The light, the dark, and the being between them

        In a faraway fantasy land, there was a kingdom called “The Crystal Empire”, when there was a dark past, this empire suffered by a tyrannical ruler called King Sombra, but he was defeated by the power of the 2 princesses of Equestria: Celestia and Luna. 1000 years passed and this land prospered by the help of his new ruler, Princess My Amore Cadenza, with his husband Shining Armor, these 2 led the empire with wisdom and justice…

But, in the underground, there are still dark crystals who survived, threatening the land above them, if nopony do anything, the Crystal Empire can be destroyed, and the evil will expand to Equestria, leaving only dark and an evil king. Only a being that was touched by the dark and the light, can prevent this horror, but it need more than friendship to defeat the shadows, even more than the light, it needs the help of his family…and the power that his old possessor gave him…

“UGH! I believed that this class would last forever!” a boy named Terrence moaned about the chemistry class as he was leaving the school.

“Aw, don´t be like this,” his sister Elizabeth comforted him, “you know that you can ask me about the homework.”

“I know, I know, but with the exams very soon, I´m freaking out!” he screamed and sighed, “damn, I need some time alone,” He said as he put his headphones and started to listen to music.

“Hey! What´s up!” a third voice was presented to the 2 brothers; it was James, their old brother.

“Hello James!” Liz called him

“Hey brother!” Terrence accompanied her “How about the exam?”

“Like hell, but with luck, I think that I´m going to approve Math.”

“C’mon! I shared with you my mathematic mind; you are going to get a B,” Terrence showed off his skills.

“Ok, switching the focus, we need to think right now about the talent show,” Liz began their event planning.

“I´ve was thinking about this and I vote for a music performance.” Terrence talked first.

“A music performance?” Liz stared him with a confused look.

“Yeah, think about it, me with the drums, James with his guitar, you with your voice, we will leave them stunned by the awesomeness of the music!” he exclaimed, “what do you think?”

“Umm, but I don´t have a nice voice,” his sister said shyly.

“Oh! C´mon! You have an amazing voice! I know that you can be our vocalist,” James cheered her.

“…I…I think that I can do it.” She accepted unsure.

“Great! I´m on this too!” James answered him with no doubt.

“Alright! But now, I need to study for the tomorrow´s exam.” Terrence finished the conversation as he pulled out his chemistry book from his backpack and started to read “…Damn, this is very hard.”

After a small road trip, the 3 brothers arrived in their home, a simple cyan house with 2 floors; they entered and found that their parents were cooking the lunch: A salad, spaghetti and Rib eye.

“Oh, hello, how was your day?” Their mother Michelle noticed them and greeted.

“It was fine mom,” Terrence answered.

“Hey boys, looks like we have a special lunch for the last bimester.” Their Father named Marco announced.

“He, thanks dad,” Liz thanked.

“So, I heard that you are going to participate in the talent show, what are you going to do?” her mother asked the brothers.

“Well, Terrence thought about a music performance but we didn´t have instruments, so, we are going to buy them tomorrow,” James answered.

“Ok,” she commented.

After eating, Terrence went to his room in the second floor, and lay down in the bed listening to music in his MP5, until he felt something…a type of energy, too dark, too evil, too…familiar. He got up and looked to the window, the sky was cloudy, nobody was here, and it was cold, Terrence didn´t understand why, a few minutes before the sun was shining in all its splendor, he looked to the garden and found a…type of black crystal, his curiosity guided him to jump through the window and landed in the backyard.

The boy searched for the crystal again and spotted the object again, the crystal in question had a medium size, the half of Terrence´s height, it has a black glow around it, and somehow Terrence felt energy in the glow. Suddenly, another crystal emerged from the ground, and other, and other, several crystals appeared around Terrence and surrounded him, he was frightened, then, one crystal shot a purple ray to the crystal on its side, and this crystal shot to another, and successively, forming a purple circle around the boy.

Suddenly, all the crystal shot another ray, but with the difference that the rays shot Terrence´s head. He yelled in pain, it was like a twinge in his brain, but the pain faded away after a minute of this, but another surprising thing happened, a purple portal appeared above the boy, Terrence felt that the portal was attracting him to his interior.

“AHH! HELP!” He screamed as he held the grass to avoid being sucked.

His family ran to her only to witness the boy being sucked up by the portal.

“TERRENCE!” Liz cried and ran to the portal.

“NO!” James attempted to stop her, but she leaped to the portal, he ran to her and entered too.

“KIDS!” Their parents were the last to enter to the portal before it closes completely. The only thing those they don´t know was that their world is been attacked by several dark crystals, beginning to absorb the vitality here and causing chaos…

Inside the portal the family was spinning and screaming, but only Terrence was glowing and feeling like he was changing to somehow, a big glow was in the last of the spinning tunnel, and then it was nothing…

Meanwhile, in a small village, a lavender alicorn startled awake, she was feeling something…something dark but luminous too, this energy confused her, but then it faded away. The unicorn tried to sleep again, but after she fell asleep again, a faraway glow appeared in the outskirts of the town and another appeared in a red farm.

Terrence saw that he was falling to a red farm and crashed inside it with a loud sound.

“What the hell was that?!” A female voice appeared, but Terrence was very injured that he fainted.
