Well how pleasant it is to know someone that has pain in their hearts. For one not to get rid of.


 


I am what Equestria calls me the last mare to be dealt with.


 


I see your pain with Sombra and I know what pride is.


 


Good or bad they say and lust can be too.


 


*puts wings back while whispers come from no where*


 


Don't be frightened by my presence. For fear is what you seek in enemies as do I. As it is an


 


option. 


 


One thing is for certain, you will be in that throne. How long will that be?  How long will


 


your reign last for your date with the Mane Six will test your powers? Like they did mine


 


and failed miserably.

"I respect your optimism, I could use more allies such as yourself.  

 

"Many in my entourage have their doubts that I will accomplish my goals, but I am the only one who knows just how many contingencies I have.  It is only a matter of time before chaos sows disharmony among the court, and that is when I will strike, when the Royal Guard is worn out and spread thin.  It's a shame that the Empire is so stable in these times, though.  I may just have to engineer a social issue, though that will take time, time that I unfortunately no longer have.

 

"Well, no longer have time, but she does, and I have plenty of time to find and cure her..."

@Hazard Time- In due time they will wear off and so will the Mane Six as well. My fear knows no bounds and


 


neither does my powers. As no one mentions my name there. I am their fear and the master of darkness itself.


 


*calls off the coldness and darkness by raise of hoof* *the whispers stop*


 


As you see I am alone in my lair at times. My parents were killed by them and they won't admit their wrongs.


 


Just like Sombra won't admit his and he is with me. His presence is being tortured in my hands and making him pay


 


for all the wrongs he did. Even too you, who was just being kind and respectful.


 


I see no reason to hurt one that shows warmth towards another person. As for Equestria I have none. Still I will


 


spare the Crystal Empire as it will be your kingdom to rule. For the rest is history.


 


So tell me, *sits slowly* how will you destroy the Mane Six if they decided to challenge you? Of course you are


 


mare and I do admire your ways of striking intimidation upon your foes.

Lance, a slightly built stallion, proceeds to enter the room quietly, ignoring most of the other visitors, sit down and pull out a notepad and pencil. He eyes the crystal noble, and finally speaks,

 

"Uh, who are you? I mean, you look pretty famous or wealthy, royal, etc. But why have I not heard of you? Have I just, like, not been tuned into current events enough?"

"I feel I should be offended that somepony doesn't recognize my beautiful face from such reputable magazines as Ponies or Cosmarepolitan, but it's quite alright.  I don't expect uncultured commoners such as yourself to be familiar with ponies so far out of your league."  The crystal mare tosses a lock over her mane over her shoulder.

 

"My name is Carnelian Clout, Viscountess Marecenae, Baroness of Biticca and Istrot.  Are you supposed to be a journalist?  If so, then please, hurry up and ask your questions.  There is a queue of very important ponies forming behind you."

"I still find it adorable that you think you're frightening.  Anyhow, what you ask of me is privileged information, but for you, I will grant a VIP pass.  

 

"I have no intention of doing anything to them.  Should they so wish to challenge my claim to the Empire, I will politely turn them away and ask that they return to their home.  What happens to them next depends on whether or not they choose to involve themselves in a situation where they have no place being.  They will only have themselves to blame for the suffering that their actions will bring upon mine and their ponies.

 

"Imagine going forth to become a hero only to fall into a mire of villainy.  The more you struggle to breath, to try and wash the blood off your hooves, the worse your situation becomes until the ponies you sought to liberate want you dead just as much as your enemies do.  If they want me dead or gone, the only way to accomplish this would be to compromise their morals, but the harder they try not to do that, the harder it becomes.  Is that not terrifying, my shadowy friend?  Is that not a true villainess would do?"

He hadn't heard stories. He quickly wrote down on his notepad:

"What right do you have to address me by my name?  How dare you insult me with this indignity, you knave!  You will address me as 'Your Ladyship' or 'Lady Marecenae', or so help me I will have you escorted off my estate!  I expect an apology as well as your undying gratitude that I am giving you a second chance."  Carnelian takes a deep breath and runs a hoof through her mane, patting the sides to ensure that not a single lock was frayed.

