Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Twilight Sparkle, a disciplined student of Celestia. Formely. Now became a Princess herself after the events of completing what Star Swirl the Bearded did not complete: Magic of Friendship. Everypony knows her and everypony bows before her. Her duty being a Princess? She still has a lot to learn from it. Especially how she can get used to it.

Mostly, she doesn't wear her crown nor wear anything royal-ish outside. She just blends in with normal ponies like her friends. Although she still has problems on how to get around as a newly crowned princess two weeks after. But yesterday? the quake? That puts her to something of a strangled position. Everypony is neck tied. Nothing would avert what happened. But she thinks so, because she has the power to do it.

"Princess?" A Servant knocked on her door. Where she was. "Princess, do you want me to get something for you?"

Well for the newly crowned princess, maybe. Although it's freakishly annoying to expect that everypony is serving for her. She's not a type of a pony to become a princess. However, written by a legacy not so long ago. She just stood still on the balcony of her room. Looking at the view of Canterlot and it's surroundings. She can barely see Ponyville up here.

"Oh. No. Nothing. I'm fine. You uhh..." She paused for a second. "Oh wait I changed my mind, uhmm.." Again, she's not sure of what she's going to say as a princess. "Can you get that professor? The old one?"

"Sure. Your highness.." Said by the servant as she's heard, leaving.

Another day that's too hard for Twilight Sparkle to handle.

Codex

Gen and Angelica Frost continued to browse on the old books about the Earthquake Myth. Researches, dates, post, timelines, events. Nothing. Creating a pile of books that were thrown to the table nearby.

"D-Dear! Don't rush in to something that doesn't exist!"

The old stallion could care about Angelica's patience. But all that history on her mind, placed. Just like an arrow looping again to hit inside her brain with knowledge. The blue maned mare could only do nothing but to haste and find answers of whatever is written behind. Or, drawn.

"Time is running short," Said the blue maned mare on a hurry. As she levitates every books and launched it back to the table. "I need answers and I need them now. There's always a possibility of another quake."

"Oh, dear. Not by remarks-" The door of the large estate house of Gen sounds by the doorbell functioned. "Bricked bollocks, what is it again?"

He hastily approaches the door and looks through the security panel.

It's the Castle Guards.

He opens it immediately. Not by a rush, just a hunch. "Y-Yes? What do you need?"

"Princess Twilight Sparkle requests your presence immediately to the castle Professor. Orders are given for your immediate presence. 100% No Delay." A Unicorn Guard, gray and armored with a rank of a Sergeant said.

"Oh? Right now? Good Heavens! I'm busy! Can you tell-"

The Unicorn Guards immediately approached on the sides of the professor. Holding him for escort. "Like I said Professor, no delays are to be given." Said by the Sergeant, just as the blue mane mare goes outside.

"H-Hey! What are you doing?"

"Can I at least bring my associate with me?" Gen asked, looking at the guard's sharp eyes. "Whatever the great princess needs. I cannot go without my friend."

"Ugh," The Sergeant gave a head signal to his two guards to let the old Professor to be free from their tight grasp. Ponies these days should stop requesting if they can't go. A Reply to his daily annoyance from other ponies. "Very well, follow me."

The serious moods of the guards stricts the two from making any movements that are unwanted, unattended and mostly unexpected. Their sides but the back are already covered by the Guards. And whatever foolish attempt to escape from the royal's orders is already an add of either guilt or second time of force. Gen, not like any other professors. Is not pleased to be meeting with Canterlot's Science division.

"I hope this good charming Princess doesn't take the talk so long. I have alot of work to do." Said the old professor. Calm and response to the guards that he has other things to attend to.

"The Princess will choose if time would take short or long Professor." The Sergeant says.

He does have a point. Angelica thought, agreeing by the terms of conversation with a Princess. They won't know how long or short the talk with a princess is. Well, depending with the topic or matters that either anypony given by it's choice of doing or not doing anything. But when it's about science, it'll take time before the scientists will make sense about what they say to the princess.

Well, they hoof'ed to the castle already for a few minutes walk. Since it's not far from the estate. Guards opening the large gate of the Castle for the Sergeant and his guards. Protecting the ponies by escort. Inside the castle, escorted to Twilight's personal room. As two guards opens the door.

"Not you." The Sergeant stops Angelica to come in with the Professor. Since she's just a friend accompanying him as the guess from the guards. "The Professor only."

They shut the door for the two ponies inside to talk. And just leaving Angelica Frost to walk around and sit by a nearby spot she's comfortable in. Piece of hay loaders...

Princess Twilight Sparkle's room

Gen sees the new Princess Twilight Sparkle herself on the balcony. Watching over the city all day and night. Waiting for Celestia to return. Her duties stated by the guards, given by the responsibility she is given that is BIG. She looked back inside and saw the professor she requested to talk to.

"By Celestia's shape," Gen bows down to the new princess herself. "How may I be of service?"

"Uhh...."

"I see, not used of royalty are you princess?" Gen noticed.

Twilight nods. As she's unsure of what she's holding now. It's a threshold of Equestria's duty she's holding on. "Can you just call me Twilight Professor? I'm not really used on this Princess calling thing yet."

"Uhmm.. Of course Twilight. What do you need me for?"

First question. Added. "Something. Involves with Science." A Basic topic to recall by a smart princess. Not to mention that kind of topic would take a little while to finish. Angelica was right. "About the Earthquake. The Science Division mentioned it to me. The quake so far is strange. It was not caused by the planet's change."

There goes my point.... thought by Gen. Knowing that something caused to force the planet to make a quake. "Do you know that something? Like a machine Twilight?"

"That's the part that I don't know Professor..." Says by the purple alicorn. "But I guess that I charted in everything piece by piece. The Magnitude seems almost in the height of 8.1. And Canterlot's did not take any major damage at all. At least that four seconds quake was quite the thing that was able to make everypony to fix the repairs. Thus, there was no shift or no changes on the land. Due to the crust being an impact chart as a problem."

"Smart..." Gen said. "I do have a friend that can equalize that investigation. We were connecting a myth quake and the quake right now that was practically equal as mentioned by the story."

"Oh? The Quake 800 years ago?"

"Mhm." Gen agreed. He opened the door that leads to the corridors and where the guards and the blue maned mare waiting. "Angelica! Would you come in dear?"

Finally... She thought. Ending that waiting there that didn't even last five minutes of her impatience. At least that wasn't too long. Too short added. She came in to the room of the new princess. She quickly gives a surprise look. Not knowing it would be Twilight Sparkle. And not either Celestia, or Luna.

"Angelica?"

She only smiled to see Twilight Sparkle. Pretends to smile?
