The New Princess

Chapter 9: The story of the future princess

No one's POV

They all walked towards the living room with large couches and bean bags.

"I called you all for a meeting for 2 reasons" Princess Celestia started "One is I want to tell you all a story-"

"Yay!!! Story time" Pinkie pie said excitedly jumping up and down landing on her belly with her front hooves on her face.

"Pinkie, don't interrupt the princess" Rarity said annoyed.

"Sorry, Princess" Pinkie apologized.

"It's quite alright Rarity. But if you don't mind I would like you all to get closer." Celestia said "Including you all" She said looking towards Soarin, his family and Shinning Armor. They all sat closer with Celestia being in front of them and a fireplace behind her.

"Okay so what are the 2 things you want to tell us Princess?" Spitfire curiously asked.

"Well one is-"

"One is that it's the story of a princess with a prophecy and two is to ask for permission" Cecilia interrupted "I'm sorry Loku ammi but you were taking an awfully lot of time"

"Cecilia this is not how a princess should act" Cadence scolded.

"Okay and Soarin gets to do whatever the things he wants" Cecilia grumbled to the fact she has to act like a princess.

"Just shut up and let Loku ammi do the talking" Roseline suggested in a bit of aggressive way. "Continue Loku ammi" she said calmly.

"Okay so my niece just told you the 2 things I was going to tell you so let's just start with the story:

Asher was the youngest member of the Skies family, and my sister, Princess Iduna, wished for him to have a godmother. She chose an Aeatrian woman named Elara Lysandra, a friend from a neighboring kingdom, different from Enchancia, where Soarin was born. At that time, Elara already had a son, and Soarin was only three years old when Elara was named his godmother. Three years later, Elara had an unexpected daughter, whom she named Angeline.

Little did they know, there was an ancient prophecy that foretold:

'In the time of twilight's grace, when kingdoms rise and fall, the youngest Prince of the Skies shall be bound by fate to an Aeatria-born godmother. She shall have a daughter, destined to wear the crown and take the throne as princess of a land in need. When the age of 22 is reached, the prince shall train her, guiding her through the trials that prepare a ruler's heart and mind. Yet as the coronation nears, a shadow shall descend—darkness shall rise to challenge the princess's worth. Only by transforming this dark magic into a force of good shall she prove herself worthy and claim victory over the night. Thus, the kingdom shall see a true Queen ascend, born from light's embrace and darkness's redemption.'

My mother, Galaxia, revealed the prophecy to us, but we kept it from Asher and Angeline. Asher Skies, Angeline Lysandra, and her older brother, Cassian Lysandra, were childhood best friends, and we thought it best to protect them from the weight of such a destiny. However, not telling Angeline the truth turned out to be our greatest mistake."

"The biggest mistake, I'd still cry for what happened until I found her again" Soarin (I'm just gonna call him Asher) said

"Found who Soarin?" Fluttershy asked out of curiousity.

"You'll understand later on" Agnaar retorted.

"Come on... Why do you leave us with a question mark Soarin? Just tell it!!" Fleetfoot grumbled. 

He looked towards them and said "You know how I love leaving you all with question without answering them?"

"Yeah? Like all the time Ash" Cadence chuckled.
