One life view

Chrysalis could see she was being held down firmly but a royal guard. The stallion had thick mohawk, standing firmly while being held by the gold helmet on top of his grey head. The Queen sneered, pushing with all her might to get the stallion off of her. After struggling for a bit she hissed loudly baring her fangs and rolling her eyes back. This made the former stallion jump and get off her before getting back to her before she flew off. Stiffly the stallion pulled the mare down, making her struggle to get away from the grasp. She thought of an idea of escape, shooting the stallion in the face with a fire beam. A giant shield came up around the Guard, having the magic bounce into Chrysalis, hitting her right-wing and having her fall.

"Well thank you for having tea time with me Aunty" Princess Cadence thanked, walking out before a Royal Unicorn Guard came suddenly and went to the older alicorn.

"Princess Celestia, Shinning Armor has been found dead!'

"WHat!?" Cadence screamed, pushing the stallion back a bit, only to hold him and stare. "What did you say?"

"C-captain Shinning Armor was found dead in a cave somewhere in Canterlot city. Captain was looking for any more sightings of Changelings. When going in the same way, there was a passage way that led to somewhere new. Apparently Queen Chrysalis had not been captured and was actually in hiding in the new cave. We had seen this and had fought our hardest but Our leader had sadly gone early. But as our duties and honor, we have gotten Queen Chrysalis and have murdered her immediately."

Cadence opened her mouth widely. This morning when asking him to check if there were any more changeling, she didn't suspect herself to be right. Why was there Changelings actually there? Why was she right? WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN??? Why to her Shinning Armor?

Princess Cadence looked down, getting the message through her head, re-hearing and re-hearing the news. The news of her dead husband. How it was her fault. How she shouldn't have bagered him about it. How....How could she? Now he's dead. Making him do it and having him dead.

Cadence shoved her way from the royal guard, running head first into any area away from where she heard the news. The pink Princess closed her eyes tightly, feeling as hot tears came down quickly, marking streaks down her face.

Cadence sobbed, opening her eyes and looking around, seeing that four guards were carrying a stretcher. Over the stretcher, she could see her husband, her dead, blackened, frizzed and singed husband. Why would I allow this? she thought. Why would I do this!?

She watched as the stretcher came closer to her aunt, watching as she saw the stallion. Seeing and judging and possibly thinking about what Cadence had done.

Cadence let out a shaky breath, watching in disbelief. She shivered and sniffled, putting a hoof to her mouth. Feeling this way, Cadence ran as fast as she could like the coward she was, down the hallway, up the stairs, in her room and locking the door.

Celestia looked down at Shinning Armor. The stretcher came closer to her, stopping and asking what they should do with him. Celestia didn't answer, putting her hoof out and touching the stallion. She put her hoof on his cold body, feeling nothing. The Princesses ears drooped, seeing there was no life left in the stallion at all. She took her hoof back and wished him to have a pleasant time in the land above or wherever his soul might be. Princess Celestia moved her head up slowly looking at the Guard who also had a depressed aura around him.

"Bring him to the same place I asked to put King Sombra. But do not wrap him, we will have a funeral later on"
She whispered.

The stallions nodded their heads, slowly trotting back and to the area where the other stallion was. When they were gone, Celestia walked away from the tea table slowly making her way to Cadences room.

"Princess Celestia, it is time fo-" the mare froze, seeing the Princess not even notice her. She quickly trotted up to the Princess, looking to see if anything was wrong.

"Raven?"

"Yes Princess?"

"Take off the events for the rest of the evening, we have a funeral to propose."

Raven stayed quiet, scratching off things on her checklist. Both mares stayed quiet until they came into Princess Cadences room. Celestia wished it wasn't true. She was just having a good time with her niece in such a long time. Now this happened. Also that her best guard, Shinning Armor and one of her friends, were gone forever.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Several weeks later...

An array of horns sounded out, blowing until 2 mares came into sight.

Both mares starred off of the balcony, looking at the members of the new and improved Kingdom. The balcony was blue, having shimmers and shines all around it while on the floor where the other ponies where a solid purple ground was. The ponies standing on the ground where different types of races of pony, Unicorn, Pegasus and Earth pony. Although mainly unicorn were present.

