My Little Arrival
Ch.11: A Fallen King
Hoof steps trotted on a sidewalk. A saddened face looked at all the places around him. He sighed. Was any of this worth the price? He really did not think so.
Sombra, like all, had his code. It was a code that changed after the Mane Six had destroyed him in Canterlot Castle. His desire still burned. He felt he was fit to change Equestria. Total rule meant no backstabbing, no lack of progress. Of course, he knew the fears. Simply put, a creature like Tirek made the desire look awful.
Sombra had never thought much of Chrysless or Tirek. As he stopped at the end of a sidewalk for a moment, those feelings came clear. "They're arrogant, pompas, snobs, who would rather burn it down" he concluded. Of course, he had fought the Mane Six. Not all fights were void of violence. The void however gave him a moment to pause. He had begun to question if this was worth it. The Mane Six had won, and he respected them. Missed them even.
In all the seconds he had counted, one thought had never once crossed his mind. Killing. Sombra believed in something, but a veil of mystery was held over whatever had created Equestria, or the universe entirely. Thinking himself an agnostic, he did not think it was his right or privilege to kill, as divine providence would determine the fate of all.
Tirek and Chrysless felt different. It was a means to an end. In that difference came Sombras disdain for Tirek and Chrysless. There was one reason he had even joined them as they left Equestria- Cozy Glow.
Sombra frowned, his heart aching for the young unicorn. She had seen so much pain for a creature so young, and he knew the great truth, the evil truth. Tirek would find her of no use someday.
Sombra grinned. Tirek and Chrysless were strong, but he was stronger. If they ever tried to hurt Cozy, he would fight back for the one that could not.
A fallen king he was. But he still held power. When the time was right to dance with luck and the evil angels...
He would be the King once more.
