A long time ago in the coldest winter in a dreadful snowy blizzard night, a tall dark stallion in a black cloak standing in the dark forest, waiting for his dark friend.

"Uuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh, when is she coming my master. That old hag is taking so LONG?!" the little pegasus cried out so angrily to the dark stallion.

“The more I’m standing in this cold, the more I freeze to DEATH!”

"Calm yourself Cozy Glow, our friend is bringing us a new companion for our mission," the dark stallion said with calm voice.

“And why do we need an extra pony? Can we just get it ourselves and skip whoever we are finding?”

“If we get an extra pony Cozy, that pony will be both pawn and bait.” The dark stallion glared at Cozy into with a serious look. Cozy Glow crosses her front legs while flying back and forth.

"I hope Chrysalis find any foolish pony soon Master Sombra. This is getting BORING!" Cozy Glow sneered.

While listening to the whining pegasus, Sombra finally spotted his tall mare friend walking ten feet away in her velvet green cloak with holes on her legs. Chrysalis saw Sombra back while walking along with a blue unicorn pony with pale cornflower blue mane with very pale cerulean stripes. Chrysalis wave to Sombra back to give him the signal that nopony else is following them.

"Here she comes little one,” Cozy turn around as she saw Chrysalis and the blue unicorn.

"Finally!" Cozy was relief out of boredom. Sombra on the other hoof is waiting for them until they come to him face to face.

"You're late my friend," Sombra said with a disappointed look.

"Sorry my dear patience master, I just making sure we got everything ready." Chrysalis apologized as she vows down to him.

"You found what we need?" Sombra asked.

"It's hard to pick any foolish pony on the street, but I found this one who got the item we have been looking for,” whisper Chrysalis while pointing out a young blue unicorn.

"Hey old hag, when is the great and powerful Trixie is going to get the treasure you told me about?" the blue unicorn shouted.

Cozy Glow gave the blue unicorn a question looks and whisper to Chrysalis. "Hey Chrysalis, where did you pick this halfwit up? "

"In the lower place of the kingdom where stupid thieves live, " Chrysalis answered.

"I even got that stupid old junk you want." Trixie pulls out half of the piece of a crystal star with her magic.

Sombra reaches out for the crystal with his magic, but Trixie yanks it back.

"Hold on sir, my treasure, " said Trixie. Cozy flies by and grabs the crystal star from her grasp. “HEY what the?!”

"Trust me, my greedy young mare. You'll get your just reward very soon." Sombra smile with satisfied look as he uses his magic to pulls out the second half of the crystal star from his cloak. As Trixie, Cozy and Chrysalis watch Sombra connects the two pieces together with his magic, the crystal star begins to glow. Finally, it flies out of Sombra's magic, scaring Cozy and Trixie, and is off straight towards the snowy forest.

"Quickly follow the star!" Sombra commanded. All run off in the forest, following the glowing star that zoom fast as a shooting star.

"Faster you fool, we cannot lose sight to where it is leading us!", Sombra shouted.

The star still flies fast until it reaches a large icy boulder. The star plunge into the boulder. The star glowing blue as a light on the boulder. But then the boulder begins to rise high as a mountain.

"What in equestria is happening?!" Trixie scream as everypony felt an earthquake. All four of them fall to the ground as the mountain is transforming into a giant ursa major 's head, with two glowing rubies as the eyes. Once the mountain finish transforming, everypony stares at the mountain with impressed looks on the faces.

"Finally, I been searching that place for many moons," said Sombra. Looking at the mountain gave Sombra a delighted joy.

"What is this place?" Cozy asked.

"The Mountain of Glory, where it contains the most powerful magic and ultimate treasure in Equestria, " said the proud Sombra. Sombra could not help but smile at the place he been looking for, until Trixie rudely interrupted him.

"So, let me get this straight, we came all the way to find like what this stupid smoking pipe that you guys are desperate to get it in this this bear smell cold mouth," Trixie question Sombra with an unsatisfied appreciation. Sombra’s magic grabs Trixie’s cheeks and pulls her to Sombra, so he forces her look at him disappointed in his bloody eyes.

