I sit patently in the snow waiting for someone, anyone coming this way. I then shiver a little bit from the cold. Even as a ghost it's still bucking cold. Oh hello I did not know anyone was listening. whatever another crazy voice in my head won't bother anything. For those who do not know me I am the infamous tyrant known as king sombra. Also I'm dead thanks to that purple unicorn, her stupid baby dragon, and that damn new crystal princess. Hehe well at least the current crystal princess has some bravery. The original one I killed over a thousand years ago went out like a bitch. I can still remember her crying face as I choked the life out of her with my bare hoofs.

Anyway the reason why I am here and not in the tartarus is because I put a fail safe on my horn before the royal sisters locked me away along with the crystal empire. Basically the spell works if my body is destroyed and if my horn is still in tact my soul is tied to it until someone with the same level of magic can revive me. The only problem is that the only pony I know that would be willing to do that and might even pull off is princess twilight. *sigh* I am never going to get use to that saying. Anyway she would most likely bring me back to try give me a chance at redemption through 'the power off friendship' and all that bullshit. I would rather go to Tartarus then let her of all people to revive me. At least that way I can keep my pride and dignity. I will admit being a ghost has draw backs, since nobody can see or touch me in this form. I miss tormenting innocent souls. At least I can go so far as the crystal empire and read old newspaper so I am kept on on all current events.

I am still a little surprised that annoying purple unicorn 'twilight sparkle' reached the level of alicorn. Well she is the prised pupil to one of one of my greatest emeies and managed to get past all my traps and tricks to where I kept the crystal heart. She will be a worthy foe to fight once I am back to my old self.

I've been stuck as a ghost for a few years now. I haven't seen a single pony walk even close to where my horn is and you would think that celestia would not underestimate even in death. But then again nobody suspects that someone can come back form death. It's not like coming out of prison. Haha that reminds me that before my horn brought me back to this world. I did actually go to the Tartarus for few minutes I remember it vividly.

*years ago in the Tartarus*

Hades himself was looking a list of all my horrible deads from my past.

"Hmm it's not often we get ponies that actually accomplish as many evil deads as you. Well beside myself anyway if you follow the demon behind you he will send you to your person hell"

I had a evil grin on my face

"I don't think that will be necessary"

Hades looked at me with a deadpan face

"If you are going to make run for it or use your magic it's not going to work. You can't out run death."

After he said that the fail safe spell finally kicked in and black energy fell form the sky and took a hold of my body and started to drag me up

"Actually I can. A little tip to know about king sombra, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME ! Also go tell death for me to go buck herself"

The black energy pulled me up faster than light and I woke up in the winter wasteland next to my old horn.

*present day*

Oh the look on hades face before I came was the most precious thing I ever saw. I only wish I could have seen death's face when hades told her my message to her. Anyway I think I'm going to rest for while it's the only thing I can do to pass the time when I'm not reading newspapers. I may not be able to touch ponies but I can still lift small and light items. Anyway time for rest.

I then try to get comfortable in the snow then something completely unexpected happened. I heard the sound of pony stepping in snow. I turn around to see a pony completely covering in winter clothing covered from head to hoof there nothing showing to determine who this was but from the figure of the clothing it was a unicorn. I hopefully it is at least decent with magic.

They mysterious pony takes out a shovel and starts to dig threw the snow and after about a hour of digging she finds it. I'm surprised she even knew it was around this area I didn't exactly leave a map to find my horn. she then picked up my horn and put in a leather bag it was carrying and walked off to celestia knows where so I decided to follow the pony. What is weird is that I could have sworn that she could see me few times when ever I got close to it's face. But that would take some serious magic to pull something like that off.

After flying near by the pony (being a ghost has its perks) as it went on for miles into nowhere until the pony walked up to cave opening. The pony walked deep into the cave avoiding all these traps all around the cave until we came across a big cabin at the end of the cave. The cabin was 2 stories high and was entirely made of wood and was built into the cave and had functioning electricity with some rather odd decorations. Like there was the strange unrecognize able language written all over outside the cabin on the stone walls. As she walked closer she was actually holding the door open and letting me in before she closed. Inside the room was living room with a comfy looking leather couch, a small table infront of the couch, a warm fire place pointing in the same direction the couch was, right above the fire place attached to the wall was one of those new electronic things they made while I was gone, that they use to pass the time. I think they call it a TV. Behind the couch was a door that lead to the kitchen it had a table in the middle of the kitchen,it also has, a fridge, cabinets, a oven, a microwave I think it's called, and drawers. In the corner of the living room were stairs that lead upstairs to hall way that had a bathroom, her room, a closet, and a guest room. Anyway after she closed the door behind me as soon as I came in the house, That confirmed this pony can see me so it must be specially talented in magic. Finnally after years of waiting I am finally going to make my return.

