Description I was away a little longer than planned, got stuck playing fallout 3 and 4 and of course the holidays. Back with my alternate universe otp.

Have some headcanon:
This happens right before she was forced into alicornhood. The crystal heart will allow you to see your potential in canon, so I suppose if Sombra was the one who crafted it, he could also use it.
In this universe Radiant Hope would be Radiant Despair, and instead of healing anything she can destroy anything. I guess you could see her as the Alicorn of sickness/fear, which would line up with how dark magic is explained normally in mlp.
The crystal heart forces her into her destiny, but since it is good, it only allows itself to be used for good. Which is the destruction of the crystal empire (which would be evil in the alternate universe). It will use up the crystal heart, and kill Radiant Despair or seal her forever.
Why does this work? Radiant Despair loves Sombra. I choose to not see love as good or evil. It can be both. It can heal and destroy. And right now, it will destroy.

I guess the Empire ends with a nuclear explosion...

Maybe her cutie mark is basically a pun on her name. But it does make me think about whether or not Equestria has radiation and if that is what dark magic is.

Maybe that is generally what Magic is.

That explains why Twilight has wings. Just cancerous growths due to excessive magix

Interestingly enough, in rare cases it can also result in an individual growing into a size far larger than normal. Happened to Celestia and Luna. Don't count on it. Getting cancer is more likely.

I really like this drawing and the story that goes with it!

You ought to write more about your AU/story ideas sometime if you feel like it, and you have the time : D
