The Search

I looked at her quizzically. "Sombra?" I asked. "I'm sorry Twilight but I don't know who Sombra is...he sounds scary though!" I say, trying to picture what this pony looks like.

She has a dark look on her face. "Sombra...Sombra is the one who took over and enslaved all the ponies that live here, not even love can cure his dark heart." She says in a low somber tone.

I look over at her with a sad expression. "Twilight, I-I can't imagine what they must have went through...W-we should get going, they NEED us Twilight." I said not knowing what to do or say.

`She just sits there staring at the glossy, reflective ground. "Twilight? C'mon babe we need to go!" I said trying to get her attention.

"Huh? Oh...yeah, sorry! I got kinda lost in my thoughts." She said whilst blushing a little. "A-anyway, we should start looking for something that would lead us, or at least tell us where Sombra is or was!" She said in a slightly commanding, firm voice.

I saluted, playing along. "Yes, ma'am!" I say trying to lighten things up a little. "Okay, so where should we look first?" I asked the purple princess.

She looks around for a while, trying to get an idea of where Sombra could have went. After looking around for a while we decide to stop and eat, yet as luck follows all the restaurants and shops are closed due to the 'predicament' at hand. so in stead we decide to fly back to Ponyville for today, and continue the search tomorrow.


As we landed near the castle, we decided to invite Princess Celestia and Luna. Twilight sent the letter and said "I'll go prepare the food, please set the table, dear...Oh and make it quick, they'll be here in an hour!" with a firm, yet loving voice.

I nod and go to do my job, but as I walk into the dining hall all I can do is be in awe. The room is like the castle; crystal, but the decor and the scale of it (approx. the size of the dining hall in Harry Potter). I shake it off, and tend to my duty.

~~~~~

"Okay Twilight, I'm done!" I called as I walk out of the humongous dining hall.

"Okay, can you help me with the daisy salads?" she says cheerfully, probably fake; knowing that her sister-in-law and her brother are pony-napped.

"No problem, babe!" I say as I kiss her on the cheek. "Man, what a day...I hope we find them, and soon! I REALLY want to meet their daughter....what was her name?" I asked trying to remember the name of the newer princess.

"Princess Flurry Heart , but I'm pretty sure she'll let you call her Flurry Heart." She said semi-cheerfully.

"Okay...oh, if he took them couldn't you just track them using magic or something?" I asked quizzically.

"Well I guess I could but, it's going to be difficult to do so...but I'll try." she said with dullness in her eyes. She closed her eyes and lit up her horn and concentrated as bard as she possibly could. "I feel something!" she says happily. "I-I can sense them, but faintly." she said, trying to figure out how to make the spell even more powerful. "C'mon, we need to meet princesses half way!" she said as she ran off with new determination and spirit.

"W-wait what? Why?!" I said in exhaustion from trying to catch up with her. I stopped, only to find that she teleported me to where we were meeting them.

"You silly boy! We need to meet them here, so we can tell them that we found out how to track them, and Sombra!" She said delighted, never before have I seen her so determined. (besides when Tirek was trying to rule...)

"Okay if you insist..." I say a little questionable about her enthusiasm. I sat down and put my arm around her body, as she put her wing around me. "Twilight, if anything happens, I just want to say that I love you so much, I'm so, SO glad that we met each other, it helps me...cope with my last relationship..." I said in a sad, dark tone.

"Oh? What happened?" She asked curiously. I'm pretty sure, given the situation, she doesn't want to hear the story...not now at least....

"I'll tell you after this whole mess is behind us, okay?" I said smiling, pecking her on the cheek.

"Okay!" She said smiling, as the princesses came and landed in front of us. "Oh! Hi Princess Celestia, Luna!" She said as she gave them both hugs. "I'm glad you responded as quickly as you could!" She said smiling.

"Of course, my little pony, especially if you have a way to find them!" She said gladly, but that smile soon turned as she looked at the ground furrowing her brows. "We need to eliminate Sombra, for good this time...I know it's going to be a hard task Twilight, but we NEED to do this." Celestia said with a hint of hatred, and also fear.

"Surely we can do this a more peaceful--" Celestia cut me off.

"I am truly sorry, my dear Ian...but that's not possible! He had his thousand chances, more than enough to reform himself, or have help getting reformed...but no, he decided to try to over rule the Crystal Empire, AND take Flurry Heart." Said angry.
