"The punishment shall be 4 months in the dungeons and a promotion to a Brigadier General...

Wind breaker's face turned quickly from a maniacal grin to a shocked and confused look. He then interrupted Sombra as he spoke "My lord he has killed 3 of our soldiers and attempted to escape twice...surely he shouldn't be promoted to such a high rank and get such a small time in the dungeons."

"Do you dare argue your lord Wind Breaker?"

"I...um...he...I'm sorry for arguing with you my lord." Wind Breaker then bowed

Shortly after I could see Sombra's horn glow through the blinding light. Then a green sphere shot through the air and struck Wind Breaker.

Wind Breaker then tightly clasped his mouth shut and the rest of his body clenched, his breathing was in quick intervals and he made grunts of intense pain after he was struck by the spell.

Sombra then ordered "throw him into the dungeons."

Lavan walked up to Wind Breaker who was still in a large amount of pain. When Lavan got to him, he threw Wind Breaker on to his back.

Lavan then exited the room and Sombra spoke "now...as I was saying...you have proved yourself to be powerful and you will be a great benefit in my army...those ponies you killed were some of my best soldiers and it says on these reports you killed them with little to no effort."

Sombra then waved his hoof to dismiss everypony. Then a group of guards walked up and unlocked my cage and Thunder's. "Follow us" one of them said so we complied and followed.

when we got to our cells we heard a distant screams of pain echoing through the corridors coming from who I could only guess was

Wind Breaker.

The guards threw Thunder in but one just held out their hoof towards the door while looking at me "please enter your cell sir."

I did but not before I gave them a confused look. After they left I asked "why did they throw you in but politely lead me in?"

Thunder responded " I think it's because your now there superior...being a general and all." He then let out a yawn "guess it's getting late...can't really tell with these cells not having any windows."

I looked around and said "and of course no beds, thought I would get a luxury cell being a general." I joked. I let out a sigh and walked to a corner

I laid my head onto the cold stone but it was mainly difficult to sleep because of the screams of Wind Breaker...to think that could have happened to me terrified me.

The next few weeks passed without much happening until 2 months and 16 days after I was put in the dungeons.

I heard a muffled thud and some dust fell from the ceiling. Later I heard some more thuds and some guards came rushing past my cell. "whats going on?" I quietly said

Then Arctic Blizzard was running but skidded to a stop and came up to the cell door "We need as much help as we can get." he said while unlocking the cell door and tossed in a key "get that collar off of you."

He then ran off after unlocking the door. "what the hell?" Thunder said just as confused as I was. I cautiously walked up to the door and opened it.

"Hope this isn't another test." I said while I peeked my head out looking both directions seeing nothing but an empty corridor. We exited the cell and I almost fell over after a much louder thud shook the ground. We followed the direction Blizzard went and exited the dungeons and eventually found a window...turns out Sombra needs more defenses towards the north and because of that Celestia and her army was able to flank around and attack from the north.

Me and Thunder followed some guards that was rushing by to the armory and got some weapons then followed the same guards out to the battlefield. Both me and Thunder stayed far behind the defensive lines. A bit later I noticed Wind Breaker within the front lines but he was staring directly at me.

he then quickly took off and landed near me and Thunder. "are you trying to escape again?" Wind breaker said with a small twitch "do you know the pain I went through because of you?" he was slowly approaching me the entire time until he was near me. He then pulled out a small dagger that was strapped to his left hoof.

"Wait, we can talk this out." I said but he didn't stop approaching. When he was within hooves reach he struck out and stabbed me in my chest.

Thunder then ran up to Wind Breaker and punched him right in the face which knocked the knife out of his hoof but Wind just spun around and punched Thunder instantly knocking him out but he didn't stop when he was knocked out. he just kept punching Thunder over and over again until I coughed which brought his attention back to me. Then I noticed the taste of blood in my mouth and some dribbling out of my mouth...good sign for a punctured lung.

