Chapter 2-Past and Present-Shining ArmorPast: Once apon a time, there was a young colt who had gained a sister. Normally, siblings fight. Some fight a lot, but this colt never had a fight with his sister. They did everything together. They flew kites together, shared their dreams together. That colt's name was Shining Armor. He loved his sister and his sister loved him. That was, until 17 years ago, when his sister was killed by one of Sombra's followers. The Crystal War had began years earlier, Princess Celestia had told all of Equestria. She told the story of the Crystal Empire and its 1,000 year disappearance. She told us that the Crystal Empire was not supposed to return for another 17 years, but now there was nothing they could do except fight to regain control of the Empire through force. That little colt was 9 years old. His sister was six. Current Day: "Stand Hut!" About fifty cadets shut up and form lines almost immediately. Even though they are standing completely motionless, I can literally feel their fear. I smile at this. It means that they are paying attention. As Captain of the Royal Guard, I have to train the cadets for an hour every week. Its in this hour that I can observe them to see who will be a good member of the guard. "Welcome cadets!" I shout. " Canterlot's Royal Guard is a strong, powerful guard, one of the best. If you want to be a member, you will have to work hard and show your dedication. Not everyone is cut out for this, and some ponies WILL dismissed. Any questions?" I waited a second. Nobody moved. I nodded, surveying the crowd. My eyes landed on a bright colored pegasus. He was shorter than the rest, his coat was yellow and his mane was blue. His eyes were light green. He seemed a little off though. I decided to look into it later, since my time was almost up. "Alright, find your instructors!" I shout again. "Next week the real work begins!" I leave the training area, walk through the archway and into the castle. I have a hearing with the Princess in 20 minutes about Equestria's next move against the Empire. I go to my study and grab a single scroll. It contains a play that I spend hours working on, hoping that it would push the Crystal Empire back. As I grab the scroll, my eyes land on a photo of Twilight. I shake my head and hurry out of the room, not wanting to remember anything about that fateful day. Chapter 1-The End in What I Knew-TwilightMy friends. My family. My home. All of that was taken from me by a pony named Starlight Glimmer. I hope that she is very happy now, because her desire for revenge has cost me and Spike our lives. We are always on the run, because we don’t belong here. The moment that Starlight ripped the scroll in two, I felt something inside me shatter. The map pulled me and Spike to what would be the present, a war. Two nations that I love with all of my heart against each other in a war that has been going on for years. My friends aren’t friends. They each went their separate ways in the war. Applejack provides food for the soldiers, Rariy makes the soldiers their armor, and Fluttershy takes care of the sheep that provide wool for the clothes. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie? They are both serving the war. From what I heard, Rainbow lost a wing and Pinkie never smiles. Ever. It broke my heart to hear all of this, my best friends, not friends, just partners, working together to help out in the war. The worst part is that they don’t have their cutie marks. No rainboom, no cutie marks for us. Me included. Well my doppelgänger technically. She died. When I heard about this, I realized just how much things had gotten worse for us. I wouldn't be able to go out in public. Somepony could recognize me. Then I would be forced to explain where I came from and they would call me crazy. When I realized this, I grabbed Spike and ran. I ran into the Everfree forest. I tried to find Zecora's cottage, but instead found a dead, hollow, abandoned tree house, with nothing inside. I sigh and continue to the only other place I can think of: The Castle of the Two Sisters. Prologue-Part 4-Radient StarWhat would you do if your dream was put on hold because you weren’t allowed? What is you disguised yourself, lied to your idol, friends, and family, just to see your dream become a reality? What would you do if overnight your world, your life, and your home, was turned upside down? What if everything you thought you knew was gone? My name is Radient Star... And this is my story.
