Yep, ANOTHER Story · 12:56am Jun 19th, 2020
Yes, this is another story. It won't be the last, but it will be the only one not on the same timeline as the others (IGNORE DONUTS!!). Here's a little sneak peek at The Shadow!
“And now, it is my pleasure to announce the new ruler of Equestria, Princess Twilight Sparkle,” Celestia called out to the now cheering crowd of ponies below. Among them, Twilight could see friends from home and abroad, all here to support her as she strode to stand in between her former Princesses. She felt an unsure smile spread across her face as she watched friend and family alike clap and cheer. With each face she saw, memory of the adventures they’d shared filled her mind, turning her smile into a much more genuine edition. Each pony, dragon, changeling, hippogriff, griffon, cat, and yak below had helped her on her journey somehow, and to each of them, she wanted to spend hours thanking them.
She knew now that from this point on, however, they weren’t merely her friends, but her subjects too. They would need her now in more ways than they had when she was just Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship. Now, she had their welfare and livelihood to defend, and their trust to lead them to the best of her abilities. The thought was admittedly daunting, but she knew she had friends willing to help her rule.
She saw Spike in the crowd, sitting at a table with Applejack and Pinkie Pie. Even now, he gripped his glass, ready to give her a cheer as soon as beverages were passed out. Applejack sat closest to him, her face set with a determined smile with a glisten in her eye that had to be tears. Pinkie was almost hovering off her seat out of excitement. The sight of it made her giggle. She could feel the eyes of Rarity on her back, and resisted the urge to tug at her velvety soft dress. She also knew that out there, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were about to do their parts in supporting her. The thoughts of so many friends here to support her made her teary eyed, and she resisted crying lest it ruined the delicate makeup work by Rarity.
The alicorns on either side of her nodded to each other. In unison, they used their magic and pulled the crowns from off their heads. Twilight watched in wonder as the eyes of all in Canterlot went to the crowns as they floated into each other. In a bright flash of light that nearly blinded the spectators, the two crowns combined into a spectacular new one. The golden crown was three-pronged with her cutie mark dead in the center of it. It was really too much, and Twilight would have said so herself, if it hadn’t been for the fact that something shining to the left caught her eye.
