Sombra, having finally been cured of the shadow that corrupted him for so long, is in for a wild ride when he finds out that his shadowed form used one of his oldest spells just before it was destroyed.

When Sombra wakes up in the Frozen North he is overjoyed to be free of the shadow that had corrupted his mind, however that feeling quickly turns to fear when he discovers the pony laying next to him.
A long time ago King Sombra created the Crystal Ponies, using a cloning spell he invented to make basic copies of a pony and then editing the copies until he had a new species. The Shadow had apparently used the same spell on one Twilight Sparkle, right before being destroyed.
Sombra is responsible for the clone's well being, and they will have to find a way out of the tundra themselves, since he cannot return the the Crystal Empire. He is determined to keep her safe, but will that be at the cost of himself.

Meanwhile Luna searches for her long lost friend, despite to find him before something else dose. But her sister is certain he will be fine, and that he will find his way back to her she need only wait.

Teen for possible gore and possible mild sexual content (nothing graphic,)
Constructive criticism is always welcome :)

Prologue: My love and Me

I'm still not sure what she saw in me. She was perfect, never have I seen a mare who was so kind, so beautiful, and so proud. She was a warrior and an artist, She was a ruler and a friend.

But she was so afraid, so terrified of what others saw in her. It often disgusted me how cruelly she was ignored.

We where both artist in a way, though I could never compete with her, we where both scientist as well.

I invented a new spell. I used a donor's genetic material and my magic to create a pony that was none of the three tribes.The spell then allowed the caster three years to edit the ponies genetic makeup and create a new breed.  neither the donor or the clone was hurt, I was thrilled. I shared my findings with my love and her sister, they both decided to try it.

My love created the Bat ponies who lived in the night and grew to love her, truly that was all she had ever wanted and it made her very happy.

Her sister created the changelings but soon lost control, they abandon her. We tried to console her only to find she was not upset, she laughed the whole situation away and created the Breezies. They loved her but where to small for our world so she made them one of their own,

I created the Crystal Ponies, I wanted to make them unique, I ruled them for a few years then left them to govern themselves, satisfied to watch them from the shadows.

My love created the Vamponies, but she could not control them. Eventually, when we would not let them kill, they fled  Equestria to find somewhere they could be free to be themselves. I believe she was proud of them despite their blood lust

I love, have always loved her, and always will love her.

She was afraid to loose me and so she made me immortal that I might live with her forever, I was given no choice but nor did I protest, I did not want her to ever be alone, Shortly there after we where wed, it was a small wedding for somepony of her title and position.

Years latter we had a foal, her mother started her name with My Love, though I still think it made her name to long. Our child has since forgotten about us, and abandon the first part of her name in favor of a much shorter version.

She started teaching me dark magic, I was not eager to learn but she was very eager to teach. She came across a spell she never should have cast. She lost control of it and as a consequence I lost control of myself, something took over my mind and I became a bystander in me own body, able only to watch the destruction the Shadow caused. It claimed the Crystal Empire, and set its sights on a much larger target.  She and her sister sealed me and my kingdom away to protect Equestria.

She should have left well enough alone.

She was heart broken and set to studying the spell more closely in hope of finding a cure. She altered it, and hoping she had created a reverse spell, cast it again. The darkness took her so completely her sister could not save her, and instead sealed her away for one thousand years hoping to find a cure before she returned.

Her sister raised our daughter, and so great was her shame that she could not save the child's parents, she never spoke of us to her, even though her mother is free now she still dose not know who we are to her.

After my exile the Shadow watched all of this from our prison, it broke free.

My daughter struck it down.

Now it is gone from me, and I've woken to find that it used my cloning spell on the unicorn known as Twilight Sparkle.
