Reign of Shadows
Chapter 1: Prologue: After The Escape...
Load Full Story Next ChapterTwilight had no idea how long she had been fleeing for, but finally came in a cave hidden deep within Everfree Forest. Twilight checked in on her husbad who was still not moving. She decided to check his body with magic.
"Please be okay Sombra...please still live..." Twilight said, activating her magic. She suddenly gasped. Her magic was reacting, but it wasn't strong. "Sombra!" She exclaimed and started to use her magic to heal him. "I won't let you die...not like this...not when I am with child..." Twilight said as she continued to work her magic. It wasn't long before Sombra began to move again.
"Wh-where...am I...?" Sombra said slowly. Twilight shushed him.
"It's okay my love...do not speak." Twilight said, continuing her spell. "You were barely hanging in there. But I'm so happy that your alive." She said as she continued healing her one true love. "We should take some time to rest, but once we've rested enough..." Twilight added as she finished up. "...We need to start making plans; plans to overthrow Celestia and Luna so that we may rule Equestria." She finished with a grin. Sombra smiled at his queen.
"That sounds nice..." Sombra said. "My only hope is that we can accomplish such a goal." He added.
"I know we can do it, Sombra." Twilight said. "Together, we can do it. We just have to be smart about it. First, we should take back the Crystal Empire, and then think of where to go from there. But first, we'll need a much bigger army. Not to mention we need time to recover. No one will find us here in this cave. It's too far into Everfree Forest for search parties to even dare tread." She explained. "It's the perfect place to start planning our revenge." Twilight finished with a smirk.
"Twilight..." Celestia said weekly as Luna healed her. "She was too far gone...she's become another Starswirl..." Celestia added.
"As much as it pains me to admit it, the haste and determination that Twilight exhibited proves only one thing: That what your saying is true. I wonder if she's so far gone, that even her friends can't reach her." Luna said.
"I don't know...do you think it'll make a difference?" Celestia asked.
"It wouldn't hurt to at least try..." Luna said.
"Cadence..." Shining Armor rushed to his wife. "Honey, you look ill...is something wrong?" He asked.
"It's Twilight..." Cadence said, shivering like she had seen a ghost. "I felt something...something evil..." She said. "I don't think she's our twilight anymore...
"I really hope the princesses can bring Twilight back." Spike said as he and Twilight's friends hung out in sugarcube corner.
"But what if the two of them won't be enough? We should've gone with." Pinkie Pie said.
"All we can do is pray..." Rarity said.
"I don't like this. I should've gone with at least." Rainbow Dash said.
"We all wish we had done so..." Applejack said.
"Even me...I may be scared of Sombra but..." Fluttershy had a look of determination on her face. "But it would be for Twilight!" She added. Celestia soon arrived. No Twilight, just Luna.
"...I had a sinking feeling..." Spike said.
"We're sorry...Sombra has corrupted her more then we though he did." Celestia said.
"But perhaps, if she were to hear from you all, she might snap back into reality." Luna said.
"Just what we needed to hear!" Rainbow Dash said.
"We should figure out a way to find them though...no doubt their in hiding somewhere were it would be difficult to find them..." Fluttershy said.
"Ah agree." Applejack said.
"But we won't give up." Pinkie Pie said.
"I couldn't have said that better myself, darling." Rarity said. Luna and Celestia smilled.
"We shall leave finding them to the six of you. Me and my sister must make preparations...just on the off chance you fail. But I really hope you can get through to her." Celestia said.
"You can count on us!" Spike said.
"Just be wary should she decide to attack you..." Luna said. "If she does, run." She added. The girls and spike all nodded in agreement.
In the cave, Twilight had used the creation spell to make things more livable for their week's rest. Even a bed big enough for the both of them. Twilight helped Sombra into bed before joining him.
"It'll be a long week..." Sombra said.
"But it'll be worth it." Twilight said. She had a plan in case her friends showed up. With the aid of Dark magic, Twilight would force her friends to see things her way. Including Spike.
