The moon-light shined brightly. It’s pale face glowing and lighting up the two lovers, their lips locked in one as they stayed silent. The dark grey unicorn would be the first to break the kiss. He would smile, his scarf moving slightly with the wind. His blue eyes fixed on the purple mare in front of him, her lips still perked as if she was still in the kiss.

The Stallion would snicker, “Lulu, the kiss is over.” The purple mare would open her eyes, and just flushed red in embarrassment.

“Oh, I knew that.” They both snickered in the silence, the purple mare turning to look towards her back, did I hear something? But her paranoia was soothed as she felt the gentle touch of a hoof, guiding her chin to look at the stallion.

“Luna, dear, they don’t know I am here. You don’t have to worry, look.” The dark grey unicorn would lift his horn, his magic zapping the door, a small crystal bundle would appear at the point of the impact. The crystal was a light blue, and had an eye carved into one of the crystals. “I will see them coming, they will not have to know I was ever here.” The light purple mare just cuddling up close to Sombra, while his own muzzle came down to comfort her

“I just don’t know why we must hide like this. I’m sure they will understand if we just confront them, and tell them how much we love each other. I mean, Celestia should be sure to be on my side for this one, she always tells me to make myself happy by any means. Even if you have a low social status I’m sure they will understand. . . Right?” Sombra just bit his lip. He always hated royalty for this reason. The bluebloods never let in someone like him into their family. A Mutt-Blood, that was all he was to them, nothing more. He would snicker at the irony of the situation. To hate the Royal family, but yet be in love with one. Guess one could say chaos in well-shapen forms.

But as he looked down to see his lover, he couldn’t help but stop biting his lip and smile. Her light purple mane flowed silently. Dancing with the chilly winter wind, as something about the way the light hit her fur this night. Her beauty was unimaginable. He would just lower his head slowly, and pecks her gently on the cheek.

“Alright, alright. If you think it is our time, we will tell her, and your family. But let’s wait for another day, ok?” Luna just smiled and moved herself to wrap her hooves around Sombra’s neck, giving him a deep kiss. Sombra would blush very faintly, and smiles as the kiss slowly broke. Something would flash in the corner of his eye. The crystals would zapp back towards his horn, giving him the vision of the hallway. In the grand castle hall, a lone pink and blue maned pony walked slowly down the hallway. Her magics making two cups of cocoa levitate in the air.

Sombra would frown, “I have to go.” Luna mimicked the frown, and hugs his neck again before the dark unicorn moved towards the balcony. Sombra would climb over the railing, and placed his hind leg into the rope ladder’s first step, and he looked up one last time. Luna would give him another kiss, a kiss that was like Sombra leaving for the night, was him leaving for the rest of their lives. Sombra would smile, and begins to climb down quickly. Celestia’ voice would be heard as he was halfway down, making him sigh in relief. That was close. Maybe she didn’t see me. I hope so.

When he landed on the ground, he would lift his horn. The rope ladder would levitate and slowly dropped into it’s normal hiding spot, behind a bush under the balcony. Sombra would look around, but would feel something brush his muzzle, he would look down to his scarf, a crescent moon shaped mane clip would be attached. He would smile a little brighter, as he looked up to the balcony. “Good night.”

The sun’s rays would wake the dark grey pony. Sombra would groan and gets up. His little cot bed would creak as his weight was lifted off. Yawning, his joints popping as he stretched a bit. Standing up, the popping did not stop for another few seconds. His neck sounding the loudest, and left a cringing pain.

“Another day means another night.” He rehearsed, adjusting his scarf carefully around his neck, his hoofs gently outlining the moon. He would look into his broken window, covered by a black trash bag. Using his hoof he would grease back his obsidium mane. His horn glowing to float over his pickaxe.

He would slam the pickaxe down upon the stone. His body cringing, not wanting to do this anymore. He had already exhausted his magic, now resorting to his teeth for his labor. If he got behind, he might be cut from his pay, and rent was hard enough as it was. Clink! Another swing of the pickaxe, his neck straining from both his unpleasant morning cink, and swinging this damned pickaxe.

He would stop and wiped the sweat from his brow. A smile now growing on his face. Brushing the dirt from the gem. After awhile the gem would begin to glisten, and shine. It seemed to catch the attention of others, because a unicorn would turn around and shouted over his shoulder.

“Hey! Boss! I think Sombra found another one! Yeah he did! It looks like an amethyst!” A bearded earth pony would move from his sitting perch. He was an old, and hardened pony. his fur caked with dirt and small stones. All four of his hoofs were wrapped, and guarded with the normal miner plate. His face covered in both signs of intense exposure to dirt, and scars. After limping for about a minute, he would arrive next to Sombra. The old pony would take out a pair of prospector glasses, and would inspect the gem.

“Ye’ be right. Sombra, good job. Take a break, and shake a leg, ‘de princess needs to see ye’.” Sombra would refrain from smiling to those words, and just nodded, turning around, excited to see his lover.

“Yeah, I think Celestia is in the office on the ground.” Sombra’s heart would sink.

“Shit!”

Author's Note

This chapter was at first suppose to be a peom about these two, but it sparked into something bigger when I watched a video on Youtube. It even changed the character I had once had as Sombra's mate.
