Sombra had an unusual rise to power.. As part of a prophecy she was declared the leader of the clan at birth, and given the fated name. Her parents in the prophecy were foretold to be Oscuro and Malva, however in a very controversial turn, a child of theirs, Amiga, ended up mating with an outsider to produce a single egg.. The leader of the clan. Amiga wanted nothing to do with the broken prophesy and poisoned Sombra as a hatchling, stunting her rise to power and preventing her from having the energy to learn flight. Now with some questioning her right to power, Her father having left, her mother being banished, and enemies lurking within her clan.. will she have the strength and willpower to lead a strong clan.. or will her clan fall to weakness...

-Sombra has a rather odd, and perhaps broken personality. She can be described as: shameless, unstable, persistent, abrupt, rude, and emotional. She tends to make others very uncomfortable with her erratic behavior and violent mood swings. She is however deceivingly perceptive, intelligent, and good at lying and acting. She feels very at home in the dark, enjoys making people nervous, loves spiders, but is terrified of birds. She also enjoys physical contact, playful flirting, and prefers the company of females.

It has been quite some time since I took on leadership in this clan.. It has become very comfortable for me. It took time to prove myself to them after the controversy, but I succeeded. The dragons follow my orders. Under my command they are organized, the clan is cleaner, better hidden and defended. Allowing outsiders in and out of the clan won't change without a conflict requiring fortification. The outsiders that choose to stay.. all my dragons.. They trust me and my leadership now. Even Llamarada and his allies have been quieter recently. I have plans to further the strength of this clan.. and I don't intend to lose it.. It feels like home.. it feels safe and comfortable in a way that somehow I cannot understand fully. I need this clan.. and I intend to keep the trust of my clan, as well as respect their opinions and ideas, and help them to feel at home here like I do.

I am a fool.. I knew I wasn't allowed to feel safe.. I knew I couldn't relax. I'm unbearably stressed, not sleeping.. not eating.. This war.. I don't think I can stop it now. I don't know what to do.. Galactica doesn't know what to do. I don't think I can deescalate what has been put in motion.. My wings ache and I feel sick.. Shadowbinder save me.

Rey came to me in the night... I was about ready to rip his throat out for sneaking up on me when I'm this jumpy. He wanted to pledge his loyalty to me directly, a result of this impending crisis. I was surprised by the sudden show of care however. Rey and I have been fighting alongside each other for a long time now. I trusted him already, and despite this, we hardly really knew each other personally. I would like to remedy this. If we survive this stupid war, I fully intend to know Rey on a more personal level. Despite us not speaking very frequently, we already bickered like families do. I... I care about Rey. I never realized how much I do care about him. And I never noticed before how much he also cared about me. I do trust him, and I've asked him to sleep with me tonight. It's so cold, and I really could use the company.

After speaking with members of the Underdark, I am both aggravated and relieved... Turns out they had a weapon sitting under us this whole time, but they neglected to tell me about it. This information was brought to me by a pirate in the Ash District who calls herself Scourgewing. I didn't think my own spies would keep such an important issue from me, but it appears I was mistaken. To make matters worse it seems this weapon was programmed to kill the majority of my clan! Everyone who was not Shadowborn I believe... I suppose they didn't think I needed any more to worry about, and they were probably right. This weapon was somehow linked to me however, and it would obey my commands. Scourgewing told me it was built by her to keep me safe, and that I could change it's orders from killing my whole clan off, to ending the Civil War! That was a lot of stress relief to have a secret weapon... but next time I know I cannot be so patient. Next time I must act, before the threat can fully emerge. I'm afraid... my clan won't enjoy as much freedom here as they used to. I suppose that's the price to pay to keep the peace. Zargosa... I will lock you up for good. As for Scourgewing... I know she's hiding things from me still. She's mysterious, but for now she seems to be my ally. I'm not sure I trust her... but keeping tabs on her if sufficient for now. I have bigger things to worry about.

Now that things have died down, and the Ash District is independent, there is an eerie calm over everything and everyone. It feels almost like the brambles are waiting for more betrayal. I still do not feel safe here... and I know more traitors exist. I'm now considering making an actual prison, deep in the Underdark. Perhaps where we found the old machines. I'll ask what others think before acting on this, but for now I've ordered my spies to build a prison. We can keep this quiet, and the prison doesn't have to be widely known about. When the prison is built, I'll have Zargosa be the first mongrel I lock up. Secondly will be that coward Llarmarada, and maybe a few others... I know some of them were sheep, so they could get off easy, but I still must be cautious. I will not tolerate another disaster like this one.

I have begun to realize, that despite caring greatly for Rey, and wanting to have him around... I don't wish to be mated to him. I think he understands, but I just don't believe Rey is truly what I want. I haven't yet decided on what I want to tell him, but I think he already knows. I just keep seeing this new dragon around the camp. I believe they're trying to recruit themselves as one of my spies... but there's just something about them... perhaps I should introduce myself, they can't be busy if I expedite their process for them.

The closeness I feel for Shade is now immeasurable. I feel like we were meant to exist together. It probably sounds insane, since we are from different worlds, but I love her. I see the Underdark watching us closely, and I felt the same suspicions they did. Shade was feigning interest, she was but now she's serious. I can feel it... the change in both of us. I am very glad that Rey understood and accepted me leaving him. He promised he'd always be at my side to protect me, and support me. He says he felt like it was his fault for pushing me when I was vulnerable. I don't know how true that is, but I will gladly have these two protecting me as well.
