Love is a pitiful thing that creatures cling to in the hope that they are not alone and uncared for. They blindly fall for this lie believing that is will bring order into their lives.

My name is King Sombra and I have learned the truth that order will destroy this world and love will not save us or help us in any way  at all.Once a friend of mine long ago tried to warn us about what was happening to our world but we ignored him and locked him away for trying to destroy the order we had worked so hard to create. i wish we had actually paid attention to him back then, maybe just maybe the future would have been different and better in the end if we had.

After he was imprisoned i  got around to thinking about what he was trying to say and eventually came to the belief that he was right all along. If our world continued down the current path we had set it on it would die.

After what we did to our friend when all he was trying to do was show us the errors of our way of thinking i could not simply sit by and do nothing while our world rotted.

With great hast i hurried back to the kingdom i ruled and called home with one thing on my mind. If our love for our citizens is what led us to fight for the order that is killing us then i would use hate to tear it down so that we may live on. After all if love created the order the surely loves counter-part would help be able to destroy it.

I began in secret in the beautiful crystal kingdom i had created. My kingdom was the very epitome of love in the country if i could cause it to fall to hate then perhaps it would just be enough to stop what we had started in out blind beliefs.

Sadly it was not meant to be.My plans had been discovered by two of the ones i had considered friends and they were on their way to try and put a stop to it. In haste i sent a letter to the only other remaining member of our group of friends detailing what was happening and how out wish for peace and order would destroy the very things we had sought to protect. I begged her to do whatever it took to prevent this.

After i had sent my letter off with a spell i did the only thing i could. I placed a curse on my kingdom to keep the others from undoing the work i had started. With that done i left my kingdom to meet the ones  that i once considered my friends.

When they arrived where my kingdom was supposed to be and found only me they were furious. In their blind rage they sealed me within the very ice that surrounded my kingdom.

I did not resist because eventually I will be able to break free and as long as my kingdom is hidden my work shall remain safe. One day i will return to finish what has been started. I just hope it won't be too late when i do
