[Count Sadoc 2]

*any small details that may not have been in this, char. descriptions, emotions, what they brother does, etc. will most likely be added in the fic. don’t worry *

*again anything you want to suggest is helpful, please tell me if I'm ignoring anything major

 

• Elements of Chaos (betrayal, unhappiness, greed, lies, cruelty, and dark magic) made by the chaotic forces after elements of harmony are discovered, but could not be used because it was too late.

• sombra and (older) brother are unicorns, living in the crystal empire

• sombra’s father is a great soldier in the crystal guard, and the mother is a florist

• the brothers go on a mis-adventure into a cave that they find one day when playing

• sombra, on another day starts playing with ants, pretending he is the ruler, when the ants do not follow his commands he starts using magic, and crushes them, that is when he get’s his cutie mark (a black crown)

• sombra’s brother get’s his cutie mark (an eclipsed sun) when he starts doing advanced magic to protect his brother from some bullies {I feel like I should elaborate on him being bullied and teased more}

• one day the father returns home saying that they have to leave, that the guard is coming, and they go

• years later sombra and his brother go their separate ways from home

• sombra, who has worked up a jealousy of his brothers magic skill goes to canterlot for magic training

• after no one accepts him, he is surprisingly taking in by Luna as her student(and they develope a friendly relationship)

• sombra, over a period of years {should I detail this section?} begins to master the arcane arts

• One day sombra goes on a walk and runs into his brother (who he hasn’t seen in years) and challenges him to a magic duel

• Even though sombra has nearly mastered the arcane arts, his brother still beats him

• Sombra is embarrassed and goes back to training, but still doesn’t think it is enough

• After one late night of studying, sombra reads a book containing information about dark magic

• He asks Luna about it who says it is forbidden, and warns him not to go into that subject again

• Sombra however is determined and goes through exploring the castle finds a secret entrance to the dark library

• he goes mad with how much knowledge he finds and while reading he learns how to controll dark crystals and how to bind himself with things around him and control them

• After reading these books, he spots a crown protected in the back of the library and tries to steal it

• after failing breaking the spell the first time the spell alerts alerts luna and celestia, he immediately uses all of the dark magic he just used to break to glass and then puts on the crown

• after putting on the crown, his true power is revealed as his horn curves and is streaked with bright red

• Then he comes face to face with the princesses who looked shocked and angry

• after a bit of dialogue, they try to trap him with spells, but he uses dark magic to escape

• after running for about a day, using magic to dull his trail he looks up to see his brother

• his brother (who does not recognize the crown) begins to ask his brother what he is doing

• sombra explains everything, then his brother asks for the crown

• sombra timidly gives it to him, but when he puts it on, his true power is revealed too and his horn curves, but it curves the opposite way from sombra’s and gets a streak of bright gold.

• his brother however, realizes that it is dark magic, and promptly takes it off and puts it in his backpack

• he looks to his brother in an ashamed fashion, but cannot find it within himself to report him

• he then tells sombra to go to their father and hide until he can get it figured out

• sombra asks for the crown back, but is refused

• he then goes into a rage, agonizing over the POWER he just lost

• when he gets home he talks to his father and explains everything to him

• however when he wakes up he finds himself in front of guards (they don’t recognize the father) who want to bring him to celestia, and he sees his father behind them disappointed

• he soon becomes enraged at the guards, the situation, and his father

• he explodes with dark magic, wiping out the guards, he then turns to his father who betrayed him and in one swift action, eliminates him

• from his father he finds an amulet, that emanates with a similar power that the crown did(element of betrayal)

• he then goes to the castle and confronts the princess of the crystal empire and demands she step down, she refuses

• he easily defeats her and quickly assumes power over the crystal empire

• over a period of months he enslaves the people, and anyone who comes close [this is how no one comes to aid the empire, because no news is coming from it]

• sombra’s brother goes to visit his brother after not hearing from him

• he walks upon the kingdom and sees everything his brother has done

• he becomes enraged by his brothers actions and calls out to him

• sombra, who now calls his brother lesser than him says that he is now the greatest unicorn that ever lived

• his brother tells him that he has gone mad with power and that he now has to destroy sombra

• they both become enraged and then their horns radiat and extend to become horns of power [making their magic stronger, and also be sword like to stab and slash]

• After a long battle the brother is almost defeated, but pulls out the other elements of chaos to heal himself (but this is the beginning of a corruption process, the brother knows this that is why he didn’t start with it)

• even though he is shocked at this, sombra try to defeat him again but his brother has gained power from the elements and defeats sombra

• looking over him he cannot bring himself to kill his brother so he banishes him to the far north after he takes the element from him

• as he takes the element though, the floor below him disappears and he falls into an empty field, as he hears his brothers laugh for the last time(for now)

• he turns to see the princesses shocked at what just happened

• he then presents the elements of chaos to the princesses, but they see that he is the only one who can resist their corruption and so they leave it to him to guard them

• the brother, accepts but still doesn't trust himself, so he request that he and the elements be locked away far underground so that no civilians can be in the way if something were to happen and he also request to be locked away with them

• he also requests that they not speak of him defeating his brother, because he does not want eqestria to know want he did to his brother

• they don’t question and grant him this, before he goes, however; they say that he would be a great prince, but since that is the path he does not wish to chose, they grant him the title of ‘count’
