Hear the story of the first queen of the Crystal Empire and how it fell to Sombra.

Long ago Before Equestria was under Discord's rain there was more than the alicorn sisters but 4 more as well. Celestia & Luna were the main leaders of the alicorn's but the other four were Chaos, Luvbi, Umbra, and Sapphire. Each with there own ways of life from Chaos's trickster ways to Luvbi's misuse of love. But Umbra was different he was a great master of magic but very shy one thing he did love was flying but what he loved more than flying was Sapphire. Sapphire was different than the other alicorns, she can grow crystals and make extraordinary things even her coat shimmers like a jewel but what happens when that power leads her to banishment and three alicorns becoming monsters?

Prolouge: What have I done?

Why? Was my powers a blessing or a curse? Was my appearance a chance of luck or a gift from the devil? Was the ones that loved me there or just a memory? Why have my powers done evil than good to those i once knew, my friends no my family. Because of my actions they have payed a price more harsh than banishment. But i must stop thinking that the power i was gifted with was he cause of my lover turning bad but the ponies i have helped and now i have caused them all pain for me not being the queen that swore to protect them but the one who failed to stop a tyrant and end up losing my gift to the world. But there is nothing i can now do for now i can keep giving them all what they need, hope. To think if i said yes to one question none of this would have happened, My banishment,my family's betrayal to Equestria, The homeless earth ponies,my daughter and husband,Luna.... Oh why I have failed you because now i know there is no such thing as a good deed, but karma changing fate and in this case my fate is now sealed...

      In Canterlot, the two princesses are as sad as can be with Celestia trying her best to make sure everything is OK & Luna having her heart shattered into a million pieces was crying into her pillow. The past days events had her knowing that only her and her sister are now and possible forever the only alicorns now. But of all ponies it was her best friend that payed the biggest price, her death in the empire that she made for homeless earth ponies. the one thing that was truly lost was her newborn Pegasus daughter.

As far as anypony knows. for the protection of the empire was guarded not by an army but a special spell she used to keep her powers to keep her subjects safe from the Arctic North's freezing weather. Luna sat alone crying in her room until Celestia came by knocking on the door.

"Luna may I come in?" Celestia said as was knocking on the door. Luna silently kept crying. "It's time to raise the moon and well i am still learning how to rise the sun so i can't do this alone and the unicorn guards can't so I need you."Celestia continued. Still Luna did not reply. " Luna I am just as upset as you but still we still have a responsibly and and..." Celestia was interrupted by the sound of Luna's cries.

"Come in" Luna said as soft as butterflies. Celestia went in and went to comfort her sister by stroking her short pale blue hair. Celestia started to see how hurt her sister was not from the day's events but how she took the loss.

"Luna? I...I'm sorry. if I had know it was them at the time this would have never happened and ....." Celestia said as her eyes teared up until Luna interrupted her.

"Please sister I...I...." Luna started to say before she broke in to more tears.

"No tears please, I am sorry that we were to late to save her but you know we did what we could and that monster is gone now". Luna just turned away from her. "But Luna I must say that what you did to try and save her shows you cared for the queen." Celestia said as continued she comfort her sister.

"Please I wish to be alone now." Luna said.

"Please Luna I know she was your best friend in the world and well I.." Celestia said before Luna interrupted her.

"She was more of a sister than youwere!" Luna said. Luna realized that what she had said was very personal and hurting towards her sister. "Oh I...I.. I'm so so so sorry Tia I was just angry and..and.." Luna kept ranting until her sister said something.

"I understand Luna she was more of a sister to you than I was when i wasn't here she comfort you and well she was the only one who did not think of you as a monster but a beautiful alicorn princess." Celestia continued to say. " I must lower the sun please come to the balcony when you are ready i think the kingdom will understand why the moon is not up yet it has been a  hard day." Celestia said as she left. until Luna stopped her in her tracks when she spoke again.

"Thank you for comforting me sis." Luna said as she dried her tears.

"No problem now will you do your job as the alicorn princess you are?" Celestia said.

"Yes but give me a minute please." Luna said.

"Of course." Celestia said.

"Sapphire where ever you are now just remember I will always be your sister." Luna said as soft as she can as she watched Celestia lowered the Sun to make a beautiful sunset.
