"I'm not a bucking princess!" Flurry yelled at her mother. "Me being an alicorn does not make me a princess"

"Yes, it does Flurry." Cadence answered, trying to calm her down. "All alicorns are princesses."

"You and the others all earned there wings or horn or whatever! I was born with these stupid things, I didn't do anything to become an alicorn!"

"Flurry, when you take over-"

"You're bucking immortal, Mom!"

"But I will retire in the future."

"You don't even know if I'd still be alive!"

"You're an alicorn Flurry."

"But not an ascended one!"

"Flurry Heart, being an alicorn makes you a princess."

Flurry Heart just growled at her mother and stomped away.

Cadence sighed. "Maybe she'll calm down."





Later that night, Flurry Heart came up with an idea. Sneaking out of her room, making sure to avoid the crystal guards, she made her way to a specific closet that always questioned her, full of gardening and work like tools.

"Don't know why we have gardening stuff in the Crystal Empire"

She goes to one of the shelves and grabs an axe with her magic.

Using her magic to soundproof the room, she aims the axe at the base of one of her wings. Swinging down, she screamed in agony from the pain, blood spraying from the gash she made. She continued until the first wing was off, falling to the floor in a puddle of blood.

Panting from the pain, Flurry began to prepare the axe blade on the other wing.

Once the other wing was off, she now had her horn to deal with.

Aiming with the hardest swing she can muster, the horn was gone, cutting off the flow of magic. Flurry's screams of pain was heard all through out the castle, waking her parents and alerting the guards. They rush to where Flurry's screams were coming from.

Finding blood coming from under the door, they enter to find Flurry Heart panting, wingless and hornless, sitting in her own blood, with a bloody axe on the floor, and with her wings and horn laying there also in a puddle of blood.

"Flurry Heart! What did you do?!" Cadence asked in shock.

Flurry just turned to them, smiling.
