"But Art Streak," Sunshine whispered back, "How do you know she's with Prince Darke?" Sunshine knew she shouldn't just tell everyone the news, but this was an emergency! How are they going to defeat Prince Darke with only 2 ponies? They needed more ponies, pronto! And also, she doesn't want to hurt Golden Typhoon's feelings. She didn't look evil to her. Could it be a disguise? Maybe Golden Typhoon is a changling! But Sunshine doubted it. And plus, wouldn't she and Art Streak be stone by now if Golden Typhoon was with Prince Darke? All the thinking was making Sunshine sick.
Suddenly, Starhex, Sunshine's older brother came out. He pointed at Celestia and gave Sunshine a puzzling glance as if saying, "What happened here, little sis?" Sunshine knew she had to tell the truth. Somehow, Starhex could always see through her lies. So, she told him everything. When Sunshine finished, he looked bewildered and shocked. He started shaking a bit. Then, he went inside, took out a book, and gave it to Sunshine. Sunshine read the title aloud, "Royal Family Tree." Sunshine looked at the table of contents, leafed through a few pages, and started to read,
"Prince Darke
1000 years ago, when Nightmare Moon was sent to the moon, King Sombra ruled the Crystal Empire with his son, Prince Darke. Prince Darke was basically the opposite of his father. While his father was busy commanding slaves, he would sneak to prison, where slaves are imprisoned. He helped many slaves escape with his magic, but it was hard. Soon, his father caught him try to smuggle a slave. King Sombra was furious. Prince Darke was brave, and fought with all his might. But he lost the great battle and was banished into an ancient volcano. The ancient volcano was stuffed with dark magic, and after a while, it overcame him and changed his heart forever. No one knows if Prince Darke has managed to escape yet."
Sunshine gasped. Prince Darke was related to King Sombra?! She glanced up at Art Streak and Golden Typhoon and gave them a worried look.
