A Princess with a Heavy Wish

It's been roughly about a month since Riot Day, can't exactly say much about my month though. Little did I know Zion was very active. He always seemed to be looking at something when I'm not next to him. I wish I knew what he was looking at, so I could look to. I wonder if he's confused about why he can't talk, or why he can't walk. In short I felt bad about him not knowing what's what.

However, that is why he is a child and I am an adult. Well actually my age doesn't matter, but my body is that of a twenty-six year old pony. I'm in my prime, awaiting for some form of an adventure. I haven't been on one in quite sometime. My last adventure was my search for my parents. They came down with Luna and I when we saw the ponies having trouble with the sun and moon. We showed them our power, and made it well known to all that we had only wished to help further their survival.

The adventure lasted almost two years until we arrived in Equestria during a battle between our parents and a army of spirits of disorder. The battle was violent, lasting even longer than our adventure to find our missing parents. In the end only a new born by the name of Discord eventually became a friend. He was orderly until he lost his mind.

That day, when he captured an insane unicorn, lusting over power, driven mad by the warp that filled his mind. When Discord had cured the unicorn, we didn't know Discord took the power and knowledge, thus beginning the Discord War. Lasted a thousand years with Equestria under his paw and the world in his talons. Of course that only lasted until we found the elements of harmony, and turning him to stone.

Many years later things had quieted down, Luna returned and repented. Discord returned twice, only had to turn him to stone once more until he chose to use his powers for that of a more, peaceful nature. Of course that came with more problems. Queen of the Changelings, King Somber, Equestria had no rest when Twilight found the elements of harmony. With them in-tune with their souls, it became a weirdness magnate, causing evil to rise to destroy the only threat they ever truly had to fear.

Back to today I suppose. Discord had came by to Zion only once, then teleported away saying something about, running away from him. I didn't know what caused him to fear Zion, wish I knew though, but didn't really care much at all. As long as he did not lay a finger on him, I'll be content until such a time comes.

Honestly though, as I took a quick look over at Zion. He was sleeping in his new crib, a couple plush dolls of me and Luna wrapped in his arms. Zion looked so peaceful, sleeping with his wings loosely hanging behind him. His red mane drafting over his face, but his small pudgy smile showing, just slightly.

I giggled, returning back to my journal, writing about how I felt. I had sixty other journals with entries from up to five-hundred years ago when I had started. I felt like a whole new mare, my heart didn't pump because it had to anymore, it pumped with vigor, life and energy. When Zion came to me, and I knew he was mine, it felt like I was reborn. A new life force had fallen over me, giving me a new purpose.

I saw my chamber door open, a small green head poked through, and I smiled. "Terra!" I leaped over the desk, tackling the mare. I didn't worry about Zion, damn kid could sleep though a world war, probably three of them.

Terra giggled. "Hey Tia, how's it goin'?" She asked. "I came to see Zion, is that okay?"

I nodded. "Well of course, the prince is over here." She chuckled, teleporting over next to Zion.

Terra seemed to smile, her red mane and tail. seemed to run long over her face and over the floor. Her cutie mark was a rose, and her eyes were a soft blue like a winter sky. "He's almost a year old by the looks of it princess." She said quietly. Maybe I should tell her Zion is a heavy sleeper. "You know he's not going to be really accepted. By now, all of Equestia has heard of the new prince. I wonder how he'll take not being accepted as you are."

I snorted in disgust. "Riot Day showed me this Terra." She saw the look on my face, and pouted.

"I'm sorry, I was with Canterlot on that day." She said. "If you hate me, I understand."

I enclosed her in my wings. "Terra, I do not hate you. You are a friend, and one of the few ponies who treat me as equal."

She nodded, and began to smile. "Thank you princess...I was hoping you wouldn't return me to my home country. Evil place is evil."

"I wouldn't dare banish somepony I worked very hard to keep alive." She smiled wider at that. I could tell she had something on her mind. Her eyes showed it all, her mind wasn't too quiet either, not that I was reading it or anything. "So tell me Terra, why are you here today?"

"Right, that..." She sat down, with a long sigh. "I came here to let you know that I am truly sorry for my transgressions upon your crown...and his." Terra gave a sad look over to Zion as he slept. "What I did was foolish, and you being one of my best friends, I felt like apologizing for what I did."

I waved a hoof before hugging her. "I understand, confusion is normal. You were confused, that stallion, he knew what was going on."

She shook her head, pushing me away. "Sorry princess, but that just won't due." She stood proud. "To make it up to Zion, I will become his adviser if you shall let me. I will make sure he gets proper treatment, and good care while you are in your meetings which you are so far behind on."

"Alright, fine, Terra I will grant you this only because you saved me a lot of time, and...I don't want to repress your traditions. If you feel that this will make up for what you've done, then fine. Just know that I forgave you."

Terra said her goodbyes and all was left well. She said she would return soon to see how much Zion has planned. Being a prince he had many things to do. Blueblood did the same thing while he was growing up. The money he had corrupted his soft heart, but Zion didn't. I could tell, deep down Zion was connected to me in some way.

The first time I thought this, was Riot Day. His eyes were glowing red, but faded when he saw I was alright. To think, how close is this child to be actually mine. Perhaps there would be a father too! I looked to Zion, he rolled in his bed, and opened his pink eyes with a happy smile.

"Hey buddy!" I said moving up to him with a smile meeting his gummy one.

"Tea-ya!" he fumbled to help keep his body up. I picked him up with a giggle. "Aaaaaya! Tea-y-a!"

"You're learning Zi!" I nuzzled his belly causing him to giggle uncontrollably. "You like that huh~!?"

I blew a raspberry into his belly, and he exploded into laughter. The kind of laughter that could cleanse a soul that of a demon, or Hades for that matter. It was so pure, I nearly forgot I still had papers to sign. We were playing for well over an hour, and I could tell he was pooped. So I put him back down, and began writing more, perhaps a journal about my time with Zion. He could even write his own when he learns enough.
