This story is a sequel to Windigo Storm

This story is part of the Crystal Note AU that starts with Crystal Note - Welcome to Sweet Apple Acres!.
It is not necessary to read any of the previous stories, but there will be referrals to ponies and events from them.

Crystal Note is the only crystal unicorn in all of Equestria. Therefore, she is the only crystal pony with access to unicorn magic, the same magic that was once used to put a terrible curse on her home, the Crystal Empire far up north.

After spending years of travelling all over Equestria as a musician and singer, Crystal Note moved back to her home. She has come to peace with the events of her past, good and bad, and is now ready to be a part of the Crystal Empire again.

However, tragic events keep happening even in times of peace. Suddenly, Crystal Note finds herself in a unique position to help and with eager desire to do so. She will do everything she can to give back the kindness and trust once given to her and help three fillies in their time of dire need.
This is the story of Crystal Note and family.

This story takes place a couple of years after the events of Windigo Storm. While it is not necessary to read that story or any of the Crystal Note AU, there wil be referrals to events and ponies from the past.
Some of those events have not been written or published yet, please excuse if that happens.

This story contains multiple story archs that are connected and intertwined. Therefore, instead of putting each of those archs into an individual story, I will publish all of them in this story and further updates.
Not all of the story archs are finished yet, I will mark those for you. Since many of the stories are intertwined, the timeline might jump a little between stories and the order of chapters will change with further updates.

Please read this blog for some other reasons.

While it is recommended to read the two first story archs, all further story archs can be read on their own, so feel free to skip anything that doesn't peak your interest.
Since the story archs were planned as individual stories, there will be some exposition and referrals in each of them to other stories and chapters of this one. Please excuse when this happens.

Please feel free to comment, ask questions or add suggestions as much as you like. Please feel free to give ideas for further stories or chapters you'd like to see. Feel free to use this or any part of the Crystal Note AU for your own ideas and stories.

You are now part of an effort to find the scattered pages, each containing the power to change the narrative. Will you restore the past, reshape the present, or control the future?

Included are all the endings to each story as well as the code word associated with the story in the app.

The stories were structured to be bite-sized interactions for consumption by attendees. Attendees were then meant to select endings for each scenario, furthering a faction of their choosing.

Cadence and Shining Armor had their wedding and had a daughter named Flurry Heart. Twilight had been crowned the Princess of Friendship. The Mane 6 had already found their special someponies, or rather, some creatures and they've aged...

And they have kids as well. Flurry Heart has also aged and is currently 17 while the other kids were about 12 or under...

But when the Crystal Empire returns... Can they protect it from the Evil King that once ruled over the Empire? Can they seek out the Crystal Heart and retrieve it before Sombra does?

An Alternate Universe to Episode 1 & 2 of Season 3, The Crystal Empire.

Sixteen years ago, Princess Cadance was forced to adopt a changeling grub as her daughter and Flurry Heart's younger sister. Her name is Cheval, and she was always intended to be a living weapon to be used against Cadance and her family.

In one story, that's exactly what she became, despite all her efforts to be otherwise.

This one is a different take.
