In the Canterlot Castle a few days later Princess Celestia and Princess Luna had called Twilight and her friends for an important assignment to them. They had just explained to them about the Crystal Empire and how it recently had awakened, "We would have made plans to help the citizens of the Crystal Empire recover as well as stop King Sombra from returning but it seemed that it had already been taken care of. We sent Shining Armor and Princess Cadence there to investigate; they said they would be happy to have an audience with the one who had appeared to stop King Sombra when the Empire was reawakened who they had then crowned their new king." Princess Celestia told them and then used her magic to show a vision of Harry to the awe of Twilight and her friends.

"Shining Armor and Princess Cadence sent back visions of the appearance of King Harry as he is called, the appearance taken from portraits the citizens have made in celebration." Princess Celestia explained further.

The six ponies were amazed by this as it seemed this King Harry was their age or just a little younger, Rarity was herself dreaming of perhaps King Harry could be the prince charming in her fantasy which used to be taken by Prince Blueblood. "Princess Celestia, Who is this Alicorn king?" Twilight asked looking excited at the thought of all the knowledge she can get by asking questions to this young King.

"That's the thing my faithful student, I haven't the slightest clue who King Harry is or where he came from." Princess Celestia told them her head going down to the gasps of the six ponies.

"It is most peculiar, as far as we know no other pony had become an Alicorn since Princess Cadence. We theorise that perhaps he might have been a young pony who somehow earned the transformation itself, we are also interested in how he had managed to defeat King Sombra while we could not do it ourselves without him banishing the Crystal Empire." Princess Luna told them and Twilight thought that this Alicorn King must be incredibly powerful.

"Shining Armor and Princess Cadence have set up an arrangement where you six can go visit the Empire, make friends with the new King and open borders with Equestria. Are you up for the task?" Princess Celestia asked and then looked happy as they all nodded vigorously.

"You can count on us Princess Celestia! I am always open to making new friends!" Twilight told her with a nod, she then began making preparations with her friends for this trip. She needed to do her best for this; despite the fact King Harry would be around their age he must be regal and powerful...

All the way in the Crystal Empire castle the reluctant King Harry resigned to the fact that since he didn't have the slightest clue how to get back to the Human world he would be stuck in this job. Apparently the citizens were self-reliant on managing to get back to their old lives on their own so for the moment all he had to do was smile and listen to advisors on his throne.

Right now he was lying on the library listening to a Crystal Bard read to him a book on some ancient warrior called Rockhoof, the creature had apparently been a slave to King Sombra having him read out loud and treating him like how the Malfoys may have treated Dobby before he escaped. He found him and told him that King Sombra was gone and he was welcome to be a guest at the Castle but was willing to read to him the books in the library (thankful he had a nicer kinder king) which especially helped as Harry could not understand any letter or language in the books.

There was a princess and her husband staying at the Castle who arranged for a meeting between representatives of their kingdom (they said apparently the Empire had been gone for a thousand years). The couple were puzzled at the sight of Harry wandering how this could be the saviour and new king of the Empire.

A short interlude chapter and I will try and make the next one longer; also the Crystal Bard is from the 4th issue of the Friends Forever comic series. One more thing, I am excited for the MLP movie this year but since we now have a movie on the franchise why not have a big console video game? Like a Stick of Truth inspired RPG or an action game where all the Mane Six are playable?
