Seline and Sol: The Third Alicorn

Twilight sat on the train, she was in a section with Sunset, Shiny and Cadance. She was sitting next to Sunset and across from them was Shining and Cadance.

Twilight looked out the window to avoid witnessing a scene like before, with her siblings fighting and her losing control of her magic. Out the window she saw Canterlot slowly became smaller, Twilight felt her heart tighten. She had never been so far away from home. She knew her companions travelled frequently, Shiny had travelled far as a guard, Cadance travelled as a Princess and Sunset had occasionally been the Queen's reprsentative. They all seemed immune from home sickness unlike her. She did not have much in Canterlot, like friends and loving parents. But it still was home to her.

Twilight leaned back on her seat, she had also never missed a celebration at Canterlot either. The view outside the window started to turn blurry. The faster the train moved, the less Twilight could see. Until she could no longer see the city she loved. She was forced to look inside and deal with inside of the train, instead of the outside.

It was silent in the train carriage, as they were in the Royal Class. This section of the train was reserved for Celestia's guests and only for those on official business, despite the nobility attempts to use it for their own gain.

Twilight hated having to travel in this section, she wasn't any better then any pony else and she wasn't anyone special like Cadance, Shiny and Sunny. She wished she was on the train with Spike, but instead she was forced to deal Sunset, Cadance and Shiny tension and agruments. At the moment Sunny giving Cadance the death glare and Shiny giving Sunset the death glare while Cadance was simply smiling as if all was right in the world and she couldn't feel the tension.

She opened her book, determined to not let the tension bother her like before and instead decided to read what was known about the kingdom of Seline. She had studied the subject once with Sunny and her majesty when she was much younger, and had only discovered the most basic of infomation.

The Kingdom of Seline
Seline, often referred to as the Kingdom of the Night. It is referred to as the kingdom of the Night because of the Ruler, an evil Alicorn. The evil Alicorn is oftened referred to as Nightmare, because of the Nightmare she causes to her subjects. It had also been revealed that she is part vampony, which is why she hates our majestic Queen so much......

Twilight could hardly believe that this was considered infomation about Seline. It was mostly made up infomation about the Queen. There was no such thing as vampony. She skimmed through the other books she had brought with her about Seline. No wonder the Queen had refused a treaty until now, the citizens of Sol believed that it was made up of vamponys and the ruler was evil without any proof. Twilight decided when she would discover the truth about Seline and would get an actual book from Seline about Seline. Twilight would also try to get all these books burned, she cringed at such a thought but it was necessary.

Cadance handed her a cup of something, that tasted like her favourite cup of tea, but stronger. Twilight looked around the train, her mind was unable to focus on anything beside her books which she could not read as she was constantly being distracted by her yawns. She wasn't well rested with all the late nights, organising the schedule for Sunset, and her unconscious state earlier today. "Guys, I think I'm going to sleep through the rest of the trip, can somepony wake me up when we arrive" Twilight asked.

"Of course, Twilight" Princess Cadance responded, eager to help.

Twilight then nodded to the rest of the group, who were still engulfed in their staring contest. Finally at the cabin, she tucked herself into bed using magic and finally fell asleep.

The train finally reached the final station, they would have to stay at a hotel for the night and then walk the rest of the way to Seline. Princess Cadance walked towards the cabins at the end of the train, to wake up the Twilight. She looked so peaceful asleep Cadance noted, it would be a shame to wake her up now. Cadance conjured her magic and used it to control the driver to take a break. She was so glad she inserted some of her magic into his mind, when she first saw at the train station.

Cadenza conjured her magic again to asert her limited control over her "companions". They would head to the hotel and go to sleep, knowing that Twilight and Cadance would be along shortly. She had all the time in the world to spend with Twilight now, even if Twilight was not awake to enjoy it as she did. She looked so peaceful in her sleep, Cadance wanted her to feel like that always. Twilight had looked so tired recently, Cadance had decided to take charge and put some sleeping drops in her tea.

"My Queen" A voice called from the shadows of the cabin.