Wind Breaker walked up to me and got ready to give me a big punch but before he was able to punch me I gained the strength to pick up a rock and hit him on the head with it which surprisingly knocked him out. After using all of my strength I fell to the ground still bleeding profusely and everything faded to black.

I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in an infirmary but...it wasn't one of Sombra's...the equipment was clean and was not soaked in the blood from the last patient...the floor and walls weren't splattered with blood and it didn't stink of rotting amputated limbs.

After I got a good look at my surroundings A pony walked up to me and I took a good look at them...oh no...they were a solar guard...there going to kill me....wait, why haven't they already killed me?...oh...I guess their going to interrogate me first.

The pony then turned away and said "This one's waking up...hey Blitz can you get him caught up on what happened."

"ugh...why do I have to do it" I heard a feminine voice whine "it's going to take so long."

"It's barely going to take one minute."

"ugh, fine" she then walked up to me and I could see that her coat was a light gray and her mane and tail were a light orange with a yellow stripe going down it like a lightning bolt. she picked up a clipboard, stood next to me and began talking.

"So I'm guessing you already know we attacked from the north and pushed Sombra's army back into the city...wait says here that you were found near death's door before we pushed Sombra back...and two others were found unconscious near, you Mind telling me what happened?"

"Well I was stabbed by somepony that I pissed off. He also did a number on my friend...wait did you say there were two others near me?"

Blitz responded "yeah...wait why."

"would one of them by any chance be a grey Pegasus?" I asked

"Yes one of them was a grey pegasus now answer my question!"

"I think that Pegasus was the one who stabbed me."

"Hold on" she then picked up a small folder and rummaged through it and held a description of a patient and the description matched Wind Breaker.

"Yeah that's the one." I responded

"What did you do to get him that angry?"

"I didn't do anything. I was up for trial and he argued with Sombra about my sentence and then Sombra got angry at him and used some fancy dark magic spell that causes intense pain."

"Interesting...well anyway um, so we pushed Sombra and his army into the city but we couldn't get in cause those crystal walls are tough so we camped outside the walls for a while and during the night they attacked us so we fell back to our previous camp location...well I'm bored."Blitz then turned around and began walking away.

"Did you explain everything to him Blitz?"

"why wouldn't I Red Cross?" she called back

"You have a tendency to rush things." Red Cross replied

Blitz just rolled her eyes and walked off and later I could hear her say "hey princess one of them woke up and had an interesting story. turns out that one we captured stabbed him and did a beating on his friend."

Soon after I herd a beautiful voice say "Is it possible for me to visit this stallion? I'd like to see if he will tell me more."

"Well that would be for Red Cross to answer." Blitz said

Blitz then entered the tent again and called out "hey Red Cross the Princess wants to see if she can visit the one who just woke up."

When Blitz spoke he turned and listened and then turned back to the patent and said some words then turned back and said "yeah it's okay if she comes in" Blitz then exited and soon a very tall, white unicorn...wait, she has wings...ah that's right, alicorn entered the room and approached me.

she picked up a nearby clipboard "hello Lunar Aurora as you probably know I'm Princess Celestia. Do you mind pointing out which pony stabbed you?"

I responded "sure" I then started getting up slightly wincing in pain.

Princess Celestia then put a hoof up to stop me "I don't think you're ready to get up."

"This is nothing compared to what Sombra puts us through...were forced to leave soon after we wake up no matter the injury."

She then thought about is for a second then put her hoof back down and I continued to get up

"um...Princess another one of them is waking up." Red Cross said

The Princess and I then approached and I saw it was Wind Beaker

"Is that...Wind Breaker?" Celestia asked

"wait...you know him?" I asked

"yes...he was one of my generals that went missing a while ago...why was he fighting for Sombra...he was one of the most loyal ponies I've seen." Celestia replied

"He still is very loyal just not with you and also he's now one of Sombra's generals and so am I."

