Perspective Changes Everything

Chapter Two

I had to act quickly, lest be caught by the guards, so I shifted forms into a white pegasus, with a cyan and gray Mohawk. I noticed my armor was still on, but that was a minor detail. I regretted leaving my sister's body behind, but sadly, there were more important things at stake. Like international war, for example.

Since the guards made no attempt to follow me, I assumed they sent an alert off...somewhere, most likely Canterlot and the towns dotting the way there. I knew I'd have to switch forms in order to be able to sneak into the castle, especially at a time like this. I formulated my new disguise while flying.

Canterlot, Outside the Royal Castle

As was expected, there was a pair of guards at every corner, more so as you came closer to the castle.

"C'mon," I whispered to myself,"you've made it this far, you can surely pass by these guards!" I swallowed and walked up to the guards.

"I-I'm here t-to see the Princesses? It's very impor-ortant." Dammit! Why was my voice wavering! This was not the time for a mess up.

"You'll have to wait your turn, there's a line to your right." He gestured towards the right. It seemed to stretch on for miles. I scratched the back of my neck, wondering if there was a way around it. And then I had an idea.

"Would I be able to gain higher priority if I had information regarding changelings?" I said. At 'changelings' I had the guards' complete attention.

"Information about changelings, huh? What sort of information would you be carrying? And if it's vital enough, we'll relay it to the Princess for you." I almost regretted saying what I said, but it had to be done, for the greater good.

"There's a changeling invasion headed this way. As we speak. To Canterlot." As if on cue, a black cloud formed in the distance.

Author's Note:

Well, it's not the best, but I rewrote it like four times, each about one thousand words. And yeah...bear with me...thanks.

Uhh not sure if I want to read it anymore. First strange acting of Celestia , naive acting of them overall (yea I won't backstab you just because), OP main character (bleeeh), using real units name and overall is damn fast paced.
