New Legends and Old Myths

Sombra woke up from his dreams of domination and found that he had fallen asleep at his desk, this was something he was use to by now. He was trying to decide whether or not to order some breakfast, his mind settled on a curry, given the fact that the entire station alignment had turned to the winter cycle.

It was just then that he heard a knock on his office door and Sombra was under the impression that it was merely his aide.

"Enter." Hearing this, the door opened to reveal a fine figure, one who always seemed to be able to bring out Sombra's good side.

"Good morning sir, I anticipated that you might be wanting something warm so I simply went and bought you some of Zecora's best curry." the aide said joyfully.

"Once again you impress me, how are you always aware of what I need at any given moment?" Sombra inquired.

"Because, I was born with a special kind of magic that can only be used if it is another's best interest, simply put, I have the rare ability to read minds and find what is most desired by the person whose mind is read." The aide said.

"Well then, perhaps you wouldn't mind helping me in a certain matter?" Sombra asked with a smile.

"If you're referring to tracking down the elements, then the task was done last night, they are hiding in the ruins of Canterlot Castle, they have everything they need to release those who can and would oppose you." Sombra was even more impressed at this, not only had she done the work that Chrysalis had failed to do, but she had also managed to spy on his enemies.

"I think you may be more useful than that."

"I'm already ahead of you, you wish for me to infiltrate them and try to pit them against each other, forgive me but shouldn't that be a last resort, as in should Discord fail." This was true but Sombra was desperate by now, he wanted to try to stop them and buy some time.

"That is where you are wrong, because Discord is still trying to gather up some power for his attack, and you are going to buy time for that." The aide nodded and listened to the plan.

both of the Unicorns in the room knew that this was a desperate move, but a necessary one.
