A lavender alicorn was scribbling on a blackboard with chalk. ‘The End! Well, it is because there are pages missing from the book here.’ She said as she placed the book down on her desk. ‘Now- Yes Midnight Moon?’
A midnight black bat pony held her hoof up in the air waiting to ask a question. ‘Oh, um, Miss Twilight. Is that the end of the story? Is there nothing else? Cause I wanted to know what happened to that Amber pony.’ Twilight shook her head ‘Sadly no. The last few pages look like they were crudely ripped from the binding.’ The classroom was filled with groans but shortly cut from the school bell tolling.
‘Now, Class. I want you all to write a four hundred-page essay, don’t be wary, you will have a couple of years to do it. We will also commence your summer breaks for the breakdown of the story.’

The class groaned louder from the immense homework that the Princess of Friendship tasked them with. But before Twilight could interject a calmer voice took residence in the room ‘There will be no such essay, my little ponies. Twilight here is quite eccentric when it comes to academic study. Now go have fun, it’s your summer break after all.’ The foals began to cheer as they ran out of the class. They passed Princess Celestia like bottle rockets. All she could see was an amalgamation of colours that flew passed her. Celestia chuckled to herself as she watched them run by. Twilight was fussing with her hooves as she awaited Celestia to scold her, but there was nothing but calm gentleness from her mentor. ‘Princess Twilight Sparkle, I see that you have managed to find my secret portion of the library.’ Twilight nodded ‘I did Princess Celestia. I saw that the stone door was a jar, so I helped myself in. It was quite immense in scale. Say, why don’t we ever show those books to the foals here?’

‘Please come, walk with me.’ Celestia invited Twilight. She nodded and met up with Celestia at the classroom entrance. Celestia used her horn to bring the journal over to her from Twilight's desk. ‘You see Twilight. There is a reason for the secrecy. See this book, you may think it is a work of fiction, but it is quite real.’ Twilight gasped softly ‘Does that mean, you really are descendants?’
Celestia nodded ‘Quite, in fact, I wish to show you something. I think you are going to love it. And before you ask, the last few pages were indeed ripped from the book. I did it. I took those pages and placed them over the fire in my fireplace. That kind of information was quite dangerous, especially if it were to fall in the wrong hooves.’ They continued to follow the main path in the school, toward the fountain at the center of the campus.

‘Princess, I have so many more questions. For one, did Amber ever get free from his prison?’ Twilight asked as she sat next to her mentor. ‘Wait twilight. You will get your answer shortly… It’s ok, you can come out of the shadows.’ Celestia cooed. Twilight looked at her mentor with confusion but Celestia slowly moved Twilight's cheek towards the fountain…
A lavender unicorn and an Amber unicorn began to slowly make themselves known to the two Princesses. ‘They are real!?’ Twilight exclaimed. Her outburst caused Amber to cower behind Berath. ‘Oh, I didn’t mean to scare you. I am sorry.’ Twilight lowered her voice.

‘It is quite all right. I am glad to see, yet another is able to see both Amber and I’ Berath bowed to Twilight. ‘This is Amber Zepher. He is quite a durable soul, yet he is quite kind of heart.’ Amber slowly and cautiously waved toward Twilight. ‘It’s, it’s nice to meet you… May I ask your name?’ Twilight smiled ‘I am Princess Twilight Sparkle. It is nice to meet you, Amber. I hope I didn't scare you too much.’ Amber shook his head as he began to trot closer to Twilight. ‘Berath, is she also an Alicorn you speak of?’ Berath nodded. ‘Wow, they look so, so graceful.’

Twilight looked at Berath with inquisitive eyes. ‘Ah, so you read Amber’s journal? How did you find it?’ He sat with Amber on the tiled floor. ‘Yes, I did. If I may ask. Um, What happened in the last few pages?’ Berath and Amber looked at each other and then toward Celestia. Celestia nodded ‘Well, Do you have the time for us to tell you, Princess?’ Twilight nodded. ‘Very well then. After I bested Gilldahara and found my long-lost son Azure Night. I traveled back to the realm of tartarous. I had one last trial left. It was to save Amber’s soul from his tormentation. The sight I saw. Well, it will never leave my mind…
I did indeed cut his soul free from the hooks that feted him to the lair of my dishonored brother, Sorthath. Amber’s soul was free, and I had gained my dear friend back. Without Amber, Summer Dream, and Princess Luna. I would not be here this day, conversing with you. I owe all of my merits to these ponies who have pushed me through the darkest night and helped me find the morrow's brightest dawn.’

Twilight gasped softly ‘Oh, my. You both have gone through quite the jiffy?’ Berath chuckled. ‘Yes, we have been tested, time and again. Yet we stand here this day taller than ever. It has taken quite a toll on Amber and I but we have managed to pull each other through thick and thin… It has been a long Thousand years since then. I have created and reigned the Crystal Empire for millennia. Even now, as I draw breath. The crystal ponies have been my greatest accomplishment. After all, it is the least I can do for the sins I have committed during my life as Gilldahara’s slave… I still miss the sky horses of old, they were quite the ally for me. I am extremely proud that they have come back to this world. Thank you ever so much for that.’ Berath bowed as he stood up ‘Please excuse me, I am being called forth to the celestial body of Panthiazma.’

Celestia and Twilight bowed back in kind. ‘Please come back. I wish to talk more with you’ Twilight smiled. Amber stood up next to Berath as they faded from the mortal realm.
