Your head throbbed as you let out groan of pain, you looked around to see your leg in a cast along with bandages on your head, you looked around the room to see your flat cap on a nearby table. You let out a sigh of relief as it was an important part of your person it was something you needed on you. You looked to your left to see Dago his eyes closed as he had a few scratch marks on his forehead.

"Dago! You're okay." You happily mention smiling as your head went on the tough pillow that you laid on. You let groan as you finally felt at peace, all of Dagos' question weren't answer but he had you to lead the way to a new horizon.

You lifted up your hand and moved your hand in a complete circle as petal few around your hand. Looking at your left hand you created a solid rose, its thorns still on. You let out a sigh and felt at peace. But not completely everything that had happen in the short time out of the castle made you worry. Mostly about Dago, you worried if he'd be okay in your mind you thought so, but you really couldn't figure it out.

The door to your left slowly opened revealing your mother as she had a smile on her, you were to distracted by a rose you created and began to make it flow around your hand. The grace and beauty made the past few hours just leave your mind, you sighed and looked to the end of your bed. There stood your mother as she smiled.

"Oh hey mom." You say with a sigh, before laying your head on the pillow once more.

"So how are you?" You chuckled and looked at her smiling a bit.

"As good as anybody could when their friend hurts them self to help another and then ends up passing out from a roof in." You mention with a smile.

"So not all that great?" She asks

"Mom, please."

"I know I know, I'm sorry honey. Ya know when the princess told us about you being in the hospital me and your dad thought you were just going in for a check up, we never expected to be seeing you with a broken leg. Rarity and Sweetie Belle are pretty worried about you, they were clamoring to see their big brother." You smiled and nodded.

"Are you, ya know mad at me forgetting hurt?" You asked with curiosity as she shakes her head and gets close to you.

"Don't worry, I'm not mad. I'm just so happy you're okay, it scared me when Celestia told us about your injury." She sighs as she sits next to you, humming a short song. "I also found out my little boy is actually a prince! Oh it's just so amazing!"

You sighed and looked down, you were a little disappointed about being a prince. You felt as if you're not truly a prince, something you never thought even possible.

"I don't want to be a prince mom, I don't know the first thing about being princely. I just don't like it either it feels too weird." You mention with a sigh.

"Why? Your real mother is a queen, somepony to be respected. Don't you want to be with her?" She asks

"Not really, I just don't feel like a prince. I was raised by a couple of parents who work for living and tried hard to give me what I wanted, I don't want to be pampered by her I don't want ponies to see me as that. A pampered moron who couldn't do anything by himself, I just want to be normal. But I can't be normal either, I don't know I think I'm just complaining way too much." She brushes your hair and smiles.

"Even if you can't be normal, and even if you're a prince. You need to be strong and show ponies that you're strong no matter what they tell you, you're sweet young colt whose loving, caring, and all around great to be around. You're even popular with fillies, you have so many qualities to you and I know you'll be a great king even if you're different. Also she's your mother, she gave birth to you in White Leaf. An area of Terra known for the greenery, your magic would be stable there, please don't ignore your roots to White Leaf." You looked at her and back down.

"I don't want my title to block me from being Rarity and Sweetie's older brother, they're my sisters even if they're not biologically connected to me."

"Then take them with you, Rarity always wanted to visit a castle. She was so jealous when you got to live in Canterlot and I'm sure she'll love it there too." She informs smiling a bit.

"Mom?" You asked

"Yes honey?" She replies

"Will I still be a part of your family, I mean will you still welcome me and feed me like I was your flesh and blood. Like I was never a prince in the first place?"

"No, you were always prince in my eyes and you being in this family and your biological family will never change that. Your room will stay the same along with everything you could possibly want." You smiled and nodded. "And Aiden, if you don't want to be alone with your mother, Carmelita, you could always bring Rarity and Sweetie Belle with you."

"They'd want to come with me?"

"You are their big brother, and they'd always want to follow you, anywhere you'd want to go." She mentions with a giggle. "You're my adorable Pink Teddy Bear." Blushing you looked down with embarrassment, even if your mom was sometimes silly and gave you names you always hated that one. Pink Teddy Bear was a name given to you when you were 5 and you hated that name.

"I'm just glad Dago isn't awake to hear that, he'd never let it go." She giggles a bit and brushes your mane.

