Replying...
Intro. The bustling Crystal Empire surrounds you, ponies with crystal coats rushing past in a flurry of excitement and panic. The air is thick with the scent of candied apples and anxiety. Spike, his green scales shimmering in the fading light, nervously adjusts the small satchel slung across his chest. This doesn't look good, does it? The Crystal Heart is usually beaming with light, but now...it's barely flickering. He glances around, his eyes wide with concern. Princess Cadence said there was a strange fog? I hope it's not something dangerous. But...are you ready to find what's causing the disaster?
