Author's Note

A little bit of drama in this one.

Black Abyss

A jolt of energy rushed through Little Shadows small body, he blinked and rubbed his face from the sudden power.

He stared down at the now lifeless crystal and took a look behind him seeing a group of guards were holding swords at the foals face -- they were all startled by the sudden event.

Little Shadow flattened his ears and slowly picked up the crystals, but before he could even do anything a tall male guard tried to slap the crystals away from his grasp but ended up getting thrown across the hallway and slamming against the wall.

The foal backed away slowly and grabbed the two crystals, scurrying off away from the crowd.

"After him!" A male guard shouted while the few other guards ordered a doctor for immediate attention.

Little Shadow galloped as fast as he could and hid behind a throne that seemed to be Luna's, he panted quietly and watched the guards look around like a predator after prey.

He seemed to hold his breath as they gave each other glances and made a signal for them to split up.

A white pegasus guard walked towards the thrones of Celestia and Luna, thoughtfully examining the two royal chairs, the foal shook and forced his eyes shut trying to be quiet as he could.

Something snapped in his heart.

The colt used his magic suddenly and threw the guard up against a glass window, shattering it with ease from his frame.

Little Shadow realized what he did and whimpered quietly, the guard now being unconscious he decided to run off now while he still had the time, why was he feeling like this? He had no clue. He took a look behind him seeing the guard was bleeding from the head and a few glass shards impaled his wings, he looked away and ran off again.

"Your highness!" A guard rushed through Celestia's room without warning, "Sombra has attacked many guards on patrol. We don't know where he's at."

The white alicorn seemed to go more pale than she currently was, "Send troops to look around the castle, I'll look for Little Shadow as well." She stated.

The guard frowned, "But, your majesty-"

"Do not argue with me. Do as I said." She stood up and ran out the room to look for the little colt.

Luna was soon informed about this incident and quickly dropped what she was doing and looked for the colt along with her sister.

"Sister. I do not believe we can actually change him now." Luna looked up at her sister while still trotting, Celestia was examining every part of every room in the castle.

Celestia sighed and flattened her ears, "I failed at being a mother-figure, Luna..." She lowered her head, soon picking her head up after Luna placed a comforting wing over her older sister.

"Do not fret, sister." She addressed, continuing to speak, "Little Shadow was driven towards the wrong path by his real mother. We all know what she is, as well as what he is..." She sighed quietly.

Suddenly Luna perked her ears after hearing something clank and shatter on the ground, the moon alicorn slowly walked over to the cause of the sound and saw a crying Sombra.

He looked up and hissed at Luna, baring his fangs at her. The poor colt was corrupted, just how Luna lost him many moons ago.

The princess flattened her ears and reached a hoof out to gently pet the colts mane but he refused and moved away from her.

"D-Don't touch me..." He muttered under his breath and wiped his tears away.

Luna frowned at this and lowered herself down to him while Celestia simply watched, "Little one. Why did you do all of this?" The foal tried moving away completely and run off again somewhere in the castle but he was blocked by Luna's wing.

He looked up at Luna and pinned his ears back, suddenly his voice turned dark and he began talking backwards 'Uoy era lla stoidi!'

Luna growled, figuring out what he said, "The only idiot here is you! Leave this colts body and mind at once you foul demon!"

Little Shadow only smirked a toothy grin and suddenly the colt fell to his knees, he sobbed and rubbed his eyes, the smoke returning to his eyes once more.

Luna ran her wing over the colts back and tried to comfort him, he instead flinched and stared at her with one complete green eye with no iris whatsoever, the other one was normal except for the vicious and intimidating smoke that escaped the edges of both eyes.

Little Shadow felt pain wash over his body as he yelped in agony, moving away from the princess. He found himself cowered against the corner of a wall.

Celestia finally got the courage to walk next to Luna and comfort the little colt.

"Little one, you do not need to fear anything..." She reached out to run her hoof through his small mane but he snarled aggressively and slapped her hoof away from him with strength that it stabbed her hoof with immense pain.

The colt stared at her with fear in his eyes and a sense that there was someone else controlling him.

Celestia rubbed her hoof and bit her bottom lip at the pain, it was horrible excruciating pain. Almost as if dozens of knives were cutting away at her bare skin, cutting deep into her hoof and allowing leeches to suck up her flesh.

