> How Our Queen Fell > by SkyHunter62 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1-Where the Queen learns her place > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "AGH! Stop it, I can't take this anymore!!" The female voice echoed through her own room, voice which belonged to Sunset Shimmer, formerly she was a bully and most popular girl in Canterlot High, however after her defeat and redemption, people still talk badly about her, and she feels it, like a tingling in your head that just won't go away no matter what you do. Turning on the TV,a neat little announcement came on during the News break- "Do you struggle daily with wrong things you done in the past? Or maybe you just want to talk it out and relax? Look no Further, Eden's Garden is here for you! I, Eden, am a certified hypnotherapist, and i shall help you with anything we can, book an appointment with me by calling the number below! And remember, in this paradise, no one will be there to tell you what is forbidden!"- As the announcement finished and the news continued, Sunset sighed, at first giving no mind to it, however,that man who called himself Eden, he had something about him... His voice was soothing to Sunset's ears, it made her relax, even got her a little dizzy and happy,she wasted no more than a mere second, and before she knew it, she picked her phone and dialed the number. "Hello? Eden's Garden? I'd like to book an appointment with Doctor Eden..." Right in the next morning, the sun was shining bright, the sky was a clear blue, but a possible signal for a later storm, Sunset Shimmer, wasting no time, wore her typical outfit and made her way to the place she marked on her GPS, it wasn't as far as she thought. Arriving in front of the place,which looked like a really normal house with the exception of a big outdoor in front written "Eden's Garden, no snakes allowed" a good pun for those who know the story... She rings the bell and a voice is heard through the intercom. "Dr.Eden, How may i help you?" That soothing smooth voice once again was heard,this time it was even more intense to her. Sunset felt somewhat dizzy listening to it but paid no mind, maybe she woken up too early? "Hi, Sunset Shimmer,i have an appointment today" Said the girl, quite certain she made the right decision in her own little head, without even having any reviews or whatsoever to hang on to,she had to be sure this was right "Ah yes, yes... Come right in!" And with that the door unlocked and the doctor was standing behind it,his skin was white, his eyes were amber colored and his hair was short and leaned back, like if he spent tons of gel in only one day, he wore a white coat with his name written on the right sleeve,alongside a white shirt, denim pants and to finish it off, a pair of unbranded sneakers, as if bought from retail "Thank you..." Sunset sighs and walks right in,into the reception room, there were three rows of blue chairs,matching the white floor and dark blue walls and in the end of a corridor, there was his room, very dim lightning, only a desk and two chairs,the room was decorated with grandfather's clocks, pendulum clocks and pocket watches from various colors Without any further questions, Eden makes his way to his desk and awaits for the girl to sit down in front of him, and so she does, sitting down and "Admiring" the decoration in the room, a mix of fear and admiration in her eyes as she looks around "Now, miss Shimmer" his voice broke through the silence, catching her attention. "What brought you here?" he said already grabbing a golden pocket watch. "I uh... L-let's say i screwed up with some people...and now they just won't leave me alone! I hear them talking behind my back, saying shit behind my back about me! I just wanna forget all of this!" Her sudden rage startled Eden. "Woah... uh, o-okay... We can sort this through... But first allow me to enlighted the mood..." He opens a drawer on his desk and pulls an incense, it was green colored and without even lighting it up, it smelled really good. The doctor then lights it up with his lighter and leaves on a small base to hold it up without burning anything on the desk, the smell was outstanding, noticed by the sudden change in the girl's expression "Uh... w-what is that...Sm-smell...?" Barely a protest, Sunset couldn't bring herself to even challenge the situation, as she took whiffs, the student began to slump on her chair, while the doctor made his advance. "That's it...just relax dear...no need to deny anything that's happening..." He lets the pocket watch he held dangle before Sunset's eyes,and Eden makes it swing slowly left and right, Sunset couldn't bring herself to look away, too deep to protest anything, both her eyes and nose were being assaulted by incredible sensations at the same time, both different, yet both would lead to the same destination... "Back and forth...back and forth" Eden keeps repeating to Sunset's ear, making it hard for her to focus on listening anything too, her senses attacked by the hypnotic patterns from everywhere, not that she could mind as her eyes slowly began to flutter close, her eyelids started feeling extremely heavy, summed up by the lack of sleep she had. "B-back...f-forth..." The girl with red and yellow hair repeats stuttering to form a sentence, and with that, her mind caved in: Her eyes shut close as she slumped on the chair, blissfully unaware of anything the doctor could do to her, she felt inside like that single act of closing her eyes was the rightest choice she ever made on her entire life. "That's good...now tell me,why did you come here again, Miss Shimmer...?" Eden asked, now certain she wouldn't lie about anything. "I... Robbed a crown... F-from the other world... And tried to... R-rule this one... But I... I was defeated... Now i s-suffer the consequences..." She gave light spasms from her chest, as if the memories made her suffer. Taking note, the doctor laid his hand on her shoulder. "Hey... It's alright, I knew from the beginning... Why did you lie to me?" "I... don't want to...relive those memories..." A single tear drop fell down her cheek, Eden felt her anguish and decided to help her, however, not quite the way she would expect.... > 2-Where the Queen Falls > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, I want you to breathe in, slowly... That's it... In... and now, release... Good, again... In... And out... Repeat this, at your own pace... no need to think it through... Now... I want you to imagine yourself lying down in a grassy field... With whatever clothing you so desire... Looking up at the stary sky... So pretty, is it not? So calming to look at... So relaxing... So at ease... You want to be at ease... You want to relax... To not have to think of anything unecessary... I can think for you... Slowly... Let's descend... Deeper... And deeper... Suddenly... A star from the sky disappears... Along with it, a thought that was stressing you all day... No need to fret about it... It'll all be okay... And Pop... Another thought gone, just like that... It is so easy to let go of those thoughts as the stars vanish from the sky, and your troubles vanish from your head right along... Pop, Pop, Pop... The sky is almost clear now... only two stars left... I shall tell you what those are for now... You shall forget anyway... Pop... The star resembling your memories of what brought you here, gone... You don't need it, you don't need to think why you were so stressed in the first place... Until suddenly... Pop... the one with your name in it, gone, fear not... I shall give you a new name, but for now... just going deeper and deeper into trance... You're doing so well... Now, your new name... Your new name shall be "Queen", and whenever you are called by that name by me, you shall return to this state of pure relaxation and joy... And whenever you hear your normal name, you shall awaken from this state, all the stars will be back in that sky, and no memory of what happened to you shall remain in your head... Do You Understand, Queen?
