We all know of King Sombra and his cruel regime over the Crystal Empire nearly one thousand years ago. The enslavement of thousands and the deaths of many more. Finally, how our benevolent princesses overthrew his tyranny and sent the once mighty people into a deep hibernation from the flow of time. This is common knowledge in the modern world of Equestria after its return, yet what if I showed you the truth that was hidden behind the veil of lies?
Notes*
1. Foremost I would like to thank my prereader Ryan Darling for taking the time to go over my work.
2. My inspiration for this was by the Ranger Apprentice series and SillyFillyStudios, Fall of the Empire, trailer. I take no credit for either of these, and I am not part of the latter's creation.
3. Artwork: Atohas from Deviantart
4. I used the Equestria and beyond map for a reference point.
5. The human tag relates to what would have been ponies in the Crystal Empire are instead humans. Everything else has been left unchanged.
Well, without further ado, please enjoy.
Did Celestia turned the surviving humans into crystal ponies, fuzzied their memories and raised Cadence to become a figurehead under her control?
This is a great concept and I can't wait Until the next chapter. Honestly this deserves a bigger following. Keep up the great writing!
3047438 Thank you very much for the complement. I'm glad a few people are enjoying it.
3047195 Now this is a good guess, but not quite. You'll just have to wait until i finish the next two dozen chapters or so.
did humanity get banished along with the crystal empire and it ponies for a 1000 years? cause it would make sense if that what really happen to them and it be really cool~! there smart survivors after all just fighting for there right to existence as a species against all odds.
I will be counting Down the days!
3047195 I like the way you think
interesting concept
u would be interesting group of humans and loyal to shadow ponies, succeed in escaping and disappear until release empire and achieve cuandoreaparezca return or release him just to rule Equestria games and take advantage of denouncing the actions of celestia and luna all his allies foreign
Ezia Morderca? Seriously? I don't know where Ezia came from, but do you know that Morderca means murderer in Polish?
