Sombra's Revelation
Chapter 4: The Start of a New Life
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSo with those six mares helping me get a second chance I was really grateful, although I was a bit weary of learning about friendship. I mean it's good to have allies, but friends? I'm a bit neutral on the topic, but I might not be so open to call someone my 'friend' just yet. But for now I have a different problem as of right now, my stomach was growling and I quickly realized that I haven't any anything to eat in two days. Which got a out giggle from the six mares in front of me.
"Bite me, I haven't had anything to eat in two days." I growled at them all.
"Well I say we should treat our new friend to dinner." Cadance said which got a nodding agreement out of all of other ponies.
"Comon then," The pink one said while she smiled brightly. "Let's eat!" She said as she quickly ran off, as a matter of fact, she ran so fast that she created a dust cloud outline of where she was once standing which left me with a open jaw of amazement.
"Wha- H-How th-" I started to ask before Twilight stopped me.
"It's best not to understand Pinkie Pie. Trust me, I tried," She said as she shuddered. "It was not a fun experience. So we just say it's Pinkie being Pinkie."
"Uh right." I said as I scratched my head a bit.
We soon all started to walk after her to the dining hall while the lot of them we're having a conversation with one another, I kept to the back of the group and I was lazily dragging a hand across the crystal walls of the castle. Call me weird but I found the vibrations in my gloves that came from dragging my hand over the crystal walls to be rather soothing. As we walked I saw a few of the guards salute me as we all walked past them. It was nice to see a few of them still holding respect for me. But they had to know that I'm not their ruler any more and I shook my head at them as they saluted me. Although it saddened me a bit, I had to lose everything, even my most faithful guards. As we reached the dining hall, we all walked and they all took a seat, but they left open my seat, which was a lot more decorated than the other chairs. I gave Cadance a questioning glance, and she nodded for me to take a seat in my chair. "Well if this is my last meal here, might as well be in my own personal chair." I thought as I walked over to my chair and sat it in as a few maids came walking in to hand them all a menu, but not me but I said nothing, which they all looked at me with a raised brow.
"Uhhhhh. Aren't you going to say that they forgot your menu?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"No need." I shook my head at her. "The chefs know my usual meal." I chuckled.
The all continued to look at me for a few more seconds before they soon went to look at their menus. Within a few minutes a maid came back and asked for their orders, which all of them had a salad, but Spike just asked for a bowl of gems which got a odd look from the maid but Twilight explained that's what dragons ate. "Oh if only he knew my usual, he would be ordering the same exact thing." I chuckled mentally. And the maid took their orders and looked at me, which I nodded at her and she walked back into the kitchen.
"So if I'm going with you seven," I looked the six mares and Spike. I'm going to need the rest of your names. I know of Spike, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. But I don't know the full name of you Twilight, and I don't know the name of the white and yellow ones."
"Well my name is Rarity." The white one said.
"Um. I-I'm F-Fluttershy." The yellow one said quietly, which I barely heard.
"Could you speak up, I didn't quite catch that." I said.
"Eh, don't mind Fluttershy. She's like really shy." Rainbow Dash said.
"I sense some positive irony there." I thought.
"And my full name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said. "But just Twilight works."
"Well glad to know the rest of your names." I said. "But anyways, I have two things to say to the new rulers of the Crystal Kingdom."
"Well what is it." Shining Armor ask.
"One: Before I leave with these seven, I will need to take a few of my personal belongings from the armory." I said. "Two: Please keep the guards in order, some still are loyal to me, and I would rather not have them try and over throw you just for me to become the ruler again."
"That will be arranged." Cadance said as the maids came back with their meals and the maids went back into the kitchen.
They all soon started eating all except for Cadance who looked at me with worry. She was about to ask me something before a lone maid came out of the kitchen with a plate that had something that none of them ever expected. A hamburger with a glass of red wine on the plate and placed it in front of me which got sickening looks from them all expect for Fluttershy who was staring at me with wide eyes of fear while quivering with fear.
"S-Sombra, p-please don't tell me that's m-meat." Twilight croaked out.
"Of course it is. What you thought these fangs we're for show?" I asked as I flashed them a toothy grin.
"W-Why on Equis would you eat meat?!" Cadance yelled at me with disgust on her face.
