Before Sombra was king, an infamous tyrant that ruled over the Crystal Empire until his downfall, he was a scholar. Under the rule of the King and Queen of the crystal empire he worked endlessly as a way to prove himself in the eyes of those who looked down upon him. He only needed to find the missing key to allow Earth ponies like himself to be able to wield magic on par or better than a unicorn could. But his quest for power brought about an unexpected meeting with a young mare. She is unlike anyone he had ever met before. Sombra wants to build a better world for her, one where society cannot dictate what they know is right.
Yet one must tread carefully along the road between power and love. For a single misstep can lead to an endless world of darkness.
