Chapter 5 - Why?

Twilight use her horn and take big traveling bag from a closet. She put around a 5 books in there and some gown and jewelry. Sombra really makes her mad. Why he even want her to be in home early? Is she suppose to saw him with Chrysalis? Why?

"That grey fur moron."

While packing, she saw her engagement ring. Normally, unicorn wear them on their horns, but in her family no one really do that. And yet, she don't took off her wedding ring since a day of ceremony.

Twilight lay her head on pillow and look at it.

She actual liked that ring very much. It was beautiful, made from gold that sparks like and when she saw it for a first time she feel exited. And then they told her who is the groom and that she is a bride.

Her memories overflow her, as if she came back to that moment.

Before their engagement, and even wedding she and Sombra never really spoke to each other at all, so she had no idea why he came up with such weird proposition. She would never guess that he of all stallions would ever share life with her. And to be honest he turn up to be completely different then she imagine this scary tyrant to be.

Well, it's not like she ever really think of anypony that way, but still.

He was just a king Sombra, yet another bad guy to defeat and then never mention again.

Yet he convince Chrysalis to join him, and they start the real war. Most ponies were not ready for such a thing. Ponies in general were very peaceful species. But changelings also had problems, there was not so many of them, even if they had better military training, some of them were against the queen. There also were dragons that decide to split and battle on both sides.

And because of this both sides had enough of this war quickly.

When Twilight join her brother in Crystal Empire to protect it, they receive a letter from enemy side. Shining Armor was not pleased at all, when he saw it, but he decide talk with Sombra anyway.

When negotiations started many citizens berth with joy. So when king Sombra add her hoof to the list it was no way to just say no.

Shining Armor, Cadence or even Celestia and Luna were in shock, but she, as much as she don't want to stood out and agree.

Even, when her brother beg her not to do so, even, when her mother start to cry with fear.

And for a second there, Twilight could sworn that Sombra's sarcastic, evil smirk turn into honest smile. But it was just for a moment. Maybe it even never happened?

A sound of hooves on a floor makes her stop thinking of this, and she saw her husband running in the bed chamber.

She look at him as he take off his crown and lay next to her. She don't protest, after all, now this was his bed too.

"I have to told you, Chrissy and I have so much fun together! As if she was my perfect match!" - he stick his tongue, wanting to annoy Twilight, but instead she look deeply in his eyes.

"I know, I already ask you, but I don't believe it's just for vengeance. Why do you ask me to be your wife?"

Her voice was shaking, and eyes had serious and worried look in them. But Sombra just turn off the light and remain silent. He himself, was in fact not sure why he want Twilight in his life.
