The Only Love of Sombra

Chapter II: Looking Back, Part II

The black glow around Sombra`s horn faded as he returned to his new home: a cold, unforgiving icy wasteland. He had watched that memory for the last time, and now he would find his way out. It was no less than a labyrinth, nearly impossible to navigate without getting lost.

It`s been twenty years, Celestia. He thought. Your time of peace is over!

Sombra levitated his remaining scythe above his head and began chipping away at the wall of ice in front of him. He had secretly given Luna his other scythe as a memento. Losing it diluted his power greatly, but it was worth giving her some hope that he would return.

This place has earned its name. The Wasteland of The Damned. Especially now that I`m here.

The scythe changed its color from black to red as it began emanating white-hot flames, melting large amounts of ice. With one swing, a majority of the area in front of him was decimated, allowing Sombra to continue his journey. He replaced his scythe, strapping it across his neck with the blade pointing backward. As he walked calmly, he could hear a scraping sound from behind him. A large white wolf with piercing blue eyes and bloodstained fangs charged towards Sombra.

"Idiot Lupines. Why must you insist on me killing you?"

The slightly aged unicorn fired a beam of green magic energy at the beast, causing its eyes to turn an identical color. With a flick of his hoof, the Lupine`s neck snapped like a twig. He dropped its body to the ground and continued walking. Finally, the former king stopped at a dead end, seeing a beam of sunlight shining through a hole above him.

"Finally! My way out!"

With a flash of green light, Sombra began using a series of miniature teleportation spells to fly up the wall of ice. He landed on its edge and looked around, seeing nothing but snow, ice, and the occasional outline of a Lupine or a native bird.

This puts me one step closer to her. I`m coming, Luna!

Sombra continued running at his highest speed after using a mini-teleport to boost his momentum. A beautiful aurora formed in the air above him, colored in shades of green, blue, and grey.
