The next day, after about 8 hours of sleep, he met Twilight at the library, where they had breakfast.

After they had breakfast, Twilight led him to a storage room where she kept the crystal mirror while carrying a saddlebag that held the journal through which she could communicate with Sunset Shimer.

Upon reaching the storeroom, Twilight performed a series of powerful spells to unlock the spell needed to seal the storeroom.

They then entered the door, and when Sombra saw the Crystal Mirror, her jaw dropped.

The Crystal Mirror looks like an ordinary mirror, but its purple rim is shaped like a horseshoe, with a face set with pink gemstones.

The base of the mirror is also decorated with horseshoes, and at the top of the mirror is a small horseshoe-shaped window with a pony in the shape of a horseshoe.

This is surrounded in a semi-circle by a wooden and metal mechanism, the top of which extends beyond the top of the crystal mirror, which does not look as if it were an integral part of the crystal mirror, but as if it had been built in as an afterthought.

"Wow, this mirror looks amazing!" said Sombra, amazed after seeing the mirror and the equipment around it, "but what is the machinery that surrounds the mirror for?" he asked curiously, "Because it looks to me like it was added afterwards."

"You're right, because I added it afterwards...," Twilight begins to explain, "Its purpose is to allow us to use my diary to go through the gate or return to this world at any time, because without it the gate only works for 3 days, then it stays closed for 30 months!"

"All I can say to that is that you are a genius!" he praised Twilight's knowledge, to which Twilight replied with a thank you and a flushed face, and then continued his speech, "But I have a question! Can I use my magic to examine the crystal mirror?" asked Sombra, turning her head to the crystal mirror, "I wonder what kind of crystal it is!

Twilight's answer was a nod.

Seeing Sombra Twilight's nod, he took a few steps towards the mirror as his horn began to glow a dark purple color, and when he closed his eyes and then opened them again, they glowed a bright ethereal green color while a dark purple aura emanated from it.

Then the mirror also began to glow dark purple for a few moments, and when it stopped glowing, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes returned to normal

"Well, what kind of crystal is it made of?" asked Twilight inquiringly.

"Just like with the crystal heart, I can't tell!" replied Sombra, "But why can't I find out what crystals make up the original crystal heart or the crystal mirror?" asked Sombra, puzzled.

"Possibly because your power has a limit..." suggested Twilight, "At least my brother thinks that might be the answer."

"Now that I think about it, Shining is probably right," Sombra agreed with that theory, "but I still find that weird!

By the way, when can I leave?" asked Sombra inquiringly.

"Actually, you're almost ready to go, I just need to activate the gate first," Twilight replied, and then took the log book from her saddlebag, and began to wave her magic at the connection point above the crystal mirror, and when the diary reached the connection point, then, after less than 1 second, the diary began to glow a pale, light greyish orchid color, and then a similar colored bolt of energy radiated through the cables on the machinery as it passed through several of the smaller machines connected to the machinery.

Some parts of these smaller machines also began to glow in a similar colour, and eventually this energy bolt reached the smaller machines on either side of the mirror, directly connected to the large machine, which resembled a Tesla coil, and then each of these fired a beam of energy, which crossed over and in front of the crystal mirror in a non-regular path, then merged into a wormhole of similar colour, which in less than a second transformed into an arrow of similar colour, which quickly slammed into the surface of the crystal mirror.

When this energy arrow reached the surface of the crystal mirror, a large, blinding light show began, which stopped after a few seconds.

When they glanced at the surface of the crystal mirror, they saw that a pale, light greyish orchid-coloured swirl had formed on the normally flat surface of the mirror.

Sombra watched the activation of the mirror in amazement, and when the big light show occurred, he closed his eyes, and when he opened them and saw the activated mirror, he was amazed.

"Wow, that's just amazing!" said Sombra, amazed, "by the way, does it always look like that when it's activated?"

"Until I built this machine for it," Twilight explained, pointing to the machine with her right forehoof, "there wasn't much change."

"I see, and thank you for your reply," Sombra thanked Twilight as she began to walk towards the crystal mirror, "-

By the way, is there any special information about going through the portal... I mean, do I have to recite a spell, or do I just have to walk through the portal?

"Actually, all you have to do is walk through it...," Twilight replied, and then she remembered something, "but I have a request for you... Could you take off your royal clothes, because the people on the other side aren't used to seeing kings in everyday life...

Simply put, you'd better keep a low profile!"

"You know this world better, so I'll take your advice!" agreed Twilight's advice to Sombra, and after Twilight summoned a clothes locker that Rarity had left here at the castle, Sombra then hung up her royal attire, but, after he got to the part where he took off his band, he asked Twilight, a little uneasily, "Do I have to take off my band too?"

"If you don't want to, you don't have to, because it wouldn't cause any meaningful attention!" replied Twilight reassuringly to Sombra.

"Okay, I'll keep the band!" said Sombra happily, looking happy to keep the band, as he treasured the veins.

As they had already agreed that only Sombra would cross the gate, as there was one thing Twilight had to do and he didn't need it anyway to get used to his new body, as her friends, especially Sunset, would help him, they said goodbye and Twilight wished Sombra good luck.

"Deep breath!" said Sombra to herself as he took a deep breath, -it's time to explore a new world where no shadow thing is trying to kill me!" he finished his speech firmly and walked into the dust to explore a world he didn't know