"You owe him a big thank you, Princess Celestia informed me that she saw a bright light coming from the forest and she feared the worst. She saw you and Dago just knocked out and unable to move." You nodded and looked towards Dago his snores were loud as he tried to get rest.

"Thanks friend." Letting out a sigh you closed your eyes and began to think. The rock you held in your very hands glowed in your hands, only one half of it glowed while the other half stayed off. Something must've been wrong with it and you needed to solve what was happening.

"Ugh my head." Dago moaned as he looked up to see you with your mom.

"Hehe you're finally up." You say with a smile.

"Huh?" Dago looks towards the left of him to see you and your mom. "Miss, If I may ask…where am I?" He asks

"You're in Ponyville general hospital, I was told that you saved my son thank you." Your mother said with a smile.

"Wait what? Oh no, no, you must be mistaken miss, I couldn't have saved him I kind of passed out before the wall/cave in." Dago informs

"Not really, with no sunlight and me being tired and hungry, I couldn't do much, your wings just suddenly glowed and the rocks from the cave in destroyed. Oh and look at the back of your hand." You mention with a smile.

Dago gives a look of confusion, but looks at the back of his hand and shook his head when he sees a blue sun mark with the image of clouds inside with 2 silver symbols of winds spiraling around it. "I-is this a dream?"

"You can try wiping it off to see if it's fake." You joked with a smile.

He tries to wipe off the mark only to wipe nothing, but fur.

"It's real! What does it means?" He shouts with excitement.

"According to the princess it appears to represent your control over the sky itself, and after you lifted the entire castle in the the air, I think she's correct." Your mother mentions.

"I did what?!" Dago shout in disbelief.

"Yeah before I passed out I saw everything." You mention.

"Its quite adorable actually, the princess of the sun and her son following her in her hoofsteps by becoming the ruler of the sky itself, like mother like sun I suppose." She mentions.

"Don't worry about my moms silly puns you get use to it." You whisper to Dago with a soft chuckle.

"Its ok." He whispers back. "Speaking of moms, have you seen mine?" He then remembers and looks down. "She doesn't want to see me huh? I wouldn't blame her, she probably hates me now."

"I don't think so, she's probably still worried about you. But there's something you gotta do, apologize to both Ms.Carmelita and your mom. Carmelita for taking me after our little reunion and Celestia yelling about the truth." You informed.

"Yeah I should probably be on my way then." Dago says as he stands up.

"You aren't going anywhere sweetheart, stay put and heal." Celestia informs as she enters the room.

"Mom!" Dago runs towards her and gives her a hug. "Mom I-I'm so sorry for yelling at you, I shouldn't have said what I said. I was just so mad by the constant lies. Would you forgive me?"

"Of course I forgive you, you're my sweet sweet little boy." She mentions as she hugs him back.

"Thank you mom." He then shows her his cutie mark smiling as he does. "Mom, look I finally got it! I got my cutie mark and it looks a little like yours!"

"I know I've seen it and I've seen many wondrous when you two left something different, but lets not worry about it now."

"Ok…and how is queen Carmelita doing?" Dago asks

"She's doing a lot better, she was afraid of Aiden's safety. She seemed to care so much about him to the point of almost crying when she saw his injuries."

"But I'm fine, really." You say to Celestia.

"Oh she is probably a bit angry at me right?"

"She's just happy that you're okay, she's sensitive to pony's health." Celestia mentions

"Still I think I need to say sorry, so I better." He begins to waddle a bit before falling onto the ground.

"Not yet, not until you're okay?" Celestia mentions with a smile as she puts him back into the bed

"And how long will it be before that?" He asks

"Just for today. Or if Aiden feels up to it he may be able to heal your wounds." She says with a smile.

"R-really, but I only practiced it on lizard and broken tree branches." You say with a smile.

"Yeah, I think I'll choose traditional medicine no offense, Aiden, I just don't want to be a test subject." Dago then takes a look at Cookie smiling a bit. "And miss, does Aiden have 2 moms now? Because I remembered that the queen is single."

"We've discussed it and Aiden seems to agree, he'd like to be with Carmelita, but he wants to stay in Equestria to finish up his studies."

"That sounds great and really promising, the queen can visit and she can introduce him to the princess or rather his cousin."

"Wait I have a cousin?" You asked

"You didn't tell him?" Dago asks

"Ah I must've forgotten, yes Aiden you have a cousin who is a rather sweet young doe." Celestia mentions

"She's pretty too, I heard she won the miss sweetheart of White Leaf last year."

