Crystal Apprentice

Crystal Apprentice

Prelude. Crystal Apprentice.

A pink alicorn with a multi-colored mane and tail shot up in her bed, gasping for breath, her eyes wide. The white unicorn stallion with a blue mane and tail sleeping beside her immediately rose to check on her.

"Cadence?" He asked. "What's wrong?"

"I feel her…" Cadence whispered, her eyes still wide but her breathing starting to slow down.

"Feel her who?" The stallion asked.

"My apprentice, Shining Armor!" Cadence cheered.

"Apprentice?" He asked.

"Yes. Aunt Celestia has Twilight, and Aunt Luna has Treble." Cadence said. "Now I will finally have my own apprentice."

"Should I contact Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?" Shining Armor asked, still concerned for his mate.

"Yeah, yeah…" Cadence waved him off, deep in thought.

Shining Armor looked at Cadence once more before leaving to summon the two princesses.

"Sad Story…" Cadence whispered.