 

"Now, where was I?  Yes, my free time.  I live by a schedule that is kept by my ward, and my free time is always from nine o'clock at night, after supper, until my bed time at midnight.  This is my most common schedule of late, though I do set aside a lot more time when soirees come up.  In either case, my favorite pastimes include reading, tennis, golf, and the occasional participation in amorous congress.

 

Then again, every healthy adult can consider that last one a favorite pastime.  Wouldn't you agree, dear?"

"Oh-- uh, apologies, Your Ladyship." 

 

Lance jotted down more things onto his notebook.

Hates everything that isn't as powerful as her (My opinion, sure, but these are my notes.)

Make sure she does not see these. I'd get kicked out for sure.

 

"Amorous Congress. Yes, I agree completely."

 

He didn't even know what 'Amorous Congress' was.

 

"Next question: what are your opinions on the homeless?"

"That depends what you'd like to hear.  Officially, I donate millions of bits every year to charities that help the homeless in one way or another.  They are ponies down on their luck, and they deserve our empathy in their time of greatest need.

 

"Unofficially, I believe they need to try harder rather than just subsisting on hoof-outs.  They need to learn to take the initiative and take responsibility for themselves.  Otherwise I will only ever see them as parasites, which most of them are, unfortunately.  Manehattan, especially, would see a great downturn in its current crime rate if it banished all the vagabonds who pollute its streets, rob its businesses, and cost the city a good portion of its coffers every year to supply them with free food and housing that they don't deserve.

This mare scares me. Like, a lot.

Why am I even writing these now? I'm not going to publish them.

 

At least she didn't say she'd hunt me down and slaughter me. That's a plus.

 

Lance was sweating by now. He did not want to mess with 'Her Ladyship'. But curiosity got the better of him, and he kept asking questions.

 

"Uh... what is your opinion on..." 

 

He paused. Did he really want to ask about politics? No, it wasn't worth it. He tried to think of the most innocent question possible.

 

"...food?"

 

Food. Best question, ten out of ten.

Her beginning statement froze Lance in his tracks. Oooooooh crap. She's catching on. He tried to keep the fear out of his voice as he stated,

 

"Okay, that's all I needed. I won't publish the thing you told me not to publish, uh... thanks for having me, Your Ladyship."

 

And with that, he began making his way towards the exit.

@Hazard Time- Is that so, hehe. Still unlike you, I can never die by any means. You see I am not a normal mare as


 


most might think. I do accept your most generous offer and I will help you in ruling the Crystal Empire. In 


 


return however, I do need the current ruler's essence, as a currency madam. Meaning their well being, don't worry


 


I'll make it painless for them. For true villainy is what all the negative things in life is what makes a fearsome foe.


 


That takes a lot of strength more than anyone can think. I know you will as well. 


 


*Then stands up*


 


Excuse me madam, its nice to be talking with you. As I have a meeting that needs to be attended.


 


*Turns and heads toward door*  *Stops to look at her one last time*


 


Oh here is one thing, once everything is said and done. Think this through madam, in future time.


 


Who else will take your place as ruler? As you see pain is darkness itself and corrupts people's


 


minds. Meaning it will destroy he/she that lets it consume them and not control it. 


 


One thing is for truth is what that Griffon said too you. As he is right and it is hard to accept


 


truth like I accepted mine being the way I am. Good day Madam.

"Such generalizations!  If I thought you were actually above such chauvinism, I would have slapped you.

 

"I have found that it is not true, that emotions are for the weak.  Emotions are simply the way that you express your response to various stimuli.  Feelings, on the other hoof, are for the weak.  I can express an emotion of distress over your recent comment, for example, and somepony whose reason follows their feelings will be compelled to defend my honor against you.  Feelings are for bludgeoning your husband to death with a tennis trophy because he called you bossy; professionals, like me, have standards.

 

"As for if Equestria found itself in peril, assuming said peril was not to my benefit like, say, another Tirek, then yes, of course I would donate my resources and offer my assistance.  Everyone survives, and I earn myself a good reputation.  I can only benefit from action."

Is that so. *As he retracts his large white wings and a drop of red liquid comes out his eye*  

 

Well now, true darkness and evil has no feelings. Seems as though, no matter how evil one tries to be. They always fall back, where they started. On the other hoof, for me. Is another story.

