In an alternate future of cold and ice, the only remaining bastion of Harmony is the Crystal Empire.

Equestria has been gone a long time, and Luster Dawn has never known a world where the magic of harmony and friendship was abundant. Outside the Crystal Heart's protection, there is only snowy wasteland that stretches on for eternity.

Princess Twilight Sparkle has decided it's high time Luster Dawn see the world beyond the Empire's borders, and it just so happens that Flurry Heart wants to come along.

This was written as part of a live write right after the finale aired. Every chapter of this story will probably be written like this, so watch out for me going live with writing!

EDIT: canceled, simply because the livewrite method of writing was unsustainable.
