Princess Skyla is eager to rule Equestria, but Twilight chose Luster Dawn instead.
Now, Skyla wants her revenge, will she take down her once cherished aunt, or shall she lose to "friendship"?
Find out in this story, based on my theory of who Queen Opaline is, which you should totally check out, btw.

None of this can ever be canon of course. Precisely because Skyla isn't an actual character anymore. Not with Flurry Heart. It was okay otherwise.

All in all, not half bad for your first story. It's also nice to something else besides the whole "Opaline's Luster Dawn but EVIL" trope.

Yeah, I realise that Princess Skyla is a non canon character, and this story is based on a theory that I made not long ago, so it might not be true anyway. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!

This whole story could've fit on one chapter. Chapters usually have an overarching narrative, the narrative that you wrote could've fit on one.

"Who do you think will be Aunt Twilight's heir?", she asks, "I think it'll be Luster Dawn, and Dad thinks it'll be Mother. Who do you think it'll be?". I think for a couple of seconds, and then I make my theory.

WIAT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT


How much time has passed?

Mom replies, "I totally agree with you there, dear. Luster has been struggling with those new wings of hers!". Before we know it, we're outside of the throne room and it's still as grand as all four of us remember! As they open, we catch a glimpse of our beautiful aunt on her throne and her gorgeous student by her side. When she looks up from her important documents and sees us, she wears a large grin on her face.

Whats she the princess of? Don't leave out these questions

"Well, you're considered, the 'wrong hooves', let's say. I have a feeling, that you won't use the powers of an alicorn responsibly. Basically, you would use it for your own selfish purposes.". My eyes widen in shock and then scrunch up in anger.

WOW. Way to go to say that to someone's FACE. Admitting you don't trust them

"I know that, but I just became an alicorn and I never wanted to rule Equestria, I can't even fly properly; I basically stole your dreams!", she cries.

Just like Twilight

I am contemplating that moment of my good friend and I, many moons ago, as I sit on my throne in the Dark Castle, which was once Canterlot Castle. Just then, I get a call from Misty, via her mirror compact. "Opaline? Opaline?", I hear her small, squeaky voice from my magic projection from my water.

So you think she DESTROYED Canterlot?

A month has gone by and we are back on the train to Canterlot, once again. I am really happy for Luster Dawn, but we all know that she still isn't ready to rule Equestria. As Mom and Dad talk about it, I'm staring out of the window, and Flurry is lost in her own ditzy thoughts. "I don't understand why Twilight would choose her to rule. I mean, Luster is a good pony, but from the scrolls I've received from her, she still lacks leadership skills and is still struggling to fly.", Mom says.

This isn't like Twilight at all.

"Perhaps, Misty, perhaps.", I tell her. "I'll have a think about it, my dear minion. It's not like you'll ruin the plan!". And then, I start laughing. Not the good, genuine kind. It's an evil cackle, that shows that my plans are not jeopardised by anyone! As I keep laughing, I hear Misty laughing as well. I stop and she does too.

Misty won't like hearing that.

"The dress is beautiful, my friend.", I simply say. Mother gives me a dirty look and pulls me aside.

"Did you seriously just forget our talk on the train, Skyla?", she demands, quietly, of course. I stare at her blankly and say;

Whats wrong with complimenting the dress!?

This is so comfusing

When you said that this isn’t like Twilight, I saw your point there. When I wrote that, I was thinking that because Twilight has been ruling Equestria for quite a long time now, she could be more firmer than she was in Friendship is Magic

When you said that Misty won’t like being called a minion, it adds on to the fact that Opaline is abusive to her.

And when you asked what was wrong with complimenting the dress, I get that, you’re right. I should have been more specific in terms of her tone of voice when she complimented the dress.

It’s set a few years after Friendship is Magic’s last episode, when Luster was first introduced

This isn't like Twilight at all.
Forcing Luster to immediately be a ruler, Just saying in Opaline's face;

'I don't trust you, so I won't give you the title'

Besides, it’s just based on my theory about Opaline, so none of it happened anyway, the story has no significant moral, or meaning to it. Just saying. I hope that you did enjoy it though, and I wish you a merry Christmas! 🎄🎄

My eyes widen in shock and then scrunch up in anger.

Wow, that's very direct.
But at least she's upfront and honest about it.
Also, I'm kinda getting Sunset Shimmer vibes here.

I keep running until I am out of the castle because I need air after what I just heard. Aunt Twilight considers me evil, but I'm not. Why would she say that?

Much, much later:

"I, Princess Skyla of the Crystal Empire, pledge to have a cold heart for the rest of my life and feel nothing but resentment to every creature.", I say to myself in my head.
I give Luster the warmest of embraces after I pledge to be evil just to prove my selfish aunts' point.

:twilightsmile:: "See? I told you!"

"You're right, Misty. I guess I'll have to send one of my allies to Maretime Bay, to spy on those pathetic little ponies.", I say.
"Maybe I could go back to Maretime Bay for you?", asks Misty, giving me a smile that implies that she wants to go. I roll my eyes and reply;
"Perhaps, Misty, perhaps.", I tell her. "I'll have a think about it, my dear minion. It's not like you'll ruin the plan!".

Misty: "Exactly! You can count on me!"
Opaline: "...."

And then, I start laughing. Not the good, genuine kind. It's an evil cackle, that shows that my plans are not jeopardised by anyone! As I keep laughing, I hear Misty laughing as well. I stop and she does too.
"If you're going to do a maniacal laugh with me, Misty, at least be in sync.", I tell her. "Ready? Now, mwahahahah!".
We laugh again, and Misty is now in sync.
"That's better.", I think, whilst laughing of course!

Evil laughing is very important! You won't be considered a serious villain if you can't get your laughter right.

Hope you've enjoyed the story! :pinkiehappy:
The sequel shall come soon!

I did enjoy the story!
And I already look forward to the sequel!


This story reminded me of those two pictures:

Would they fit into your theory, or do would Skyla/Opaline act more from the shadows?

Hello PonyDragon
I’m glad that you did enjoy the story and I hope that you’ll enjoy the sequel, or as I like to call it; Part Two!

And the pictures do fit into my theory quite well actually!
