Sombra had been in this cage for month since his defeat........his second defeat. Some purple unicorn and her pet dragon had found the crystal heart and returned it to the crystal ponies. Ever since that he had also gotten memories and visions of his past. Almost as if the crystal heart was giving it to him. One vision in particular is coming back to him often..........Luna. Before the magic he and Luna were very close, some would even consider it love. Of course Sombra was terrible in distinguishing such feelings. The only thing he had to clue him off was the fact that every time he saw her face in his visions Sombra's heart beat a mile a minute and once the vision faded he felt this sort of strange desire. His heart would drop to his hooves and a wave of sadness would wash over him. It hadn't been very long since he had just gotten over another vision of her.......she was laughing. Oh how he wished that he could hear that laugh again in real life.

Sombra was sitting in the corner of his cage, his head to the ground and small frown on his face. The visions of Luna made certain feelings resurface that he had forgotten he could even possess. There was a creaking sound as the large dungeon doors opened letting light leak through. Sombra paid it no mind. The puddle of water he was staring into very briefly showed once again Luna's face. "Luna," he said.

"No, it's Cadence," said a pink alicorn mare,"how do you know aunt Luna," Cadence said eyeing Sombra suspiciously.

"What?" he said snapping back to attention. "Who said that?"

"Me, now i will ask one more time. How do you know aunt Luna."

"I would rather not speak of it."

"You were asked a question, now answer it!" said the guard that undoubtedly accompanied Cadence down to his cell.

"Can he at least leave if I must tell you," Sombra said exasperated.

"How do i know you won't use your magic to attack the princess if I leave," said the guard.

"Are you seriously worried about that? I'm in more chains than i ever though possible and you are using every magic suppression spell in the books. There is nothing I could possibly do to her."

"I will be fine, you don't even have to go to far if it makes you feel better."

"Fine, but only because you want this not me," the guard said tuning to leave.

"Alright, we're alone now, so tell me. How do you know my aunt Luna?"

Sombra sighed as he began recounting the events that led him to come to know Luna. "Well I met Luna on the day of the summer sun celebration, there was a time before the magic, though i cant recall much. Anyways Luna was just as much a child as me and would often go out into Canterlot just to have fun. Anyways she was at the park looking out over a lake so naturally i went over to introduce myself. We were in the middle of a conversation and lost track of time. Anyway once we realized what time it was Luna rushed off to go raise the moon. Not before promising to come back the next the day. Our friendship grew quickly and after some time i felt myself feeling.... closer than i normally would for anyone. Anyway that's how i knew her."

"You loved her."

"That's ridiculous, even before the darkness i never grew that close to anypony."

"Anyone can fall in love Sombra, besides, I am the princess of love i can sense it in you."

Sombra looked up at Cadence,"I miss her."

"I think i can help you."

"How?"

"Well love is as strong as friendship, if not stronger. If you truly love Luna then i could possibly dis spell most of the dark magic."

"Ya most, what about the magic that's left?"

"That's up to you to get rid of it. My magic can only do so much."

"Oh and how am i supposed to do that?"

"Simple, you have to prove that the magic doe not affect who you once were."

"Because that's just going to be so easy," Sombra said with a snort.

"I said it was simple, not easy, are you in or not?"

Sombra was about to say no, then an image popped into his head, one of Luna's sweet smile and kind eyes. "I'm in."

Cadence's horn began glowing a bright blue. The glow became brighter and brighter until it looked almost white. Then the magic blasted strait into Sombra's heart. Before he could see the rest everything went dark.

when Sombra awoke Cadence was standing in his cell and most of the chains that had kept him still had been removed. "Did it work?" Sombra gasped at how differently his voice sounded. It sounded like the voice of a normal stallion, like it could be kind. He also felt much less angry.

"It worked. Granted the only thing that still hasn't changed is your horn. Anyway the guards agreed to let you go free as long as i was around to keep an eye on you," Cadence said as she undid the last of the chains and helped Sombra to his feet.

"Do you really think Luna could still love me?"

"I do, but only if you can show her that you can change."

"Thank you."
