Shining's Rise To Power - Two Sister's Banished

With the sisters’ banished and the deaths dealt with we needed to rebuilt the city’s reputation. All the evacuees came back from ponyville and we celebrated its hero’s. I ordered for a plaque to be made for all the ponies who died fighting or a victims to the sisters’. This was concreated into the steps of the new palace.

“Oh so that’s who those ponies are…”

“Skyla! Wasn’t you told that in 1 of your lessons?”

“No daddy.”

“I will have to speak to your tutor!”

Anyway the plaque was 1 of my first steps in making equestria peaceful again. After all homes where completed and the court was settled. I was coroneted. It was about 2 weeks after the burning but the court had my title down as acting king. That way if anyone looked in on equestria, they would know we as a kingdom still had balance and was under rule even in difficult times. The coronation was simple. I was helped by the advisors to work out the foreign dignitaries guest list and who I needed to make trade routes with for equestria again.

I had to reline all trade routes, alliances and kingdoms as when the ruler of a leading nations trades hooves by force. Those who had a previous alliance can’t necessarily trust the new ruler. It doesn’t help that I had never met any of these ponies before… In the crystal empire Cadence handled all that while I handled safety and boarders. Of course Celestia was the one to sort out all of it for equestria.

The coronation went smoothly all were present and counted for on the guest list including you 3, Twilly, my parents and many other I knew at the time. Once crowned I took my walk around the crowds and spoke to many. 2 advisors stayed close to write down appointments and dates for the foreign dignitaries to visit. This was to discuss in further detail our alliance and other topics.

Once I was crowned and all celebrations had ended it all went quite well of course we could have done with our Load triek escaping again but now he isn’t around anymore…. He isn’t a problem.

“Oh please tell!”

“Maybe another time…”

The weeks grew into months and months turned into years all was fine we didn’t have any uproars about me being king and as time went on the battle I had with the sister that ponies knew of turned into that of fiction. The sisters’ very existence faded as well. As ponies grew up and died the ’stories’ became more and more like fairy-tales with bits being added like Chinese whispers. The ‘stories’ that surrounded that 3 months and its battle, between the 4 of us faded into ‘Legends’. The ‘legends’ people speak off today. That I welded a sword with dragons’ heads and that Celestia was half griffon and half pony; all are all made up. Such nonsense. The sister will return though but they will return powerless and defenceless. As the legends of the battle aren’t the only legends. There are legends and theories around why the sisters’ did what they did. That…

“That is why on the anniversary every year you tell the citizens that they are evil… so when they do return they are feared and hated…”

“Yes my cleaver little one.”

“Then what happened.”

“Well I will be marrying the Princess and Brave along with Flurry manage the courts. What you do will be reviled very soon…”

“Wait so the story is over?”

“No my princesses… The story will never be over but now instead of being told it you will write it…”

“Because I have my choice to do as I wish…?”

“Within reason yes…”

“Thanks daddy love you…”

“Love you to Skyla…”

…………………..

“Saph? Where are you?”

“SAPH?!”

“BOO!”

“Really…?”

“What?”

“Nothing…. Come here my Queen… The night awaits us…”
