Part One: The Forgotten Kingdom

Chapter One: Going to Alicar

Once her kingdom stood well known for honey and sweets, now it did not.

And once she managed every affair of her kingdom, but she didn’t now.

The Kingdom of Fīrae or even Furia or Fīrea (that’s Fur-ria, Fur-riah, and also Fur-reah, and Fairy-riah, Fairy-reah, those are how you pronounce it), had been once well known, but ponies couldn’t ever call it that so instead it was dubbed the honey kingdom instead, but now it was the changeling empire.

But before it was cursed it was one of the most beautiful kingdoms in the whole entire land, and she was also one of the most beautiful mares as well too.

But now she was only very ugly instead.

But enough of the present, on to the past then.

Queen Chrysalis stood at her mirror having received the latest letter from King Cosmos inviting her to his royal regal vast wide kingdom for the summer solstice celebration.

How cute, she thought looking at it for quite some time, and then she noticed something very different about it, for it contained a mention of a new guest that was from very far away and one that was not an alicorn. How very interesting, she thought, but then again not unusual, strange, or odd of his behavior at all, but she would be very curious to meet this wizard who was a master of potions and spells. And she would also have to test his loyalty and love as well too.

And so it was that weeks before the celebration that she prepared herself and her subjects, and they were all very glad to help since that would mean that they could only feed off of more love from every pony that was there now.

And so it was that shortly before the celebration that she left with all her supplies, and three days before the celebration she arrived.

And when she got there she quickly saw King Cosmos and a strange gray stallion that stood very near and close to him, that must be the wizard, she thought to herself, he looks very handsome, too bad he’s not royalty or an alicorn, then I just might consider trying to lie to him instead now.

But she would not bother with too many tricks or lies this time however.

This time she would keep it small, simple, and short for all of them now.

“Wow,” Star Swirl said being the first one to state the obvious, “You look very lovely and totally awesome and cool, can I have the name of your stylist and all your personal contact information so I can get in touch with you very soon?”

She laughed at this comment as if remembering a very fond moment from the past, “I remember the first time that the king asked that,” she said smiling at the memory of the very nervous king saying almost exactly that, “But no, you may not, I’m sorry.”

“That’s okay,” Star Swirl said, “I’m married anyways, so no can do.”

“Then why ask me to keep in touch then at all?” she said smiling very lightly.

“Who’s to say that we simply can’t be friends?” he said smiling as well.

“I guess that you’re right, we certainly can be friends,” she said.

And with that said she decided to start on royal official matter now instead.

“I see that all is going quite well over here without me here,” she said.

“Yes,” Cosmos said, “But now that you’re here you will certainly bring joy and delight to many, and also your 
sweet goods and treats too, I mean, what would the party be without you?” he said raising his hoofs to 
make a point.

“Yes,” she said very calmly and coldly and smoothly, “What would it be like without me to offer my sweet goods and services? You would have even less to offer than you usually do, and you should thank me even 
more for that.”

The king smiled at that, “What kind of thank you did you have in mind?”

She smiled playfully, “Certainly not the one that you had in your mind just now, sorry boys, but I don’t ‘do it’ with other ponies who aren’t fit or worthy enough for me, and neither of you quite cut it out for me.”

And with that said she gently glided past both of them and went over by the guards wondering if the king would offer her a room, but he didn’t.

“I’ll be staying in one of the guest’s rooms unless you would like it otherwise?” she said from behind both of them trying desperately to get their attention now.

“That’s fine,” Cosmos said turning around to face her and he did the same too, “But should you ever need anything feel free to ask, my door is always open.”

“Thank you very much, but I think that I will be fine on my own.”

And with that said she gently glided off down the hallway as one of the many various random guards would take and lead her to the first available empty room that there was, but that was no worry since there 
were many indeed.

And with that she went off into one of the rooms and decided to unpack her stuff and things, and eventually she pulled out her mirror and smiled.

Soon, she thought, soon she would have everything that she wanted, love, a family, friends, and more, and with that thought in mind she fell asleep then.