 

You wonder how I knew you? *as he wipes his red tear from eye* 

 

Well, I suppose that I'm his master.  

 

Dark Matter to be exact. *As he stares into her eyes not blinking*  

 

Believe you met him and how I knew?

 

Hmph, I can feel his presence and who he talking too. As he is just a mere puppet, under my control. V

 

Even so, the world is mine for the taking and I can manipulate anyone as I please.

 

Just like I did too Sombra to make him destroy your bond with him. 

 

Why? For amusement is all. Its a shame for him to die. 

 

How is that for being a true villain?

 

*As he turns and brings out his large white wings before setting out for flight* 

 

Oh, and if your going to do something foolish. *As he stares deeply into everyone's eyes*

 

I advise you keep your savants minds in tact. As well as everyone's. 

 

I should be going now. V

 From what I feel you did and still do. *As his eye looks deeply within her eyes*

 

I see it and still crying inside. *As he looks deeper*  Hmm, your young self is there still. 

 

Yet, think as you will on me and a person's mind. There is more than you think of how manipulative I can be. 

 

Speaking of that, you wonder in the past a lot and how it controls you, does it too you? 

 

Better yet, is it worth ruling a empire to cover your wounds?

"Your arrogance truly is adorable.  Have you ever considered starting a merry band of misfit bards, travelling from village to village, regaling the uncultured peasantry of tales of distant lands: the labyrinth you solved, the dragon egg you hatched, and the Saddle Arabian princess you bedded?  Surely, those stories would be much more interesting and believable than the detritus you attempted to feed me.

"On a serious note, my patience with you is dimming by the moment.  If you so truly know who I am, then you would also know that you have no right to patronize me.  I am no victim, knave.  I would not be so powerful if I was.  I am what I am because it is what I want to be.  You may ask about 'my friend on the other side', but he is simply my patron, my true liege.  He has as much control over me as Cadance does, but unlike the Usurper, It rewards me well for my service.  Your words mean nothing to me."

*He smiled at her* That maybe true, for you. Still time will tell on your fate and everyone's as well. Even for that friend you mentioned.

 

You and this Cadance is nothing in my eye. Why? Well cause I know how weak everyone has gotten in their heads over the timelines. I sense it. 

 

Endurance has certain types of levels on people's minds, including you and her. No matter what you are or how high you climb. You still will  fall and that my mare is reality.

 

The truth, take or leave it. I am telling the truth and you are just assuming.

 

As your words mean nothing at all. My actions and yours will prove too who you truly are and still is, inside deep at core. As that goes for everyone in Equestria. 

 

*As he turns towards the door. Getting ready to exit*

 

So, go on ahead deny what I said. You are just making me stronger. Which will be easy for me to manipulate people like that as I please. *As he opens the door and glances at her one last time*

 

Oh, don't take it as a threat. Take it as fact and it will be proven. 

 

Good day, Crystal. *turns away then goes out and flies away*

A dark raspy laughter fills the room, a figure comes out of the darkness, with a curved horn. "So you want to claim the throne for yourself? Don't make me laugh." he moves closer to the Crystal Mare, fully revealing himself, dark purple eyes that seem to crave knowledge, black crystal armour, on his chest is a blood red triangle that seems to glow. He smirks. "Well sure you might want it to happen, but that doesn't mean it will, what have you got?! Seriously, your just a single mare, with very little, if any magic, how pathetic is that? You. Are. Nothing." he said sternly, his black mane shuffled just a bit, almost like Sombra's mane, He closed his eyes and then opened them, revealing Sombra like eyes, he snarled at her and faked that he was Sombra, but then he just stopped altogether. He smirked evily.

 

"What is, is not is. Beware of your surroundings, of what is a lie and what isn't. You have nothing. You are nothing. You are powerless, Lets see a Crystal Mare take over the empire, ruled by an Alicorn princess. Lets see you defeat her. With no magic at all, lets see you beat the elements of harmony. Extremely unlikely, it would be best to set that aside, and focus on more realistic things. You think your all hot stuff, eh?" his horn glowed  with a dull red glow, and lines of red electricity danced up and down his horn. "You remind me so much of the ponies of my past, you know what happened  to them right?" he asked, sounding rather ticked off by her very presence, the red electricity appeared to give his eyes a slight glow which glinted.

