"Why so willing to help me? You will be betraying everyone you know. Does that not bother you?" Sombra asked you. You looked at him in the eye's.

"No. My parents abandoned me. Everyone in Ponyville made fun of me." You said as the anger in you flowed through your veins. Sombra sat on the ground.

"Why?" He asked. You sat down.

"Because of my cutie mark. I used it on my parents so they left me alone. After that I stopped talking and everyone made fun of me." You said and looked at him.

"King Sombra. I will only help you on one condition." You said. He gestured for you to continue.

"I want to be the one to take down Ponyville." You said. Sombra smiled and stood.

"You have a deal little one." Sombra said and held his hoof out. You smiled, stood and shook his hoof.

"I am sorry though. You will still have to wait a month from then to grew." Sombra said. You looked at him.

"A king the apoligized? I'm shocked." You said and gave a small laugh.

"It's OK, as long as they do grew back." You finished. Sombra smiled.

"Well, maybe its been a while since I had a subject that was willing to help me." Sombra said. You smiled at him and then looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late, we should find shelter." You said. Sombra looked up and nodded.

"I agree. If I'm not mistaken, a cave should be around here, then its only three days to my empire." Sombra said. You nodded.

"Lead the way my king." You said. He nodded and you followed him up a small, yet steep, mountain and saw a cave. It wasn't that big, but a could hold about four ponies comfortably and with how steep the climb is, no pony would see them. Sombra used his magic to gather leafs and make a small bed for you both.

"Sleep, I will take the first watch." Sombra said. You nodded before yawning and laid on the leafs. Your eyes closed and you drifted off to sleep.
