Friendship is an Open Wound

" Darling, when we first gave birth to you, we knew that you were to rule after us." Celestia's mother stated.

" Yes. And you need a king to help you in that rule." Her father chimed in, his eyes sympathetic to her daughter's tricky situation.

" But-but he's just my good friend, father!" She sobbed. Celestia knew well what happened when her suitor came. She then had to stop going to school and train to run the whole country.

"He's not even an alicorn. What happens if he dies? She woefully inquired.

" That answer will come when he is the most powerful unicorn in Equestria. Of course, there are two ways he can turn in his destiny. He will decide." He mother calmly said, almost sending shivers down Celestia's body. She ran out, not bearing anymore.

Luna was jealous. She sat on her cushions, looking into the night sky she rose. Her stars twinkled and lit the oasis that most feared. No one payed her attention. Everyone obsessed over Tia, and her suitor friend. She buried her hoof into the pillow, trying to hide where the kids at the academy used to punch her. She was called useless constantly. But she survived. She wished she wasn't royalty, that her talent was like her sisters. An elaborate talent, like raising the sun. She began to sob, pulling her razor out again, rolling up her sleeve.
