Skies was by Sparkle’s side in minutes, sore all over her underside from the crash-landing. Her vision blurred, her ears rang and her head felt heavy. Skies managed to say a poem that she remembered being said from the Diamond Princess’s own mouth, Skies believed that Sparkle was her Princess, she just didn’t know it yet.

“The star are very beautiful,

above the place walls.

they shine with equal splendour,

Still above far humbler halls.

I watch them from my window

but their bright enchanting glow

Reminds of the freedom I gave up so long ago.”

Skies passed out right after she was done with the poem, little did they know three dark shadows had found when Skies recited the poem. Two carried Sparkle while the other carried Skies none spoke nor once looked at each other, they just carried the two identical females to the Diamond Kingdom. The stallion took Skies to the guards so they could deal with her, the mares took Twilight to the place so they could find out why she was here and why she looked just like their lost princess. Sparkle was placed in the Princess’s Royal Quarters, a book was left on the nightstand for her to read before she left the room to explore the castle.

Twilight Sparkle woke after several hours of her magic rebuilding itself, she would need her magic for later. Sparkle noticed the a on the nightstand on  her left, her eyes lit up as she finally had something read before she would explore this place. Levitating the book in front her she open the book to the first page, and began to read.

“‘The Diamond Princess-’” Sparkle began before a crash out made her stop, look around and made her start over. “Ok. ‘The Diamond Princess of The Diamond Kingdom. Once upon a very long time ago, two thousand years in fact, there was once an extraordinary kingdom. This kingdom stretched as far as the eye could see. Its stone buildings were glistening; even the actual castle was glistening with morning dew that for some reason, never quite dried out but this kingdom had a dark secret. A unicorn wanted to take over and keep it all for himself. But the :Princess of the kingdom protested against it.

There was a fierce battle and the Princess was forced to flee. Eventually the Princess happened upon Equestria, for you see, the Diamond Kingdom was somewhere in the north, even further than the Crystal Empire and, deciding to keep her identity hidden, she made a new one for herself. Her new name was Crystal Twilight. She couldn’t change her cutie mark so she always wore a cloak made of silk the colour deepest purple.

Eventually she settled down and she passed this story of how she was defeated to her daughter, from mother to daughter, this was the way. Through the ages this information was lost as the generations kept forgetting bit by bit their true heritage.’” Sparkle stopped reading and looked over on the next page. There was no writing on this side but there was a drawing of what the Princess looked like. She gasped.

“She looks just like me! But how is this possible?”  Sparkle exclaimed in her mind. Sparkle was just too shocked to speak. She sat her head down on the mattress and stared vacantly at the drawing.

It took a long time, almost fifty minutes for Sparkle to calm down as the time drug on there was pony standing in the doorway Seeing her in pure shock the mare knew the remedy for a shocked pony even their princess became that way, singing was the remedy for this lavender mare.

“Just when you think,

Hope is lost and giving up Is all you got...

Blue turns black,

Your confidence is cracked

sometimes there isn’t an obvious explanation

Why the holiest hearts can feel the strongest palpitations

What’s when you can build a bridge of light

That’s what turns the wrongs all right

That’s what you can’t give up the fight

That’s when love turns nighttime into day

That’s when loneliness goes away

That’s why you gotta be strong tonight

Only love can build us a bridge of Light.”

The mare standing in the doorway went to the bedside, and hugged Sparkle to comfort her. Sparkle accepted the hug of comfort hugging back her hope had picked up so much, that she failed to notice her coat began to glimmer and shine like the diamonds around the two mares. The mare hugging Sparkle did notice and knew that this lavender mare was indeed their Princess.
