Chapter 7: The Royal Explanation ~ Flashback Story
Part 1: An Alerting New-Comer
~~~ 3 Days Ago ~~~
Within the courtyard of the Royal Ones, Twilight was looking for Violet. In irritation, she marched herself to the gate. "Hello boys," Twilight spoke to the guards with her eyes fully red.
"Uh, Princess Twilight." One of the guards jumped.
"It's an honor to see at this hour," the other guard bowed in panic.
"Have you seen my sister?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, she has stepped out for a moment." The second guard replied.
"Is she companied by Aurora?" Twilight asked again.
"No," the first guard shook. "She is companies with Silver Wind?"
Silver Wind, Twilight thought. As in... "What?!" Twilight's eyes turned to deep blood red.
Both guards jumped.
"You let her go out alone?" Twilight growled.
"She needs some fresh air," one of the guards answered innocently. "She needs to breathe for a moment."
"And she's gone for how long?" Twilight asked again.
"15 minutes ma'am," the second guard answered.
"That long?" Twilight barked, "If she's gone any longer, my uncle will be plunking either my feathers or your feathers for this."
"She'll be fine," the first guard spoke. "Probably she needs to clear her head for a few moments, after all. She is the heiress to the throne, so she needs to get some weight off her."
"It doesn't matter," Twilight barked. "When will it be when she...?" Suddenly, the gate started to open.
"Oh, she's back." The guard sighed in relief.
"It's about time," Twilight crossed her arms as her eyes turned to light red. As the door has fully opened, they saw Violet walking with her flying stallion with a figure of a person on its back.
"Call the medical team," Violet commanded.
"Sister," Twilight's eyes turned to white and sky blue. "What's wrong?"
"This person needs help and needs medical treatment right away," Violet answered.
"We're on it, your highness." The guards began to call the medical team.
"Where did you find this man?" Twilight asked as she sees the person, laying on Silver Wind.
"I found him in the forest, he injured his leg badly." "Violet answered.
"Why were you in the forest?" Twilight raised a brow.
"I saw something crashed there," Violet answered. "So I went to check it out."
"What crash?" Twilight raised a brow as her eyes changed to brown.
"A spacecraft crash," Violet answered with a half lie.
"You're kidding, right?" Twilight put her hands on her hips.
Violet shook as she remains silent.
"Okay, you're not kidding." Twilight breathes a bit. "But, how come there is no...?"
"The person has a good soul," Violet replied.
"What makes you so sure of it?" Twilight questioned.
"The Sacred Law of the Forest has stated clearly," Violet pointed out.
"Oh, I hated that you have to remind me about that law," Twilight's eyes turned light red.
That reminder never gets old. Violet thought as she giggled from the inside.
She sighed as her eyes turned white. "Well, I'm going to have a glimpse of this person."
"Uh, no wait." Violet panicked, too late. Twilight look at the glimpse of the person who is laying on Silver Wind. Her eyes widened as they quickly turned to indigo and black.
Twilight gasped as she stepped back, "A Galra? Here? In Heaven?"
The guards jumped.
Violet gulped.
"Sister," Twilight's eyes quickly turned blood red. "Why did you bring that thing here?!"
"He's an innocent soul that is welcome here and he is hurt, so I chose to help him." Violet crossed her arms, "And he is still very much alive, not dead."
"Then why isn't he turned to ashes right about now?"
"Probably he has a different path than you might have thought he has,"
"You know that our uncle will have a picnic for this, and it won't be any pretty. I know, because I've seen and been there."
"If he wants to bark at me as a tree, then fine." Violet protested, "I will deal with that later, till I'm done."
Twilight jumped as her eyes turned indigo, "Violet...your...you can't be serious?"
"More than ever," Violet retorted.
Twilight gasps as her indigo eyes show the shade of blue as she watches her little sister doing what she is meant to do. Violet turned to the guards.
"Don't just stand there," Violet tries to stay calm. "Help me to get him ready for the Medical Team. Before they get down here."
"Yes, your highness." The guards replied as they finished calling the medical team and began to help the Galra down from Silver Wind. They can feel him shaking in pain as they lay him on the ground. Seeing an armor that they weren't familiar with and watching their youngest princess trying to keep him warm with her cape. Worried, they watched carefully as the medical team comes. Without anyone looking, Silver Wind quickly galloped to the stables so one of the employees would attend him.
A few minutes passed, the medical team came down with a stretcher. Not happy to see a Galra on the ground unconsciously with their youngest princess, sitting right next to him. When they spotted the Galra's left leg, wrapped with a coil of rope and pipes to keep it stable. The medical team's instinct kicks in and decided to bring the Galra to the Medical Wing of the palace. While the medical team is carrying the unconscious Galra on the stretcher. Violet and Twilight began to follow them to the Medical Wing.
Once the courtyard is empty, both guards become very concerned. "I'll go call the king," one of the guards spoke in panic as he grabbed his communicator.
"And I'll go alert the guardians," the other grabbed his communicator as well. Both guards communicated through their communicators and tell them about what has happened and about what they have witnessed.
