The Illusions Begin
Chapter 3
Previous ChapterAs Illusion made way to Ponyville in the air, and to see the famous Rainbow Dash, he looked to the ground and saw tons of apple trees! He stopped in mid-air and looked around, then he licked his muzzle and floated down for a quick break. This was going to be a treat for him!
He reached a large branch and landed on it, plucking an apple from its stem and taking one heck of a bite out of it. It was the most scrumptious apple he'd ever eaten! He took several more bites until he had nothing but the core in his paw. Illusion then tossed it to the ground, only to hear a second later a shout from somepony below.
"What in tarnation?!", Somepony said, having a southern accent to her voice, "Rainbow?! Is that you eatin' mah apples again?! I swear you-", The cowpony stopped, wide-eyed at what she saw in the apple tree. Illusion grinned nervously and guiltily.
The farm pony was a lovely shade of orange with a hay straw, colored mane and tail that had ponytails in them. She was also wearing a brown stetson and had three red apples for her cutie mark.
"Uh... h-hi there. I didn't know these were yours.", Illusion said, putting back an apple on its stem with his magic that he had picked off. The cowpony tillted her head in wonder at him, before blinking and shaking her head.
"Well that's alright there, sugarcube. Name's Applejack. What's yers?", She asked him with a warm grin.
"Oh, my name's Illusion, the prince of Princess Celestia and the master of chaos, Discord.", Said Illusion as he floated down to land in front of her with a royal pose. Applejack's eyes went wide at that.
"So... you mean ta tell me that yer the Prince? The Prince that Twilight kept talkin' about after she heard of Celestia givin' birth to a foal?", AJ asked, bewildered in amazement. He nodded in agreement with a warm smile, making Applejack's cheeks to flush a light pink that was bearly visible.
"Twilight's not gonna believe this!", She said as she pulled off her stetson and bowed, "It's an honor ta meet ya Prince Illusion."
Illusion chuckled, making Applejack look up at him in confusion, "Oh, I'm sorry, It's just... I'm not used to ponys bowing for me. It feels weird."
"Ah bet Twilight can relate to that.", AJ said with a slight giggle, "Why don't ya come meet her? She'd be excited to see ya."
Illusion thought while he scratched his fuzzy chin, then said, "Alright, I guess it wouldn't hurt to meet this Twilight friend of yours."
They walked down the path from Sweet Apple Acres, as Applejack had told him that was her home and farm, towards Ponyville and the Golden Oak Library. He was fasinated at the colorful shops and buildings, most of them being yellow with brown roofs.
"So this, Twilight of yours, is she a wizard?", Illusion asked AJ as they walked.
"Well, she's more of the Princess of Friendship.", She said, waving her hoof in a circular motion.
Illusion's eyes widen, realizing the name Twilight for the first time. His mother had told him about her, showing scrolls that she sent back and forth to her and the young Princess. He was finally going to meet her! How he couldn't wait for this moment.
They stopped at the front door of the Golden Oaks Library. Here he was, right at the door of the newest Princess. Twilight Sparkle.
