Legend of Pegasi

“Are we anywhere near the Green Leaves Forest?” asked Star tiredly.

“C’mon man! We just walked for four hours and you’re already exhausted?” I asked cheerfully. Star did looked pretty tired but to tell the truth, I was just getting ready for another good four hours of walking!

“Soarin, not everypony is as… as… strong as you,” he said between his pants.

“Fiiiiine. Because of how generous I am, I’ll let you rest for fifteen minutes but that’s it!” I said. He collided to the ground as my sentence ended. I looked at him with surprised. Walking for four hours couldn’t be this bad could it? However, I just shrugged and sat next to the panting Starswirl.

“Whoa! Look at here! The great Starswirl is passed out!” I said with a chuckle. “Can’t you perform a spell to make you stronger or at least give you fresh breath?”

“First, shut that mouth! Second, there’s no spell that can do it. At least not yet. And third, there IS a spell for fresh breath but a unicorn can’t perform spells when he/she is tired,” said Star as he took deep breaths.

“There are strangers here,” said a voice.

I turned to Starswirl and said, “Strangers? What strangers?”

“Huh?” he said with surprise.

“Didn’t you say there are strangers here?” I asked.

His eyes quickly became wide as he heard what I said. “Wand! Soarin be quick!” My eyes widened and I quickly grab the wand and shook as hard as I could. Just like the last time, two screaming creatures appeared and fell to the ground as they caught their ear.

“You’ll pay for this!” said one of them angrily.

“Why don’t you leave us alone?” I said angrily.

“Danger! Danger is coming at you! Be aware that young princess won’t leave you alive!” hissed the other one.

I gritted my teeth and grumbled, “You know what? I don’t give a damn about your princess!”

Two Fairies gasped upon hearing that and roared angrily. “Princess won’t leave you alive!” said one of them again.

“Princess won’t leave you alive!” roared the other one. This time I didn’t waited for Starswirl and shook the wand right away. Two Fairies screamed away and flew away as they repeated ‘princess won’t leave you alive’ and ‘you’ll pay for this’ again and again.

“Wow…” was all Star said.

“What was that? Princess?” I asked as I stared at the direction they left.

“Yeah. In some of the books I read about Fairies Ponies, there were somethings about the princess of Fairies. Princess is the smartest and the most beautiful of them all but she’s also the most skilled of them,” explained Star.

“Therefore, we’re dead,” I said with wide eyes.

“You didn’t believe them, did you?”

“Uh…”

“They can’t do anything. They’re just bluffing and try to scare us. Every single of the Fairies we saw are the banished Fairies. They’d broken the rules of the Fairies realm and they are banished from there to live in the place where all of the Fairies are scared of; Ponies’ world. They don’t have the permission to enter their former home and therefore, they can’t tell the princess,” said Starswirl.

“You… sure about that?” I asked doubtfully.

Star shook his head. “Totally. The real danger is when we’re getting close to the gates of the kingdom. Fairy guards are everywhere in there but don’t worry. I have a protection spell for that time.”

“And where the gates are?”

“At the end of Green Leaves Forest.”

“Then we should be pretty prepared. There’s only one more hour till we get to Green Leaves Forest,” I said as I checked the map.

“Include rest time, breakfast time and lunch,” said Starswirl.

I snickered and replied, “Then we’ll be there at tomorrow morning.” Starswirl rolled his eyes and said nothing. I smiled and sat beside him. We had a long way to go and saving energy was the best thing I could at the moment.

“There it is!” said Starswirl happily.

“What? Did we reach to the forest already?” I asked with surprise cause with all of the time we had wasted it didn’t really look like we were there this soon. Unless Star had done a magic that I didn’t notice.

“Forest? Of course no! I found the right spot to rest for the night,” he said as he pointed to the spot.

I face hoofed as I heard him. “Seriously? After all of the times we wasted for taking breaks, you wanna stop for the night? The sun hasn’t even set!”

“C’mon Soar, there’s just few more minutes left till sunset and we have to find a spot without any Fairies,” said Star.

“Yeah, only sixty minutes,” I said with a roll of eyes.

“Whatever,” replied Starswirl. “Now, do me a favor and shake that wand.”

I sighed and grabbed the wand for the thousandth time that day. Although Star helped me get the Fairies away with his cloak but I’d also shook the wand enough to get annoyed. As all of the times before, some screaming appeared and flew away as they all muttered the same thing, ‘you’ll pay for this’. I’m wondering if they know anything except from that…

“Great! Now I can set up the protection spell. Fairies won’t even get close to us while we’re resting through the night,” said Star. He began casting the spell and made a big shield like a huge bubble around us.

“Now what?” I asked. “Let me guess, some more resting?”

“What else? Resting and reading books is the best thing in the world!”

“For you. Not me. Walking is the best thing I can think of now.”

“Walking is always the best thing you can thing of!” he said with a roll of eyes. “However, will you make dinner or I’ll do it. Although I already know the answer…”

“Then why don’t you start cooking if you already know the answer, Mr. Chef!” I said as I lay down on the solid ground.

“Just as I thought,” muttered Star.

Princess’s P.O.V.

“You’re highness, one of the prisoners permits for talking to thou,” said one of the guards.

“Let them in,” I said nonchalantly. The guard bowed quickly and ran out of the door. Even the poor guard knew I wasn’t in mood for talking and I was annoyed enough to kick him out of the castle if he stayed any time longer.