After I get my body back I will kill this mystery pony I will see if the pony has any good wine. What ? Don't judge me. I haven't had anything to eat in over a thousand years. Anyway I follow the pony to a back room with a door that has over 20 locks on it. Overkill much ? After she got all the locks off we entered the room to show it being lit by single light bulb hangings from the ceiling, a small table with jars of strange glowing liquids and small bowl with some strange writing on it even I have never seen before. The next sight is what shocked me the most.

In the middle of the floor I saw a circle with tons of symbols I have never seen writen in pony blood. And right in the center of the circle was a pony skeleton but not any random skeleton, it was my skeleton. This pony was using blood Magic, That is the oldest and one of the darkest magic in existence that has long since been forgotten. Only few ponies like myself knew of existence, the royal sisters and star swirl the bearded were also aware of its existence, but none of us never knew enough to preform any form this magic, not like starswirl or the sister would test any of it.

Anyway this pony is somehow a master of the most lost forgoten magic in equestria and is about to bring me back to life. I don't know if I should be cautious or impressed. I'll go with both. The pony then finally took it's hood down from it big coat and it was revealed to be a mare. She had long straight dark red main and light grey coat similar to my own and had soothing but heavy accented voice he could not distinguish. But she did look rather fetching. Maybe keeping her alive a little longer is in order it has been a long time I've had the pleasure to make someone my bitch. (It's sounds Russian but since the show doesn't have any place with a accent like that yet I just thought I would tell you what it sounds like)

She then puts some of the liquids from the jars in the bowl and stired it while saying a unknown language. After she finished stirring and speaking she pulled out my horn from the bag and dipped it in the bowl completely covering it in the strange liquid. She then used her magic to put it in the center of the circle along with my skelaton. She then started speaking the strange language again and the next thing I knew my I was in the center of the standing and can't move.

Then I felt the most painful experience I have ever felt even more than when I blown up by the crystal heart. I felt my bones going back I together in their proper position and transforming a bit and as well as my organs, my mucsles, my flesh, my skin and then my fur. I even felt my clothes appear on my body. It was painful but it was worth it as I stood up. I then spoke in a old royal voice to show my gratitude. "Finally after over a thousand years of imprisonment and escaping death the lengendary tyrant king sombra rises again !" as I catch my breath and and stretch a bit I then noticed my voice sounded different even in my own head it didn't sound the same. It sounded.....feminine?

I looked back at the unicorn to see she has a small evil grin on her face

"what is with smile miss ?"

"it's violet blood"

"We'll miss blood mind explaining why my voice has changed"

She pulled out a hand mirror from her bag and put it into my face.

"See for yourself"

I then looked into the mirror and at first I thought it was a trick. I even checked the mirror for any illusions but it was clean. I have become a mare.

She replied "You look good for a mare"

I then screamed to the top of my lungs. My scream shook the entire cave and the cabin. After that I pinned violet blood to the wall in a blind rage.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS YOU CELESTIA DAMN BITCH !"

Her face was unchanged and giggling a bit.

"Blood magic is not exactly a easy thing to predict in side effects, must have been the mare blood I used in the circle. A well at least I brought back and I can do this"

Before I could react that bitch slipped a strange grey metal collar with the strange language writen on it around my neck. It glowed for a few seconds and I then fell a small prick on the back of my neck and then its glowed brighter and then I could not move anything from the neck down. It's like my body became a statue. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS !"

She moved away from me away from me and pulled out a sliver horn ring and put in on her horn all the way down. She actived it and then I could move again. She then spoke in a stern voice similar to a drill Sargent.

"Alright enough bullshit sombra I'm going to get straight to the point. You are my prisoner you are going to stay here until I see fit. you will only refer to me as master or mistress and you will do anything I ask. If you refuse you will stay down here longer and will be given other punishments if sitting room is not enough. DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR YOU BITCH !"

"What do you take me for I am the lengendary king sombra and I will not be reduced to a slave by you! I BUCKING INVENTED SLAVERY ! And who are you calling bitch !" (Well technically he is the only character to use slavery in the show so unless someone can prove me other wise he didn't invent slavery in the mlp universe be my guest but until then I'm going with that)

"Looked like we have some insubordination I guess its time for some punishment"

she actives the ring on her horn and I couldn't move again and then she pressed a secret button on the wall and then a part of the wall flips around to show tons of torture equipment hanged on it

She giggled "I'm going to make you my bitch !"

Right now while she laughed Evily this was the first time in a very long time I ever felt fear.