"You?!  But...you're dead!  You're supposed to be dead!  I watched you die!  I vividly remember your screams of pain and anguish as your body was sundered!  How?  How?!  How are you still alive?!"  The mare backed away in a panic, hyperventilating as her face contorted in an expression of pure terror.  This only lasted for another minute before the beginnings of a smile curved around the edges of her mouth.  What started as a nervous giggle escalated into a forced laugh.

"Of course!  How could I not see it before!  Sombra's dead, and you're a fraud!  I watched him die, there's no way he could have survived.  He's dead.  He's dead..."  After another minute of repeating this to herself, Carnelian was finally composed enough to talk.

 

0PdHKgQ.png

 

"I don't know who you are, but I will not easily forgive this trickery.  If you consider me powerless, then you truly seem to think that unicorns are the only race that can use magic.  That sort of arrogance just makes it all the more satisfying when they find their heart being throttled after a single glance from yours truly.

 

"But perhaps I should be humble.  No, I will not be the one to take the crown.  My destiny is to rear the one who will, and she walks among us as we speak.  If it were not for the REAL King Sombra, I would have completed her training and House Koroundio would become the Koroundio dynasty!  The Crystal Empire would have been Equestria's overlord, and our sovereignty would have extended from the southern jungles to the Griffish Mountains!

 

"No, the Tyrant upset that plan, and now my daughter hides from me, confused and disillusioned.  Even now, she thinks I need to be stopped, but what would she be stopping?  The only thing she would void by killing me is her entire life's purpose.  I know she is smart enough to know this, but she's also bullheaded enough to refuse to acknowledge it.  I will force her, even if it means having to wound my own child.  I will not let her wander down this path of self-righteousness and self-destruction.

 

"And when the day comes that my wayward child returns to the fold, the Usurper and her imbecilic husband will not stand a chance.  First the Empire, and then the whole world will kneel before the Koroundio dynasty; we shall establish an empire across the world, under the mandate of It-Who-Brings-Power, that shall last for millennia!

@@Hazard Time,

 

A dark laughter filled the room and he approached her. He liked seeing the fear on her face when he was Sombra. "How pathetic. You talk about what could have been instead of what actually happened. This empire of yours. Do you not realize the strength of 4 ALICORNS and those Mane 6 or whatever they are called? They'd smash this empire and their influence is spread all over the place. I'm not the type that simply just believes Unicorns are the best at Magic, Earth ponies are the best of strength, Pegasi are the best at flight, combine them all and you have an Alicorn, maybe give yourself some godly powers or something and then you are able to rule.

 

Your daughter chose her own path, you cannot control her destiny, let it unfold and see what she becomes! Now you on the other hoof..... your just arrogant, power hungry, self serving.... what have you offered this world if anything? Should the world grant you something in return for that, like death? For those who add nothing, get nothing. I myself learned that when I was in 'school' I HATED it so much, those... high achievers.. those who think they are the best..... I will wipe them off this planet.... And you.... I don't know...." he smirked evily at her, suddenly bursting a pair of Alicorn wings from his armour.

As he entered while inside his abomination of a machine makes whirling noises. Its presence made everyone fall in silence and tremble upon feelings its intense power coming out of it.

 

As he looks forward for the machine to march towards her. 

 

Then ordered the machine stop before the mare, with raise of hand and looking down upon her. Due too its massive size it looms forward for Pokey to see the mare.

 

As the machine dwarfs her upon being intimidating. The shadows made his red eyes behind his long grey hair visible. As they strike a chill up her spine.

 

"Oh, this is how you Equestrians look like."

 

"What,  does it surprise anyone, that I am not affected upon entering your world?" he said in a dark scary old voice.

 

As the machine makes growling noises while in current position. 

 

"Better yet, for all you Equestrians is what you call yourselves."

 

Ordered the machine to make space between him and her.

  2. Focus on the major cities first, but leave the capital alone.  That way, the princesses can sit and watch as their country is destroyed instead of putting together a response force and coming up with a plan to defeat you.  You have my guarantee that they WON'T do that.

"Still, I will take your word. As I keep mines."

 

As he is at the door. He chuckled a bit.
