The crystal holder

"Ah." I sat back on my bed in my room relaxing on my bed, staring at the crystal heart. Being a crystal holder haves its perks! Even got my own room!  Now all I gotta do is watch this heart. I thought to myself kicking up my feet Its been a year now scenes I wound up in Equestria. One of Celestia's second most trusted students, I might add. Not trying to brag but I've sparred with shining armor multiple times and won well, once. But hey I still won!. It might have been a cheap shot, but it still counts and that all that matters.

As I was reminiscing bang bang! I jumped up and stumbled to the door who the heck could that be!? I then heard a smooth voice.

"Solomon are you up lazy bones~" I groaned. And cracked open the door to see a pink alicorn princess staring back at me. "So how is your first day going?" She said in a Cherie tone.

How can this mare be so happy all the time it's almost annoying!

"Good Cadence, So why are you here again?" Cadence smile faulted.

"You don't know?" She asked almost completely horrified. I rolled my eyes.

"What."

"I have to come and check on the crystal every day." She said trying to make her way in the room, but I quickly stopped her. She frowned at me. "What's wrong?"

"Well unlike you I have to get dressed." She furrowed her brow. Before she could speak. "It's a human thing." I deadpanned, as I shut the door I could hear her saying something about what I got to hide and she has basically seen it all. I sat down on my bed as I was getting dressed I kept glancing over at the crystal heart. Wow, Sombra is really in there? It looks so beautiful the last thing I would think is an evil pony who has enslaved thousands possibly millions of other pony's is in there.

As I slipped on my socks and shoes I got up and opened the door. The young alicorn princess trotted past me and to my dresser where the crystal heart was currently sitting. She looked at it and then turned to me. "Okay, it's your first day on the job let me explain the rules to you."

RULE#1"Under no circumstances do you break the crystal heart."

RULE#2 "You are to check up on the prisoner every day."

RULE#3"You cannot mention to anypony you hold the crystal that keeps king Sombra locked up."

"As you already know if you fail to keep king Sombra locked up you will be executed any more questions?" I gulped at the serious expression on her face.

"Um, do I get to take any breaks?" I laughed nervously rubbing my hand behind my head. Cadence rose her brow giving me the are you kidding me look.

"All I'm asking you to do is sit around in your room and watch a crystal, and you're asking for a break?"

I couldn't look her in the eye. Solomon this is a good time you should shut up! "Um, well...yes."

Cadence right eye twitched. The tension in the room was so thick you could cut it with a knife. "Solomon!" She barked  causing me to jump snapping me out of my trance. Cadence was glaring at me. "Do you think this job is a joke?"

Maybe just a little. I bit my lip trying not to laugh at my own joke."N-no." She then looked me up and down.

"Let's get this over with." With a sigh, she continued "The way to check on king Sombra touch the middle heart and if you want to leave there should be a portal waiting for you." I opened my mouth, but she rudely interrupted me. "No, he cannot escape because of a barrier we put around the portal to only let you escape. Any more questions?"

I thought long and hard and then something that terrified me popped into my mind. "Um, can king Sombra hurt me?" Cadence tilted her head to the side.

"HM! never really thought about that. But I'm sure you'll be fine." She waved a hoof dismissing our conversation. And just like that she was Cherie again. She turned around happily trotting out the room. Before she shut the door "Oh yeah one more thing!"

What could it be now! I growled to myself. She then looked me in the eye

"The fate of Equestria rest in your hands." The door was then enveloped by pink and slammed shut.

I sighed Thank god that's over!  I glanced at the crystal heart. "Well, there is only one thing to do now." I walked towards the crystal heart sticking my finger out and touched the middle of the heart. My vision was suddenly enveloped by white and I was gone. I looked up seeing nothing but darkness. "Wow, this is inside the crystal." I heard a subtle whimper come from the void. Who the hell is crying in here! I walked closer to the crying. sticking out my hands out for anything but I could feel nothing. So I just followed the sounds of the crying getting louder and louder.

I could see a light far away in the distant's I could see king Sombra crying. The sight shocked me so much I  gasped and apparently king Sombra heard it. He growled eyes focusing on me he then proceeded to get up. I gulped as he began galloping towards me. I turned the other direction and sprinted I could easily hear he was gaining on me. Apparently four legs are better than two! While I ran in no particular direction there was one thought going through my mind.Cadence you lying bitch!
