him. Meanwhile, his mother has by all appearances started to reform and is allowed limited mobility within Canterlot Castle.

Then suddenly, after many months, the king himself returns and gives Private Iceland and his friends a rather odd offer; convince him to retire from his evil ways. Naturally, everybody is on guard, wondering what Sombra is up to and if he's being genuine about this offer.

Meanwhile, Princess Celestia must also contend with a mysterious accident that has delivered a very familiar pony to her kingdom.

This story is a sequel to The Last of the Dark Ponies


Beware the Queen of Rage and Wrath.
For deadly are her many ploys.
And little pity is in her heart.
As her rage consumes and wrath destroys.

So sung the ancient Saddle Arabian bards of their nations most dangerous enemy. Queen Rabia of the Dark Pony Empire. Ever did she match wits and force with their old kings until her surprising demise, leaving her daughter Ira on the throne. Then the ancient Saddle Arabians finally invaded, destroyed their ancient enemies and executed the Last Queen. But Rabia had another child, the mysterious Lost Son who disappeared from her court before these events.

King Sombra, former tyrant of the Crystal Empire, the Shadow King. Lost Son of Queen Rabia. Exiled in his first defeat, killed in the second, fled into hiding in the third and finally captured the fourth time and sent to Tartarus. He would probably be rotting there along with Lord Tirek if there wasn't just one problem.

In his fourth defeat, his mother Queen Rabia unexpectedly returned. Promising the destruction of modern Saddle Arabia for what their ancestors did. The Saddle Arabians call the destruction of the Dark Pony Empire and the execution of the Last Queen their Great Shame, but the Queen of Rage and Wrath does not care.

For the destruction of her empire, they will face the Rage of a Queen.

For the execution of her daughter, they will face the Wrath of a Mother.

Saddle Arabia's hope may lie in the absolute unlikeliest source. The Tyrant of Fear and Hate. Who doesn't particularly like them much either.

King Sombra actively destroyed records about the Crystal Empire before his reign. Princess Cadance has slowly been reverting that destruction and has reached a point where only one question remains. How did King Sombra come to power in the Crystal Empire? Records are silent on that one.

It's fortunate then that during recent events, King Sombra himself was captured and locked up in Tartarus. So it should be a simple matter to go there and ask him. That's at least what Princess Cadance and Shining Armor think.

It turns out King Sombra knows quite a bit more than the royal couple realized. He knows where Princess Cadance came from.

When he returned to life and escaped from his enemies after possessing Private Iceland. King Sombra seemed to drop off the radar, only leaving vague sightings and hints of where he might be. So what was the former tyrant of the Crystal Empire doing before he struck again?

This story is a sequel to The Last of the Dark Ponies


Tirek waits eagerly for his plans to come to fruition. The magic is draining from Equestria, his protégé had followed his advice to the letter. Soon his enemies would come and be just as trapped as he is in Tartarus.

But he wasn't alone in watching his plan unfold. His fellow inmate was also watching, being neither helpful nor as eager as him to see their enemies coming soon. If anything, King Sombra does not believe in the plan at all. Well Tirek would show him.


A mildly alternate version of the Tartarus scenes from School Raze, since in the Last of the Dark Ponies, Sombra was imprisoned in Tartarus. Marked as a sequel though it's more of a short follow up on his imprisonment.
