I walked into my throne room, I streached my wings and looked around. The red silky curtans hung over the rather large windows, and there were paintings of my ancestors everywhere. I used my horn to move some supplies from my son's school project out of the way. I went to my throne chair, and sat down.
Then Petal Dancer Came Bursting in screaming, "she's in trouble!" I just sighed. Petal is a unique unicorn from our kingdom. She is from Canterlot in Equestria, so she holds Equestria dear to her heart. Petal has orange skin, with blue eyes. Her mane is straight and semi-long, and is a mixed color of Purple and blue.
Petal is our kingdom's fortune teller, meaning she can see, and predict, the future. Although she isn't always right with her predictions. Oddly enough, she believes that every magic user is constantly reading other ponies minds, like she is, so she doesn't bother explaining many things.
"Who's, 'she'?" I asked. Petal hung her head in disapointment, as usual when I give her this type of answer. "The newest princess in Equestria, thats who!" she exclaimed maybe a little louder than she intended.
Somepony walked out onto the golden floor. "Twilight, in trouble?" One of my guards, Violet Bink, Laughed. Violet as her name suggests has a velvet purple skin color, sort of like Twilight's but darker, and her mane is a dark black, kind of bland in my opinion.
"Twilight has been able to handle herself aginst many threats Petal, I doubt she is in trouble" I said calmly. She however, wasn't so calm. "Are you kidding! I had a vision and not just Twilight, but all of Equestria falls!" This me wonder about her. She knew if Twilight fell, then the Elements of Harmony would be destroyed, and the balance of the entire Planet would be thrown out of wack!
I wasn't sure if this was one of Petal's false visions. "How could Twilight be defeated? She has fought off everything from a crazy corrupted alicorn to a power crazy centaur. What could be so threatining to her, heck I bet she could fight off the shadow ponies!"
Petal seemed surprised. But then realized we didn't know that that's exactly what she was talking about.
"It is shadow ponies, but they're numbers have doubled since we last fought them, and some of them have learned to corrupt those without a completely pure heart." Petal had a tear in her eye. She looked up at me and asked "You wouldnt mind going to equestria and helping her fight off the shadow ponies, would you?"
She was giving me those eyes, those eyes can't be refused. "Ok, I'll go." Giving in almost instantly. Her Eyes brightened up. "But your comming with me." She laughed "Fair enough I guess."
Violet chirped up "If your going, I'm going too!" I Nodded at her
I went to my bedroom, I looked in the Mirror. I decided that i could pass off as Petal's Sister. Using my magic I did a spell to hide my wings. Now I loked like an everyday Unicorn. My mane shining red and dark blue, my skin in contrast to the blue was a pure white. My mane was sort of a mess, there were ends sticking out all over the place! I never could fix my mane, it was if it has a mind of it's own. I took off my royal garments Velvet always makes me wear, and I came back out to the room to see only Violet.
"Where did Petal go?" I asked. "She Went to get ready, as her room isnt 10 hooves away." Velvet exclaimed, that last part sarcastically. "Well you look, normal." She chirped.
Petal walked in a few minutes later. "Lets go she said!" I sighed, "I haven't even said my goodbyes yet!" Petal rolled her eyes, "Five minutes, you have five minutes!"
I said goodbye to Flare Star, My son, and Looked at Violet for one of the only times without her armor, Violet is fast without her armor, maybe as fast as Rainbow dash in Equestria.
Violet volunteered to drive the carrage that was parked outside the castle, right next to the bridge crossing the moat. The carrage was located in a little stone hut, overlooking the decline down the mountian leading into the main village.
We Hooked up Violet to it, and took off with suprising speed. It only took us an Hour to hit the ocean. She wasnt even tired a bit yet.
After another 3 hours she seemed to be getting weary, really weary. I used my Magic to make my wings re-appear, and flew beside her. "Let me take it" She gladly gave me the harness and sat down to sleep.
The harness wasn't exactaly comfortable. By the two hour mark, it started hurting. I didn't want to wake violet, so i keep ressing on, for another 2 hours, by this time my vision was blurred by tears. It wasn't much the harness, but the weight of the passangers, and my years of being pampered and getting little physical activity.
I woke up, and yawned. I sat up in the carrage, and looked around. it was still pitch-black, aside from the moon's light. We weren't moving very fast. I saw Cosmos driving us at the helm. He looked ready to fall out of the sky.
Violet was asleep, dead asleep. When she is asleep, it's almost impossible to wake her up. I looked down for a good spot to land and saw an island. "Cosmos! Look down below, land there!" I yelled through the wind
He Flicked his left ear in acknowlagement. and slowly decended to the island. The island was suprising big, it had only looked small from how high we were. Even in his tired state, Cosmos was able to land us smoothly, it was if he had been doing this for awhile. He didn't seem like a pampered Prince.
Cosmos lit his horn up and the stars moved into formation for the night, something amazing to see, but he rarely did it late, he must of forgotten from due to the trip. Then he collapsed onto the sandy beach. I used my magic to grab him and the carrage with Violet in it and put them in a place farther from the salty ocean.
I Looked into the sky, it was beautiful. It was the last thing I saw, before I fell asleep.
My Body still ached from yesterday's trip, well atleast the half i flew, who knows how long Cosmos was flying. That thing was heavier than my high duribility armor I wear on specal missions. It was day time, the sun was barely risen, it was mid morning. I looked around in the carrage, and saw trees, lots of trees. A mix of oak and plam trees scattered about. More palm trees twords a beach, and more oak away from it.
I stood up, yawning. The other two were asleep, so I didn't want to bother them. I felt my stomach growl, and dug out some hay, tomatos, lettuce, and bread to make a sandwich. After that I got thirsty.
I hadn't been to the ocean much, but I knew not to drink the water in it, so I ventured deeper into the forest of oak behind me.
By the time I found a small pond, the palm trees had been gone completely and a few birch trees popped up here and there. The island we had landed on was suprisingly big. I was at the pond, drinking for atleast a for 10 minutes, I hadn't realized i was so thirsty.
When I was full and content, I half galloped, half trotted twords the carrage. The others were up by that point and Petal waved to me. I smiled back. I walked over and said, "If any of you are thirsty there is a nice pond about 10 minutes straight back from where I came."
Solar stood up and exclaimed "Boy, I'm parched!" Then walked off twords the pond, leaving Petal and I at the carrage. "You not thirsty Petal?" I asked. "No not really, I didn't do any flying yesterday like you two, and Cosmos was is tears after 5 hours, while I was just sleeping through the whole thing, so I can stand not to drink a bti of water for now."
I shurgged, "Whatever you say, I guess."
About an Hour had passed before I hooked up to the carrage for departure again. "Ready?" I asked. They Nodded. I opened my wings and started with a quick gallop, then flaped my wings a few times and we were in the sky. I always loved the feeling of flyign through the air, it is just amazing to me.
"How much longer do you think Cosmos?" I heard Petal ask. "Probally tonight we will arrive," he replied.
I had extra strength today, so I was able to fly for a good 7 hours before cosmos took over. Then I simply took a nap, and it was rather relaxing in the carrage.
I woke up a few hour later, hearing Cosmos yelling "We're here!" I sat up and saw a giant island in the distance, no a continent, looming before us.
"Welcome to Equestria everyone!" Cosmos exclaimed.
