Hello. If you're wondering why you hear a 12-year-old filly talking to you like she's an adult, well, that's because I'm one of the oldest beings alive. Believe it or not, I'm over 1,000 years old. My mother was Twilight Sparkle and my father was King Sombra. I say was because they aren't my parents anymore. I'm not even a pony anymore. I guess I should probably tell you my story. I was born a little over a thousand years ago. I was a princess. So was my mom. I should probably explain that too. My dad, Sombra, met my mother when for some reason I can't remember, was lost in the tundra, where Sombra resided. He was thought to be dead after his return, but somehow, he survived.

Anywho, he met my mom when he saw her wandering through the tundra. When he walked up to her, she tried to attack him, but she didn't have enough strength. He asked her to come with him, she refused. He knew she would die out there so her used a spell to knock her unconscious and brought her to his castle. She woke up there and tried to attack him again, but she couldn't. He let her stay there for a while and eventually they fell in love. When she got home, she told Celestia about him. She was granted permission to visit him and when she told her the time was right, Equestria would know and Sombra could see her more often and meet other ponies. Soon, they got married and I was born.

My life started out pretty well. My best friend was Screwball. Oh right, you don't know her. She was the daughter of Discord and Fluttershy. She understood me. Like I said, everything was fine until I turned eleven. That's when bad things began happening to my family. A few ponies were angered over allowing Sombra to live in Ponyville. More were angered that my mother was still allowed power seeing as she mad the decision to marry my father. This wasn't too bad at first. Later though, This got worse, with even an attempted assassination on my parents. You'd think this would be the worst of it. Not even close. Ponies started rising up against my mother even more. Then something really, really bad happened. Celestia went mad. Not crazy and insane, but evil. Not evil to most. Somehow, she believed what ponies were saying about us. My parents were captured. My dad was immediately killed. My mom, well, I don't know what happened to her. She's not alive anymore anyway. She wasn't immortal. This all happened the night before my twelfth birthday. It all happened at night. At midnight, I was sealed in the arctic ice like my dad before me. Only I was cursed to be in there for all eternity. That's where I am now. Now my parent's wedding anniversary is a day where banners of my mom are burned. Nopony really knew a lot about me and now, some ponies don't even know I exist. The only two ones who still care about my family are Screwy and her dad. They're immortal. They're the only ones I can remember.

I do remember a few other things. When I was first in the ice, I was just like another filly. I cried and kicked at the ice, begging to be let out. Over the years, I ran out of tears. I stopped feeling anything. I don't even age. I'll remain 12 forever. I can still see outside of my prison, I know what's going on in the world. If you're wondering what I meant when I said I wasn't a pony anymore, I meant that I'm becoming like a shadow. Nopony sees me or hears me. I have seen a great deal in my life. I've seen what true evil is. I've seen the downfall of great kingdoms. I've seen true love. I still can talk to two beings. More on that later. I don't believe anymore. There's no hope for me. I'll remain locked in ice forever. My name is Pandora Shadow Sparkle and I, am a shadow.
