While there, Sombra met an eccentric and optimistic unicorn named Radiant Hope. The only thing he said was ”Sombra”, so that became his name. The weak colt was found by patrolling guards, lying unconscious in the snow, with no knowledge of how he got there. They put a shadow pony inside the shell of a young earth pony, which allowed him to resist the Crystal Heart’s love, and sent him to the surface.

The Umbrum plotted their escape and came up with a devious plan. The first Crystal Fair was held to celebrate the event and became an annual festivity afterwards. When a dragon stole the Crystal Heart, Celestia and Luna recovered it, thus establishing friendly relations between Equestria and the Crystal Empire. The power of the Crystal Heart kept the ponies safe and even warmed the local climate, making it more temperate and hospitable. Amore was crowned as the first Princess of the Crystal Empire and became a wise and benevolent ruler. She projected her positive energy into it and with the power of the heart, the Umbrum were banished deep beneath the Empire. However, Amore, a pony of love and optimism, discovered the Crystal Heart, a crystal gem of immense magical power. They burned their crystal homes, preyed on them and crushed their hopes.
