Collide

As the sun rises in the crystal kingdom, a young mare wakes up. She yawned, and got up from her bed, gracefully.

This mare is a beautiful pink pegasus with a yellow and purple mane and blue eyes. Her name is Skyla.

She opened the doors to her balcony and walked to it. She looked below, at her beautiful kingdom and blushed, when ponies noticed her up from above and bowed. She waved at her subjects, giggling a bit.

She looked to her right and saw a strange pony. Actually, it didn’t look like a pony, more like a bug. The creature was sweeping until it looked up, seeing Skyla was staring at it. The creature bowed to her, then puts its hood on, going inside a building.

Skyla was curious, she had never seen a creature like that before. Then heard a knock at the door.

She went back to her room and said, “Come in Lapis”. Lapis, a light blue crystal pony with a dark blue mane and yellow crystal eyes. walked into the room.

Lapis bowed to Skyla and said, “Good morning your highness”

Skyla gave a little smile and yawned once more, covering her mouth with her hoof as she did. Skyla went to her mirror, looking at herself while Lapis brushes her hair. Lapis then put Skyla put on her shoes for her, as well as Skyla’s necklace and tiara.

After Lapis was done, she said, “King Shining Armor is waiting for you in the dining room Princess Skyla”. Skyla nodded and walked out of her room as Lapis opened the door for her.

When Skyla arrived at the door of the dining room, the guards opened them to let Skyla come in. The dining room, like every room else in the crystal palace was beautiful and big.

Skyla walked to her chair, watching as the guard pulled her chair out. She sat and the guard pushed it back to the table.

Across from the long crystal table in front of her is King Shining Armor, a white stallion with a blue mane with bits of grey in it and blue eyes, he is also Skyla's father.

“Good morning father”, Skyla said, bowing her head to him.

“Morning dear daughter”, the King said, nodding his head to her.

They both started eating quietly. It was quiet for awhile until the King finally spoke up again.

“My dear Skyla”, said the King as he looked at her daughter.

Skyla looked up to the King and said, “Yes my King?”

“I have an announcement to give to you and you may not like it”

“What is father?”, Skyla said, looking kinda curious.

“My dear daughter, I am growing old and get tired everyday, and you know I can’t say king forever”

“This can’t be what I think you are trying to say father”, Skyla thought.

“I feel like it’s time for you to become queen”

The moment King Shining Armor said that, Skyla felt her heart skipping a beat. Skyla looked down.

Skyla doesn’t want to become queen. She thinks she is not ready, actually, she feels like she will never be ready.

“Father I-”, Skyla was about to say but she started thinking. Her father was growing old and weak. He was right, he can’t be king forever. And she loves her father so much that she is willing to do whatever he wants.

She looked up again as her father says, “I know you will be ready, and will be a great queen”.

Skyla looked at her father’s eye and said, “As you wish father”.