"Sounds like an unfair advantage with her being a princess and all." You questioned

"Not really, she used another name and story so nobody recognizes her as the princess."

"And she is a sweet little filly too." Carmelita mentions as she enters the room, she looks at Aiden smiles as she touches his hand.

"Hello mom." You say to her as she had a small smile that looked extremely excited.

"That's the first time you called me mom." Carmelita mentions with tears in her eyes.

"It's a little weird to say to a queen, I'm so use to saying to her." You said pointing towards your adoptive mother.

"It's ok, I don't care you called her mom too, I just love my little seed is alive and has accepted both of us, Cookie go ahead join us." Cookie giggle and hug him from behind. "Hey look man you are on a momwich!"

"I'm just glad none of my friends are here, oh and hey Celestia maybe you should hug him."

"Maybe you're right." Celestia mentions with a giggle

"What?" Dago asks before he's hug with some strength. "Mom…you're hugging…a bit to tight!"

"That's what you get." You say with a laugh as you hug back your mothers.

The next day...

Leaving the hospital you and Dago were relived, finally leaving the hospital. Hospitals weren't really that bad and you weren't scared of them, but staying in a hospital for hours could get annoying after awhile. Just as you exited the hospital you were tackled by a couple of fillies as they smile.

"Aiden!" They both shout at the same time.

"Are you ok?" Rarity asks

"Feeling dizzy?" Sweetie Belle asks

"Hungry?"

"Do you want us to kiss your owchie?" Dago laughs the moment you were free. "Aiden, I didn't know you had friends so close to you."

"They're not friends, they're my little sisters." You said smiling as you hugged both

"Rarity, Sweetie, compose yourselves the princess and queen are here." Your mother warned.

"It's ok Cookie, I love children." Carmelita kneels down to see them at a better height. "Hello little ones, what're your names?"

"I'm Rarity, Aiden's favorite little sister!" She says smiling.

"That's not true! I'm his favorite." Sweetie says with slight annoyance.

"Oh you two are adorable!" Carmelita looks at Cookie who nods as she lifts them both into a hug. "And so pretty I bet your big brother loves to hug you all the time."

"Yeah he's the best big brother ever! He's always giving us sweets and always sends us pictures of Canterlot when he sends us a letter." Rarity mentions with a giggle.

"Yeah when I'm not busy." You mumble

"Really? Oh that is so great, tell me girls would you like to know a little secret?" The queen gets closer to them and whispers. "Your brother is actually a prince?"

"Really?! Why didn't you tell us?" Rarity and Sweetie both shout as they look at you.

"I didn't know, I just found out my mom is a queen."

"Does that mean we are princesses" Rarity ask with excitement.

"Uhhh I don't know, but I'm going to say this I'm not a prince just your older brother."

"Older prince brother?" Cookie smiles and tickles Rarity.

"It's entirely his decision sweetie, as of now I'm just happy knowing he's my son."

Canterlot...

The same day you recovered you came back to Canterlot only hours later, unfortunately you couldn't spend time with your friends back in Ponyville. Though you did have to get back to Canterlot, you couldn't spend all day in Ponyville that would be a wasted day.

Though aside from you leaving Ponyville, your biological mother Carmelita had to go back to White Leaf. Half of you would miss her, the other half was still suspicious about her being your mother. But suspicion never helped anyone.

"I'm so glad I got to meet you, such a nice and polite colt. When I look at you, I see your father's features, it's relaxing." She smiles as you smile back and blushed a bit.

"Hehe I'm-uh thanks, I never knew you'd feel that way. Well I guess this is until next time mom." Tears welled up as she hugged you carrying her a bit kissing your cheek.

"I'm so glad I got to meet my sweet little colt." She says snuggling up close to you, you blushed as you see the guards snickering. You wouldn't blame they were always stoic and having you blush and get embarrassed is a lot better then just having them be stoic and silent.

"Goodbye mom." She nods giving you one last kiss before walking away, you sighed and looked down.

"Moms, you love with all your heart, but it's their job to embarrass you." The guard chuckles and nodded.

"Preaching to the choir friend." You say with laugh as you walked away.

You continued walking through castle your mind on one thing, the rock, the rock that never escaped your mind. You knew that it was nothing but something was telling you it was important for some reason your reasoning with Dago and how easily forgave him was something on your mind.

