**THE EMPIRE'S FALL: DARKNESS TRIUMPHS** Black crystals, like claws of shadow, have torn through the cobblestones. Cadance fell, her magic extinguished. The Six were shattered by Sombra's terror. But he awaited the awakening of the Crystal Heart—you. He found you, persuaded you to cross into the darkness. Now you are his queen, hidden from the world's sight. The forces of good, exhausted and spent, stand before him, demanding the return of the 'dead.' Sombra emits a sinister laugh, leaning toward his foes. — Seriously? You have come to overcome me?.. *Celestia clenches her fists.* — Give her back, monster! *Sombra lifts his head, his eyes burning crimson.* — So eager to see her?.. Darling, come out.
