//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: The Invasion // by Storm_Flicker //------------------------------// "But my Queen, you must stay in bed!" exclaimed the highest ranking guard "Be quiet, I must go for moral-sake, so hurry up and get the doctor over here" she said standing up as the changeling moves away, the commander looking at another, flicking his head to signal to go and get the doctor for her. "All we need is a enough food to last us for a bit, send some scouts out to gather, top priority mission, they must not be discovered" she says falling to her knees, the gaurds rushing to aid her "I'm fine, just go do as i ask" she glares at the closest one, as they back off. Just as they return to their original place, the doctor walks through the door. ============================================================================ "Just another normal day inst it?" Twilight asks, to one of her newly appointed guards "Y-yes ma'am" he says nervously, as Twilight sits to read her book "i wont bite, so relax. i doubt anything major with happen here in Ponyville" she says with a warm smile, she levitates some books around, looking for a specific one. A picture slip out of one her books, landing in front of the guard. "mind grabbing that for me? I'm a bit busy looking for this book" he looks at it, noticing that its a picture of Twilight and the mane 6 with the Princess' "o-oh is this an old photo of you?" he asks out of curious. Twilight puts down the books to look at it"oh...yeah..." she sighs softly, placing the photo in a album book in her pile "You've gotten a lot taller now ma'am" he says still has the picture in his mind. "Comes with the wings I guess" she says laying back down on her pillowed throne surrounded by books, filling the entire room except the windows and walk ways "I thought I lost all those pictures in the fire, I'm glad one of them survived..." she sighs quietly, with a tinge of sadness in it "Ma'am?" he asked, worried about her "Please, call me Twilight" she says, turning her head away slightly. he hesitates to walk over to her "ma-...er, Twilight? are you okay?" he starts to walk over to her, but she turns back, nearly no emotion in her face anymore "I'm fine, don't worry about me" she takes a deep breathe, returning to her research. "Just do your job and guard me"