“Here she is your highness,” said the guard as he came back in with the prisoner. He shoved her forward and left the room as he made sure his duty was done.

“Speak,” I said.

“Your highness, I won’t get your time so much. I already know how annoyed you are of the princess duties,” the prisoner said.

What she said made me sit right up and look at her with a raised eyebrow. “How do you know?”

“Before your sister threw me in the jail, I used to be an expert psychic,” she answered rather rudely.

That was why I frowned and said, “Speak of my sister properly or your punishment will be doubled!”

Her face suddenly showed tinges of fear and she quickly said, “No you’re highness! Your sister is great but she threw me in the jail for the wrong reasons. I was just a poor psychic who made money out of telling pony’s future but the old princess thought that I’m a thief and threw me in the jail.”

“Well, what she did was right because you’re lying.”

“I’m not lying your highness. That’s why I came here. Sleep has gone away from my eyes for some nights and I see the future of thee twenty four seven your highness!”

“My… future? Do I even have a future? Always doing royal jobs and not a moment to blink. I thought you’re a psychic. How don’t you know of this?”

“I knew of your condition your highness. I know everything and more. Soon there will be a danger getting near and among all of the Fairies, it’ll be thee who shall stop the disaster but disaster won’t be stopped and you’re highness will fall in love with the one who’s trying to kill her!” said the psychic with fear.

I frowned. “How can I trust your blabbering?”

“Don’t you believe my words? It’s fine. I predict than your sister will enter right away groaning about weather Fairy’s bad job. I predict that she will began with this, ‘the more that passes the more I hate the disorders of town’,” said the psycho.

“We’ll see,” I said. Deep inside I knew that she was lying but a part of me was curious to see if she really is right or not. By the way, it was a good opportunity to rest a little. Few minutes passed and nothing happened except the fact that I felt sleepier than before.

I was about to open my mouth and say something to the fake psycho when my older sister burst into the room with a deep frown. She was muttering some things under her breath but they were audible due to the echo of the hall.

“The more that passes the more I hate the disorders of town,” she groaned. Then she huffed and walked up to me with lowered head. That was why she didn’t notice my dropped jaw and shocked expression. But wait… just a sentence couldn’t be a good evident. That psycho said that she was angry of the weather Fairy’s bad job.

“Um… what are you angry of?” I asked carefully.

“A lot of things but they all lead to one thing, weather Fairies! They don’t even know how to shape a simple cloud in the sky!” she said with a big frown. “UGH! I’LL FINALLY KILL MYSELF BECAUSE OF THEIR UNDISCIPLINED FAIRIES!” she shouted angrily.

“O-okay,” I said with wide eyes. Not because of her shouting but because of the fact that every single word of the psycho were true!

“Are you okay? You look like someone had struck you in head,” said my sister with surprised face.

“Oh! Oh! I did!” said the psycho excitedly but she quickly stopped herself when she met my sister’s glare. “Uh-oh…”

“What is this liar doing here? She thinks she’s a psycho but I can swear she had ran off of one of the madhouses!” said my sister.

“I don’t think so Twi. I mean, she predicted that you’d arrive while you mutter stuff about the weather Fairies. I think she really is a psycho,” I said to her.

“Oh my poor little sister, have she fooled you too?” said Twilight with a sigh.

“HEY!” I shouted. “You just take everything hard. What if she really is psycho? We can use her in the castle!”

“Rainbow are you kidding me? These things don’t exist at all. There’s just no proof for that,” said Twilight in a professional tone. I rolled my eyes. I knew I shouldn’t answer her but she was wrong. She might have been my older sister and of course wiser than me but she was just super overprotective. I mean who wants a proof for everything in the world and a proper reason for anything that happens around?

“Not all of the things have a proof!” said psycho as she wrapped her hoof around Twilight. Wait… when did she came up here?

“AAH!” shouted Twilight. The she looked at her with a glare. “Get off of me!”

“Okay you’re highness,” she said as she went back to her previous place in less than a blink.

“I do think that she’s good to work in castle but as a clown,” whispered Twilight.

“I can do any pranks if you want as a clown,” said the psycho as she appeared beside us again. This time she appeared beside my throne as she grin from ear to ear. Her silly grin disappeared as Twilight glared at her again. “Fiiiiine…” she said as she went back to where she used to be.

I giggled. “I like her.”

“But I don’t,” said Twilight flatly.

“C’mon Twi. Don’t be so uptight,” I said as I shoved her comically.

“Fine, but if you woke up and saw that the castle is gone don’t blame me,” she said with crossed hooves.

“Fine, whatever,” I said with a roll of eyes. “So psycho-”

“Please call me Pinkie princess Rainbow,” said the psycho…er, Pinkie.

“And whatever happened to the ‘you’re highness’?” said Twilight with glare.

“TWILIGHT!” I said angrily.

“Ugh! Fine!” she said with crossed hooves.

“Okay Pinkie, you have to get back to the jail till I get things ready but remember that the first thing I’ll do is asking you of my destiny,” I said.

“Yes you’re highness,” she said happily. Then she started bouncing out of the door.

“Aaaand the last Fairy to see for today,” I said as I closed my tired eyes with a smile.

“And the last job for today. Whew! Luckily, we have the whole afternoon to ourselves!” said Twilight as happily as me.

“And even something better! Dad comes back today!” I continued with a grin.

“Today’s gonna be the best day ever!” cheered Twilight happily. I stood up and we both walked to our rooms as we chatted happily.
