Once Princess Luna had everything that she needed. Princess Luna then left the Castle and made her way to the Crystal Empire.

Once there Luna notice how different the Crystal Empire looked. It was more beautiful than it ever was before, the Crystal towers were shinier then they ever were, they shined like stars. And the Crystal Ponies were much nicer now, then they were before. It was as if the whole place had change for the better.

A group of Crystal Guards covered in cloaks walked toward the Princess Luna as she arrived,

“Princess Luna, our new King will glad to see that you excepted the invitation,”

“Look, I just here to find who the new King is, okay,”

“But you must attend the Great Ball, we are having tonight in his Honor,”

“He would be very disappointed if you did not attend,”

“Well we wouldn't want that, I will attend but I will need a place the change into a proper dress,”

“You can use the royal dressing room,”

That Night she attend the Great Ball that being held in The Royal Castle. She wore a beautiful black and purple dress, as well she was wearing the ring that Rex gave her. The Ballroom look gorgeous, the walls were cover in beautiful Art, all done by her favorite artists, the table was covered with all favorite food, and wine, the ponies dancing beautifully, the dance style look familiar, but she could not place where she had seen it before.

Luna went over and grabbed some food and wine, and then she sat down to eat. Just then a trumpet sounded, as the new King of Crystal Empire step into the Ballroom, Princess Luna look see him. He was a tall unicorn about same height as Princess Luna, he had a black mane that floated like fire, a dark gray coat, and he was wearing a red cloak, and he was also wearing armor like he was always ready for battle. His crown had a blade like design to it, and his horn was blood red.

He walked through the Ballroom all the ponies began to bow to him, as made his way to Princess Luna,

“Princess Luna would do me the great honor of having a dance with the most Beautiful Princess in land,”

“Why, King you flatter me,”

“Is that a yes or a no?”

“Fine then, one dance, that it, and don’t try anything”

“It is okay I wouldn’t dare harm you,”

So they began their dance, and it was an incredible dance. In fact the most fun she had dancing since Rex was alive. They danced for a whole hour. Then Luna finally sat back down, as the King walk over to the balcony.

Then Luna decide to go, but she felt like that she should at least nice enough to say goodbye to him, so she headed to the balcony. As she walked out to the balcony, she notice the Moon was covered in some clouds. Luna saw him looking down at long chain hanging from the balcony, but she could not see the bottom of the chain. As she walked closer she didn’t the cloud clearing as Moon shine hitting his face revealed how his face shine like Crystal,
