All For the Want of a Horseshoe Nail

by Amante
What if the message about the Crystal Empire never got to Celestia? What if Shining Armor and Princess Cadence weren't there to protect the empire? What if Sombra managed to take it back instead?

Northern Equestria. A barren, icy, landscape plagued with unscaleable mountains and endless blizzards. It has got to be the worst place you could possibly be assigned to in the Guard. Absolutely nothing happens here, and the only things there to keep you company are your fellow soldiers and a rickety old train station.

But something does happens. A flash of light, and a city appears out of nowhere. Unfortunately the city isn't alone. Living shadows seem to have amassed themselves around the area.

A message must be sent to Canterlot. The Princesses have to know about what is happening here.
