Celestia, Snowdrop, and the children arrive at the Crystal Empire, once there, they were greeted by Princess Luna,

“Mom, we heard you met the new King, so what he like,” Twlilly ask

“Well Twililly, you all going to meet him right now for Dinner, his name King Sombra, or at least that’s what crystal ponies call him,”

As they walked toward, Celestia ask her sister, “Luna what going on here, a new King, I thought Blood Diamond would be the new King, I mean heard how Emerald Teal was overthrow, but I thought his eldest son take over,”

“No sister, Blood Diamond went missing when Emerald Teal was overthrow, and the ponies chose to elect a new king, but don’t worry, Sombra is a good King, I mean look how beautiful this place is now,”

“But, we don’t know this King,”

“But you and I do know him, his true name is—“

“Mom we are here,” Bold stated as they reach the Castle,

Once there, they walk inside, they went up to the reserved area of the Crystal Castle, in there they met King Sombra,

“Princess Celestia I hope your train ride was okay, Luna has told me about how she will soon be an aunt,”

“Luna why would you tell the new King such private news, I have not even told SunFire still, and you told the new King,”

“Oh calm down, Tia I had tell him all that he missed since he died,”

“Died, what do you mean?”

“Can I tell them please?” Luna asked Sombra

“Of course Luna she is your sister, just make sure that she does not sped info like wildfire,”

“Tia, the crystal ponies know him as Sombra, but his true name we both know as Rex Umbra,”

Princess Celestia jaw dropped as if it hit the ground, “How can he be Rex,”

“Walk with me Tia, and Snowdrop, I will explain what I can, and meanwhile I think Twililly and Bold have waited a long time to finally meet their Father,”

As soon as Twililly and Bold heard that, they instantly ran and tackle their Father, Rex was glad to finally meet his children, and they were glad to finally meet him. It was glorious day for everypony, they played, they had dinner, and they all talked about all Rex had missed.

As it got the end of the day, Princess Celestia stated, “Well this has been, unusual to say a the least, but we must get going,”

“Tia, me and Children are staying with Rex,”

“Luna you can’t be serious, you got duties to complete back at Canterlot,”

“Tia the truth is…… Me and Rex are getting married!” Luna yelled,

“Luna when did this happen,”

“Shortly after the War with Blood Diamond, Rex proposed to me, we are to wed on the third week of this month,”

“That the week of the Winter Moon Ceremony,”

“Yes, I know won’t it be glorious,” Rex stated,

Then Snowdrop said “If what you truly want then we will help in any way we can, right Princess Celestia,”

“Right?” Princess Celestia said,

Throughout the two weeks until the wedding, were spent on get it prepared, and finally it was ready. Two days before wedding, Luna woke up to raise the Moon for the night, she notice Rex gone again, “Where has he gone off to now,” Luna said as she to look for him. As she walk through the castle she heard swords clashing outside, so ran out to the Courtyard, then she saw Rex and Bold, training.

“That good son, keep it up, that it Bold,”

“Come on, Dad let see if I can beat you this time,”

“What is going on here?”

They stop training and noticed Luna was up,

“Luna, you’re up, I was just teach our son some new fighting styles,”

“Okay is Twililly up too,” Luna asked,

“Well yes mom, she at the Library again,” Bold stated,

“Well okay, you two be careful and I will go check on Twililly,”

“Okay, mom,”

Luna let them be went to go raise the Moon, and then check on her daughter, while Rex and his son, continued their little battle, not noticing that somepony else was watching. As their training finally ended, Rex the pointed his weapon at the Shadows and stated, “Okay I know you are watching now get out here,”

“Dad what is it,” Bold asked,

“Well I did not mean to interrupt the battle, my King,” Grogar stated as he walked out of the Shadows,

“I just wanted to see your son’s power, I see that he is quite powerful,”

“That can’t be the only reason you are here,”

“Yes very true, I have finally found the info you were looking for my King,”

“Bold I must leave you now to go deal with something, while I’m gone go I want to you to go try talking to Snowdrop again,”

“But dad, I can’t go talk to her, beside she three years older than me,” Bold said as he blushed,

“Son, I seen the way you look at her, you clearly care for her, and only way that you clear things up for you to talk to her, now I must go son,”

Rex knew his son Bold had a massive crush on Snowdrop, so he would bug his son often to go talk to her.

Later in the dungeon, King “Rex” Sombra walk over where Blood Diamond was still being beaten for info,

“Enough,” Sombra stated while he holding a file of papers,

Blood Diamond cough up some more blood, and said, “What do you want, are you here to finish me off, told you that I will not betray Redsting,”

“Yes I know that now but I also know why you left your father to die, these files that Grogar found hidden deep in the achieves, have shown a lot, about your hidden past you with Father…… and your Missing Mother,”

“No! You didn’t,”

“Oh yes I did find out, and know it strange that your mother, the Original Queen of the Crystal Empire, Queen Chrystal Laysalis, went missing shortly after the CalaVoss Wars ended over a millennium ago,”

“Many Alicorns died in that war, what of it,”

“What I am saying is her disappears wasn’t because of the war, she disappears from the records, happen the same time as Changelings were banished, that when it hit me, your father must have change her original name in records, so nopony would find out, that your mother true name was Chrysalis, Queen Chrysalis,”

“No!!” Blood Diamond yelled out,

“You know it make a lot sense now, why you have always beaten hybrids to near death and not killed, and why so loyal to Redsting, Because you fear that deep down in your blood, that you are just as much hybrid as I was,”

“So what with your father great fear of the Hybrids, what did he do when he realize that his wife was a Changeling, what did he take his fear fueled angered out on your mother or was it on you,”

“These old records also say that when you were young you were sent to the hospital quite often, with bloody wounds, so how many times did you father beat you,”

Blood Diamond hang his head in defeat, and said, “Till I was old enough to fight back,”

“That why you abandon your father die, because you hated him,”