"Hello and welcome all to the new and improved Crystal empire!" Said the mare an the left with a multicolor mane. The mare on the right smiled, almost looked as if it was forced.

"Today we are gathered here to officially open this Kingdom to all you lovely subjects! But, Princess Cadence would first like to give a small speech!"

Princess Celestia looked at the mare beside her, seeing that she was in a slouched position, looking down and timid. Celestia moved down beside the mare.

"I'm sure you will be fine Cadence. I put my faith in your abilities."

Celestia, pushed the pink Princess some, nudging her to speak. Cadence looked up, seeing many ponies staring at her, waiting for what she had to say. Princess Cadence smiled again, putting on some confidence and starting to speak.

"I would like to say thank you for coming here and wanting to be in the Crystal community. Thank you all so much for coming and wanting to be part of my humble kingdom!"

Cadence gave a big smile before turning around and looking a Celestia.

Celestia watched the mare before turning back to the crowd. "We will now clip the ceremonial ribbon and then we can start the celebration!"

Princess Celestia opened her wings and decided to fly down to the crowd of civilians. When getting to the bottom she stepped all four hooves onto the ground, then quickly close her wings. Expecting her niece to follow in her movements, she looked to the side only to see no one there. Turning around fully she looked around until she could see a slow walking Cadence, inching her way closer to the crowd.

When the Princess of love finally came, she watched as Princess Celestia gripped a side of giant scissor in her magic. After looking at her for a few seconds, Cadence realized and slowly lifted the other side of the scissors, opening it up. The two moved their magic together and cut the ribbon, having a cheer follow after wards.

Cadence dropped the scissor and started walking back to the castle.
"Oh but wait, Princess Cadence has one last job to do. She has to work the Crystal heart to show you the full work of the Crystal Empire."

Cadence stopped and listened to the crowd of gasps and what's before turning around. She walked to the right and started coming to the Crystal Heart. Some ponies followed while others stayed where they were. When a few came close, Cadence put on another fake smile and started her horn. Concentration
filling her, she started sending out waves of love making sure it was only directed towards the heart. Without the love of the Love Princess to the Crystal Heart then it wouldn't work at all she thought. After a bit of huffing and puffing the heart started spinning. Watching it, it began to go quicker. When it started spinning outragesley fast, Princess Cadence shielded a nearby pony, putting her hooves and wings up to block the gust of wind that might blow the pony back. A giant shine came up and smothered the whole area quickly making every pony close their eyes. After hearing nothing, the ponies opened their eyes once again to see their coats shone and had a similar design to a Crystal. Some ponies cheers, others gasped once more.

Cadence lastly opened her eyes, seeing that she too had token the form of being crystal like. She looked down at herself, smiling a little bit in feeling strange joy in being a crystal. Cadence looked up, seeing that her Aunt was also staring back, smiling widely. Then she remembered what she second ago, the action of what she did reminding her of some pony. Some pony special, Some pony, who was supposed to be with her right now to enjoy the happiness. Some pony she misses ever so dearly. That pony being Prince Shinning Sparkle Armor.

Princess Cadences knees quivered, making her drop to the floor. A couple unicorns came to her side wanting to ask if she was alright, before Princess Celestia came and started helping her up.

"I apologize little ponies. Princess Cadence is just a bit tired from working out her spell" Celestia lied smoothly, seeing no pony questioned it. The love Princess shakily got to her hooves, getting up and looking at her subjects.

"I apologize, your Princess has been somewhat nervous, for this." Said the Pink mare unsuringly.

"You may all start the festival now if you wish, I will take Princess Cadence to the castle and bring her back to enjoy with you."

Princess Celestia smiled somewhat big before flying back to the balcony and into the Castle. Some ponies sat and waited while others shook their heads and went about the festival.

One pony walked through the opening gate of the Crystal Empire, seeing that Princess Celestia had just left into the castle.

"Darn. If only I came here sooner" grumbled the voice.