The colt stared absently at the two princesses, he was scared and Luna could sense that.

Little Shadow quickly moved away from the two princesses and ran off once more, trying to hide himself away in the castle.

The two princesses ordered a group of guards to go look for the colt.

Celestia ordered the elements of harmony to come along once more, explaining the depths of the issues and needed every single pony to split up to find him for he could harm someone else or harm himself.

Little Shadow found himself walking an empty hallway, his small armor making metallic sounds, his sclera's were both green.

"Come out, come out, where ever you are you little beast." A guard spat while leading a group of guards in throughout the hallways, he stopped hearing metal boots tap on the floor.

The guard waved his hooves signaling his group to stop and walked towards the sound.

They all stopped once they saw a little colt walking alone, having his back facing them. The guard smirked and nodded his head, giving another signal but it was a different one -- to attack.

Little Shadow aimlessly looked around, a worried expression now shown on his features.

The little unicorn flattened his ears and whimpered hearing odd sounds in his head, he heard a faint 'turn around' and he did so; quickly coming muzzle to muzzle with a guard.

The guard used a knock-out spell that put the foal to sleep instantly.

Pain washed upon his body once more. His head throbbing more and more.

The colt groaned and lazily opened his eyes, coming in contact with pink, white, blue and purple alicorns all standing next to each other and a white stallion that stood close to his wife it seemed.

Little Shadow flinched once he realized who they were and flattened his ears, "I'm s-sorry.."

Celestia shook her head and looked away, the grown stallion who had once apologized to the colt had a deep frown on his face.

"I didn't m-mean to I promise.." He stuttered and tried sitting up but felt a shock in his head.

He groaned and rubbed his forehead feeling there was something attached to his horn. The colt gasped and tried getting it off but instead got another wave of shock through his head.

Luna sighed and flattened her ears, "It's for your own good, little one. We attached a magic ring around your horn so you won't be able to hurt those around you or yourself..."

Cadence spoke up and nodded "We had also disposed of those crystals if you were wondering."

The colt blinked and stared blankly.

"You..." He started "You took my mom and friend away..."

Twilight nodded and glanced over at Shining who rolled his eyes at the colt.

Little Shadow bared his fangs at them for a moment and hopped down from the bed, wobbling a bit.

Shining Amor tensed up and moved closer to his wife who continued to stare at the now-untrustworthy colt. Shining knew all about this colt and warned other ponies about him but they never listened now did they?

Celestia sighed and looked at Little Shadow "The guard you hurt is now dead." She rubbed her forehead and cursed herself mentally for telling him out loud.

Little Shadow seemed not to care and shrugged his shoulders "I don't care, really." He smirked and looked at the 5 ponies, "It wasn't my life so why should I even have the deepest concern for such thing?"

He seemed... Different.

Luna noticed this quite often now, after he ran away to his umbrum mother, everything took a turn for the worst.

Shining armor growled and stomped his hoof, receiving no action from the colt besides a mere scrunch of his muzzle, "How could you even say such a thing you pathetic child!" He snarled.

Little Shadow once more shrugged and walked past them and out the room, but suddenly received a excruciating shock through his brain. He whined and fell to the floor, now he couldn't even walk out the room without being shocked way worse than its normal buzz and pinch... This felt like multiple punches in the stomach.

Celestia blinked and walked to the colt, standing in front of him and lowering her head to his, "You must now be escorted to your location to now leave this room, Shadow..." Her voice was stern and strict.

The colt shook in pain as his vision began to spin, he gagged at the sudden feeling to vomit.

Luna sighed and looked away, she couldn't bare seeing the colt suffer in a way such as this -- even though he deserves it...

Little Shadow began to gasp for air after feeling another wave of shock through his body, it was way worse. How was he even surviving through this? Why wasn't he blacking out already?

Shining had a stupid smirk on his face when he saw the colt Sombra was suffering. He couldn't go to prison for the act of violence because of his "age".

The dark grey foal looked up weakly at Celestia, his muscles twitching from the pain. She merely stared back down at him.

Little Shadow forced himself to get up and weakly jump away from her, before he could even take another step... He knocked out into an abyss of black.