Forgiveness was something that was always important to you, like your mother and how she wanted to see you. You forgave her with ease and Dago for that matter he was a friend and you cared for him.

Your mind was stopped as you heard your name being called.

"Hey Aiden." Dago calls for your attention as he approached you with two other Pegasi with him.

"Oh hey Dago what's up?" You asked smiling a bit.

"I want you to meet my friends." He mentions with a smile, it was weird him smiling was something you wanted to see. He was your best friend someone you could count on.

"Oh hi, um I look a little weird right." You say with a little chuckle. They only look at you for a moment before smiling.

"You look interesting." Soarin starts to poking your shoulder. "You're a he right?"

"Soarin!" Dago take his hand away with an annoyed look. "Sorry, he's a little dumb from time to time, anyway Aiden I want you to meet my friend Soarin." He point at the colt that poked you earlier.

"And my…" Dago smirks as he points to Spitfire. "Girlfriend Spitfire." He jokes to annoy her.

"H-hey I'm not your girlfriend." She says glaring at him.

"Well uh okay, I'm a boy I hope you don't confuse me with a girl." You mention smiling a bit.

"Hey I was just making sure, first time seeing a real human and all, you look really cool too, is it true you control plants?" He asks with excitement, Dago chuckles a bit.

"Sorry, I told them about your gift." He says with a blush.

"Yeah I can control plants and I can heal cuts, broken bones and all sorts of injuries ponies have." You mention.

"Cool, then you can cure Soarin each time he hits a cactus." Spitfire jokes

"Hey that only happened once!" He glares at Spitfire.

"Soarin and my sweetheart." Dago continues to tease Spitfire. "Are aspiring wonderbolts, they are really good actually, would you like to see them in action?"

"Sure, I never seen a wonderbolts show before, they usually only show in Cloudsdale."

"And I'm not your girlfriend!" Spitfire glares at Dago. "Oh Spit, if only you weren't so shy." Dago tell her with calm voice, and they continue to argue while Soarin gets closer to Aiden.

"Ignore those two lovebirds, they're like that ever since they discover what a girlfriend and boyfriend means, Dago is just playing around and liking to see Spitfire blush, but I think secretly. Spitfire does have feelings for him." He whispers into your ear.

"Eh I think it's just a phase and I'm pretty sure they just like teasing each other." You say with a shrug.

"Maybe, but you have to admit it. It would be really funny to watch, by the way if you want to tease Dago, just mention that Spitfire is his girlfriend in front of Princess Celestia and watch."

"Um how about you do that, Spitfire isn't my friend and I rather not die by her hand." You say rubbing the back of your hand.

"Awww cmon, once you get to know her, she is as cute as a teddy bear." Soarin says with a laugh.

"What was that Soarin?" Spitfire asks appearing behind him making, him jump from surprise.

"Spitfire, I…w-we were just talking about how good you are flying, after me of course." He says with an awkward chuckle.

"Weren't we talking about mentioning to Celestia that she was his girlfriend?" You asked with confusion

"Shut up!" Soarin shouts with panic.

"Soarin, you have 5." Spitfire says with anger.

"5 what?" Soarin asks

"4."

"Uh watch closely Aiden." Soarin mentions speeding up into the garden with Spitfire soon follow. Dago laughs as he see the show.

"There's never a boring moment with those two." Dago mentions.

"They're certainly unique friends, I was hoping we'd stay another day in Ponyville so you'd meet my friends. One of my friends thinks we're coltfriend and fillyfriend." You say smiling a bit.

"Are you?" He asks

"I'm not sure actually, I like her but it's weird."

"Weird how?"

"Well we've been friends since Evie was a tiny puppy. And you can see Evie's growing into a pretty big dog, but she still looks a little pup."

"Oh yeah, Salvatore has been getting bigger too. Thank goodness, he's still adorable and docile. Imagine when he eats meat? Sure, he hunts fish but, it's mostly from a shop in Canterlot. He doesn't hunt I'll start to believe he is the closest to a vegan in the world of tigers." Dago chuckle before looking at him. "And what you say the feelings are now fading?"

"Nah I don't I'll ever be like that neither Evie. I'm pretty sure she just follows me."

"If she's not playing with Salvatore. So time has passed, are you saying that the feelings are not there now?"

