“Cadence! How much longer?”
“Not much longer.”
“You already said that on the train ride.”
The pink alicorn laughs gently at her adopted sister, whom is currently blindfolded, and being gently guided by Crevdar, whom has a protected wing wrapped around her form. “Well, this time it’s true. We’re only a few feet away.”
The train ride here was long, neither Crevdar nor Cadance telling Eclipse where they were going.
Eclipse’s ears twitch as the sound of other ponies, the sunlight warm on her body as she huffs. “And why, pray tell, do I have to be blindfolded?”
Crevdar chuckles. “Because it’s a surprise.”
Eclipse pouts slightly. “But I wanna know now! I don’t like being blindfolded!”
Cadance smiles, stopping as Crevdar and Eclipse stop beside her. “Well, we’re here anyway.”
“So I can take off the blindfold?”
“You can take it off.”
Eclipse’s horn glow red as she undoes the blindfold, letting it slip off her face as her magic fades, blinking in the sun light, her eyes widening at the sight before her.
Crevdar looks to Eclipse. “I know it’s not like before, but...”
“No... no...” Tears form in Eclipse’s eyes as she smiles. “It’s perfect.”
Cadance smiles. “Welcome home, sister.”
Crevdar smiles, lightly nuzzeling Eclipse as she laughs, happy tears falling down her face. “Welcome to the Crystal Empire, Princess.”
