An Alternate Universe Fic Containing Blood, Gore, and Brutal Gladiatrix Combat.

King Sombra has taken Equestria and brought it down to its knees. The Elements of Harmony are nothing more than hallow stones. And the land is barren of any hope for salvation.

Celestia, Princess no more, has been sentenced to death by gladiatorial combat. A dim hope for her broken people. Will she rise above the shackles that have condemned her? Or will she die in the pit, no more than a footstool to Sombra's legacy?
