Chapter 9: The story of the future princess
No one's POV
They all walked towards the living room with large couches and bean bags.
"I called you all for a meeting for 2 reasons" Princess Celestia started "One is I want to tell you all a story-"
"Yay!!! Story time" Pinkie pie said excitedly jumping up and down landing on her belly with her front hooves on her face.
"Pinkie, don't interrupt the princess" Rarity said annoyed.
"Sorry, Princess" Pinkie apologized.
"It's quite alright Rarity. But if you don't mind I would like you all to get closer." Celestia said "Including you all" She said looking towards Soarin, his family and Shinning Armor. They all sat closer with Celestia being in front of them and a fireplace behind her.
"Okay so what are the 2 things you want to tell us Princess?" Spitfire curiously asked.
"Well one is-"
"One is that it's the story of a princess with a prophecy and two is to ask for permission" Cecilia interrupted "I'm sorry Loku ammi but you were taking an awfully lot of time"
"Cecilia this is not how a princess should act" Cadence scolded.
"Okay and Soarin gets to do whatever the things he wants" Cecilia grumbled to the fact she has to act like a princess.
"Just shut up and let Loku ammi do the talking" Roseline suggested in a bit of aggressive way. "Continue Loku ammi" she said calmly.
"Okay so my niece just told you the 2 things I was going to tell you so let's just start with the story:
Asher was the youngest member of the Skies family, and my sister, Princess Iduna, wished for him to have a godmother. She chose an Aeatrian woman named Elara Lysandra, a friend from a neighboring kingdom, different from Enchancia, where Soarin was born. At that time, Elara already had a son, and Soarin was only three years old when Elara was named his godmother. Three years later, Elara had an unexpected daughter, whom she named Angeline.
Little did they know, there was an ancient prophecy that foretold:
'In the time of twilight's grace, when kingdoms rise and fall, the youngest Prince of the Skies shall be bound by fate to an Aeatria-born godmother. She shall have a daughter, destined to wear the crown and take the throne as princess of a land in need. When the age of 22 is reached, the prince shall train her, guiding her through the trials that prepare a ruler's heart and mind. Yet as the coronation nears, a shadow shall descend—darkness shall rise to challenge the princess's worth. Only by transforming this dark magic into a force of good shall she prove herself worthy and claim victory over the night. Thus, the kingdom shall see a true Queen ascend, born from light's embrace and darkness's redemption.'
My mother, Galaxia, revealed the prophecy to us, but we kept it from Asher and Angeline. Asher Skies, Angeline Lysandra, and her older brother, Cassian Lysandra, were childhood best friends, and we thought it best to protect them from the weight of such a destiny. However, not telling Angeline the truth turned out to be our greatest mistake."
"The biggest mistake, I'd still cry for what happened until I found her again" Soarin (I'm just gonna call him Asher) said
"Found who Soarin?" Fluttershy asked out of curiousity.
"You'll understand later on" Agnaar retorted.
"Come on... Why do you leave us with a question mark Soarin? Just tell it!!" Fleetfoot grumbled.
He looked towards them and said "You know how I love leaving you all with question without answering them?"
"Yeah? Like all the time Ash" Cadence chuckled.
"Yeah let's just continue the story" Asher said looking back at Celestia.
"Yeah sister, continue" Luna said excitedly.
"ooooo... I can't wait to find out what will happen" Pinkie pie said excitedly.
"Yeah let's listen so that we can know." Rainbow Dash said rolling her eyes.
"*Cough**cough* Well, let's continue, shall we?" Celestia said, regaining her composure. "Those two were always drawn to adventure. Asher taught Angeline to be bold and embrace every challenge, while she showed him how to accept and love his own flaws. They were inseparable, partners in all sorts of mischief. The two of them would visit Equestria from time to time, using Cassian's help and their magical staffs to open a portal and travel here."
'Wait a portal?" Twilight asked.
"Don't worry Twi, it's not an alternative universe" Luna reassured.
