"Spike! I'm going to the shadow relam. I want you to watch the kingdom while I'm gone." I say.

"Why can't you make someone else do it I hate taking different forms." He said.

"Sorry, Spike you're the only one who plays my part just as well as me." I say as I change him into my replication.

"Well, I'm not happy about it." My replica complains.

"When I get back I will let you go and get some lovely gems to eat" I say to him.

"Okay, deal." He says with what sounds like unhappiness.

"Hey, only a day then all the gems you could eat." I say to him kindly

I conjure the portal to the darkness

I hate being nice that is one thing that makes me look weak, good thing the shadow relam is not anyplace for ponies, but maybe I could lighten up on the niceness a little and pass a few laws containing more taxes, much harsher punishments, and even tighter nightwatches. But the main thing we could work on is less outsiders, the griffins, changelings, and wildlife to get in the way of the ponies who live here.

I walk through the portal and instantly I'm swarmed by dark creatures their eyes have a dot of red with darkness all around them. I see a cruel look to them.

"Take me to Sombra."

They looked confused for a second, then murmurs went throughout the crowd what sounded like the dark king and king of darkness moved around when a taller being nodded and motioned to follow him as so the creatures moved around me.

I could tell they didn't like the looks of me many who come here either don't return or escape while killing off a lot of dark beings. I personally don't care either way I'm to busy with my own problems to worry about this. As I approach the castle that of which must be Sombra's I wonder why Sombra would ever want to live here its so drab with no bustle or motivation all the townsfolk look bored as could be.

As I walk through the doors to the throne room I yell to him,"Is this anyway to treat a guest."he was shocked or surprised to see me here because he quickly got out of his lax position and back into his formal look.

"I didn't expect you, princess. But you are still most welcome here with us."He mumbled something else I couldn't make out but still his none hostile nature towards me was suprising. He wants something.

"I have come strictly on business I must speak with you privately" I motion towards the guards

"Yes, yes, guards be gone" he stated and one guard started to argue. He was instantly annihilated and all Sombra did was lift a finger. The rest filed out as quickly as they filed in.

"Umm basing on our the treaty that was made a few years ago I can asure you I'm still completely on with the treaty I was just here to see if you still were with me on this." I explain

"Why of course the treaty is still on why wouldn't it be?" he asks with a wicked smile

"Well there is no reason for it to be over just checking up on it."I say.

"Well even though, I must say you are very brave coming here with no guard or anyone." He said in a matter of fact kind of tone.

"Well along with political business I came here for a bit of private business too." I say with a hushed voice.

"Well, tell me all about it." He says in a booming voice.

"As you may know the only one who can defeat me at this time is my daughter, who's location is unknown, but recently I've sensed her presence in south west Equestria, the cover spell weakened a little for a second enough time for me to know she is out there. So I have come to ask for your help can you let me borrow a couple of dark solders to come with me to find her." I expain

"Well, I don't know what might I get in return?" He asks with deveant glee.

"What if I gave you the crystal empire and casted a spell on all of the crystal ponies so they are again immortal?" I blurt out.

"Hmmm you do drive a good bargain and I'll give you time to get your brother and sister-in-law out before we take over. How does that sound? Do we have-" He stuck out his paw,  "a deal?"

I look down and sigh, I reach out and we shake,then a blast of darkness goes out over the castle and two guards appear by me.

"You two take her and do what she tells you, don't fail her or you will have failed me. Now begone." He dismissed us with a wave and I was escorted out.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sitting in class when I hear.

"Would, Clearia Teisal, please report to my office." I hear him over the intercom.

Whispers and snickers went through out the class Miss Redwing tried to quiet them but with no luck just simply said over them.

"Don't worry maybe it is an award they want to give you." She gave a look of confidence.

"The award of punishment." I say with a sigh, as I stand and walk to the drab principle's office.

As I walk In I notice Faria and Candy sitting at the desk with Mr. Malkyspet sitting in front of them looking unusually gloomy I wonder to myself who died in a joking manner then I saw Candy had been crying. As I took my seat Landy bustled through the door.

"What happened?" he asked.

Candy started crying again

Mr. Malkyspet spoke up first. "It's your mother,Clearia" he pauses.

"What, what about our mother!" I yell. I have tears already forming in my eyes

He begins with a bit of content."She's missing."
