Regalia Sapphire

Regalia was born in the crystal empire back when the princesses were brand new and the empire was governed by Sombra. She didn’t know her parents, she was abandoned on the street, begging for scraps, until a shadow was cast on her and her fate. She looked up to see King Sombra standing over her. The next thing she knew, was that she was being levitated on his back and carried off to the castle

After what felt like an eternity of riding on his back, They got to the castle and he dropped her on her rug. Her mouth hung in awe at the paintings around her. As she was looking around, a cough echoed throughout the room and she turned to see Sombra watching her while waiting by an open door. She apologized and hurried off after him. As he guided her through the hallway, she listened to the information given to her.

He abruptly stopped by a closed door and said, “Here we are, little one, I hope you are hungry.” He pushed open the door and there was a table filled with food like it was Hearth’s Warming. Her face lit up for the first time in years. She was about to run into the dining room, but she stopped and asked if she could. Sombra smiled and said, “Of course, this is your home.” She started to tear up with joy as she ran to the table and start grabbing food.

After the 5 slice of pie, Sombra spoke up from his drink and going over papers, “Little one, why aren’t you using your horn?

She mumbled as she looked down, “I...don’t know how.” She shrank when she used the book slammed on the table, She looked up to see Sombra worried, but he didn’t say anything, just pour him some wine, and Regalia a glass of juice.

She let out a yawn of content and felt her levitated again when she heard Sombra say, “You look tired, let’s head off to bed, but first let’s give you a name, how about Regalia?” She nodded and curled up into his fur on his neck. 

Once they reached her room, Sombra tucked her in and she said while snuggling down into the bed, “Night father.” She was out like a light before she heard his response.

After a few years of Sombra training her magic, Regalia 's grey eyes started growing a greenish tint to them. Ever since she started living with Sombra, she’s gotten more meat on her bones and is genuinely happier. Every morning, she would have breakfast, train with magic, have lunch, learn about ruling a kingdom and cultures, then have dinner.

On a day like any other, the 3rd anniversary of her living with Sombra and 1 and a half of getting her cutie mark, an explosion ripped through the castle. Sombra cut the training short and hid her in a closet. She spent hours in there without any noise to get her company. She curled up next to a couple of boxes and fell into a dreamless slumber. 

She woke up to shouting and banging at the door. She wobbled to her feet as if she hasn’t moved in years. The burst open with strange-looking guards in gold armor. She did the only thing that she could think of, teleported behind the guards and run, looking for her father.

After running around, calling for Sombra, she ended up in the throne room with some mare on the throne. The mare had three different colors of mane. Regalia collapsed on the tiles and gasped for air. She listened to the hooves getting closer and a gentle voice say, “How did you get here?”

Regalia looked up and said, “I live here with my father, King Sombra.” The mare’s face went from concern to confusion and back to concern.

The mare levitated Regalia and placed her on the mare’s lap in the throne and said, “I hate to tell you this, but Sombra was defeated over a thousand years ago. My name is Cadence, what’s yours, little one.”

Regalia said as she looked at herself, “Regalia, ma’am.” As she came to terms with sleeping in a closet for a thousand years, Cadence walked her through what happened and gave her a nanny until she was able to be by herself. 

After a couple years of living in the palace under Cadence’s rule, Regalia opened the box that Sombra gave her, and inside was a gold necklace with a black obsidian crystal in the center. She placed it on and it seemed to have a light in the middle of it. She took one last look at her room and closed the door with her suitcase in tow.

As she walked to the station, she watched as everyone was getting on with their life, like they weren’t pulled out of time. She shook her head and got onto the train while fetching a black magic book out of her bag. Even though it’s looked down upon to study dark magic, she was going to use it for the good of Equestria. She slammed the book shut and looked out at her next stop, Canterlot.

She arrived there and looked around, most of the ones there look and acted like they were rich and snotty. Even though she technically a princess, she disliked the rich for her past, even though it’s been a thousand years since. She walked from one place to another, but didn’t find anyplace that wasn’t too fancy to live. Then she came across a small place in the center of Canterlot. She used what money she had from trading old coins to cadence for bits and bought the place, then she went on a shopping spree.

 After buying what she needed, she went off, using a spell to disguise her cutie mark and looked for a job. She came across and a hiring for a desk job and took it. She knew that her destiny was to follow her father in the ways of magic, but it will be difficult to do that at this time. She looked at her necklace and it’s strange light coming from it and smiled before getting to work.
