Actions Have Consequences
Twilight burst into the room to see a terrified nurse, food and drink scattered about, and three guards holding an unconscious girl on the floor. To say she wasn't happy with this would be an underestimation of her anger.
"What in Celestia's name is going on in here, Lieutenant front and center now!" The lieutenant quickly complied. Though now he was face to face with an angry princess.
"Lieutenant Shock Sheild! Do you or your men have any idea what you have just done?"
"Princess if I may she was using elemental magic. Which is-"
"Do NOT preach to me about elemental magic and it's dangers Lieutenant. I studied under Celestia herself I am well aware!" Twilight took a calming breath before asking.
"What kind of Elemental magic did she use Lieutenant?" Shock seemed slightly taken back by Twilight's calmed demeanor but was quick to answer.
"She used elemental water magic your highness I didn't know-" Twilight silenced him with a raised hand and rubbed her temples in frustration.
"That's right you didn't... water elementals are not the most dangerous Lieutenant. Alright since your so confident answer me this lieutenant Shock Sheild, do you know how strong a developing elemental is when they first discover their power?"
......
Twilight stepped closer locking their eyes "When an elemental first discovers their powers they are incredibly weak. They are no threat to a squad of guards nevermind a kingdom." Twilight sighs again "Dare I ask what was she even doing with the water?"
"She was uhh" he swallows "She had created a ball of water in her hand and was staring at it. Princess please she could have been-" Twilight silenced him as angry expression once again grew on her face.
"You assaulted this girl because she and I quote had a ball of water in her hand and was staring at it." A drop of sweat steadily rolled down the face of every guard near. "Lieutenant from here until further action is taken by Princess Cadence you are no longer in command of this squad. You will not act to do any further harm to this girl and if you do... I will punish you myself, Now get out of my sight."
Sighing she rubs her forehead with her hand. "Where is Spike when I need him?" Walking out into the hall she comes face to face with three people the still shocked nurse Ruby Heart,Starlight and...Spike! Thank you convention timing. She thinks a smile doning her face.
"Starlight why you're here doesn't matter. Twilight points into the room. "Get in there and make sure those idiots do no further harm comes to the girl..please." Starlight looked apprehensive at first but quickly built her courage.
"Of course Twilight" She walks in past Twilight positioning herself between the two remaining guards and the woman she brought here.
Now Twilight turns to address the nurse "Nurse Art I'm sure you have many questions but can we save them for a more calm period of time?" After a few seconds the nurse Ruby Heart takes a deep breath and sighs silently agreeing. Twilight gives her a grateful smile. "Spike I need you to come with me. I need to get a situation report to Celestia asap."
"You got it Twilight" Spike said quickly complying. Though he had his own questions Spike knew now wasn't the time so he just agreed and hoped for more later.
Twilight's timing was as good as ever as luckily enough for her Celestia received the letter just as she was ending court for the day so the response was swift.
My Deatest Twilight,
I have to say I'm more intrigued by this than particularly worried. However I must warn you to stay vigilant and on guard. Beings with elemental abilities do still crop up from time to time. Many are still out there and unknown to even through my long life. I shall let you oversee this however I ask that this women is brought to Equestria for her protection. Take your time with this endeavor as it is not easily accomplished. Please stay safe.
Yours, Celestia
Twilight wasn't sure about this Celestia seemed to know more on the subject of elementals but she was in no position to question her mentor at this time. She would have to wait. For the moment she needed to arrange teansport to the castle and have a discussion with Cadence. Perhaps she knows more.
Soon enough a large transport arrived and after making sure everything was ready we boarded. The troops Shock Sheild's men loaded the girl inside. It disheartened me to see she was still heavily bound.
"Is this really needed? She's no threat to us." Twilight states to the group as she notices the girl is more bound than before. "What is this?!" She shouts to them. One of them responds.
"Princess Cadenza's orders ma'am, The subject is to be secured to make sure no threat is posed to the people or royal family." Ohh Twilight was gonna have a word with Cadence when they arrived.
"Ohhh" Twilight shot her head to the source of the noise. Felix next to seemed to be starting to wake up. And she wasn't happy. "Ohh god my head" Felix looked around and after a moment noticed the restraints binding his hands and arms. "What the hell!" He said slightly fighting his all to tight bindings. Looking around confused Felix suddenly came apon the sight of Twilight and focused on her. Although trusting Twilight might be foolish currently what choice did he have. "Twilight what's going on? where are we!?"
Twilight look at him a sad smile adorns her lips. "I'm sorry Felix but it seems my sister in law has deemed you a threat to her kingdom and people. We are currently going to the castle." Felix is shocked by this and about to freak out again when Twilight kneels down in front of him placing her hands on his shoulders. Felix stays listening to her their eyes locked.
"Felix listen to me I need you to stay calm. I know your scared but I will be having a serious talk with her as soon as I physical can. When we get there you can't fight them. If you do they may not be as forgiving as the lieutenant at the hospital. Do you understand?"
"Wha... what's gonna happen to me?" Felix's tone drips with fear causing Twilight to bring her closer.
"I'm not sure Felix but I promise you I will do everything in my power to help you. Okay?" Twilight asks letting go and looking at me again. I can only find the confidence to nod as my body begins to shake. "For now this should help with that headache." Twilight says focusing magic onto the developing bruise on my head the ache slowly subsides as I fall into a blissful dark sleep.
