Cadance's past with the Crystal Empire is riddled with unanswered questions and well-kept secrets. No one truly knows how king Sombra came to power, except Cadance. Her past, however, is not something she is about to share with just anypony.

I don't have an editor, so it would be very helpful to let me know when you see an error.

EDIT: I was upset with how short the chapters turned out, so I made it a one-shot story instead.
