Twilight walked into a small room with a wooden desk covered in papers, Uther sat there reading through some of the papers.

Twilight trotted over to the desk, Uther looked up “Twilight, do you need my help with anything?”

Twilight frowned “When I was with Arthas, he said we weren’t in a relationship and every time he said that it stung and I have no idea why, do you?”

Uther raised an eyebrow “Let me ask you a few questions, how do you feel about Arthas?”

Twilight raised “Well he’s my friends, I trust him with my life why?’

Uther sighed “Because I’m trying to confirm some suspicions about your problem” he then asked another question “Okay close your eyes and picture Arthas in your mind, don’t think just what comes to mind first”

Twilight closed her eyes “He’s strong willed and brave, he will never abandon a friend. He is easy going, able to make light of the worst situations yet he commands respect from all who follow him” she began to smile “He’s a good listen and even greater friend, he has always supported me even in my worst days. His handsome too, when he stand there in front of his men, his golden hair flowing in the wind, he is inspiring.”

Uther smiled “Enough, I think I know what you’ve got. You’ve got a crush on him.”

Twilight’s eyes widened “I can’t have a crush, I can’t!” she then began to cry “No-one will accept, that no-one!”

Uther’s smile fell as he hugged her “Twilight what do you mean by that?”

Twilight cried “I’m not human… Arthas has an expectation to have kids in the future and he can’t have them with me, I know that.”

Uther sighed “I’m sorry Twilight.”

Twilight took a deep breath as she dried her tears “It’s fine Uther, just…”

Arthas ran in “Twilight I need your help with something!”

Twilight smiled “Let’s discuss it somewhere private.” they entered a plain white room with a single bed and a bookshelf in it. Twilight asked with a smile “What is it Arthas?”

Arthas rubbed the back of his head “ I just visited Durnholde Keep and met a woman named Taretha, she reminded me of Jaina. I want to know how do impress Jaina, I I have feelings for her and I was hoping you could help.”

Twilight‘s smile became a little more forced “Alright Arthas, if you really want to impress her, well she is a mage and loves to study so maybe an antique book as a gift. Flowers help too but most of all be yourself, you are handsome and charming after all.”

Arthas smiled as he gave her a hug “Thanks Twilight you are a good friend, I don’t think I will ever have a better one in all my life.”

Twilight smiled “Arthas as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters to me.”

Arthas nodded “I better go and get some flowers then, thanks Twilight for the advice and for being a good friend.”

Twilight waved weakly as he ran out of the room “You’re welcome.”

She sat on her bed dejected, Uther walked in “I heard what transpired lass, are you going to be alright?”

Twilight nodded as she stood up “Yes it will take me some time but I will cope. Arthas is my friend first and foremost my feelings to him for any other reason should come second to that.”

Uther smiled “Twilight you are a good friend, one Arthas will need in the future.”

Twilight sighed “Why do you think so much of me?”

Uther frowned “You are a really good person, Twilight. In truth the reason I didn’t want to train Arthas was I could feel a darkness within him, a weak one that would grow with time. However when I first saw the two of you together I felt some part of you was slowly choking that darkness replacing it with light, you are the one who grounds him and reminds of what's important when no-one else can.”

Twilight blinked “I had no idea I had such an effect on him.”

Uther nodded “You are someone special, I learnt that very quickly after we met.”

Twilight smiled “Thanks Uther, I will do the best to support him in any way that I can.” Uther smiled as Twilight galloped out of the room, he hoped that all would be well not realising that a few years down the track everything would change forever.
