Chapter 14 – When a Colt Enters Mystify's Life

Mystify wanted to go out but her parents wouldn't let her, they thought she could get ponynapped.

"Father, mother, please just for five minutes, I want to see what my world looks like." said Mystify.

"No, you're young to do this, fillies don't go out until they grow up." said Wood.

"That is unless if three guards come with you." said Wing. Wood was going to reject because he didn't want her to find love, Wing blocked his mouth. "Go before your father gets to you, get three guards, if I don't see guards with you then you're coming here."

"OK, mom." said Mystify. She went outside and looked at her home, how it looked outdoors. Kreta was walking outside too, he saw Mystify and assumed it was a grown-up. Guards saw him and stood in front of him to make sure he wouldn't approach Mystify. "Hey guards, who is that?"

"No one." said the guards as they gave a little smile and stood in front of Kreta. Mystify turned her head to any direction but the guards would block it, when she tried to fly, she fell on the ground. So she fooled them as if she was going to go right but just rushed behind them. "Princess, wait!"

"Hello, who are you?" asked Mystify.

"I'm Kreta." said Kreta.

"Kreta?" said Mystify. "Believe, I've heard of that name before."

"I'm sure you have." said Kreta. The guards came and threw him away.

"Hey!" said Mystify. "Stop! That's my friend!"

"Princess, we can't." said a guard. "We were ordered by King Wood to ensure that you don't come in contact with anypony."

"We'll see about that." said Mystify. She opened her wings and gave it all she'd got. She was able to fly a little, she tried to flap her wings slowly, one of the pegasus guards came up and grabbed her.

"Hey, no, stop!" said Mystify while being brung to Wood.

"Thanks, guards." said Wood. "You're never going outside again."

"But daddy, why won't you let me speak to anypony outside?" asked Mystify.

"I can't tell you that." said Wood, he created a magic chamber, holding Mystify and went to their room.

"Sweetheart, guards told me, she almost spoke with a colt." whispered Wood.

"Wood, I told you she can do what she wants." whispered Wing.

In the night, Wood was sleeping, Wing suddenly woke up and woke Mystify, she grabbed her and went to the hall, she closed the door and started telling Mystify, what her father's intentions were.

"Mystify, do you know why your father doesn't let you out?" asked Wing.

"No, I don't." said Mystify.

"It's because, he thinks you will fall in love early and leave us." said Wing. "Don't tell him, I told you, don't tell him that you even know. But, I'll give you a chance to speak with the colt you saw. What is his name?"

"He's Kreta." said Mystify.

"Kreta?" said Wing. "Mystify, I'm not sure that's a little one."

"He was my size." said Mystify.

"Well, OK." said Wing. "But, I'll first have to see what he looks like before you can speak."

"Okay." said Mystify. She searched for Kreta around the castle when she saw him going into a room.

"I'm sure he is there."

"That's him?" said Wing. "Then you can go and speak with him."

"OK, mom." said Mystify. She went to the door and knocked it.

"Who is it?" asked Kreta.

"Mystify." said Mystify.

"Wait a minute." said Kreta. "Why in Equestria, would you, The Princess want to see me?"

"I came to speak, can you let me in?" asked Mystify.

"Whatever you want." said the little Kreta and opened the door. He realized it was the filly he met outdoors. "It's you? Haven't we met before?"

"We met outside." said Mystify.

"What can I do for you?" asked Kreta.

"Can, I go in please?" asked Mystify.

"Course." said Kreta.

"Close the door." said Mystify.

"For what?" asked Kreta.

"Our conversation to be private." said Mystify.

"O-okay." said Kreta while not putting his eyes apart her. They sat down and started talking.

"Look, my father does not want you to see you, okay?" said Mystify. "My mother gave me a chance to speak with you in secret so let's do so."

"That's strange, because I've known your father quite well, I have to tell you something secret." said Kreta.

"Yes?" said Mystify.

"I was twenty, upon reading a book, I learnt that Wood could give me wings but would age me down." said Kreta. "Normally, I'm old."

"You're normally old?" said Mystify. "Well, what do you know about him?"

"He took away something by ol' scientists that made me destroy your land, this, is a copy of before I ruined it." said Kreta.

"You were normally an earth-pony?" asked Mystify.

"Yes." said Kreta. "Without your father, I'm a nothing."

"But if you two know yourselves very-well, why won't he let me with you?" asked Mystify.

"He doesn't know it's me, you gotta tell him yourself or I'm pretty sure we'll never be able to meet again." said Kreta. "This is your only chance, right?"

"It is." said Mystify. "Thanks for the time."

"You're quite welcome here, keep it secret whenever you want if you have permission to walk in the castle." said Kreta.

"Will do, bye." said Mystify.

THE NEXT DAY

Mystify woke her father up and told him that she wanted to tell him something in private. Wood walked with her to the hall and they talked.

"Listen, I know you don't want me to meet colts, but the colt I met is Kreta." said Mystify. "He knows you doesn't he? And yet you know him too."

"How do you know?" asked Wood.

"I spoke with him yesterday night." said Mystify.

"Sweetie, then it's okay, I trust him." said Wood. "You don't have to keep it secret if it's Kreta."

"Alright daddy." said Mystify.

"But just let me have one moment with him, OK?" asked Wood.

"Sure." said Mystify, nervously awaiting her father decide what he was gonna do or say to Kreta. Wood opened Kreta's door and saw him, looking out of his window while in bed.

"Kreta, can I ask you something?" said Wood.

"Wood, sure what is it?" asked Kreta.

"My daughter told me, you and her spoke." said Wood.

"Wood, that's true but there's something else I feel for her, I just don't know if I've reached my age back to say it to her." said Kreta.

"What?" asked Wood.

"I love your daughter, Wood." said Kreta.

"What did you say?" said Wood.

"She's too beautiful for me, I can hardly resist not telling her." said Kreta.

"Look, when you two grow up, tell her and make her happy under any circumstance, if you hurt her, you lose my trust and get banished from this land forever." said Wood.

"You got it." said Kreta.
