The Equestria Games are the event of the decade. A reason for great celebration. For the Crystal Ponies, it's the very first time they see the Games, and they even get to host them. They are euphoric.
The happiness and light within them powers the Crystal Heart. As the Heart receives more power, its effects get stronger. In particular, the arctic ice around the Empire is pushed back farther than ever before.
And under that ice, something slumbers, something waits. Now, it is uncovered. Now, it awakens.
Yes, I know this story is about an ancient being awakening from thousands of years of slumber. Yes, I know the tags are Dark and Tragedy.
But do you see the tag that's not there? It's the Adventure tag. So, if you're looking for a story where the fate of the world hangs in balance and dark forces bring about a tragic ending, please move along. This is not the story you are looking for.
Just an idea I had a while ago that wouldn't let me go. Will not update frequently, as I only wrote this on whims.
Character tags may be added as the story progresses.
I'm not quite sure if the categories are quite right. If you have any input on that, just tell me.
If you find any grammatical errors, please point them out so I can exterminate them.
I like this a lot!

Thanks. It's nice to hear you do.
Your story is excellent.
The writing style is very good and you manage to make me see the pony society with the eyes of a total alien... Yet keep it so familiar...
This is so good... I really hope to learn from reading you!

Gosh, that's–that's really, really kind of you to say.
(Thanks a lot for "favouriting" the story, by the way)
You see, "pony society seen from alien eyes", is basically the prompt that inspired this story, so it's wonderful to hear I have managed to get that right.
I came up with the basic ideas behind these creatures back in 2014, and I while fleshed out a lot of details while writing the story, the whole thing is, at its heart, just taking this species and asking 'What if?'
For future chapters, I'm thinking of maybe having a few bits from Twilight's or somepony else's perspective, just so we see more of their side of the story.
What do you think? Any ideas or suggestions?

I think it could give us a better understanding of the creature... There is so much mystery surrounding them... I'm very interested by Discord, Celestia and Twilight's point of view.
But on the other side, I'm rather interested by what we could still glance from their point of view...