"Wait, you're one of Sombra's generals?"

"well...yes but I don't ever want to go back." I said nervously

Her horn began to glow and shortly after shot the spell at me. I tensed up before it hit me and when it did I only felt a bit of a tingle "what was that?" I asked

"It was just a spell to tell if what you said was a lie." Celestia responded "and fortunately the result was that you did not lie."

We turned to look at Wind Breaker which started opening his eyes slowly and soon they shot open "oh um Princess I didn't expect to see you...wait what happened during the attack?"

"We pushed Sombra back into the Crystal Empire but in the night they attacked." Celestia responded

"um...how long was I out? I was talking about when Sombra ambushed us just south of Baltimare."

"Are you talking about the battle that happened over two years ago when you went missing?" Celestia asked

"TWO YEARS?!? How in equestria did I forget two entire years."

"Lunar Aurora here said that you're one of Sombra's generals."

"You think I want to fight FOR Somb..." he suddenly stopped and clamped his hooves onto head

"Wind Breaker are you okay?" Celestia asked with a worried look on her face

Wind Breaker put his hooves down and stared at them and had a look of absolute terror "No I couldn't have done that." he said with a bit of a twitch

"Done what?" Celestia asked

"How can I live with myself after knowing that I've killed hundreds of innocent ponies and put thousands of others into slavery."

"Don't worry Wind Breaker I don't think you had a choice." Celestia reassured

"Didn't have a choice? I could have sneaked out easily but I didn't, I continued to kill."

"Wind Breaker...Sombra knows a spell that can manipulate and bend a pony's mind to do whatever he wants."

"How did you know that Sombra knew a spell that can do that?" I asked

"Um...well...I taught him the spell." Celestia responded

Me and Wind Breaker stared at her, eyes wide open and Red Cross who was on the opposite side of the room looked over with the same look on his face "you taught King Sombra an evil king that wants to enslave all ponykind a spell that helps him enslave more ponies?!"

"He was not always an evil king...he was once a good friend of mine and I trusted him with any of my knowledge...including some

dark magic...I thought his mind would be able to hold back the corruption of dark magic but that was a terrible mistake...he grew power hungry and stole some books containing the most powerful spells known to ponykind." Celestia said

Wind Breaker had a look of relief but still with a bit of distressed look "thank you Princess for telling me about that spell."

"Well I think you should get some sleep for that concussion." Celestia said

"I have a concussion?" Wind Breaker asked

"Yeah...I might have smashed a rock into your head after you stabbed me." I said

"Sorry about that." Wind Breaker apologized. "well you can leave now. I don't want you to be watching me sleep."

"That would be quite creepy." I said then Celestia and I turned around and left the tent.

We sat for a bit until she broke the silence "do you have anypony to go to."

"My family was killed in Sombra's initial attack." I responded

"oh...I'm sorry for your loss."

"I barely knew them...I was very young when it happened."

We awkwardly sat for a while longer until Celestia broke the silence again "If you want you can move south to try to get away from Sombra...everypony that's not fighting has moved south already."

"Is it possible for me to join your army? I asked

"You will need to sign some papers but yes." Celestia replied "I'm surprised you would even want to get close Sombra when you saw what he does first hand."

"That's one of the reasons I'm doing it. I want to help put an end to Sombra's reign." I said

"Okay if you really want to." Celestia said and then her horn started glowing and a green flame started swirling and dissipated revealing some papers "just sign these papers to join."

"Bit difficult without a pen." I said

"oops" her horn began glowing again and a pen levitated out of the tent and from inside the tent I heard "Hey!".

I took the pen out of the air and signed all the papers then after I finished I handed them to Celestia "that's it?"

"Yes...you are now fighting for a greater cause." Celestia said

Lunar Aurora's promotion is supposed to show that Sombra is very desperate for solders and how bad of a leader he is.

if you couldn't tell Lunar Aurora woke up in Celestia's military camp.
