Making very good use of his free time, Starswirl the Bearded, untroubled by the lack of any sort of conflict or hidden plots in Equestria, was able to finish and achieve his greatest of creations, a spell, that when cast, would grant alicorndom to any who embodied a specific trait. Despite creating such powerful spell, Starswirl the Bearded opted to grow old, an in turn die, leaving his mantle to be taken up by Clover the Clever.

Clover became one of the most gifted archmages, but also one known to take the most time for themselves. As such, Clover followed her heart to the Crystal Kingdom, where she fell in love with the current leader there, Knight Regent Sombre winds. Together they pioneered a new branch of magic, the magic of love, and gave birth to a daughter.

The pairs daughter quickly became the most talented user of love magic known to the world, using her gift to spread love wherever she went. So gifted in this art did she become that Celestia and Luna were quick to grant the young mare a chance at alicorndom.

Many years later, both Clover and Sombre Winds passed peacefully together in their sleep, leaving their lands, the Crystal Kingdom, under the gentle, loving, guiding hoof of their daughter, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.