"Watch your tongue young mare,” Sombra scolded Trixie while squeezing her cheeks with his magic very firmly.

“We need you to find the guardian first in this mountain, once you find and finish talking to that guardian, she will lead you to the smoking pipe. Once she leads you to the pipe, bring me just the pipe, you can have the rest of the loot, but the smoking pipe is mine!" Sombra lets goes of Trixie as starts to approach the bear's mouth, which forms the entrance to the mountain first. Trixie chuckles with glee as she goes.

“Hmph, how dare he treats me like this? Stupid tall dark handsome stallion!” Trixie mentally thought in anger while blushing with embarrassment. “At least I’ll get these gems and bits in this mountain. I can finally be rich and well respect by those poor loser ponies who rejected me,” Trixie thought to herself.

“And once I get that stupid item the care so much, I will just trick these fools for hiring the Great and powerful Trixie.”

When Trixie slowly reaches the entrance of the mountain, she was blown away by a wind coming from the mountain. When Trixie was on the snowy ground, a zebra appears from the mountain in her red velvet cloak. The zebra trotted forward to see who the unwanted intruder in the mountain.

"Who dares comes and enter will all the nerve, are you here to try and take what you think you deserve, " command the zebra.

"It is I, the Great and powerful Trixie who have come to your mountain.” Trixie bow down with her ego and pride.

The zebra stares down at Trixie with an unpleasant look, she gave the ignorant blue mare an advice

"Heed my warnings young foolish mare. There is something you have to be aware.”

“The pony who will enter this dreadful and dangerous place. The pony must have bravery, love and grace.”

“The wrong pony who will not take my advice, the pony will shall pay the price.”

Cozy and Chrysalis look at each other curiously to think what the zebra means.

“To find what you are looking for in the dark, is the pony shine like garnet with a hidden spark. "

Trixie move forward again to not show fear and no looking back.

Trixie hesitates, then moves one hoof inside the cave. With great apprehension, she put her hoof down. Nothing happens. Relieved, she begins her walk again. Then another wind comes from the zebra magic. Trixie cowardly turns back, but the bear's mouth slams and shut.

“That fool, “cried out Chrysalis.

The mountain collapses back to a boulder again. All that are left are Sombra, Cozy, Chrysalis, and the two separated halves of the crystal stars.

“To find the treasure in the dark, seek out the garnet with a hidden spark, "echo the zebra while everything turns back to the normal snowy place.

Cozy unburied herself from the snow, coughing out all the snow as she does so.

"Seriously, we are so close to get that place, how are going to get that stupid pipe?!" Cozy holler once again as she picks up the leftover crystal on the snow ground.

“And look at my little hooves and legs, I am getting frostbite in the middle of the cold.” Cozy Glow heads straight to her master to give the remaining.

"Easy Cozy Glow. That guardian seems to see Trixie has a big ego and unworthy. "

"I Guess that explain why she is not the chosen one." Chrysalis smirked and kind of relief that Trixie will not brag again. On the other hand, hearing Cozy cussing now is starting to irritate poor Chrysalis.

Cozy start whining again with an extremely sarcastic tone. "Oh golly, this is going to be great, how are we going to get that STUPID magical pipe, and this is going to give me a... mph" Sombra silence Cozy with his magic for a minute.

“So, what is the plan now my master? Since that egotistic mare has failed us to get the pipe, what are we going to do now?” questioned Chrysalis. Looking at her master, Sombra answer her back.

" Now, we must find the one who can enter that mountain?"

"So, we are on this scavenger hunt again my master?" Cozy ask Sombra to hear his answer

"Yes, I believe we have a new mission again ladies,” Sombra answered back again while rubbing his chin with his front hoof.

“So, for now we are going search for this, garnet with the hidden spark."

After he said these last words, Sombra leads his minions to go to visit their neighboring kingdom called the “Crystal Empire”.