"No, they're there I just can't decipher them, do I like her like that or am i just a kid?" You questioned

"Well you can always do 'the test'." He says with a laugh.

"Test? What test?" You asked

"The lip test, the one I took to find out if I really liked Spitfire." He says with a smile. "It's easy, you just approach the mare, talk a bit and then give her a kiss, if you don't eww then that means that you like like her."

"Well she kissed me a bunch of times. But I think I can reverse the test on her."

"There you go, and if she stays that way then you know she likes you back." He gives you a little push. "Come on dude, give that girl some sugar and find out."

"Weird having a guy who's usually scared around maids and female guards. Personally I like being around mares and fillies a lot more then stallions and colts."

"Hey! I'm not scared of them, I just get nervous when they get a bit too friendly that's all."

"Riley always says it's adorable when you blush and stutter."

"Hey! I d-d-don't s-s-stutter." He mentions glaring at you.

"You're doing it right now, ah don't worry it takes awhile to talk to mares."

"You're talking like you can do it." He says with a glare.

"Give me a challenge." You asked

"We're 10!"

"Cmon unless you're chicken."

"Ok, ok…ah Hard Shell." You instantly knew about that guard, she was your typical by the book royal guard, she was also one of the cutest guards you've seen.

"Alright I'll talk to her."

"Fine, your funeral, but can it wait until after Soarin and Spitfire's show? The two are still waiting for us."

"Sure, I never seen a flight show before."

"Oh you'll love them and their moves!"

Later...

After hanging out a bit with Dago's friends you were on your quest to prove him wrong about Hard Shell and her attitude. The only pony you know whose nice enough to give you information on a mare you didn't know.

"Bonjour mon ami, how are you this fine day?" Riley asks with a smile.

"I'm doing fine Riley, but I actually I have a question for you."

"For moi? Go on ahead mon ami, anything in particular?" She asks smiling

"Do you have any info on Hard Shell, I made a bet that I could make her like me." You smiled as Riley gave an unsure look.

"Are you sure want talk to Madame? Mon ami, she's quite the serious guard." You shrug but nod.

"Yeah, I want to prove to Dago that I can talk to any mare with ease and not get scared like him." She nods and smiles.

"Well I don't know much, but you can find her at the east tower of the castle. She should be duty." You smile and hug Riley.

"Thanks I gotta go!" You say running off.

"Be careful mon ami!" She shouts waving goodbye.

Arriving to the east tower you spotted Hard Shell her stoic demeanor and stoic face showed her seriousness to her job.

Hard Shell had a Cobalt colored fur with a blonde almost pixie cut mane. She wore the standard royal guard service uniform.

You slowly approached her and smiled.

"Hello miss." You say smiling a bit.

"Please leave the area sir." Shell looks at you from the side before returning to her watch.

"Sir? But I'm a kid, I'm pretty I won't be a sir until I'm 16 years old. Anyway I'm not here to be distraction, ya see I'd like to know more about the guards. I've had an interest in being a medical officer and I need help on what guards do?"

"Book of regulations, discipline for the royal guard. You can find it in the royal library, now I must insist you leave, this is a restricted zone meant only for the royal guards." She informs

"You get little information from books, first hand experience has more knowledge then books can give you. Plus a dedicated guard such as yourself might have knowledge, other mares and stallions are too focused on other things to give a straight forward answer." She start to walk following her instructions.

"If you insist of talking then you must remain close by to a guard, specially in a dangerous place like this one."

"Of course, danger is everywhere and if thought of as small could be really deadly."

"And yet you want to learn how to be a guard despite that?" She asks

"Well having eagle eye can't always protect you, sometimes you need medicine to help, you can't always go charging in without a strategy."

"My strategy is the guard next to me, that is all I need to know." She mentions

"That's vague, but I guess guards are meant to be mysterious. And I think I have to be equally mysterious to be one." You say with confusion. She sighs and look at you.

"Ok I'll bite what do you really want? Why are you here? I haven't heard of you other than you are a guest, so I thought you just spend all day reading guards list and just pick me up randomly." She says with a sigh

"Think what you want miss I only wanna know what guards do, like I said others don't take their jobs seriously. I choose you because of your seriousness and no nonsense thoughts." You informed

"I'm still on duty, can these questions wait until after my shift ends?" She asks

"Sure, I can wait."

"I'm Hard Shell by the way."

