The Last Alicorn

On the day that I am to be crowned the new ruler, Smolder puts the finishing touches on the crown that she and Gallus have been making for me. Yona starts helping my escorts get ready for the ceremony, Silverstream helps me put my coronation dress on, and Ocellus goes at my mane to make sure I look beautiful. When the time comes, I get ready behind the doors to the main hall and my escorts stand on ether side of me with the fabric held over my head. When the doors open and the trumpets blare, I walk proudly forward with a smile on my face. My mane is thoroughly combed and braided, smooth as silk, and filled with sparkly rhinestones. My dress is a bright purple with gold colored streaks in intricate patterns around the edges. My eyes glow as I step up to the throne and turn to face everyone. The spirits of Mom, Aunt Twilight, Luna, Celestia, and all of Aunt Twilight's friends materialize behind me and Aunt Twilight speaks to the audience.

"I never thought that my dreams would be shattered by betrayal and conflict between the races all these years ago. However, my precious niece did what I had prayed for when she was taken to be put in stasis. She has brought peace and order back to Equestria and ended the war."

The audience cheers and claps as I take a bow. Then, Mom and Aunt Twilight have me turn to face them.

"I know you will do spectacular as you take on the role of being the new ruler of the land.", Aunt Twilight says.

"Do your best, my little snowflake.", Mom says as she kisses me on the nose.

Smolder walks up and kneels down as she holds up my crown. It is made of solid 24k gold, shaped similar to a helmet and has a small sculpture of an alicorn on top, along with velvet fabric on the interior. It is encrusted with the Sun Gems that I wore on hair clips when I was a baby, along with sapphires, rubies, emeralds, and a large diamond on the front. I kneel down to have my crown put on. Aunt Twilight uses her magic to pick the crown up and then places it gently on my head. I feel it settle in my mane and then I open my eyes and stand up. I follow Celestia and Luna to the balcony overlooking the courtyard where more guests are gathered below.

"BEHOLD, QUEEN FLURRY HEART!", they shout at the top of their lungs.

The courtyard erupts with applause. Streamers are being shot, cameras are flashing as my picture is taken, fireworks explode in flashes of color overhead, and Rainbow Dash performs her famous Sonic Rainboom.

"I hereby declare that the Crystal Empire be united with the rest of Equestria to form one larger nation, the Equestrian Empire", I yell out as my first decree.

The crowds begin cheering louder with excitement and I watch as the spirits fly upward into the heavens. Tears roll down my cheeks as I think about when I will join them again.

The next twelve years pass swiftly as new innovations are made to the nation and new rulers are elected. Later on, I meet a handsome alicorn stallion by the name of Zephyr Cosmos. His mane is a deep navy blue and sparkles like the stars in the night sky. He tells me that he was born 17 years before the start of the war, his mother died giving birth to him, and his father was killed in the war. Prior to joining the war, his father had placed him in a special stasis crystal in the Galloping Gorge that nurtured him and allowed him to grow up in secret. Six months after meeting Zephyr, he proposes to me at the beach during a vacation and I accept.

In the following month, we marry and hope to have children to inherit the throne. Life in the nation continues to be happy and peaceful, just as it was before the war started.
