Excaelum has just recovered from the fire Orcusin put on him but, his scales were charred and lathered with soot. With time his scales would go back to a normal light gray color. Excaelum was still having trouble absorbing the fact that he had a brother and that he just tried to burn him to death. Olganna went to calm the lower-class dragons while Chronin was speaking to Excaelum.

"He said he was my brother."

"He is dangerous. What do you plan on doing?"

"My father said I can't do anything until we return to Fallen Star."

"Why did he attack you then?"

"He thinks he can change the prophecy. That's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. The prophecy is what the ones who created it foretold, not saw."

"I think it's impossible that he is stronger than you."

"He is the direct descendant of Dragaitas, so are you."

"He seemed to be older than me by a few centuries. His voice was striking and his eyes weren't complete, they were disrupted."

"You and your father's eyes are complete meaning your souls have good intentions. My eyes are complete also."

"Mesadraco's eyes were complete, explain that."

"He wasn't always like, one day he was calm and collective, he went missing for a few days and he kills Yaforn."

"Lord Yaforn was the first one to have an offspring wasn't she?"

"No, Dragaitas was the first. He was born many years before Measdraco. You were the last and the only second offspring of an original."

"What happened to the rest of the gravity dragons."

Chronin avoided to answer that question,"Gravity is the rarest and strongest force in nature, yet we go on our lives not knowing it's there. Star dragons harvested their power from the sun during the day and the stars during the night to master all the other forces except for gravity and time. Time is the weakest of the forces and uncommon. Yes we can control time but, it has it's limits. Against an opponent with the same or greater amount of strength our powers will have no effect on them. Gravity however, can overpower all the forces for the other forces depend on gravity to work, except for time. That doesn't matter though, Orcusin and you are well past the point of time control."

Up north of Canterlot near the Crystal Empire Garren and Lacoden were going to meet up with somepony. This pony lived on the outskirts of the Crystal Empire in a house. Garren approached the door and walked inside, Lacoden followed in.

"What do you want?" This pony was a unicorn. He had a dark gray coat,mane and tail. His eyes were red. His horn was also dark gray at the base and, faded into red toward the point.

"What a lovely home you have here."

"Who are you? How do you know my location?"

"I'm not important, what's important is the grand city you envy."

"I don't envy it, I just rob from it's shops and live my life."

"Don't lie to yourself, I've seen you scrutinizing every detail of the Crystal Empire. You want it's beauty to yourself with all who live there to be at your command."

"You make it sound as if I was obsessed with the city."

"I'm sorry did I say the Crystal Empire, I meant to say the Crystal Heart."

"I have no desire for that. I must ask you to leave or I'll have to force you out."

"One you are lying to me, the last time someone lied to me he lost his wife. Two, you threatened me and her."

This colt was smart and decided Garren was right. The unicorn's tone changed.

"Why do you want me to conquer it?"

"Me and my friend have a score to settle with the princesses. They left our nation to perish, we wish to see one of her nations fall."

"Why don't we just take Canterlot then?"

"Would you rather die or watch something you love be torn to pieces?"

"I would die."

"If we had the choice we would die as well but, we suffered through the second option."

"Do you mind if I ask where you come from?"

"Fallen Star. Are you with us? If not you will die watching the city that exiled you to the cold thrive and prosper."

"How do we begin?"

"Wise choice. Myself and my friend,Lacoden, will grant you enough power to do what you wish with that city for as long as you want. You do have to endure some amount of pain and I will have to teach you how to control your powers before you are able to use it properly."

"What's your name?"

"Garren. And yours?"

"I don't have one."

"You can make yourself a name once you succeeded in your path. Lacoden, time to empower him."

Garren took him outside, made the unicorn stand outside while he and Lacoden got into position. Lacoden was to the left of the unicorn and Garren on the right.They both took a deep breath and blasted the unicorn with black beams. The unicorn within the epicenter was yelling, the whites of his eyes turned green during the process. It ended and the unicorn was panting on the ground he got up slowly, he maintained his balance.

"How does it feel to have this much power?"

The voice of the unicorn deepened,"I need more."

"You can have more once you have the Crystal Heart to yourself."

"When do we start?" the unicorn asked, looking at Garren.

The sun was still out at the highest point in the sky this gave them enough to start their first session.

"Guard up!" Garren yelled.

The newly born unicorn wasn't prepared and was knocked to the ground by Lacoden. The unicorn got up and tried to attack her but, Garren attacked as well.

