//------------------------------// // New friends // Story: Return of The king // by Moonlight_shadow78 //------------------------------// As twilight tried to figure out her surroundings she couldn’t tell anything that was familiar. In fact, she couldn’t tell what was what at all. Just as twilight was about to have an emotional breakdown a unicorn with two royal gaurds came into the room. “Your awake.” She said warmly. Her voice sounding as sweet as ever. “You can leave now.” She motioned to the royal gaurds. After they left, the unicorn sat down beside the filly. “We found this beside you.” She lifted up a name tag. “Is this your name?” She asked. “I...I don’t know... I don’t even know who I am..” twilight responded. “I see....well I’ll just call you that. Is that okay with you?” She said Twilight nodded. “Okay so I’m guessing that you also have no idea what an Alicorn is right?” “No...what’s that?” Twilight asked “It’s a pony who can fly and use magic. Like you sweetie!” She said “Oh...what’s your name?” Twilight asked “Hm? Oh sorry! My name is princess Amore.” Princess Amore said. “So does that mean I’m a princess too?” Twilight asked. “Well you are an Alicorn so yes!” Princess Amore said. “Yay!” Twilight said happily. “Do you want me to show you around the empire?” Princess Amore asked the happy filly. “Sure!” Twilight said excitingly. As they walked around the empire Fillies, Colts, Mares, and Stallions stared in awe at the young Alicorn. After they were done Princess Amore took twilight to the crystal heart. “What’s this?” Twilight asked “This is the crystal heart, the source of the empires light and love. Every year everypony gathers up the light and love in them and uses that to power the heart at the crystal faire!” Princess Amore responded. “What is the crystal faire?” Twilight asked. “It’s a faire where we celebrate the crystal empire. And on the last day we use all of the happiness and use that power the crystal heart.” Princess Amore said. “Okay.. also why are all those ponies staring at me?” Twilight said as she pointed to the ponies looking at the young Alicorn. “Well it’s because everypony thought that Celestia and Luna were the only Alicorns.” “Who is Celestia and Luna?” “Celestia is the princess of the sun and she can raise the sun. And Luna is the princess of the moon and she can raise the moon.” Princess Amore said “So what are you the princess of?” Twilight asked. “Oh I should’ve told you this sooner, I am the princess of the crystal empire!” Princess Amore said. When it was night princess Amore decided that she would put twilight in the room next to her so she could keep an eye on twilight. The two princesses fell asleep quickly. The next morning was an exciting morning for twilight because she loved to explore the castle. Of course, she would get lost but she always found her way back to the throne room. “You want to go outside now, don’t you?” Twilight spun around to see princess Amore standing behind her. “Yes....” twilight said. Princess Amore chuckled. “That’s understandable. I imagine you want to make some friends. And it is quite late in the morning. You can go.” “Yay!” Twilight said as she dashed out of the room and out of the castle and into the streets. Though, it wasn’t really exciting because most of the crystal ponies were still inside there rooms. And all of the ponies that were outside were staring at the young Alicorn. Then, twilight heard some fillies and colts playing outside and dashed towards the noise. To find a small group of foals playing in the yard of an orphanage. “Hey did you hear?” A colt asked his group of friends. “Hear what?” “My mom came home yesterday and she said that ther is a THIRD Alicorn how crazy is that?” This peeked the young crystal ponies interests so they started asking questions. “Really? “Where?” “When?” “What did she look like?” “She has a dark blue mane with pink and purple highlights with a lavender coat!” “Wow!” After a while all of the crystal ponies were out and about in the yard of the orphanage everything was peaceful until.. “Greetings friends can sombra play too?” A young colt asked the group of foals. All of them said no and taunted him and left him laughing After a while twilight found the same colt from before and a filly with a light blue curly mane and a deep purple coat playing together. Finally twilight trotted up to the two and asked “can I play?” The two foals stopped playing and looked at her. Then the colt came up to her and said “sombra would like that.” Then the purple filly pointed at the young Alicorn and said “look! She’s an Alicorn!” “Wow.” Sombra said in awe. “What your name?” Twilight asked the purple filly “Oh! My names radiant hope! And what’s yours?” “Twilight.” Twilight responded After a long day of playing with her new friends, twilight went back to the castle and was acually quite tired and went to her room and fell fast asleep.
