Have since marked this as "Completed" since I have now realized that I'm never going to continue this. I hope that people will be able to find some sort of inspiration from this tale anyway.

Happy reading!

The Crystal Empire.

A beautiful country on the other side of the Crystal Mountains in the Frozen North. A paradise that literally shines harmony and peace throughout the land. But how did this beacon of hope come to pass?

The answer lies with the last Good King of the old era. This is his tale.

"love, power, and a Crystal Heart,"

***UNEDITED***

((Believe it or not, I actually regret making this years later, but I'm leaving it up for posterity's sake than anything. I hope you enjoy it even though I have no idea why you should))

I am a soldier. There's just no other way to describe me. Since the day of my birth, I've been thrust into the life of a killer on the battlefield. And unfortunately for me, I'm good at what I do. I don't even know what we're fighting about anymore. I want to just give up. I want to die. But the day I finally see peace in the shape of an orange pony is the day I question myself in ways I didn't think possible.

A different take on the "Soldier in Equestria" genre. I may or may not write an Epilogue for this someday.

Inspired heavily by "The youth in the garden" written by The Descendant.