"Okay that's reassuring"
"Anyway, one day they were out on an adventure:
Flashback Soarin's POV
"Come on, I'll race you to the gorge!" I shouted as I rode my pegasus, with Cassian, Angeline, and my sister Agnes close behind me. We were in the forest, racing through the trees with our Pegasi. Angeline and her pegasus, Night Star, had taken the lead. (Just to clarify, Enchancia is a world much like ours, except the people have magic.)
The gorge was quickly approaching, and Angeline and I were neck and neck, both determined to win. And then...
She won.
She actually won.
Unbelievable! But before I could even process losing, Angeline suddenly struggled to slow down. She couldn't stop in time and tumbled over the edge of the gorge.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Her scream echoed as she fell. None of us were quick enough to catch her.
"Nooooooo!" we all yelled in unison, watching in horror as she hit the ground below. We descended cautiously into the gorge, hearts pounding with dread. Angeline lay there, unconscious, blood trickling from her head. Night Star's wing was injured but not seriously. The sight of Angeline, so still and fragile, filled me with fear.
Cassian hurriedly scooped her up, and we rushed her to the nearest hospital. The doctors' grim diagnosis came swiftly: she was in a coma. Panic and guilt gnawed at me. What were we going to do? Just then, a dark, oppressive magic filled the hospital room. A sinister voice echoed above us, "I am coming for you... to ruin your future queen."
I couldn't bear the thought of losing Angeline or exposing her to more danger. I wished desperately that I had told her to be careful. To protect her, I took all her memories of Enchancia using a memory stone, erasing any trace of her life here. Then we brought her to Equestria, where we hid her true identity to keep her safe.
Their entire family took on new names: Cassian became Rainbow Blitz, Elara became Windy Whistle, Thalorian (Rainbow Dash's father) became Bow Hothoof and we renamed Angeline to Rainbow Dash—a nickname I had given her long ago, just like she used to call me Soarin.
Time skip to the present Soarin's POV
"Wait Rainbow Dash is the Princess??" Pinkie Pie screamed.
"I am WHAT???" Rainbow Screamed.
"Oh MY GOSH,' Fleetfoot exclaimed, "No way!"
"This can't be happening, my best friend is a future-" Rarity said and fainted
"Not again" Applejack said annoyed "I am happy for you sugarcube" She said feeling proud of Rainbow Dash.
"Yeah me too Rainbow Dash, if nothing I support you" Fluttershy said
"Yeah me three, I can't believe my best friend is the best is going to be queen" Pinkie said excitedly.
"Wait but the prophecy said that the Prince is supposed to train the princess?" Twilight asked a bit confused.
"Wait so that means??" Spitfire gasped "Soarin has to train her??"
"My ship has set sailed" Fleetfoot said excitedly.
"I can train but we need permission from Spitfire and your friends to let you go so we can train for 5 months." I said looking towards them, they looked so sad.
"Let her go for 5 months, why?? Can't we come?" Pinkie pie said a little upset like she is going to cry.
"Don't worry we'll give her about a week to say her goodbyes" Cadence said. "Don't worry, Soarin will take good care of her"
"Yeah, you better" Fleetfoot said with a wink. How annoying can she get? I looked towards Rainbow and she looks confused at the same time confused.
"You'll may go to sleep now, it's already late" Luna said "Sweet dreams, Soarin will show you to your rooms, where your luggage are kept"
"Come on this way" I lead. Their rooms are very much closer together, I mean they're down the same hallway. "Well here they are, sweet dreams"
"Goodnight" Twilight said while yawning and going inside her room.
"Night" Rarity said in a singing tone while going inside
"Sweet dreams" Applejack said
"Don't let the bed bugs bite" Pinkie said
"See you in the morning guys" Fluttershy said looking towards me and Rainbow.
"Well good night Soarin" Rainbow said with a small smile.
"Night" I said while she went inside. I felt my cheeks heating up as I remembered her cute smile. I smiled and went into my room.
