My Little Pony: Frost Falls

Looking at the big picture, Sembula's plan for this comeback is simple.

First, win over Equestria's former enemies, Queen Chrysalis and Tirek, and have them create chaos throughout Equestria to disrupt the princesses' attention.

Second, since he had just awakened, he knew that his strength needed to be replenished - was there a better choice than those places of long-lasting darkness?

The third, and most important point of the entire plan - how to sneak into the empire without Crystal Heart noticing?

The first step of the plan went very smoothly. The princesses were really confused and had no energy to pay attention to what happened afterwards.

Since the day he was born, Senbula has lived to lift the seal on his tribe.

He must, and must, find out the secret of the Crystal Empire.

So he used magic to summon black fog, and the entire empire was shrouded in darkness and despair. The ponies were so frightened that they could not control what they wanted to say.

In order to truly defeat the Crystal Empire, in addition to balancing the three Crystal Princesses, all Crystal Ponies need to lose their ability to resist. It would be best to cut off the connection between Crystal Heart and the Crystal Princesses, so that the Crystal Empire is completely isolated and helpless, unable to protect itself, and unable to ask for help.

This was Sembula's plan.

……

"I've been feeling uneasy these past few days, Katie, will you accompany me to see the Crystal Heart?"

"No problem. I've been having nightmares a lot these past few days, so I'd like to go and get some peace of mind. Let's go!"

Similar conversations take place in the streets of the empire. For the Crystal Ponies, the Crystal Heart is their source of power, and the Crystal Princess is all their faith.

The empire is now stronger than ever before, and they all think that they will live happily forever.

I really don't have the heart to break this beautiful dream - but unfortunately, the nightmare will eventually come.

Sombra sneered as she glanced at the two pony sisters who had just been talking.

That's right, he had successfully sneaked into the Crystal Empire. Given his familiarity with the place, this was not a difficult task.

Pulling his dark cloak closer to his body, trying not to reveal his face, Sombra hurried all the way to the center of the empire. In case he was discovered, he cast an ignore spell on himself.

The closer he got to the towering castle, the more Sombra's special senses felt a familiar scent, as well as a sense of disgust that followed.

The breath of those guys almost merged with the breath of that place, carrying the same disgusting feeling of dampness and decay.

Sombra took a deep breath, tried to ignore those feelings, and walked forward.

Outside the exhibition hall, there were already layers of crystal ponies surrounding it. They all looked at the crystal heart in the center with reverence.

It seems that just by watching, one can gain great courage.

ridiculous.

He did not get any closer. The power of the crystal love was incompatible with his own. Even if he could use magic power to resist it, it would be better to reduce the consumption as much as possible.

I don't know how long I have to stay here to find out those crucial secrets, so I'd better save some magic power...

The ponies around suddenly cried out in surprise, pulling Sombra out of his daze, and he subconsciously looked up.

Above the castle, two Alicorns, one white and one pink, flew side by side into the sky and soon arrived above the barrier.

The magic power of the two Alicorns surged at the same time, and the powerful magic power instantly flowed along the edge of the barrier, and soon covered the outer layer of the barrier like an isolation layer.

"Do the two princesses want to dispel the black fog?" A pony next to her murmured softly, expressing the thoughts of most of the ponies present.

Oh, except for Sembula.

He was looking up high, staring intently at the two Alicorns in the sky, to be exact, the snow-white one.

Sombra was completely unaware that she was staring at the snow-white Alicorn.

Perhaps the gaze was too intense, Frost suddenly lowered his head to look, and a second before the eye contact, Sembula reacted quickly and hid himself among the herd of horses.

After looking around for a while, he still couldn't find the owner of that gaze.

This made Shuangjiang wonder, could it be that I was wrong? She didn't think much about it, and she and Princess Yinyun tried their best to disperse the black fog dozens of miles away.

The sun was shining again, and all the ponies were visibly cheered up.

Frost's mission was completed, and he happily returned to the castle with Princess Urgent to discuss the next steps.

Dispersing the black fog is only the first step. How to eliminate it is the real headache for Pony!

……

Sombra walked aimlessly down the street, and nopony noticed him.

He couldn't accept it. He was stunned by what he saw just now.

why?

There was no way he had any feelings for her, they had never gotten along at all!

Yes... yes, that's right! It must be Sombra. It's Sombra's residual emotions that have affected me!

It's just a temporary thing... It's just a temporary thing...

He comforted himself and unknowingly walked to a tall building with two crystal griffins standing at the door.

It's a library.

Senbula turned to leave when a shout suddenly came from behind:

"Hey, that boy!"

Senbula turned around and pointed at herself with a puzzled look on her face: "You, are you calling me?"

"Yes, it's you, young man. Seeing you walking down the street with a sad face, why don't you come in and sit down and have a sip of hot tea - there is nothing that can't be solved by a sip of hot tea."

The old but still spirited librarian with silver hair beckoned Sombra over. Not wanting to attract the attention of other ponies, he obediently went over.

The sound of running water stopped abruptly just before the cup was filled. Then the cup of steaming tea was pushed in front of Sembula.

There were a few round bubbles floating on the light red tea soup. A slight shake quickly broke them apart and melted into the teacup.

He hesitated for a while, but finally took a small sip under the expectant gaze of the old lady opposite him - don't think about any more.

"How's it going, young man? Are you feeling better?"

Senbula nodded reluctantly, and before the old lady could ask why she was sad, she calmly changed the subject: "This place looks much bigger than what I've seen before, and there are many more books."

"Of course." The old lady's eyes moved to the bookshelf beside her, and her eyes were almost glued to it like a treasure: "These are all treasures left over by time. There are all kinds of contents in them!"

"Are there any underground secrets about the Crystal Empire?"

"Underground? Secret?" The old lady looked at him suspiciously. Senbula looked back at him calmly, "I think I've heard of this before. Let me think about it..."

Fortunately, no suspicion arose.

Sombra had already secretly tried a spell that always wanted to tell the truth on the old pony opposite, and it now seemed to be working well.

"Ah, I remember now! Isn't that the sealing formation underground?"
