Millenia after fleeing the Cataclysm that destroyed their homeworld, the globular cluster that has come be known the Forge is home to all manner of creatures. The old powers that launched the Exodus are long gone, and the current settlements live on their bones, scavenging what they can from the ancient magitech.

When a unicorn named Rutile Quartz learns of a sealed Crystal Empire vault that is speculated to be the tomb of the last alicorn empress, she swears a vow to help the researcher in search of it find and open the vault to learn the secrets within.

In the Forge, a vow is more binding than the strongest of magics, something the sworn will sacrifice anything to see done. But everything has a price, and the pony who sets hoof in the ancient Imperial vault may not be the same one who leaves it.

What would you do if all you were capable of doing is shattering dreams and bringing despair?
What would you do if you woke up one day, with only blurred memories mingled with pure darkness?
What could you do if you could only ask yourself these questions, What am I....who am I?

A series of Clone Wars stories in Equestria for fans of the Clone Wars show, video games, comics and ponies.

War has engulfed the galaxy! With heroes on both sides, the bitter conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems threatens to consume countless star systems. From the Core Worlds to the farthest reaches of the Outer Rim, the Clone Wars have affected countless lives. The fight rages every day between light and darkness.

The planet Equestria has been fortunate enough thus far to have avoided conflict. But soon, the ponies find their luck has run out, as their planet becomes the next battlefield in the greater war. Far from the rest of the galaxy, both sides fight for the fate of Equestria, knowing that even a single act can change the course of the war forever...

Many millennia ago, the Crystal Empire was ruled by the proud King Diamond Heart and Queen Rin. Their two children were perfect heirs that everyone adored.

But there was a third heir, born without the crystalline appearance of a Crystal Pony and the two much loved rulers hid him away. Years of neglect and hatred turned an innocent young Unicorn into something else and the discovery of what he was capable of caused him to spiral down into insanity.

Contains non-cannon origins of the Crystal Empire.

Onyx is a young crystal pony with a twisted mind and a complete lack of foresight. He relishes in the suffering of others and has a disturbingly chipper attitude. All this is to help conceal his absurd desire for revenge and bloodlust. When he was young, Starswirl the Bearded whisked him away from the Crystal Empire with promises of being his apprentice. Years later, this led to the one spell that changed Onyx's life and devastated an entire country, and much more.

Sombra is the result of that spell: a young and mysterious creature created by a kind of magic almost as twisted as Onyx's mind. Unfortunately, Onyx is now and forever in his mind, unable to die or age as they are locked in a constant power struggle and a journey across the Arctic that could claim both their lives should something take a tragic turn.

Before the Curse, there was prosperity,
Before the fear, there was love,
Before the downfall, there was resistance,

And before the monster, there was the stallion.
This is his story, unhindered and true.

Part of the Universe of the White Mare
Inspired by the video A Tale of One Shadow by Natasia Solitude, and by the Song of Storms trilogy by The 24th Pegasus.

Any and all constructive comments and criticism is welcomed.

As if things in Griffonstone weren't bad enough, the war between Celestia's subjects and Sombra's slaves has spread this far. Greed guides the reluctantly lent talons. The few gryphons that do fight can see that a brainwashing king has no intention of paying his mercenaries.

But that might not be enough to stop the fighting and get the ponies to take their problems off gryphon lands. On a whim, one gryphon chases down the last known location of the Idol of Boreas. If the legend is true, it might be the only thing that can save Griffonstone.

No creature wrote down exactly how it was supposed to do that.
