My Little Pony: Friendship is Destiny

With a sigh, SilverStar Flame paced the room as she collected some things to pack, and take with her to Ponyville. She started last night, and got the majority of the packing done. She just became too tired to finish, so she went to bed. Now, she is up a bit earlier than planned to finish the job. Still, she knew by the time she finished, the carriage will be ready, or will be pulling in.

"Uh, Star... With you losing your Cutie Mark... What does it mean? Other than you needing to find... your new destiny?" Rhino asked as he helped her pack.

With another sigh, SilverStar Flame finished packing and walked outside with Rhino.

"Well, magic-wise, I discovered last night, after you had went to bed, that my magic was reduced. Before, I had basic Unicorn magic when I was a Pegasus. It never surprised me though, since my father was a Unicorn. I was able to use basic spells, and use my magic to use other objects like using bowls to cook. My magic was also based around illusion."

"I remember you telling me how the shooting star you created as a filly was an illusion..."

SilverStar Flame nodded as she lifted Rhino with her magic and placed him into the carriage, before, she got in. The carriage Pegasus then took off with a whisk. SilverStar Flame could feel the breeze blowing her face, and she sighed from relaxation of it.

"It was an illusion, though, as a filly at the time, I did not know better. Fascination got the better of me, but after joining Celestia's School of Magical Talent, I realized better. Either way, after becoming an Alicorn, my magic was still pretty basic. The only thing that changed was the spells I can use. I was able to cast some more spells, but not a good deal to make me seemed like an all-powerful Alicorn. Especially since I am and Alicorn Princess in training. But now, with my Cutie Mark gone, I can no longer cast the spells I had learned after becoming an Alicorn. So, my magic must be even more basic now."

Rhino glanced at his friend as she looked down in deep thought. His eyes grew sad feeling guilty. He knew nothing was his fault, he just felt bad for his friend.

"Well, if it makes things better, I think you are powerful!" he stated, trying to sound as cheerful as he could.

SilverStar Flame laughed. "Rhino, you are a silly dragon. I am not upset at all. I know it is my duty to find my Alicorn Destiny- the reason why I was chosen to be an Alicorn. I never thought myself worthy, but, with recent events, I began to think of different reasons as to why I may have been chosen to be an Alicorn."

Rhino looked at her perplexed and curious. "What do you think the reasons are?"

SilverStar Flame turned and smiled at him. "Well, I feel as though I am meant to rule over my own kingdom of some sort. Like Celestia and Luna over Equestria. And Cadence over the Crystal Empire. Maybe, I am meant to be ruler of a lost kingdom like Cadence." With a shrug, SilverStar Flame continued, "Who knows. I also feel as though it relates to the stars..."

Rhino gasped excitedly. "Do you think you are meant to rule over destiny?"

SilverStar Flame laughed. "Please, Rhino. Destiny is not that simple. Destiny is its own ruler of its own design. If it had a pony ruler, that would be unfair to the other ponies, for destiny passes its own judgement. And when you give a pony that power, he or she will become corrupt in someway."

Rhino gave a confused look. "I do not understand, Star..."

SilverStar Flame smiled at him with her eyes closed. "You will figure it out with time." She then glanced up at the sky, thinking about the stars she finds oh-so beautiful. "Maybe, my empire will be like the Crystal Empire, but with stars! That would be nice..."

Rhino stared at his friend in awe. He never understood why she was able to maintain this cool, collective personality. He also appreciated the fact that she was a dreamer... Who was willing to go any distance to make her dream come true.

It was a long trip, but the carriage had finally come to a stop. SilverStar Flame helped Rhino out of the carriage before helping herself out.

"Thank you, boys. I hope you have a safe flight back," SilverStar Flame stated to the Pegasus who were pulling the carriage.

"No, thank you, Princess," the one in the front right stated before all four of them took off.

SilverStar Flame waved to them before using her magic to place Rhino on her back.

"Let us go Rhino," she stated as she made her way into Ponyville. After realizing the situation at hand, she sighed, placing her head down, and her ears back. "A new start awaits, I guess."

She then perked up, thinking to herself to better the situation, With a new beginning comes new friends.... So... I should stop worrying....
