The Tale of One Shadow

Sombra sighed as he held the lunar princess in his arms, never wanting to let her go.  She was snuggled in his dark grey fur, softly sleeping as the moon glowed high above them.

He still couldn’t believe a mare like her could even care for him, let alone date.  As the stars twinkled, Sombra began to pull Luna closer to him, never wanting the sun to rise, never wanting her to go, to once again leave him alone.

Thank the lord Princess Celestia didn’t know, otherwise he would be dead for even coming across her sister.  Luna stirred, her eyes slowly opening to his ruby ones.  She smiled softly before letting out an annoyed sigh.

  Sombra also sighed, angry that it was almost dawn, meaning she would have to raise the moon and leave him.  She slowly began to stand up, and did her royal duty.  Sombra hated the day.  It was so hot, it was so radiant, and most of all, it was more appreciated than Luna’s beautiful night.

Luna sighed before hugging Sombra, kissing him on the forehead before taking off to the sky, heading back to the palace.

Sombra sighed and began trotting towards the Crystal Library.  Much like our dear Princess Twilight, Sombra loved to read, in fact, he read more than she ever has, or possibly will.

“Hey!  That’s not true!”, Pinkie yelled, jumping to her hooves, glaring at the draconequus .

Discord rolled his miss-matched eyes.  “It most certainly is!”, he yelled back.

“Is not!”

“Is too!”

“IS NOT!!”

“IS TOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Discord!  Pinkie Pie!”, Rarity scolded, glaring death stars at them, causing them to fall silent.

“Can we please get back to the story?”, Fluttershy asked quietly, barely above a whisper.

“Ah, yes, of course, my dear!”, Discord replied.

Sombra now had his muzzle in a book, reading about magic.

“Oh silly!  Only Twilight does that stuff!”, Pinkie giggled.

Discord rolled his eyes.

“Well, folks, looks like Pinkie isn’t going to stop giggling soon, so stay tuned for the next chapter!  Bye everypony!”, Discord said, before closing the forth wall.
