After Cold Stones home was destroyed, a certain tyrannical stallion takes him in and soon turns him into his most loyal servant. Life was rough for him but being by his kings side was all he needed to keep going. All was well until the night Celestia and her sister came to take back the empire. The resulting battle left Cold stone in short term limbo until he reappeared suddenly a 1000 years later just as his king was defeated again.

With Sombras horn attached to him and a plot to get Sombras power back. Cold stone goes through many trial and tribulations, a journey of self discovery, and what it means to be your own pony.

Also, why does a ominous phoenix/pony hybrid statue appear in some of his dreams?

Edit: (To clear up some things. First the sex tag is only for implications of sex and no actual clop. Second, TW for scenes of detailed gore, light torture, and swearing. And lastly, this story starts at the beginning of season 3 but diverges from the original plot after that. With all that out of the way, I hope you enjoy!) ps: tags may change bc I can't make up my mind :p
