In Celebration of a Hundred.

168. Ships of crystal

Some days, Cadence wondered what evil she had committed in a past life, for her to be given the crystal empire to rule. For months she had been preparing a speech for, and scheduling her appointments around, the single most important holiday ponies celebrated this far north.

The Aurora Picnic.

On paper, it sounded wonderful; a whole day spent in the company of loved ones, surrounded by others doing the same thing.

There was just one problem. Before she became princess, it had been held on a frozen lake. And now...well... boats made of crystal didn’t float.

Ah, but boats made of ice do! You mix it with sawdust and it's like armor, too. Maybe they need a navy now?

Maybe they just need to cast a spell on them?

An enchantment?

Cadence isn't Twilight, she doesn't have the plethora of spells she needs.
