Talk:Princess Cadance/@comment-125801-20121012193357

I JUST GOT IT! The Crystal Empire only reappeared recently, after being gone for a thousand years. While Twilight and her friends investigate, Princess Cadence (who comes from who knows where) agrees to use her magic to keep the Crystal Ponies happy. After they defeat King Somber, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor are then elected to be the leaders of a leaderless land. That's simplified, but you get the idea.
