I was prowling the Nightlands my home for the last thousand years. I had been banished there by king Sombra who was my only friend.

Of course I was not angry at him. He was my only friend and had tried to save me but the darkness that inhabits me was too strong.

But my dark power is a curse. A curse that is unbreakable. The curse and I have become one. I am now the Alicorn of death.

In the past

My dark powers were killing ponies. I was afraid the ones I cared about were next. I looked at the book.

The very thing that made me into a living spirit of despair and heartbreak. I was searching for a banishment spell. I found it but to a loss. The spell only worked for as long as the one who casted it lived. I couldn't ask the princesses for they would never accept my request.

It was hopeless. I threw the book on the ground when it opened up to an immortality spell. I told my friend Sombra about my plan. He was devastated he said that he could keep working to find a way to fix me. A way to undo the suffering I caused. I told him that his research was useless if no pony was going to be alive to use it.

He finally obliged. He said as soon as there was a way to save me he would bring me back to undo the darkness inside me.

I was fearful of this. Somba's mission to cure me was leading him deeper into darker magic. I made him promise to burn the book after he cast the spells.

The full moon was here and the immorality spell had already been cast on Sombra. We both said our good byes and he did it. He banished me to the Nightlands.

When I awoke in the Nightlands I was sad. Sad that I would never get to see Sombra again. I just hoped he kept his promise.

He didn't.

Somba's P.O.V

As I wondered back to the castle I looked at the book I had promised to burn. He was crazy to think that I would burn my only chance at saving him.

I could feel the darkness from the immortality spell flowing in me. First things first. I needed to make sure that no pony would stop me going in to the darkest magic in Equestria. So i hid the book in my room.

It was dark when I started to sneak to my father's room. My father was a useless king and a abusive one at that. I met my friend when I was a colt. Running away from my father's abusive hoof. I met him hiding and crying at the lake.

He was a unicorn just like me. We quickly became friends over our fathers being abusive stallions. We bonded so much over the years and then the accident happened.

I shuddered as I thought about what happened. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen to kill my father. No my former father. It was an evil thought. An evil but surprisingly reliving and powerful thought.

Five hours later.

"All hale King Sombra". Replied my crystal slaves. I was enslaving three crystal ponies every two minutes. I left the podium on which all the pure gleaming crystal had been turned to black corrupted crystal with my power.

I had devoted my life to curing my friend and ruling my dark empire of misery and heartbreak. Funny how I was trying to cure my friend of them and inflicting it on my slaves. Then they had to show up.

The creatures that looked like my corrupted friend but they had light where he had dark. The very creatures that brought the sun and the moon. The day and night. Princesses Celestia and Luna.

The Alicorn of death's P.O.V

I suddenly felt the banishment bonds that kept me in this wretched place weaken but they were still there.

Something must have happened to Sombra. I thought. He isn't dead but trapped in... Shadows?!?

I was surprised. Sombra was a good unicorn . I wanted to go and save him but I realised I would do more harm than good as I would only kill innocent ponies.

My magic was similar to Sombra's so I used the curse as a connection with the outside world and then I saw everything Sombra had done.

He made himself ruler of the crystal empire. He killed his father ( which I wasn't sorry about. The old geezer had it coming.)

He had turned our home into a land of eternal darkness and corruption. He broke his promise. He forced innocent lives into slavery and fear. He had become a tyrant.

The last one made me cry. He had been turned into shadow and banished from his home forced to live in a dark and cold place which he nor deserved nor wanted.

No that wasn't my best friend. That was a unicorn that became a slave to the darkness. No to my darkness. This was all my fault.

I cried myself to sleep.

Three months ago from present day.

There was a power wave of change. I jumped up from the stone I was napping on. I used my magic to see what was going on on the outside world. I saw the shadow form of Sombra chasing some ponies.

"He's back"?!? I said smiling. Maybe just maybe those ponies can save him. I thought to myself.

I was wrong.

I looked on in horror as the pink alicorn used the crystal heart to kill Sombra. The one thing that I wished to never happen. The one thing. It was done by a pink alicorn. It was done by my own kind.

Every night I would wish on a star and pray that Sombra would go back to his old self and that he wouldn't fall victim to my power.

I looked at the things that killed my friend.

A pink alicorn with a yellow,purple and pink mane. She had the crystal heart with two fancy looking gold bars as her cutie Mark.

A purple and green baby dragon.

A unicorn stallion with a white coat and light and dark blue for his mane. His cutie Mark was a blue shield with a pink star and three blue stars on top.

A orange earth pony mare with a blond mane and threered apples as her cutie Mark.

A pink earth pony with a cotton candy mane. She had three balloons as her cutie Mark.

A light blue pegasi mare with a rainbow coloured mane. Her cutie Mark was a rainbow lightning bolt shooting out of a cloud.

A yellow Pegasus mare with a pink mane and three pink butterflies in which was her cutie Mark.

A white unicorn mare with a curly purple mane and three blue diamonds as her cutie Mark.

And finally a purple alicorn with a dark blue mane with a pink and purple stripes. With a pink star with small white stars around it for her cutie Mark.

I'll make Celestia and Luna pay too. I bet they sent them to kill Sombra. Even with my power there's no way to bring Sombra back. I'll will do anything in my power to bring him back to my friend or make the ones who killed him pay. I thought darkly.

Look out Equestria. You have forgotten me but I haven't forgotten you. The dead will never be forgotten again!!!

Author's Note

I had a great time writing this chapter

I think having a evil alicorn Is an interesting concept to write about.
