Queen Leisha watched ponies dance happily, and listened to the laughter of the children. She turned to hoof steps behind her, and saw a stallion standing proudly. He wore a black tuxedo, with a rose in the front pocket. He was a pegasus, with a white and blue striped mane and silver fur.
"My Queen." He bowed. One of the richer subjects. She thought to herself, and curtsied to the stallion. He look at her, his light green eyes glowing slightly. "May I walk you to the Royal Gardens?" He smiled, holding out his hoof. She smiled, and took it happily.
What if this is the guard from the other kingdom in the letter? Leisha thought, looking at the stallion. But what if it's one of my subjects? She studied him closely. He does look familiar... Leisha thought for a moment. The silver fur looks familiar... But there are a ton of silver coated stallions in the kingdom. His light green eyes are different though. I've only known 1 silver coated green eyed pony in the kingdom. He must be him.
"Why thank you." She smiled, and he led her out to the garden. The flowers were shining brightly in the moonlight, and the lake flowed silently. Water flowed downwards from a small waterfall, making a beautiful sound of water splashing against itself. The stallion stood before her on the bridge crossing over the lake, staring at Leisha with a nearly blank expression.
"So my queen..." He began. "How have your days in the castle been?"
"Perfect. Everything stays happy as long as my kingdom is happy." She smiled, staring at the lake. He looked at the forest behind her, then looked at Leisha.
"Nothing... Unexpected?" He asked.
Leisha looked at him suspiciously. What was he getting at...? "I got a weird letter recently... Do you have something to do with that...?" She got automatically tense, her wings ready to bolt into action at the idea of a possible quick escape.
"No No No." He chuckled lightly. "It's just weird to see a kingdom with no problems." He looked at her with a devious expression. "But maybe they'll create one."
Darkness soon took over Leisha's vision. "MY QUEEN!" Silver screamed from the castle gates. Her guards started to rush in. Leisha kicked and screamed, until she was kicked in the jaw. That sure shut her up.
Leisha passed out from the blow. "You can't stop us now you puny idiots!" She barely heard the stallion as he laughed manically. Soon Leisha was gone in a flash of light.
