"Twily!!!!!,TWILY!!!!"
"huh...?" "Shinny!!!!"
As Twilight woke up her horn lighted magic to see, she look the area around it was dark and cold. The ground was ice and snow. The wind hold and her echo of her calling out her brother ring across the cave. She look up and saw the area she fell. It look like she had fell down five or ten miles down. She stand up and sat on her rump.
"Hello."
"Brother."
"Where am I?"
"Hello!!!. ANY PONY HEAR ME!!"
She only heard her echo, and she stated cry.
"I guess... this pit is to deep for any pony or thing to hear, and... I'm alone."
She try to put her self together to tell her self to stop crying.
"Keep it together Twilight. You can do this. Shining Armor and your friend won't give up there find you, they have Ruby he knows his way around this place."
As she felt good and then she heard something like somepony crying. She had to investigate.
‘It sounds like I’m not the only one who is down here. Maybe we can work together and get out’ she thought.
But as soon as she found the source of the crying she couldn’t believe what she saw.
“Sombra?”
The king look at who said that “ Stay away from me you freak!!!”
She saw Sombra charging his horn with dark magic and she ran. But he did not fire anything out. She stop and said something to herself ‘Only things he wanted was to see the crystal fair and he never saw it. Plus he made his only friend ran from him, and she as been die for a long time she was one of the founder of healing magic.’
But she remembered what her sister in-law said on that day they found his journey ‘ That and to crush the crystal ponies under his hoof.’
She took one deep breath and said to herself ‘Let’s hope I don’t regret this.’
She walked toward the Sombra. He was looking at the cave wall not looking at Twilight. He noticed the sound of hoofs coming close to his “ I told you to stay away...”
Twilight put on hoof on his shoulder “Are you hurt. I can help up.”
It has been a thousand years since somepony had said that too him . Sombra questioned him self. 'But why her why is Twilight doing this?'
“How dare you touch me!!!!” He transformed in his shadow form.
“Sombra I know more scarier things that your shadow form”.
“But I can still kill you!!!!!! Princess!!!!!!”
"You could, but you are stupid enough to do that. And you will not. So go ahead play the monster, if you wish. I know, who you really are. You will not kill me, and the same with Amore"
Sombra thought to him self agian. ' She must know my journal. How else she near I did not kill the original princess of the Crystal Empire.'
As Sombra changed back to his pony form he said."So not only you found the crystal heart, but you read my journal."
"Yes, that's right how did you know that I found the heart." said Twilight.
"When you unlock my chamber I saw you and that dragon." The king said.
"You mean Spike." Twilight said.
"How did you get a dragon"said Sombra.
"Well that's a long story, the same time I got my cutie mark in magic." said Twilight.
"So your like, The Princess of Magic?"said Sombra.
"No, it's Friendship it is hard to explain that but the shot answer is I or my friends help those who have problems with others. But Friendship is Magic." said Twilight.
"So why are you crying?" said Twilight.
"I will tell, if you say why are you down here" said Sombra.
"I been having dreams for like a month of cold and icy like areas. And you where in all of them. Some of them you where crying." said Twilight.
"So you explore the frozen north to do what, clear your head of your dreams alone?"Sombra said.
"No my brother, my five friends and a guide where with me. And it funny how I bumped in to you." said Twilight.
Sombra enjoyed being with Twilight, so much he felt happy? So he said it. "So now you want to know why I'm sad, l will tell you."
It was hard for Sombra to say it but he had to it is the only to build trust with Twilight, he knew that. "When I was down here I here something call my name... It was a big red crystal and I...I.. knew what that was. It is a was for me to talk to the Umbrum and there.. was one saying.. my name.. my Mother.. I... told her every thing I did for the past thousand years.. but.... but... she was angry of me.. and said that your not even worth to be call my... son... and I felt bad I did not wanted to get out of here so I stayed here. So that no pony would be hurt."
Twilight felt bad "What you did here, By not killing me says that you are no mindless monster. I'm sorry I wasn't there for thousand years ago, but I can help you".
"No you don't. I don't want to hurt another pony. You have the most prefect life. You have a loving family, You have great friends, a beautiful castle, a brother that would probably searching you right now, and your Alicorn Princess. All I am is the thing that parent's tell there children about, a monster. You probably have no sad story in your life"
As Sombra stop talking Twilight spoked in angry. "My life was not all prefect! I wasn't born as an alicorn! You have no right to tell me that!"
Twilight controlled her self and told her story when she was a filly. "When I was a filly love to read. My parents notice I love reading magic books, they had some book with magic but I when to the library more often. When I was getting to the school for gifted unicorns that when I got my cutie mark in magic, and became Princess Celestia's pupil. But at the school there where bullies, they knew what I like and they made fun of me, because I like books. And I never had really good friends at that age until I life in ponyville. But the days in at that school, I never had a friend the only one that knew me like a friend was Celestia, Spike, and my books."
She was done with her story and gave a question to Sombra "So let me help you. I can reform you like Discord. You don't have to use your magic for evil. I know it will take a long time for every pony to be nice to you but you have should me today that you can change."
But Sombra made so many excuses. "All they want is to kill me or put me chains. Celestia said that my heart is as black as night. And your brother will be glad I would be in chains or beheaded."
"You can't be sure of that" said Twilight
"Across I can, I enslave them" said Sombra.
Twilight touch where his heart and Sombra said "What are you doing..."
"Your not evil. Your gentle, your nice and your not a monster. You need to show the ponies of Equestria that you can be a Good King." said Twilight.
She put her hoof down on the cold ground. "Now you know the why out let us find the way out. Together."
Sombra though to him self and then said "Can you give me a moment to think"
Twilight waited for him and said to herself 'I knew that work. He need to talk to some pony. he as not talk to any pony like this for a thousand years. And i think that help.'
As Sombra walk to his crown to pick it up, his mind was fighting something that wanted out.
'WHY do you think she is different. She is your enemy Remember!!!!! She is not what you think she is a student of Celestia.' the darkness said.
"She... speaks to me like a friend. And she is different." Sombra said.
'How dare you even think she will forgive you!! She is doing this for her brother'. The darkness said as it appeared to Sombra.
' You and I are the monster, do you think she is different as Hope was. She ran from you!!!! Because your a Monster remember'
"No. Hope did not run from me, I ran away from Hope. And will not do it the same to Twilight!"
The darkness disappear and Sombra saw Hope behind him. But it was Twilight "Sombra. Are you alright "
"Yes Hop... I mean Twilight. Yes let's get out of there."
As Twilight and Sombra walk to find the way out. He left his crown. By leaving his crown it shows that he was walk a new path.
