Hey everyone, Pegasus God here. This is my first story on fanfiction soooo... without further adue I give you, "The shadow of a crystal."

He was a monster, that's all he knew. Yet, he was going to the school of friendship, all because the Crystal Empire didn't want him around.

A dark grey filly with a black mane, a unicorn to be exact, was strolling through the halls of Princess Twilight's school of friendship, on his way to his next lesson.

It had been two weeks after Cozy Glow's defeat, and everypony was warier of everything. Princess Twilight had decided to put Starlight in charge, should she ever leave. The so called CMC were following everyone around and annoying them to the death.

His horn, unusually shaped like a mini version of Sombra's lit up in a red aura so he could open the door.

"Shadow Horn, you're late." Rarity stated sternly to him. All the classmates glared at him, and he trotted to his desk as if nothing had been said.

"Please, Miss Rarity, do not fret, for I am in the classroom now, am I not?" Shadow Horn replied.

"Oh, I suppose so. Now where was I? Ah, yes. The thing about generosity is..." The unicorn zoned out of the teacher's boring lesson as his mind wandered else where.

Where was his father now? Is he even still alive? If he is, would he hate him for associating with the very ponies who defeated him?

He was snapped out of his thoughts with a hard feeling on the back of his head. It was revealed to be a note. It read:

If we hurt you will Sombra come for us? If not read on, but I guess you shouldn't because your not real so you don't have emotions. Enjoy the lesson, Sombra dork!

He turned his head to see ponies and crestures laughing at him. Griiting his teeth, Shadow lit up his horn.

"I can't believe you would even do something like that!" Twilight exclaimed.

Shadow had gave those irritable ponies 3rd degree burns and sent 4 of them to hospital.

"They were moking me of my heritage." Shadow's raspy voice replied. Twilight sighed and used her hooves to rub her temples.

They were in her office, and not for a good reason.

"Shadow Horn, I get it, you don't like ponies making fun of you just because you're Sombra's son, but you can't keep hurting other ponies like that. And because of this there's only one thing I can do, girls, you can come in now." The door opened and three fillies his age walked in.

"Shadow Horn, this is Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. They agreed to help you with your friendship problems and discover what your cutie mark means."

His eyes travelled to said mark. It was a blue crystal with black mist surrounding it.
