//------------------------------// // The Queen, A Letter, And Preparing For War. (Flashback Part 1) // Story: A Lost Soul Reborn: The Queen of Monsters and Diamonds // by Night-Moon-12 //------------------------------// The Diamond Kingdom 6:00 P.M. 10,000 Years Ago The sound of clopping hooves on stone and tile floor rang out in the silent halls. The creak of a door and the pony did step in, the light of sun and reflections shining on his dull black body. The hard hooves echoed as they hit the floor, the silence broken by the taps as he neared the beautiful mare upon the balcony over looking the courtyard. His blue-green eyes with the slit pupils eyed her gorgeous body. A golden dress was laced everywhere except her neck, hiding the gorgeous hue of her slender form. Her golden silk clothes stretched over her body, just barely hiding the beautiful chest fur underneath them as the sleeveless shirt showed ancient designs scrawled and sewed onto the lovely fabrics. A long skirt of the same design was covering her tail, not quite reaching her legs that were just staying there teasingly in front of his face. The fibres hung around her shoulders in perfection, just short of her graceful wings and showing off her odd horn and crown that jutted out and stood out from her golden cloaked body and bright mane. Her mane and tail were blue with purple and pink, lavender fur sparkled in the light of the setting sun. The stallion knew what to do to get the Queen of the kingdom all for himself, but he had to wait for her to finish her duty for the day. He stopped behind her, tapping his hoof to announce his presence to this beauty in front of him. "Ah... Metamorphosis, it has been too long." She whispered, her voice fine like silk. She ran her hoof along the floor in a circular motion, as if she had something to say and that she would regret saying it after she did. "Tonight, I ask you to carry out a message to the ruler of Transylmaneia, King Crimson Fang." Metamorphosis smiled at her, his eyes full of smugness that she did not detect. "No... your majesty." The Queen turned to her adviser with an eyebrow raised in question, Metamorphosis' eyes were locked onto the Diamond Queen as she walked towards him. "Why will you not deliver the message, Metamorphosis?" "Because... A message came from Transylmaneia earlier today." He brought out a scroll with his magic, a sickly green color. "What? Why didn't you tell me before?" The Queen asked her adviser as she took the scroll in her magic, then she unfurled it. "I did not wish to direct you from duties, My Queen." "I understand." she said before she began to read the scroll aloud. Dear Queen Twilight Amora Heart, I am sorry for sending this letter on such short notice, but I have had despret matters to attend to. War is on the door steps of meny kingdom, including my own. I've requested help from the other kingdoms, and none have answered my call. We've been fighting for two days straight. Our defences are falling fast, and many are dying. I've been wounded a bit but I can manage myself. Help we need help... King Crimson Fang of Transylmaneia "Metamorphosis. gather the troops. we're going to war." "But my lady, the Diamond Kingdom needs you here. Your subjects need your leadership. I need you here." Metamorphosis whispered the last bit under his breath. "Yes, I know that." Queen Twilight said with a nod. "But we cannot leave our fellow ponies to die, or let them be enslaved to ponies who kill without reason, nor for sport. I will not leave ponies to die or a another ruler." Twilight walked around Metamorphosis, and shouted. "Bring my amour!"
