Princess Angel

Angel yawned as she awoke. It was a nice spring day and...her birthday! "21", the white mare mused. She couldn't help but grin. Maybe now that she was older she could have more freedom. As it stood now, she had little. She had to have a guard with her if she wanted to go off of the palace grounds and she hated it. So naturally she would sneak off whenever she could. Which was almost everyday.

Angel made her way to the kitchen for breakfast but was stopped by Shinning Armor. "Ah, Angel, Happy birthday kiddo. Would you mind following me? Your grandmother and I would like to speak with you." Confused Angel nodded and follower. He led her to the study room where Cadence was already sitting. "Angel, happy birthday sweetie," Cadence was beaming happily. Angel nodded to her thanking her with a warm smile.

"So....what is going on?" Angle wasn't sure what this was about, but figured it had to do with her birthday. Maybe they were going to let her have her freedom!

"Well....kiddo, you know we love you very much..." Shinning started steadily. "Yes we do, and we want to make sure you are safe," Cadence continued. By this point Angel knew she wasn't getting her birthday wish. In fact she was getting an uneasy feeling in her gut.

"We know you have been sneaking out Angel, and while we understand why, we just can't have you out on your own." Shinning Armor's words surprised Angel. How did they know?!?!? Angel gulped and looked embarrassed. Cadence smiled lovingly at her.

"Dear, you must understand we do this to protect you," her face got serious, "ever since that battle all of Equestria is on high alert, and you would be a perfect target for any of those villains." Angel knew they had a point but she was 21 now surely she would be safe?

"So we ask you, kindly, to have a guard with you if you wish to leave the palace. We ever got you your own personal guard." Angel gasped at her grandpa's words. "But I'm 21!" She pleaded her case to her grandparents to which they replied, that, while that may be so, her magic skills were not strong enough to defend herself from dark magic.

Angel admitted they had a point and reluctantly agreed to the personal guard. After breakfast Shinning introduced Angel to her new guard. Cosmic Blast.
