Who was I?

"Hello there stranger, are you okay?" said a voice.

A pony slowly opened his eyes to see a blue cloak wearing alicorn standing over him. "Ugh...who are you?"

"My name is Awa, don't worry, we managed to revive you and patch you up as best we could, but even with our best efforts, you are not going to live much longer."

"What do you mean?" asked the confused stallion, only to suddenly feel intense pain shoot across his body. "Agh, it hurts!" the stallion looked down to see a large gash running down from his chest to his lower stomach. "What the?!"

"Is he awake Goody Awa?" said a green cloak wearing alicorn.

"He just woke up Goody Kin."

"Good," the green cloaked alicorn said. "I'll get Mistress Superior." trots off.

"What's going on?" grunted the stallion in pain. "Where's Hikari?"

"Hikari? Are you referring to the companion you were with?" asked Awa.

"That 'companion' happens to be my long time marefriend! Where is she? Is she okay?" snarled the stallion, breathing hard from the increasingly unbearable pain.

"Sadly, we were unable to save her, she was too far gone," Awa, using her magic, materialized a cup of tea. "Here, have this, it should numb the pain." gives it to the stallion.

"BUCK YOU!" slapped the tea away from him. "Where's my marefriend and what do you mean by 'too far gone'?" the pain wearing his patience thin.

"She was far too near death from what those Diamond Dogs did to her for our magic to have any use on her." interjected a new voice. The new alicorn, now wearing a red cloak, turned to Awa. "You are dismissed Goody Awa."

"Yes Mistress Superior." bowed Awa before she trotted away.

"Wait...what?!" the stallion still couldn't comprehend what is happening.

"Hikari is dead, and you will be too if you won't let us help you."

"Hikari...is...dead?" in shock.

"Yes, but there isn't enough time for you to mourn her death, you have less than five minutes before the pain literally paralyzes your heart." explained Mistress Superior as she calmly trotted to a table and began making a potion.

"This war as robbed me of everything I loved." began the stallion. "I tried to keep away, but I ended up loosing those who I hold dear, especially the first and only mare who loved me for who I was." began crying, mourning her death.

"I sense a feeling of vengeance flowing through you." stated the alicorn as she finished up the potion. "Am I correct?"

"I just want the war to end and make those dogs accountable for all the pain and suffering they're causing."

"Well...we here at the sisterhood also want this terrible war to end as well, and I know just the way to make that goal a reality."

"What...do...you mean?" breathing harder, the stallions coat matted in sweat and blood.

"If I told you that you could become a warrior?"

"A warrior?"

"Not just any warrior...but a VERY powerful warrior, a warrior whose power can rival that of the Royal Sisters? A Shadhavar."

The stallion just laughed through the pain. "Shadhavars...are just...a myth."

"Not anymore." the alicorn presented the stallion with a chalice filled with a black liquid spewing purple and green smoke. "Drink this, and you will gain the ability to make those Diamond Dogs pay for all the crimes they committed during this horrible war."

"And...if I say...no?"

"You die...knowing that you and your marefriend died for nothing." the alicorn explained without emotion.

The stallion said nothing for a moment, just staring at the alicorn, her red cloak obscuring her face, except for her red mane, horn and light peach wings. "Who are you exactly?"

"I go by many names, my followers call me Mistress Superior, I call myself 'The Instigator'; the one who sets events into motion." she answered matter-of-factually.

"Why?"

The alicorn said nothing for a moment. "What's your decision? Drink or die?"

The stallion didn't know what to do, he could either die and escape this miserable world with his marefriend, or become a warrior so that her death can be avenged, the Diamond Dogs can be defeated and the Crystal ponies free and happy again.

He immediately reached for the chalice. "I'm dead...no matter what I chose." took the chalice and drank it all in one gulp. "O, untimely death!" closed his eyes and his body fell limp.

Sombra smiled as he looked out the window from Twilight's room. "Twilight will be mine, all mine, and she will rule by my side as my queen, and Celestia will be utterly crushed." he hissed to himself. "To see sun-butt hurt over seeing ANOTHER student of hers turn to the dark-side will be fantastic." he laughed to himself.

He heard the chamber door open, he turned around to see Twilight walk in. "How did your morning go my love?" he asked.

"Busy as usual, but I managed to get at least an hour to ourselves." the lavender alicorn climbed up to her bed, and lied down on her side like a pin-up model. "So, where did we leave off before I had to cut the fun short?"

Sombra just smiled. He climbed up to the bed and got on top of the alicorn, passionately kissing her. "I was thinking Twily."

"What?"

"How about we instead cuddle and drink so tea?" gently nipping her neck.

"Are you sure?" moaned Twilight.

"I just want to spend time with you, we can save 'fun times' for the night okay?" he smiled.

"Whatever you want Kage, and here I though you would be like all stallions and think of nothing but rutting." Twilight giggled.

"Oh, I'm defiantly NOT like other stallions Twily, trust me." explained Sombra in a smug tone.

"I'm glad." Twilight smiled as she passionately kissed Sombra one last time before gently pushing him off of her so she could get up and get some tea. "I'll be right back with the tea." walked out of the room.

Sombra stayed on bed, grinning an evil grin. "Twilight is mine, all mine!" he laughed to himself.
