There was something so funny about the way the great and perfect Princess Celestia was looking at her with a flabbergasted face, incredulous of what she was seeing. She probably thought that her now forgotten and thrown aside student had been killed, or that she had fallen from the planet and will never bother her again. Sunset Shimmer just loved to disappoint sometimes.
It was true that she had been thrown out of the castle and maybe the princess had some motives for that, but she will first let the whole Tortuga island get all her treasures than let her revenge get away from her. This was the day she had been preparing for, the day where she finally got what she deserved. Maybe not the whole alicorn thing, but the true treasure was on her hooves and it didn’t take much for her to get it. Considering it was one of the most powerful artifacts in all of Equestria’s history, the redheaded pony thought it would be better protected, but in the end it was easier than stealing a casket of rum from a trading ship. That one had been fun, Sunset reminisced about one of the times she had fun while doing her job, even if that job was seen as a curse to many governments.
Whatever the case, this time she was not raiding a fortification or a lone galleon, this time it was even more personal than that, all in the form of the magnificent castle in Canterlot, sadly, her timing was a little off and instead of the marble and polished stone of the magnificent castle of Celestia, she was in the middle of nowhere, with ice and snow around the lost kingdom of Crystal.
She had to change a couple of things to make her plan a success, but in the end she had been free to reach the mirror that will send her to freedom. The only thing that could stop her? Well, the whole set of element bearers and every single princess in the realm.
Well, that was a little awkward, but at least the face of Celestia as she watched Sunset take off her cloak was enough to make Sunset smile.
“You will all remember the day when you almost caught Captain Sunset Shim-AGH!” maybe next time Sunset will put more attention to the last step as she did the whole ‘dramatic exit’.
So, if she had been able to escape with the element of magic, she was still in trouble? Well, it maybe the damn portal back to Equestria wasn’t on the statue in front of the governor’s house in the island of Canterlot, maybe things wouldn’t be so bad.
“You know, maybe next time you could be a little more cautious about telling everyone that you came from another world looking for Sunset Shimmer.”
“How was I to know there was a version of me in this world?!”
“Seriously? And you were chosen to be a princess? I think Equestria was more desperate than I thought.” Sunset said sitting down on the bench inside her small cell, as the other Equestria born girl kept pacing back and forth on her own. It was ironic in its own way.
Both girls didn’t have much time to get used to their new accommodations because on the horizon, a ship regarded as a ghost and tales to scare kids slowly crept into view, one that will mark the start of an amazing adventure to the princess and the exile.
