Description:
Sinning Armor shook his coat and mane from the snow, another day spent training, filling reports, and checking the empire’s forcefield against the southern blizzard that was rapidly approaching.
Shining Armor walked at a slow pace, it was way past midnight, and though he should be with Cadence he was taking the peacefulness of the quiet night these days to his advantage. After the whole Crystal Shattering, he’s been a bit paranoid and as a father he has to make sure everything was okay, even if it extends to the entire empire, he can excuse it as emperor duties when the advisors pester him.
The sounds of hooves across marble clacked loudly across the dark curved center of the castle entrance, the floating Crystal Heart illuminating the surrounding area with its usual blue glow. Shining Armor couldn’t avoid looking at the crystal, after its repair the heart seem to be more powerful than when he married and permanently moved to the Empire, even more than when they defeated Sombra.
The power of the Heart seemed to double, holding itself, somehow resting right below his hooves, across every corner of the empire. Shining’s eyes narrowed as he glance below to the floor, Shining may not be as good as his sister when it came to casting magic spells, but he’s naturally more attuned to everyone else's magic all around him, he can ‘see’ it in a way. Their like whisper around the pony or like fine silk encircling them.
However, the magic that he can clearly see is from living beings, so why is it that recently he can see magic belonging to the Crystal Heart?
Shining Armor gradually walked around the Crystal steadily observing it. Nothing was amiss about the Heart. Nothing was out of the usual. But Shining’s senses told him he was being looked at, followed as he walked beside it. It doesn’t feel like malicious intent, but nonetheless, something that makes his muscles tense.
He looks away as he approaches the door into the castle. Maybe all he’s seeing is the magic of the crystal citizens, he looks back one last time.
At least, he hopes it is.
I don't know why im obsessed with the crystal empire and the crystal heart, but its really fun and has so much potential to being a dark.
These is like a prequel to before flurry's attachment to the crystal heart in A Willing Sacrifice