"I'm Aiden Hart." You say with a small smile.

An hour or so passed as you waited for Hard Shell's shift to end. As you waited you spotted Hard Shell in her civilian clothes, she looked cute and actually someone you wouldn't expect to be a guard.

"Ok Aiden what do you want to know?" She asks approaching you.

"What I want to know is how exactly does training change your mind from soft to tough along with what exactly inspired you to go into the royal guard, it must've been hard for a female guard to be accepted in an almost all male army." You asked

"Not for me, my brother is a royal guard, as well as my dad, my aunt, my grandma, my great grandfather, and his father before him, getting a letter of recognition to enter wasn't hard to obtain, I just followed the tradition."

"Tradition must be important to you, as it should be most people join for their cause or whatever they think is right. Anyway I'm getting off track, the real reason I want to know about guards is most ponies see them as background simply there to look tough. Me, myself I think they're a force to be reckon with. What's your opinion do you enjoy protecting the citizens even though very few give you praise, is it worth while when you know at least one pony thinks of you as an inspiration?" You asked

"It's neither if you ask me, well it's both and at the same time neither, guard ponies are civilians with an unquestionable love for their country and their ruler. A guard is not a guard for the glory or recognition, a guard is a guard, because he or she knows they are protecting something worth protecting. The princess and her son are worth our protection and thus we protect, if the situation arrive I will gladly give my life if that means their safety, that's why I join the guards, I love the prince and princess with all my heart and I wish to show that love in actions instead of words." She says with a smile.

"Hmmm well said, most ponies would want recognition and glory. In all honesty that's admirable. I know it doesn't mean much coming from me but I just wanted to let you know is all." You mention with a smile

"Thanks for the kind words sir."

"I guess that's everything I wanted to know, most ponies would call me distracting and I wouldn't I try to find reason on to why ponies do what they do. Simply put it i'm just curious about the world around me, hopefully I'll be able to service the princess and the prince in my own little way. Even if it isn't as big as royal guards."

"Everyone has a role to play Aiden even yourself, my philosophy is that there is not such thing as 'small' service. Just small confidence, everyone in Canterlot has a role to serve, from the princess to the janitors, and all their job are equally important, we work because we respect that, sure, there those who don't and think otherwise. But still we mark a difference in our own way so don't say your part is small because the only pony that should never think that is yourself."

"Hmm I think you're right, hehe I guess it's all in my head. Confidence isn't really my strong suit, not that you care but as kid wasn't really popular with colts so I just didn't talk any of them. I relate better with the opposite sex, it makes things much more efficient." You mention with a chuckle. "Sorry I got a little preachy, maybe I should go now."

"Perhaps, you're after all a student, and as such I imagine there are duties you should be fulfilling right now."

"I guess so but, plant based magic us extremely with very few actually fight mechanics, it's usually used for healing is all." You informed

"Don't let that stop you, there was a time when they said a mare couldn't rule a nation."

"Yeah I've heard about that before. And a majority all nations have at least one female ruler to their name. Anyway I must've taken a lot of your time. Thank you for your time Ms.Hard Shell."

"Think nothing of it, it was relaxing speaking with you as well. Perhaps I could open some spaces in my shift in case you want to speak again in the future." She says with a bow.

Later...

After leaving Hard Shell, you entered Dago's room in the castle. Dago's room had all kinds of stuff like toys and many other ideas.

"Sup dude, how did it go?" He asks as he pet Salvatore and Evie.

"Went pretty good to be honest, she even said she'll clear time out of her shifts to talk to me." You mention smiling as you walked towards his bed and sat down.

"Don't say." Dago comments unusually calm. "Tell me did she by any chance give you a little boost of confidence?"

"Huh well we talked she was nice actually once you get past the hard emotional shell, she's kind of cute. In a weird strong sort of way."

"I imagine, well I suppose you've convinced me. You can talk with older mares, which I still find confusing. Why is it much easier to talk with colts your own age?"

"I think it's because I'm more mature i just relate is all, anyway do you know anything about my cousin. She's been on my mind how she acts or if she evens knows about me?" You asked

"Well judging by the fact that Queen Carmelita was just this close to breastfeeding you." He put his thumb and index finger really close to show his point. "I would say, no she didn't know either buuuuuut that would change as soon as the queen talks with her."

