A story from the Waterverse

___________________________________

The Crystal Empire survived the quake, but the city was left in tatters. The Crystal Palace was destroyed. Lives were lost. Hundreds of homes decimated as the earth opened up and swallowed them into the infinite black.
But the ancient empire still lives. Their leaders, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, endured the terrible disaster. The city may be ragged, the hearts of its citizens may be broken, but the power that fuels the Crystal Heart still burns. It breathes. It lives.
And because of that power, the Crystal Empire will rise again.
