This story is a sequel to Broken Bonds

In year 2026 on the planet of Sol, the tentative peace treaty hashed out by the four core lands of the Confederation of Equestria held for decades. It was not until the birth of Empress Celestia Silverlight and Emperor Justice Silverlight foals that the Peace Treaty was solidified. The first core land to solidify the Peace Treaty was the New Lunar Republic when Empress Celestia sent her own son, Grand Solar Prince Somnus Silverlight to live with her sister President Luna Silverlight, the ruling body of the New Lunar Republic. Celestia knew her sister would happily accept her son as a peace offering as she formed a strong bond with Somnus when Equestria was still one land.

The next core land to solidify the Peace Treaty was the Crystal Empire ruled by Princess Cadence Sparkle. Celestia knew her adopted niece Cadence and her family would accept her youngest daughter Grand Solar Princess Blueberry Swirl Silverlight as a peace offering like Luna, Cadence formed a strong bond with Blueberry when Equestria was still one land. But as for the rest of the Empire, a strong dislike still existed in that land. Several opposition groups have hidden in the Crystal Empire and the Friendship Kingdom territory feeding off the Dark Crystal power that lies buried in the Empire.

As for the oldest of the Silverlight foals, Grand Princess of the Sun Aurora Silverlight remained at her mother’s side and runs the daily affairs of the Solar Empire. She also communicates regularly with her siblings who report to her as part of the peace treaty agreement.

Meanwhile, in the small Kingdom of the Dark Star, on the outer fringes of the Confederation of Equestria, Princess Circe Static continues to formulate her master plan for the core lands of the Confederation of Equestria. This plan is five billion years in the making and started in deep space far from the Planet of Sol in the Infinity Star Sector.

A note: This end the first phase of this project for me.