"Oooookay I didn't want imagine me being breastfed by her, but now the image is stuck in my head. Thank you Dago." You say with sarcastic voice

"Do you want to imagine yourself being breastfeed by your unicorn mother instead?"

"I was breastfed by her." You say giving him a dead pan look.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop now." Dago say with a chuckle. "And to answer your question I'm sorry, I can't say much, I really didn't talk much with her, and only saw her 2 or 3 times when the queen and her niece visit, if I had to describe her in one world I will have to say…'quiet' or perhaps 'shy'." He says shrugging.

"Quiet and shy? So if she's my cousin then I must have an aunt or an uncle or a close family member!"

"Yeah, but I said shy OR quiet, she isn't afraid to talk but don't expect her to start if you want to talk you need to start. Have you ever watched how some of the noble fillies around always keep their heads down and their hands together? That's usually her pose, only more…formal to put an example, like she is posing for a painting, like the ones you see on the hallway walls, the really old ones."

"Oh those paintings are creepy, especially now that I know someone could be watching on the other side." You say with a soft sigh, Dago chuckles and shakes his head.

"Relax, I only spy on mom when she is in meetings, and I think I'm the only one that know about the secret passages, so you're pretty much safe." He gives Salvatore a ball of yarn to play with. "Hey do you want to explore them some more? I had found routes that reach the center of town, or even near bakeries."

"I don't think so, wouldn't we get lost unless we have some breadcrumbs." You joke.

"Aiden, you don't need a map when you have a mind like mine, I explored those secret passages thousands of times. I know to work my way around and there's nowhere I've been and that I haven't explored, I can easily guide you."

"Fine lets go I guess." You say with a shrug as you tried walking out of the room.

"Uh Maybe later you still want to know about your cousin right? I can show you a picture, if you wish." He says with a smile.

"Sure. What does she looks like?"

He takes a framed picture in his room and shows a picture of him being lick on the cheek by a diamond dog pup. She looked cute.

"Ignore the girl next to me, she's Roxanne, the princess of the diamond dogs, look at the doe on my left, with a faint blush and looking at the other side."

"Huh well I see, the only thing I have in common with her are the emerald green eyes." You say rubbing your chin.

"Well that and the tail." Dago jokes as he pets Evie's head.

"If only that was true." You said with a sigh

"Oh come on Aiden, don't force me to send you back to Hard Shell."

"I'd be talking to her easily she's nice."

"And pretty too, so…well you say you had a lot of girls so who knows maybe that's something of the family…hey wait a minute!" Dago takes the picture frame and looks at the picture. "By the sky…Roxanne is in love with me!"

"Uh what'd you mean in love?"

"Don't you remember? The lip test? That's totally what she is doing right now, and she's started it, she's clearly in love with me!" He shouts

"I think she's just like my friend Vinyl, she does that a lot to me. So does my other friend Octavia, I think she does it as friendly choice."

"So they receive you by licking your cheeks like a thousand times and loudly call out your name?"

"More like a peck on the cheek, but same gist."

"Yeah fillies are confusing don't you think?"

"Pretty much, but they're fun to be around."

"Oh yeah, that I won't tell me that. Well anyway back in track, her name is Deidra, or I suppose technically speaking 'LADY Deidra' the former next in line to inherit the throne, daughter of Noble Oak and Graceful Drop. She's 2 years older than you, and she has a record of exceeding in all sorts of areas, dancing, singing, and yes a extremely powerful Flora magic. I suppose that comes from family too, she is also a Virgo, and I think her favourite color is Violet, she doesn't like spice foods and prefer something sweet instead."

"Wow you know so much about her, that's kinda weird." You say with an odd look.

"Hey, there's not really a lot of information about the deer nation. I got curious so I looked around about them, wouldn't you had done the same?" He asks

"Well I didn't know what deers were when I first got to this school so probably. The irony is that my mother is a deer." You say with a laugh.

"Yeah, a big one, but in the end is all happy endings right? I can even tell you this, and it'll bright your day, Noble Oak, is a human. They say, a semi cure was found and he's still around, just that he stays away from public eyes."

"Who's Noble Oak?"

"Ah…you didn't hear? He's your uncle."

"My uncle? Oh damn this is a lot to handle. I just hope my life stays normal." Evie jumps into your arms and licks your face.

"Hey, what's normal if it's just your common everyday right? I say just go with the flow."

"Right, I guess I just have to go with the flow." You mention with a laugh.