Soon we all arrived at the palace. It took less time than expected as Starlight, myself and the three guardsmen from the hospital exit and are met by two squads of guards and Shining Armor. The Lieutenant from the hospital walks up and salutes only to get gut punched by the prince.
"Lieutenant you are a disgrace to this guard and while I would love nothing more than to beat you senseless." He takes a breath. "We have more important things to worry about. Now do us all a favor and all three of you get out of my sight!" With a hand on his stomach the guard staggers away quietly his orher two follow quickly.
Shining sighs "Twilight, it's good to see you I'm sorry it couldn't be under better circumstances."
Smiling I shake my head "No apology needed brother I understand how busy you can get here." The two come together in a small hug before Twilight pulls away and clears her throat.
"Alright all of you listen up. The elemental girl is secured in the transport behind me. She is currently unconscious and she will be scared apon waking. If I hear any harm comes to her I will deal with you myself. No princess or prince will get between us am I clear!?"
"Yes Princess!" The surrounding guards response immediately.
Twilight lets out another sigh "Alright Shining do what you must, I need to speak to Cadence." She begins walking into the palace. The sound of rustling chains and creaking wood filling the air behind her.
"Princess Mi Amor'e Cadenza!" A very upset Twilight yelled out as she shoved the throne room doors open. The princess in question jumped at the sudden unexpected arrival. Her eyes widened as she realized her royal title was used. Twilight was pissed. Quickly composing herself she desended to her friend turned fellow princess.
"Twilight how good it is to see you what brings-" Slap. Cadence brings her hand to her stinging cheek her eyes wide with shock at what Twilight had just hit her.
"Don't give me that royal speech crap Cadence! I had everything under control until your guards assaulted a girl who didn't understand what was happening or what kind of powers she had." Twilight takes a calming breath (even if shakey) and lock her eyes with her fellow princess.
Cadence now composed responded swiftly and effectively.
"Twilight sometimes we all do things we don't like however if you think that girl is no threat what so ever you are wrong. She has powers she can't control and doesn't understand. She will be going to Equestria soon. And one last thing..." Cadence brings Twilight closer by grabbing her hair. "Do not question my judgement when it comes to the safety of my people." The Princesses eyes remained lock for a moment longer before Cadence lets go and Twilight turned away.
"You may have seniority on this but remember that no matter how much older you may be. Age does not make you smarter. I believe your daughter is an example for this." With that Twilight walks out the door leaving Cadence with the silence left behind.
Cadence for her part ran a hand through her hair before taking a letter out from between her breasts. "I'm sorry Twilight but sometimes one must be given for the greater good."
Opening the letter Cadence focused on the last line.
'Don't worry she'll be fine'
Yours, Celestia
Cadence had never read a bigger lie.
In the Dungeon
Sometimes it seems that people don't like me. Some say it's an attitude I have. Others say I'm not mature. You know what I have to say... Screw them I've been lauched threw space and time, assaulted, chained and now I'm sitting in a dungeon fastened to a wall via armbinder\cuffs, tight leather collar, and ankle cuffs. If anyone knows the definition containment it's these people.
I'd be yelling at the guards some more if my throat wasn't so parched. All I've had for liquids since arriving in this empire was a single sip of water. Before being attacked and knocked out That Shock is a dick. Did I make it clear I hate these damn guards yet? Waking up while getting dragged in chain has that effect. Question is what do they want with me?
As I contemplate this possibility I lay my head against the cool stone wall finding it to be quite damp dispite how sturdy the place seemed. Eyes snapping open I realize something. Water down here. 'Could that mean what I did at the hospital I could do here too?' It seemed possible but how would I go about doing that again?
'Did I really need my hands to control the water? Unlikely as it seemed I can't remember enough. So I guess it's worth a shot. Okay so now how to start?' Focusing on what I felt in the hospital I felt faint tingles in my arms. I just needed a little more...
A deep thud sounded through the dark hall startling me out of my focused state. Now back to my current predicament I listened to the footsteps echoing off the stone walls.
"Great who's coming now?" I muttered annoyed with my lack of progress in figuring out what I could do.
"Gentlemen if you would kindly unlock the door I'd like to speak with our guest." I knew that voice! The door unlocked with a large clunk and in stepped the one person in this hell I could seem to trust.
"Twilight?" The Princess in question stepped fully inside the cell shaking her head as she saw how I was being held. Sighing she kneeled infront of me.
"Oh Felix... I'm so sorry about all this." This apology wasn't unforseen by me as she appeared to be the only one who treated me with respect.
"Twilight, it's not your fault don't apologize for something you didn't cause. It doesn't fit you." Twilight smiled briefly before it disappeared and she turned away. "Twilight... what's wrong?"
She sighs "It seems your going to be held for longer that I anticipated. The Princesses want to bring you to Equestria to decide what they will do...and if your a threat..."
"If I'm deemed a threat..?" I asked dreading the answer but I needed to know.
If you are deemed a threat... well I'm not sure. Elemental magic and or abilities as you appear to have based on what I know their are three possibilities. You could be seeled away in stone. You could be be banished to tarturus. Or in the worst case..."
"I'd be killed..." Twilight didn't have the heart to speak the words I could tell her throat was tightening in anguish. Anguish for me.
I hoped Twilight and this other princess were on good terms... if not this was gonna go downhill fast in the coming days.
