"Why dark magic?" Green Vine asked "Ponies would like you better if you weren't so scary."

"Dark magic is strong and powerful." Sombra said before looking away for a moment. "I don't care if ponies like me or not."

"But being alone will always make things worse," Green Vine said, poking Sombra softly with a hoof "There are other types of magic that are powerful too, you know."

Orions Sword stopped in her tracks, mid hoof step, the dark mare setting it down carefully. "I had a brother... A twin brother. We were both in search and rescue, but he was more focused on caring for those we saved and I... I wanted to help actually save them. Well, one day I convinced him to go on a run with me, safe some fillies and foals from one of those nurseries that Tyrek has, and he was caught," Her voice faltered, the tremble clear in her voice.

"I know there is other type of magic." Sombra said glaring at her. He didn't bother to talk about being lonely. Truth was he was really lonely but did all he could to ignore it.

Hawkeyes258"You need friends," Green Vine declared, smiling at Sombra "And not ones who want to do bad things!" Getting an idea, she squealed "I can help you!" sweetclover1"I bet your brother was very brave," Discord told Orion. His tail tip swished over her shoulder in comfort, resting there for a second before whisking away. Floating over her, he continued "I bet he's smiling upon you from beyond the heavens, hm?" Scratching his chin, he suggested "You could maybe even... see him again. If Scorpan would send others out to find the Light Rainbow." Maybe her brother was worthy of a second chance at life? Setting himself down on the ground, curled in a semi-circle around Orions Sword, Discord told her "Whatever happens, you'll get Tirek back for it, be it directly or indirectly. He deserves it."

"How"? Sombra said unsure of why she wanted to help or if this would even work.

"You're just like that because you don't know how!" Green Vine said "Now, come on. The library here has books on everything. Somepony like you needs to be taught alone before being put with others."

Sombra decided to indulge her. "Fine let us head to the library then." He said with a small flick of his ear.

Green Vine smiled before leading the way to the library, where there were books on anything. She brought Sombra over to an entire, long strip of shelves of books on friendship. She took out a book with her magic, and held it to Sombra. The title was "Friendship for Dummies."

"I'm not a dummy." Sombra mumbles as he uses his magic to pick it up and looks at the first chapter. "Here goes nothing." He mumbled to himself.

"Yes you are, because you have no friends," Green Vine said as she picked out a book for herself. Sitting where she was, she found herself asking "Did you ever have anyone close you?" Maybe she was wrong, and he'd had friends before?

"I used to." Sombra said keeping his eyes on the book. He couldn't help but crack a smile. "There was a time when I was the handsomest pony in the entire Crystal Empire."

"Ooooh," Green Vine said "Did you have a special somepony??" She sat in front of Sombra, laid down. Like a filly ready for story time.

"At some point I did." Sombra lowers the book slightly his gaze looking sad. "Her name was Stardust. She was beautiful."

"Some point?" Green Vine echoed, curiously "What happened?" She blinked her big, innocent eyes at Sombra, as if asking him about such things wasn't personal in the slightest.

"She chose another stallion and ran off." Sombra growled his eyes glowing with anger and sadness. "She found out about my fascination with dark magic and labeled me a freak!"

"That's not nice," Green Vine decided "You didn't deserve her then. If she really loved you, she would've accepted your practices. You'd both be evil together, not that I'm encouraging it." Looking up at Sombra, she declared "Tell you what. I'll be your friend until you get some real ones on your own! So you won't be alone all the time anymore!"

"Why are you so nice to me?" Somba asked giving her a weird look. He had been rude to her earlier and threatened to hurt her. Her behavior confused him.

sweetclover1"Oh, but there is something that can be done," Discord told Orion "However, if the Light Rainbow can't be found soon... I have a backup plan." He poked the mare with his tail, continuing "Either way, I'm getting my friend back." He smiled, chin resting in a paw as he thought. His backup was easier, but not as... respected. Or legal. Scratching his chin, he decided "I just wonder... why accept death? It takes too much anyway from us. Or, you ponies anyway. I'm immortal. A god, if you may. Just makes living much more painful though, because we lose so much more than mortals." Hawkeyes258"If you read your book," She reached a hoof to tap the book she gave him "One of the first rules is pretty much to keep turning the other cheek, even if it gets slapped. Just keep being nice."

"Well, it works," Green Vine said "You just need to be more accepting. Now, back to your book!" She used a hoof to move it up a little for him.

"Fine." Sombra grumbled before looking back at the book.

"How do you plan on getting her back? And even if you did, would she be happy?" She challenged, deciding that Orions Belt would be happier... wherever he was than on this pit that they lived in. The dark pegasus shook her head, the aggravation clear in her body language. She took a step forward, not paying attention to where she was going, and felt the earth go out from under her. Letting out a soft string of curses she got up, trying to figure out whether it was a ditch or a small cliff. Discord glided over and plucked Orion up, saying "You fell in a ditch, if you were wondering." He'd avoided answering her question. Setting her back on good ground, he continued "I just wish we had a better world to bring the dead back to. So they wouldn't miss being dead." Sitting back after letting Orions Sword go, his ears drooped a little. Shaking his head, he decided softly "I never even got to say goodbye..." That little sentence was more for himself to hear, really. Sighing, he laid down again, saying "I'd like to bring her back, if even for a moment. If she wants to stay where she is, then fine. As long as I get closure." Looking over at Orion, he asked "Did you ever say goodbye, Oreo? You'd at least like some closure, wouldn't you?"

Hawkeyes258The quiet didn't last too long. Five minutes later, Green Vine asked "Sooo... what were you like before you turned into a nut?"

"A proud and respectable wizard who served the king and queen." Sombra said as he continued to read. That seemed like such a long long time ago. Yet he remembered those time as clear as day.
