After vanishing from a curse for more than 1000 years, little is known about the Crystal Empire and its inhabitants. Especially the final years of King Sombra's rule remain shrouded by mystery. Even to the crystal ponies themselves as their memories remain effected by the tyrant King's dark magic.

Now the Crystal Empire has returned and King Sombra has been defeated, but the aftermaths of his cruelty still linger within his former subjects.

One crystal pony begins travelling through Equestria to learn about her past and finds friends along the way. Will revealing her past help her understand more of herself and find a place in this new future?

During her visit to the Crystal Empire, Crystal Note not only revealed herself to the other crystal ponies but also faced the judgment of the crystal heart itself. While this helped unlock her burried memories, it also left her more in doubt of her true identy than ever.
When she returns to Ponyville to recover from what happened at the Crystal Empire, she is offered help from an unexpected source.

A lot of thanks to EchoWing and Peppermint frost for prereading and helping.