Cadance turned towards the shadows, "you know you are not suppose to disturb me when I am with Twilight" Cadance screamed with the emotion swarming her, the strong emotions caused her disguise to fade away. Her greatest fear was coming to light because of this drone. Twilight would never view her the same if she realised her true nature. Twilight, thankfully, was asleep and would not see her this way ever.

"My Queen, control yourself. I apologize for distrubing your time with Twilight Sparkle but it was important. Your beloved has requested a meeting" the shadows responsed. Chrysalis controlled herself and resumed the form of Cadance, she would need to take more love from the fools to regain more power. It was a shame she was seperated from her "dear Aunt", a Alicorn's love was very fulfilling.

"What did he say? Did he speak of his plans?" Cadance responded.

"No, he did not my Queen. But he did request a meeting, and a photograph of the child"

"I see, inform him I am on my way to Seline and will begin phase 1 of the plan. Inform him, that I will send warrior Hetalia when am ready and as for photograph, send him a recent photo from my private collection"

"Yes my Queen, I am also concerned about you being alone on this mission. I recommend that you have a warrior or lower drone accompany you. Disguise them as a pony in your personal staff and I will send one of the more gifted to remove that pony from Canterlot and manipulate the rest into believing they were gone from the beginning"

"I agree, that is why at the beginning of this trip. I wrote to "dear Aunty" Celestia requesting to bring one of my own staff along"

"Who?"

"Warrior Hetalia, of course. Now leave me, and inform my beloved of everything"

"Of course my Queen, I will drop off the necessary documents to your suite at the castle when you arrive. I look forward to our next meeting." The shadows became less dark and talkative, once the presence left.

Cadance looked down at the Unicorn, it was time to go to the hotel. Her control on the other Unicorns wasn't as strong as she liked and if she returned when they were awake they would begin to ask questions. Where were they? Why did we not wait?, these questions would eventually break the fragile control she had over them.

With a heavy heart she lifted Twilight on her back, and sent a short message to the driver. The train could continue to move to its next destination.

The Princess arrived at the hotel. The village , that the hotel was in, was in the middle of both kingdoms. There were sereval villages like that refused to fully join either kingdom for several reasons. The main reason was no pony wanted to give up there home. Cadance quickly found out where both Twilight and herself would be staying. She trotted to Twilight's Room and dropped Unicorn into her bed, once making sure Twilight was safe. Cadance left quickly, Twilight would need her rest and Cadance would make sure that Twilight had a large breakfast to make up for the lack of dinner.

She exited the room and entered her own. Cadance secured it using her magic, she could finally be herself.

"What do you from me, My Queen?" A tall changeling asked. The changling was wearing black armor which was decorated with green. There was a sword attached to armor.

"Become a pony and pretend to be my guard." She floated over the documents that were beside her using her green magic "This highlights everything about your mission and expect to be ready at a moments notice"

"Yes My Queen, I will see you in the morning My Queen" the changeling bowed and turned into a female Unicorn guard, she removed her armor. The Unicorn guard placed the sword and armor in front of the Princess.

"Refer to me as Princess during this trip, Hetalia or you will ruin everything" Chrysalis said in a firm voice, nothing could go wrong.

Twilight awoke, she felt strange and restful. She hadn't felt like this in a long time, her recent weeks had full of stress because of her duties as Sunset's assistant. Sunset wanted everything to be perfect because she wanted the credit she deserved. Twilight knew that Sunset dreamed of being an Wings like Cadance, and would stop at nothing to achieve this goal.

Twilight had tried to convice Sunset that she should let it go, but is seemed her sister was filled with arrogrance and envy. She couldn’t think of her sister anymore, because she didn't know how to help her. Twilight looked at the room she had been given; it was a medium sized room that had a small bed, desk, a mirror, an ensuite and various pieces of artwork featuring the Night. The moon was craved into the walls and there were several stars on the roof. The books had got one thing right so far, it was definitely a kingdom of the Night.