"Because with all my years of dark magic corruption, my all my eating habits changed dramatically. I can digest meat relatively easily while vegetables tend to make me sick to my stomach." I said before taking a bite out of my hamburger which made them all turn green and push their meals away from them as they all gaged.
"T-That's just so wrong on so many levels." Rainbow Dash said as she put a hand over her mouth.
"Hey, My reaction wasn't as carefree as my current one right now is. I was relatively grossed out myself. But I got used to it." I said after I finished my first bite of my food. "And come on, I'm not the one'll one who can digest meat."
"W-What do you mean?" Twilight asked.
"You're little dragon friend." I said as they all gasped in fear. "Dragons eat meat, yes they eat gems, but that's when they're young. When they get older, they'll start craving meat for their diet for protein to grown. Or else they'll die." I said grimly.
"S-Spikey Wikey will eat m-meat?!" Rarity said in horror as she soon fainted.
"That is so..... cool!" Spike said as he jumped up in excitement.
"N-No that's not cool! That's not cool at all!" Twilight said. "There's not way I'm going to let him eat meat at all!"
"If you don't then he'll start craving it to the point, that well, you all will make a fine meal for him." I said as I took a sip of my wine.
With that statement, everything went into chaos. Fluttershy quickly ran out of the dining room with her hands over her mouth and her checks bloated. Rainbow Dash and Applejack looked at Spike with shock and fear who was hugging Twilight tightly while crying, while Twilight was glaring daggers at me with her horn charged up, which will hurt badly if she launched her spell at me. Pinkie's puffy mane went flat. Shingling Armor was puking to the side of him and Cadance was trying her best not to puke at all while her face looked like a wonderful mix of pink of green. And to me, it was fucking hilarious.
"H-How would you know what a dragon's diet consists of?!" Twilight yelled at me.
"Because I'm the only one who had known a elder dragon personally." I said. "He was a good friend of mine. He was a kind and caring dragon with how old he was. I believe he said that he was one of the first few children of the first dragon King and Queen rulers." I looked down at the table with one of the few emotions that I hated. Sadness. "He said that he was at least over five thousand years old. He was a brilliant dragon, but when his meat supply started to disappear he changed drastically. His knowledge started to disappear and started to be replaced with a hungering bloodlust and when he was taken completely over by a bloodlust fulled frenzy," I sighed. "let's just say that the badlands wasn't always a desolate landscape. It was once filled by beautiful and lush forest. After his frenzy he slowly started to die due to a lack of meat in his system. When you see one of your closest a friends die and you could do nothing to prevent it, it's not a fun experience." I finished and looked up to see Twilight looking at me with a face sympathy and sadness.
"I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't know." Twilight said.
"It's quite alright." I said. "Besides there's one thing about him that you need to know."
"Which is?"
"He had the same scale and spine color of your dragon friend. Spike here is of a royal decent." I said which made everypony, who was still in the room or was awake, their jaw drop.
"Y-You mean I-I'm a desedant of a king and queen?" Spiked asked his voice was ragged from crying.
"Correct. And the royal dragon bloodline is the only dragon bloodline that has access to magic." Which made everypony gasp in shock.
"I can use magic?! That is so cool!" Spike said he jumped up into the air in excitement and grinning widely.
"And as he gets older, I'll be the one to help him control his draconic magic." I said which made Twilight tilt her head at me in confusion.
"How would you know how it works?" She asked.
"Because my friend show me how his magic works personally and taught me a little draconic magic himself."
"Like what?"
I smirked at the question and slowly stood up and looked upward, I felt magic that I haven't felt in a long time rush through my body with a great force. I felt the magic warm my body up exponentially. A dragon's fire is a regular thing, but the royal dragon bloodline could infuse their fire with magic to do two important things: Fast travel and item teleportation. I grinned as I felt the heat rise up into my mouth. All except for Fluttershy and Rarity saw flames exiting my mouth as I let out a roar upwards and unleashed a great red and black flame from my mouth as my flames reached the chandelier that was attached to the ceiling, to started to disappear. After my roar was done, the chandelier was completely gone and they all looked at me with wide open mouths.
"I-I, h-how..." Twilight tried to speak.
"Draconic item telelportaion." I answered before I went back to eating my hamburger.
