Flora grew up in the royal Mythwing palace- with absolutely no freedom of her own. Her parents, King Phoenix and Queen Reborn keep pressuring her to be the best. She hates life as a princess, which will get worse, because she is to be crowned at age...
Today was the day. The day everything would change.
Flora woke up and walked groggily to the bathroom to wash her face. What happened yesterday had really drained her energy and she was hungry AF, so she went down to the dining room, only to be mobbed by literally everyone in the palace.
"Flora!" Rose cried. Rose was one of Flora's favorite servants, and one of her closest friends. Rose had dark pink scales and white floral designs on her body, along with yellow blotches here and there.
"Rose! How've you been?" Flora exclaimed as Rose squeezed the sleepiness out of her. "Worried about you, of course! Why would you disappear like that, leaving everyone wondering where you are?! And on the night before your big day??!!"
"I'm sorry, Rose. I was fighting with mom and well...I needed some time alone to cool off. I snuck back into the palace using the back entrance at night, when everyone was still searching the town." Flora left out the important parts for obvious reasons.
"Well, at least you're HERE right now, safe and sound. Now do yourself a favor and eat some breakfast, before you collapse! I made your favorite whipped cream cinnamon pancakes just for you."
"Thank you, Rose." Sure enough, the princess ate like a pig, wolfing down the pancakes as if she didn't eat in a long time. It sure felt that way, though.
"Rose, do you know where my parents are?"
She sighed. "Flora, your mom is really mad with you. She and your father couldn't sleep well that night, so they're taking time to rest. You've got about three hours before the ceremony, so would suggest going to the spa. You need some time to relax and a good makeover."

(Time skip)
By the time Flora was done with her makeover, she felt like she had a few extra pounds put on. The claw cures and face masks were the good part, but they put on loads of mascara and claw polish on her as well. She had on a huge flower crown and several flower necklaces and bracelets which made her look way too much. The dragons who did her outfit and makeup said that the queen specially requested this look when Flora asked them to go easy with the eyeliner.
Flora was standing on the balcony out on the front of the palace. It was like a big stage, but it wasn't that high off the ground, and with room for Flora's parents and friends to stand behind her.
Flora looked down and saw the whole Mythwing tribe looking up at her, some of the faces she recognized. She immediately felt stressed. How was she going to lead them all? And especially if she can't even lead them the way she wants to, no, she has to be all diplomatic and formal instead of straightforward.
She looked behind her and saw her friends Blossom and Iris coming out, who looked shinier and cleaner than usual.
"Guys, you made it!"
"Of course we did!" Blossom exclaimed. "You really thought we would miss our number one bestie getting promoted?" Iris rolled his eyes.
"It's pronounced coronation," Flora doubled over in laughter.
"Flora, we heard that you disappeared yesterday night after you left us. Is everything okay?"Blossom asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I had a fight with my mom and ran off to cool down. Yeah, don't worry about me, I'm...I'm fine. I got this."
A/N- the scenelooks a lot like this, except they're not that high off the ground, just so you get what's happening