Twilight entered the en suite determined to make sure this day was successful, the fate of Sol depended on it she thought. Twilight wore one of the outfits the Queen demanded they wear, it was a yellow dress with the Kingdom's crest, the Queen's cutie mark, in the middle of her chest and she shoes with Sol crest as well.

Sweet Celestia! Twilight thought she hated wearing clothes.

She left her room ready to face the others, hoping they didn't notice her discomfort. As she walked down the hall, towards the dining room, she passed one of the room's and saw a powerful green glow. Curiosity compelled her to take a look, after all she knew no pony with green magic. She began peeking through the cracks, but it was covered in darkness. That made her more supscious, it was early morning surely the light from the sun would be shining into the room. She was getting ready to carefully slip into the room when a pony touched her shoulder. This caused Twilight to jump and ingite her magic, preparing to defend herself.

"Forgive me your ladyship" A blue Unicorn said, lowering herself into a bow.

"Ah....Its fine" Twilight said, looking closely at the Unicorn. She was dressed in a type of armor but it was unlike any she had ever seen. "Wait who are you? And why do you call me your ladyship?"

"My name is Warrior Hetalia and you are Lady Twilight Sparkle. It is an honor to serve." the Unicorn responsed, with a blank look in her eye.

A figure then jumped in front of Twilight, as if knowing she was uncomfortable in this situation. "Hetalia stop scaring Twilight" the figure then turned to Twilight, it was Cadance! "Are you alright? I apologize for Hetalia behavior. I must have spoken of you so much that Hetalia views you as family" Cadance said, but there was something different about her. She had this sparkle in her eye that Twilight could not identify.

"Its fine Cadance, I view you as family too. Besides I see the way Shiny looks at you, one day you might be my sister in law." Twilight said with a smile, waving off the guards apologies. It was a happy thought to have the peace keeper become part of her family. Cadance had always been there for Twilight, through thick and thin.

"I see..." Cadenza responsed, obviously deep in thought. Twilight then remembered the real reason she was there when she looked at the stoic Unicorn.

"Cadance, do you know whose room this is?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, it is mine. Why?"

"I just saw something strange happen in that room."

"Oh don't worry about that, I just had the manager in there to fix the lights and he had green magic. Dont worry everything is okay" Cadance said, placing a hoof under Twilight's chin. The more Twilight thought about it the more it makes sense. What other reason could there be and Cadance would never lie to her.

"Now let's go down for breakfast" Cadance said removing her hoof and nodded to Hetalia.

As Twilight walked down to breakfast with Cadance and Hetalia, she was deep in thought. How did Cadance know she was worried about the green magic?

Sunset sat at the small desk she had been given. Trying to figure out what had happened, she felt strange ever since last night, she had left Twilight to go with Shining and didn't even stay awake and wait for her. Sunset knew that Twilight would be okay, but she didn't know how she knew.

It was like how she knew Cadance was a traitor, she just didn't know how she knew. None of evidence she had against Cadance proved this, they only proved Cadnace trying to become a part of her family and replace Sunset. Sunset had once gone to the Queen about this and the Queen of course took her niece's side and abandoned her student and stopped caring. Sunset had gone to other such as her "friends" and her brother but no one believed her. The only pony she didn't go to was Twilight because she didn't want Twilight to be crushed, finding out that your role model was a fraud.

Sunset researched Wings, over and over and over again. She discovered that Wings were the Queens most trusted pony and without trust, the Wings would lose there magic and slowly fade away and the honor would be given to somepony else. When Cadance screwed up, Who else deserved it more then Celestia's most faithful and trusted student.

Ever since reading this, Sunset had a plan. She would ruin the treaty and find a way to place the blame on Cadance. Sunset had already begun her first step, the staff that Cadance had selected were the staff from Ponyville, she informed the ponies that they were not to take the express train that everypony else had taken.

There failure to show, would reflect badly on Cadance for choosing badly and ruin her.

Now it was time to eat breakfast and begin stage one of her plan. Sunset would lead them to greatness and Cadenza would fall.
