Autumn Wheat was just laying there on the cold, hard floor. She could hear the sounds of chained crystal ponies and the armour of the guard as they moved around the street. She could hear the sounds of pickaxes hammering away in the crystal mines.
The cell they had thrown her in was mostly empty. The only thing that stood out was the white madras, but she didn't want to go near it after what he had done to her on it. The cell itself was a square shaped room with a barred window and a metal door with a little hatch for food. But she couldn't care less, the stalion she loved was gone and in his place was a husk of darkness and malevolence.
She still remember looking down at the frozen lake as he was pulled down under water, she should have realized that in the same second he was pulled under the water that he had all ready said goodbye. His sad but determined look and heavy hoof steps, the way he tightly hugged her like he didn't want to let go and the way he wrapped the red scarf around her neck. He knew he wasn't coming back and now he was dead.....
All that was once him was now the monster that became the ruler of the crystal empire and the crystal ponies was his slaves. She wondered why he had kept her, probably just to have a personal toy, he had already toyed with her. Thinking about it always sent a shiver down her spine. But deep down she hoped,even if it was false, that he was somewhere in there, still trying to fight against the darkness. A tear rolled down her cheek. Now the empire suffers under his iron hoof and she would have to endure his playtime until she gave birth to a foal. A foal he would have become his heir to the throne, something that he happily proclaimed every time he was done with her and left to put pressure on the crystal ponies.
She slowly got up on her hoves and walked to the cell door. She was thirsty, she hadn't noticed it before now but her throat was killing her and if she was lucky they would give her water, and if she was unlucky... well let's not think about that for now. She kept walk slowly towards the door until she could hear the guards breathing. She started to speak very slowly, her voice cracking after every sentence.

"P-please-e... wa-water-er", she said and going in to a coughing fit.

One of the guards, a unicorn, slowly turned to his cold eyes towards her, the black crystal armor had sharp edges and helmet was made of black and twisted crystal with a small green glow to it. His eyes were a dark yellow and where the eyes should be white they were glowing green.

"Please..., water", she said more desperately this time.

A few months ago the guards would have helped anypony, now however after his mind control spell was the guards just as much slaves as any other crystal pony. The unicorn guard responded to her pleadings with a shock spell. She screamed in pain as the electricity passed trough her body making her fall twitching down on the floor. She couldn't hold back the tears anymore, she sobbed herself to a dreamless sleep.

one day later

Autumn had almost never been more happy than the moment she heard the sound of the little, almost invisible, hatch on the bottom of the door opened and a plate with oats and salad with a large glas of water flouted in with a silver aura and landed in front of her. When you go three days witout food or water you get desperate. She picked the glas up first and poured the heavenly liquid down her troat. She then bagan to eat the food greedily and devoured everything. When she lifted up the plate to lick it from every grain she felt something on the back of the plate quickly flipping it over. It was a note, she blinked.

"How...", she started but was interupted by the servant that had brought her the food.

"Hurry up would you!", he said. "I am needed in the kitchen now!", he more or less shouted.

She quickly hid the note in her mane and pushed the plate and glass towards the hatch and watched as the silver aura coated the items again and they flouted out and closing the hatch behind them. She heard him walk away and made sure that the guards where not looking and opened the note.

"Whoever that wrote this did in haste", autumn thought and tried to decifer it's meaning. After intense looking that would had left a cucitrice wery she managed to read it.

"Dear Autumn Wheat," it began. "during a visit to the crystal empire three months ago I saw what were happening and set out to get help of the rulers of equestria, and now after a few weeks of reacon I can say we are ready to launch an attack on the empire. When you get this note the infiltration unit should had penetrated the walls and be on their way. They shouldn't take more than one hour, one and a half at most. I understand if you got questions and they will all be answered in due time, sincerely a friend."

Autumn was stunned, a rescue unit to save her! But could she trust them?, what if it was all a ruse? To give her hope and then crunch it... She decided to go for it, if it was a chance to get out of here, she would take it. So she waited, and waited, and waited...

three hours later

she had waited for a long while, no one was coming... She was doomed to rot in this cell, being his plaything forever. She started to sob when she suddenly heard two thumps outside from the door. She looked up to see somepony opening the door. She couldn't belive her eyes, the damn door was open. She slowly limped forward to the now open door and looked out from her cell for the first time in three months. On the floor was unconscious body's of two crystal guards and behind them stood three male zebras, one with a scowl on his face that seemed to be on the lookout for other guards, one that were now checking the guards for stuff and finally the last one was smiling and holding out a hoof for her to shake.

"I am Ziccra", he said and his smile got bigger and he stretched his frontleg more forward.

She was about to shake his hoof but nausea and dizziness hit her hard and she stumbled in a embrace from Ziccra and past out.
When she awoke she saw a great light that was rainbow colour hit the front side of the castle and a scream of rage and agony could be heard over the tundra. Autumn realized that she was out on the frozen tundra, but she could barely process that thought a large rift opens in the tundra and a shadow version of him was trowed down in the abyss. But just before ha could not be seen anymore his eyes and horned gloved and a burning tornado of purple flames was created around the empire. When it faded the empire was gone, but she could only think on one thing.

"He's gone...", she though.

If there was any light left in him it was gone now, her beloved was truly gone. A tear fell from her eye and she only knew darkness.
