My Name is Twilight Sparkle
I live in Ponyville, Equestria
I am the Element of Magic, the sixth Element of Harmony
I am an ex- princess of Equestria
I have been framed for a crime I didn’t commit
I have no more friends
I am locked in the dungeon of the Chrystal Empire
I have no chance of escape, unless…
No, no that can’t happen. I refuse to let that happen. I don’t trust myself out there. I can't be exiled.
I don’t know how it happened or exactly what happened, all I know is that I’m innocent…I think. I don’t trust my brain anymore. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself. I have nothing.
It all started the day of…well I don’t know, it’s still a great blur. I woke and had breakfast with Spike, I went to the Everfree forest to overlook the renovation of the castle I was soon to move into, and when I got there I walked through the door that was now standing there, and everything went black.
I didn’t feel anything press against my face. I didn’t smell anything unusual. I don’t know what happened
I couldn’t hear or see anything. All I could feel was excoriating pain from my new wings. Then it stopped. My eyes fluttered…well not open, they were already open somehow. I could feel the cold air as it rushed by…it looked like I was in a flying carriage, but not the royal ones like I’m used to, a cold iron cage supported by two guards. It was hard to tell who they were, it was pitch black outside, Luna must have risen the moon really early…or a lot more time had passed then I thought.
I couldn’t tell where we were going at the time; it was the night after all. Soon I saw the familiar silhouette of Canterlot Castle, the white and purple spires clearly recognizable against the starry backdrop. I wondered why we were heading there; the guards wouldn’t respond to me.
The wind felt good and I decided to unfold my wings, I tried but something felt off. I looked down to inspect them, that is, if they were there, the extra limbs that I had earned weren’t protruding from my back like they should be, they were just gone! I was so confused and I kept trying desperately to find out what was going on.
“Please tell me something! Anything!” I would plead. But the flying guards stayed silent. I repeated my questions over and over again until finally we landed.
My fellow princesses Celestia and Luna greeted me at the gates, hard firm expressions on their faces. “Oh thank goodness you’re here! I don’t know what’s going on! Why am I in a cage? What happened?” I asked. They said nothing, turned around at the same time and walked back into the castle, my cage chariot followed without word.
Finally we arrived in the throne room, and the sun god spoke, “Twilight Sparkle you have been stripped of your princess hood on account of-“
“WHAT!” I yelled
“I will not tolerate her anymore. The despicable scum,” Luna muttered with a face that could kill. “Take her to the Dungeon! How dare she plot against us, trying to ruin my night and my sister’s sun.”
“What? Celestia, Luna, please!” I gasped. Just as the doors swung open to omit me to the Dungeon, Cadence walked in, and beside her my brother; Shining Armour.
I didn’t get to hear anything the four other royals said. I was dragged out of the room to quick. I didn’t try to struggle against the guards and metal bars. I was in complete shock. I couldn’t move I was so confused. I got thrown in a cell, not a normal cell, like most other prisoners, I got a magic proof cell. My magic couldn’t work in there.
I only was in the magic proof cell for a couple days I think. I had no way for my internal clock to orient day from night. I wasn’t starved, food came in every once in a while, but it was still lonely, and my mind was riddled with questions. Soon I was told some hopeful news. A female guard opened my door.
“You will have a trial in three hours’ time. Prepare yourself; you will be appointed an attorney of law.” She said. The nameless guard closed the door leaving me back in the darkness.
A couple of minutes later the door opened again, this time a Pegasus stallion walked in. “Hello, I am Gavel, I will be your attorney. I need you to tell me the truth of happened and why it did.”
“Hi, Twilight…oh wait, you probably know that already…” I said, blushing.
“I need to know what happened in detail,” he said getting right to the point.
“That’s the thing I don’t know. I really don’t? Isn’t there anything you know?”
“Well. This doesn’t really help your situation. I do know that you teamed up with Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings an-“
“I WHAT? No, no this isn’t happening. I never did that it hasn’t been two days this is just a dream. I will wake up soon…”
The attorney backed away, me still muttering things. Sadly I didn’t wake up, it was time for trial.
