I do not own My Little Pony! Only my oc's
The past…..
A pale silver alicorn mare ran through the streets of the Crystal Empire, toward the castle, the sun shining bright behind her. Sunlight glinting off of her shoes and silvery crown that sat upon her head, and held down some of her obsidian and crimson mane, which matched her tail. Her hooves thundered over the ground loudly, ponies moved out of her way, lest they be trampled.
A darkness was spreading across the Crystal Empire, slowly but steadily. The mare had sent a letter to the Princess's Celestia and Luna, but she was afraid that they would not come in time in order to help save not only this Empire but her own daughter Night Star, who was just a young filly who hadn't gotten her cutie mark as of yet.
She prayed to the stars up above that they would get there in time in order to help her save her people. She may be a princess, but to her, nothing is more important than saving her daughter as of that moment as she slammed the doors of the castle open with her magic, energy crackling around her. As the Princess of Balance, she had a job to do, to keep the world in balance.
She froze when she saw her daughter cowering in a corner, as the young filly's own father laughed aloud, an insane look glittering in his eerie green eyes. Dark energy surrounding the stallion, this stallion was known as Sombre, but he preferred King Sombre as he has become consumed by his lust for power and immortality. To think this lust for power started out as an innocent wanting of living forever with the love of his life, the very Alicorn who was there to stop him. This Alicorn, the wife of Sombre, and mother of Night Star, is known as Princess Misty Sun.
Her daughter Night Star is also a princess, not because of her race, since she is a unicorn like her father, but because of her mother. But there is supposed to be a young prince to come soon, but alas this prince will not grow up with his father, if he manages to survive this battle his mother is about to partake in, since he is still but a tiny spec in his mother's womb.
"Stop this Sombre! Why do you do this?! This quest for power will not end well!" she screamed as she sent a blast of white magic at Sombre, who blocked it with a wall of dark crystals. She spread her large silvery wings and flew up into the air, her horn surrounding by her magic, which was white at the moment. Sombre growled at her, and sent out a blast of his own magic, which was a sickly greenish-black in color, to which she blocked with a white barrier.
Unbeknownst to Sombre, his daughter Night Star was skirting around behind him, and heading toward a small diamond encrusted crystal table. The table had been a wedding gift from Luna and Celestia. Misty Sun let out a streak of white magic, hitting Sombre in the chest, before she flew out the window, in hopes of drawing him out. Sombre followed her by teleporting outside, to the very edge of the center square. Celestia and Luna arrived seconds later, and flew straight toward Sombre, since they knew of Misty Sun's plan to end this darkness…at least for a thousand years, give or take a few centuries of course.
While Celestia and Luna fought Sombre, Misty Sun summoned a beautiful heart shaped crystal and summoned up the love that her people felt for her and her daughter in order to give the stone power, but Sombre saw her before she could finish the spell and leapt at her. Alas he missed and she flew back into the castle on swift silver wings and landed just next to the table that her daughter was hiding under.
She brought the heart up in front of her and cast the final piece of the spell, just as her daughter came out from under the table, and as Sombre teleported inside the castle. As the spell took place, she could feel her magic draining away, even as Sombre was slowly destroyed, banished to the darkest pits of hell.
This spell had a drawback though, because as her magic drained her body slowly turned to that of stone, and she was not the only one in that room to turn to stone, her daughter also turned to stone. "I'm sorry," that was the last thing she said before her and her daughters bodies became solid stone, even the child with her womb froze and stopped growing.
Luna let out a cry of anguish when she saw that her closest friend, and the foal she once helped take care of, turn to stone. Even Celestia shed tears at the sight of Misty Sun and Night Star encased in stone. "Dear Sister, we must move them before the rest of her spell takes hold of the Crystal Empire, otherwise Equestria will lose more than just one princess," Celestia said as her magic wrapped around the statuette of young Night Star, lifting it up slowly. Luna stood, wiping her eyes, "Your right" she said as her own magic enveloped the statuette of Misty Sun.
The two sisters flew out of the Crystal Empire, toward their castle, just at the other side of the Everfree forest. Once landing they set the two statues inside the garden, so that Misty Sun and Night Star could still feel the light of the sun and moon.
Many years have passed since then, and with it the coming of Nightmare Moon. After Celestia sealed Nightmare Moon inside the moon, she took the statues of Misty Sun and Night Star and placed them in the gardens of her new home, Canterlot.
What Celestia did not know is that there was life inside the statues, albeit frozen in time until the time when the Crystal Empire would return, and with it the return of not only King Sombre, but the return of the Lost Princess and her daughter.
