History is written by the victory. Usually they make it truthful, but not always. King Sombra had a son. Sombra wasn't always an evil tyrant. He raised and cared for his son. He taught him all he knew. But as such, those who are great will usually fall. Sombra fell. Phonyyx, his son, has traveled Equestria. With enough knowledge and experience to topple and raise empires. Throughout the centuries, Phonyyx became something different from the pony he used to be. Immortality is a curse. Can he change?
