Life Is Like a Flow

Chapter 3

        Morning hits like a block of marble. You fumble out of your mess of blankets and pillows, since you always move during your sleep. Your horn poked through several of the pillows releasing piles of feathers. It takes you some time but you finally bring the strength needed to perform you magic because you are lazy and lazy ponies take their time. The feathers all go back into the poked pillows and you sew them up using some thread and needle that your sister always put in your suitcase.

        *Thump*        Great, you just fell off your bed. Great job protector of the Royal Family. You rub your hoof against the bump formed on your head. Its too bad you don’t have any spells or ointment to fix it. You decide to put an illusion spell on the bump so no one sees it. Then a knock comes from the door downstairs.        You put on your sombrero as you walk out of your room and towards the stairs. As you come near the door, the pony knocks again. You open the door using magic and come face-to-face with a Royal guard. Some had survived staying at the castle or just mere luck. You look around the guard and see a small crowd of ponies have gathered around a pegasus drawn carriage. The guard force contains mostly Lunar guards. The guard in front of you is just a pegasus, as you turn you attention to him, he salutes.        “Sir, Private Scroll Wings”        “What is the meaning of this private, and who is on that carriage”        You ask with a stern voice.        “Sir, we are escorting Prince Penn Sill on a vacation in Ponyville.”        “Dismissed private.”        The pegasus turns around and returns to the guard force surrounding the carriage. As you walk out, you see the Prince smiling at you. The Prince is wearing a crown similar to the one Princess Luna wears, with a small moonstone encrusted on it. His coat has a nice shade of black with a tinge of orange. While his mane and tail is reddish with black trailing around the middle. Next to him is a familiar guard. You near the carriage and ask.        “My Prince, welcome to Ponyville, I find rather interesting you are vacationing in the same area as me.”        “Princess Luna wants me to go have a long break after the war. She says that this town is the perfect place to relax.”        “I also see that you have gathered quite a crowd,” you glance around the growing crowd of ponies, “I hope you do not plan on staying here for a long time?”        “Ahh, but I am commander, I’m sure a squad of guards can accompany me while the rest return back to Canterlot.”        “Well, while I can not interfere with the Princess’s command, I hope you have a nice stay here.”        As you run to leave you stop and look at the guard next to the Prince. He wears a suit of armour that all Lunar guard wears. From his insignia on his armour, he is a Lieutenant. He has a wooden spear with a metal tip, something similar to a halberd. His coat is a really white blue with his mane and tail having the same color but darker. As you continue your walk into the crowd and outside of the ponies, you hear whispers from them.        “... why do you think the Prince is here?”        “... I hope he visits my shop.”        “... can anyone explain to me why we are here?”        You just snicker until a very large boom comes over everypony. Everypony looks in the direction of Twilight Sparkle’s Library. You could sense the amount of magic and energy coming off from that direction. But what terrified you the most was how close the magic you could sense resembled when Discord broke free from his prison.        “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”        A scream was all that you heard before you took of running towards the library with a group of guards following after you.
