A Thousand Years Later...

The magic I had given Prince Dusk made his mane sparkle with a galaxy of stars, but did not flow. I allowed him to begin traveling Equestria as a royal duty. The following is the journal he kept.

Dear Diary,

My mother has now allowed me to go around Equestria as my royal duty for a year now. I have visited Manehatten, Saddle Arabia, Cloudsdale and multiple others. I am currently in Ponyville, or rather, in the chariot to Ponyville. I have been informed that a former princess and Demi-Alicorn resides there. Twilight Sparkle, I believe. Ponyville has now come to view. It's rather colourful, and it seems the residents have thrown a parade. I know not if this is so, for the darkness makes it hard to read the large banner. We have come close enough to notice the sign indeed says Welcome Prince Dus... Dus, perhaps they couldn't fit in the K. I am to stay here for thirty days. I believe I will enjoy it here.  We are now close to landing, so I shall stop writing for the night.

Signed, Dusk Of Equestria.

Dear Diary,

My suspicions are correct, the banner was suppose to hold the words Welcome Prince Dusk, however they were unable to squeeze it all in. I am now in the house of the generous Miss Rarity.  Though she sounded rather... Desperate for me to enter her house, I believe it's just her nature to be so welcoming. She says I should rest, for her friends were joining for a picnic tomorrow and she wanted me to go. I politely accepted, and I have become rather large friends with her younger sibling, SweetieBelle. The young filly hasn't a cutie mark yet, and I smiled as I showed her mine. It is plain, A shield with two swords. She was impressed, claiming it was a royal cutie mark. She's very sweet. I must go now so I am able to wake for the picnic.

Signed, Dusk Of Equestria

Dear Diary,

Tonight, I met the Demi-alicorn, Twilight Sparkle. She is indeed kind, and talented with magic. She has lavender fur, and beautiful eyes. I must say, I was in a small trance when meeting her. When she bowed, I simply told her formalities were not needed, and she could simply call me Dusk. I have unknown feelings for this pony... Her beauty is ever so much. I enjoyed her presence exceedingly. Perhaps I have fallen in love, and perhaps I'm just an idiot under a crown. We share the same interests too, reading, stargazing. She promised she'd give me a lesson on astronomy, I was always giving my own lessons, I never got to learn. A new experience is always good. I can't fall in love with her... Mother dislikes her. I simply can't.

Signed, Dusk Of Equestria.
