After vanishing from a curse for more than 1000 years, little is known about the Crystal Empire and its inhabitants. Especially the final years of King Sombra's rule remain shrouded by mystery. Even to the crystal ponies themselves as their memories remain effected by the tyrant King's dark magic.

Now the Crystal Empire has returned and King Sombra has been defeated, but the aftermaths of his cruelty still linger within his former subjects.

One crystal pony begins travelling through Equestria to learn about her past and finds friends along the way. Will revealing her past help her understand more of herself and find a place in this new future?

Six years have passed since Crystal Note could reveal the secrets of her past. Back in the Crystal Empire after years of travelling, the crystal unicorn gets confronted by the next generation of crystal ponies under very unusual circumstances.
Meanwhile, a group of young ponies takes on a journey that might change their future.
