This Kingdom of Mine
Chapter 2: %Chapter 2: A Journey Not to Forget%
Previous Chapter Next ChapterIt was 12:00 midnight and Twilie could not sleep, She kept thinking and asking herself “why? Why would she say such a thing? Why didn't she answer my question? Why the journey and all of Equestria? There is something that she isn't telling me!” She quietly cried but Spike could hear her, he was worried about her. Since she had come back from Canterlot her head had lye low all evening and barely ate supper, the clock kept ticking from minutes to hours until it finally hit 6:00AM, she pulled herself out of bead.
Spike got up early to make breakfast for her, blueberry pancake delight Twilight's favorite but she walked passed by it.
“Twilight, this is your favorite, please eat your worrying me!” The young dragon clenched his claws.
she smiled, “Thank you spike but I'm not hungry, I'm going to need you to stay and watch over the castle kay?"
Spike's claws clenched even harder, "But Twilight I-" the young princess put a hoof on her dragon friend.
"I know you want to come but I need you here okay." He then nodded.
She flew to the Canterlot castle, as Celestia opened the door she was shocked at the way Twilight looked, her eyes were shot red her mane barely combed as if she had been up all night which she had been.
“Were you up all night?”
“Yes I was! Let's get this show on the road cuz I not gonna get any till you tell me what's going on!”
The fatigue finally got to the purple princess.
“Oh Twilight, I didn't mean to worry you this much!”
“well you did.” She said in slight frustration, Celestia was nearly surprised of her tone but she couldn't blame her for it.
They had been flying in the royal carriage for hours now and the young princess had fallen asleep, Celestia let her nap and even combed out her mane a little while she was but, couldn't keep the conversation reviewing in her head. How would she tell the new royal what truly is about to happen? When should she tell her, during the trip or after they get there? She preplanned to tell her after they get there so she could understand fully without distraction but she wanted to get her emotion inside out of the way, It almost made her feel guilty putting such a burden on her successful student but there is more to tell her. It was lunch time and she poked at the peaceful princess by her side.
“It is time to eat you will need it.” Twilight was confused but then realized she had slept through.
Sitting in front of the window in the little cafe, the waitress came in a special attitude
for it isn't to often two princesses come to their UN-royal restaurant.
“May I help you your majesty?” the waitress bowed to both of them, Celestia smiled and looked down to her pamphlet.
“Well.. I would like to have a pot of tea for me and my friend and hmm.. so many choices, I think I'll try a plain daisy sandwich, haven't had that in a long time.” The waitress looked at her in slight confusion, she expected her to order something more extravagant and expensive but wrote it down anyway.
“Umm.. I will have the same.” Twilight put down her pamphlet in anxiousness for she wanted to get the conversation rolling right away. The waitress nodded, jot it down, bowed, then walked away.
Celestia was also anxious about what Twilight may ask about, “SO! How has my most loyal student been.”
Twilight looked up at her “ Why are you acting like this? No disrespect of course but, you send me for some.. heavy.. burdening news then, now.. It's like... *sigh like your,” she looked down then up to meet her eyes again in a low voice, “Hiding something from me.” Celestia clenched her lip, “Is it because of me?” Twilight began to tear up.
“Oh no, I don't have anything against you. I honestly didn't mean to put so much weight on you like this. Where we are going is a wonderful place nothing like you have ever seen.” She smiled.
The young princess smeared the tear rolling down her face, “So it's not me?”
“No of course not, I am always here for you Twilight.” the purple alicorn smiled.
After lunch they were off to the sky again, soon the smell of ocean filled the air and the cool breeze smashed the faces of the alicorns and Pegasuses, they landed on the ground and came to a stop.
“Where are we?” Twilight wondered.
“We must go by foot and flight now, for they cannot come with us.” She looked at the royal pegasi as they bowed and said nothing.
It was a long walk but it was nice for they were in the carriage for hours and hours, The sun was ready to set as Celestia walked through the crisp cool grass, she used her magic to slowly put the sun under the horizon. “We are almost there, what I'm about to show you is a big secret among all leaders in dimensions and worlds and must tell no one about.”
“Dimensions and worlds?” Twilight was puzzled.
“Yes it is a special place and only one like it so it must be protected.” After she had finished her sentence, she stopped using her magic and the moon was taking the sun's place in the dark star crested sky.
They quickly flew over the rocks, they were at a cliffs edge wall at the bottom and the waves gently moved amongst the rocks. The sun queen looked out into the deep cave they came upon and walked into it using her yellow glowing magic to see there way through.
“It's a.. cave? There are lots of caves.”
“Yes Twilight it is a cave but not just any cave.” The more she went on the more Twilight was confused about the whole thing, as they were walking Celestia had stopped at a wall surrounded by stalagmites and stalactites as if there was supposed to be an entrance, Celestia put her horn near this entrance then another world appeared through.
