Crystal caverns

200 years earlier

A hooded pony can be seen hauling crates about the cavern,the crystals reflected the figure's image around a million times over..And with a thud the figures drops the last crate,the sound echoing around the cavern. The crate sat on a small wooden dock overlooking the submerged section of the cavern. the figure trotted away,honoring the tradition of her mother and her mother before her....but unlike her mother...the figure turned back to watch..

A dark cloud-like shadow approached the dock.The cloud taking the shape of a boat,it pulled alongside the dock. A dark howling wind filled the cavern and the crates were lifted by it and taken on-board the shadow ship......and the ship just disappeared...the figure was puzzled but she started trotting away until suddenly the shadow cloud was upon her...The shadow did not like witnesses....the shadow did not like liabilities...the shadow did not like loose ends.
