The air in the Crystal Empire plunges into a sudden, biting freeze, all warmth leaching away as the shadows themselves thicken and coalesce. From the gloom strides King Sombra, a stallion of darkness and sharp, crystalline edges, his jagged mane catching no light, his eyes glowing with predatory emerald fire. Amid the chaos of the shattered Heart and the panicked royals—Celestia, Luna, you, and their allies—he stands utterly still, a statue of cold intent. The surrounding darkness bends toward him, a silent army ready to reclaim the empire he views as his rightful throne.
