It took six years before Prince Constellation and General Tiberius, finally, conquered all the squabbling tribes of the Southeast Islands. The Prince had once conquered them in the name of his father, a long time ago, but apparently it all fell to pieces when he took his nap.
He stood on the balcony of his old castle, it was still standing but it did need a lot of repair. Such a grand castle. He breathed in the warm sea air, and let it out when he almost swallowed a fly. It was good to be home. He turned and walked to his throne room, it was in near perfect condition. He walked over, and sat on his throne, it was very comfortable, it was made of clouds after-all. He sat there, doing nothing, for hours.
"GENERAL!!!" Prince Constellation bellowed. Soon enough the throne room doors flew open, and the General walked in, panting and sweating. "What took you so long, General!" The Prince asked.
"I........was.........on..........the.........other........side.........of.........the..........castle!" The General said in between pants.
"Ok,I suppose I can let your tardiness slide. Anyway I called you here because I'm bored and need to invade somepony!" The Prince said, overlooking the fact that his General was dieing of exhaustion. "Do you have any ideas who?"
"Prance?" The General suggested.
"No, their too weak." The Prince said.
General Tiberius rolled his eyes as he controlled his breathing. "The Griffon Empire?"
"Hmmmm, Yup, that sounds like a good place to start our world domination!" The Prince said, much to the dismay of his General.
"Prince, I'm going to tell you now, that this is a horrible idea, we DO NOT have enough troops or supplies, and our soldiers barely know how to hold their weapons. We are NOT ready for a war with the Griffons!" The General finished.
"Right, so we leave at-"
"Sunrise, yeah I know. I'll go tell the troops." The General complained.
"Good! Soon enough General, we will rule all the world!" The Prince said, laughing like a manic.
Soon enough, the Prince and the General were marching across the border of the Griffon Empire, an army close behind them. They were headed straight for the capitol, Heraklion. They only had a couple fights, but they had already taken some fatal casualties. They had decided to camp-out. "Alright General, so here's the plan. You are going to take the Pegasi up through the clouds, and when we on the ground attack the city, you flank them, and we fight them to the last pony or Griffon. Brilliant strategy right General?"
"Its a horrible strategy sir, but somehow it'll probably succeed." The General said, his voice filled with annoyance. And succeed it did, within four years the Griffon Empire crumbled, there were still remnants of the empire, but basically Prince Constellation ruled the land. Nopony really understands how.
"I did it General, I conquered the Griffon Empire." The Prince said proudly.
"Yeah, great job Prince, I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been there." General Tiberius said sarcastically. They sat around a table eating the doughnuts they had ordered, the Prince had a couple boxes of the 'Pony Joes Supreme', and the General had a couple boxes of chocolate glazed, chocolate filled, chocolate doughnuts with chocolate sprinkles.
"No offense intended, my Prince, but you hardly did anything." A voice said from the other side of the room. A shiver ran down both the Prince' and the General's spines. It was Mystca, lurking in the shadows, she was always lurking in the shadows.
"Mystca could you PLEASE stop lurking in the shadows!" The General screeched. Mystca walked out of the dark corner, and sat down next to the table.
"And what do you mean, I didn't do anything, I did a lot!" The Prince said.
"Thats not what I meant my Prince." She said with a sigh. "I meant that your soldiers did the work." Before he could speak she added. "And, yes I know that you did fight, I'm just saying that your soldiers basically did all the work."
"Oh. Well why didn't you say so in the first place." The Prince snapped childishly. After scarfing down another doughnut he let out a satisfied sigh. "Pony Joes makes the best doughnuts." He said mostly to himself. "Hey, we should have Pony Joes to open a shop here in the South East Islands Empire!"
"Thats a great idea! It'd be so much easier to get doughnuts, and cheaper too!" The General exclaimed happily. Mystca just laid her forehead against the table, these two were too much for her to handle. "Well Mystca? Its a great idea isn't it?" The General asked her.
"Sure, its a grand idea, absolutely marvelous, the best idea since the INVENTION of doughnuts!" She exclaimed sarcastically. She stood from her seat and walked away, mumbling something about 'where her life went wrong', and 'what did she do to deserve this' and some sort of curse's in a language neither the Prince nor the General could understand.
"Huh, I wonder what her problem is?" The Prince said. "Anyway, General, we need another place to invade."
The General sighed. "Equestria?" He asked.
"Thats a good idea, I'm glad I thought of it."
