Umbrum is just a simple lovestruck miner in Canterlot, he's known as a rather hardworking earth pony working in the infamous Crystal Caverns for his ends meet; At Least that's what most ponies know on the surface but not everything meets the eye.

Especially when some rather nosy ponies decided to dig into his nonexistent past.

He knew that the way to Celestia's heart would have its troubles but to this extent!?

This Sombra is based on the Sombra from the IDW's Reflections Au.

Teen is there just for precaution.

RGRE because everything is always fun in that world

Every citizen of the Crystal Empire seemed to go through memory loss after the 1,000 years banishment. What if King Sombra did as well?

History is a funny thing--so easily twisted to fit the one pony's opinion, and then that opinion can become widespread, now viewed as unchangeable fact.
The Crystal Empire is one prime example of that. It is very different from what everypony thinks to this day...

Many thanks to my (very patient ) proofreader, The Sound of Loneliness!

I have no idea what happened. One second, I'm sitting at my desk, working. The next second, I'm Sombra. Or rather, I'm in his body. And nobody seems to believe me about it...

Now with (amazing!) cover art by Mix Up. You can find their work here.