"Learn to fight by fighting." Lacoden said.

"Guard up!"

Garren gave him enough time to get his stance and charged with great force. The unicorn was pushed back a few feet but he was still standing.

"Now you can either attack me or her."

The unicorn charged toward Lacoden, he was aggressive, striking with his bare hooves didn't give him any sort of pain. Lacoden had difficulty keeping up with him, she was knocked down by him. He stopped and looked up to Garren.

"Don't give you enemy time to recover." said Garren.

He looked back down to strike Lacoden, she was gone. Lacoden tackled him on the ground and relentlessly pummeled him into the cold ground.

"Lacoden that's enough. Lesson 1: Never give your enemy time to recover." Garren walked over to the unicorn and pulled him up,"Lesson 2: Suspect an attack from your enemy if they do recover." Garren hit the unicorn in the face stunning him and he flew as hard as he could running the unicorn over and colliding with a side of a mountain. The unicorn's body took all of the force. The unicorn was laying on the ground and Garren scolded,"Lesson 3: Stun your enemy to deliver an effective blow."

Garren and Lacoden tortured the unicorn preparing him to gain control over the Crystal Empire for days until Garren had an interest in what his current disciple's talent was.

"I can conjure illusions real to the eyes and mind." he said.

"How do you plan on using that against your enemy?"

"Like this." the unicorn melted in front of Garren and the real one was behind him.

"Amusing. You need more than that to defend your prize."

"How so?"

"You can make a portal of some sort to create a nightmare most fearful to your enemies heart."

"Tell me."

"Concentrate, shut your eyes and listen to only my voice. Focus on your greatest fear."

The unicorn took a deep breath and did as he was told.

"Good. Make your fear become as real as I am."

The unicorn cringed a little.

"Use your fears, force it onto an inanimate object, your vessel."

The door started slamming violently on the house.

"Eliminate your fears. Put yourself in the skin of others, find their fear and embed it into the door. "

This step took a few weeks. The unicorn signaled he was done with a deep and long breath.

"Etch those fears you have discovered onto your vessel."

The invention was done. Garren ordered Lacoden to open the door, she did and something startling happened. She was still for a moment, then she went over to the nearest wall and started to bask her own head against the wall yelling,"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Garren saw that her head was starting to bleed and stopped her before she did any permanent damage to herself. He laid her down on the unicorn's bed.

"It works." the unicorn said.

"Perfectly. I think that process would've been a lot longer. How did you complete your vessel so quickly?"

"I went into Celestia's mind once I found her fear it was easier for me to find the fears of the ones weaker than her therefore making it faster. I didn't find your fear though along with a few others."

"That's because we're stronger than her. What did you do for the future fears of the ones that haven't even existed yet?"

"My vessel will evolve to find their fear on it's own."

"You are indeed talented."

"Thank you."

"Do you feel you are ready?"

The unicorn looked up with an evil smirk.

Garren said,"At midnight we attack."

It was only a few more hours until it was midnight. The night went from calm to flames and destroyed buildings everywhere. Within minutes the Crystal Heart was already in possession of the unicorn. He threatened that if the heart were to remain unharmed the residents had to do his every bidding . He broke their spirits so they could not give power to the heart.

"Slavery. That is your way of destroying a nation?" Garren asked.

"Yes it is. Is that wrong?"

"No, in fact I love it."

"I thank you for granting me your knowledge and your power, Master Garren. Now with the Crystal Heart in my control I can harness it's power."

"Have you come up with your own name yet?"

"No but, I gave myself the title of 'king'."

This king wore silver armor and a crown that was pointed, they resembled horns.

"I like it." exclaimed Garren.

Word got out to the frontier and Canterlot a month after the king took the Crystal Empire and the R.A.K. was to take action. The R.A.K. met up in the castles council room to discuss their priorities.

"We have to recon the surrounding area to-"

"Mist that won't be necessary."

"Princess Celestia with all do respect you can't just go in there blind, you might die out there."

"I have done nothing long enough, this time I will be the one to save them."

"Sister I will join you."

"Luna you can't."

"I have the guilt as you do for letting Fallen Star fall. We must do this together."

"We depart tomorrow. Any objections speak out now."

Shadow said,"This may not be a normal takeover princess."

"I'm aware of that. You and your friends need to stay here and look after our kingdom while we take care of the Crystal Empire."

They were dismissed and the princesses prepared to take the Crystal Empire out from the enemies grasp.
