Takes place after the Season 4 opener
Twilight received several books from Celestia about the Crystal Empire, with no instructions. Reading through the books to satisfy her curiosity, she comes across a copy of the Quatrains of Neighstradamus, the sage who had made several hundred predictions and prophecies.

When one of these prophecies seems to indicate the return of Sombra, Twilight and her friends will have to set out to ensure the prophecy doesn't come true. Dealing with a new type of magic, the Elements find they are always one step behind those trying to bring the crystal-obsessed King back.

First fic, leave feel free to leave some thoughts or feedback. Story starts out slow to establish some of the lore and history. Tags for future conflicts.
