Crystal Empire 3 days after encounter with Dark Obsidian (Cadance’s P.O.V.)

I couldn’t believe it, the foal was due within the week! I haven’t been this happy since my wedding. This has been quite a journey, carrying a new life inside of me for nearly a year. I sat in my throne and rubbed my belly with my left foreleg in a loving manner. “Just a couple more days, and then I’ll be able to hold you in my hooves for the very first time.” I said to my unborn foal. The foal kicked in response to me, probably wanting to see me too.

After I had my tender moment, my husband, Shining Armor came running into the throne room with a slightly worried expression on his face. “Cadance we have a royal visitor.” Shining said whilst panting from running all the way here from the castle courtyard. “I haven’t seen the royal yet, if you’re wondering, but I was told to deliver the message to you.” he said almost reading my mind for a second.

“Well, let’s not keep her waiting, show her in.” I said to Shining. What happened next shattered my mind beyond repair. The royal visitor was an alicorn, but it was a Male. He had a snow white coat, a nicely styled brown mane and tail, and interesting, hazel eyes and a cutie mark of an All seeing eye. I blushed in embarrassment at my mistake. “I’m so sorry if I’ve offended you Prince?” I said apologetically, whilst trying to get him to introduce himself.

“Randablitz, Prince Randablitz, milady.” Randablitz said while taking a respectful bow. “Whom do I have the honor of addressing?” he asked with a pleasant smile. To say that I was speechless would be untrue, but it wasn’t because of how he was acting, no, it was his eyes, they looked similar to Nightmare Moon’s eyes, but his eyes had a warming, welcoming feeling to them.

“I-I’m Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, but you can call me Cadance.” I said after I realized that I was staring at him.

“Pleased to meet you Cadance, I hail from the continent of Taurus, and I wish to open up trade routes with the denizens of Equestria.” Randablitz stated as if he prepared himself for this encounter for some time.

“The pleasure is all mine, Randablitz.” I said as I felt the foal kick pretty hard, it was hard enough that my guest now knew that I was expecting.

“Ah, I see that you’re expecting, and it seems that your little one is ready to come into the world.” Randablitz said with a smile. I was shocked yet again with this stallion! Could he see the foal inside of me or something?!

“How do you do that?” I asked. Randablitz looked at me with confusion. “How do I what?” he asked, but it soon dawned on him that I was asking about his ability to see the foal. “Oh you mean the fact that I know the foal is due soon?” he asked and I nodded. “It’s all part of my role as a prince, I’m not known as Randablitz, the Wise for nothing, but perhaps I should have told you that earlier, well not to worry, it’s in the past, now let’s keep moving forward.” he said, his smile never leaving his muzzle. Just then I felt something, like water flowing, I realized then that my water broke. “Shiny, the foal is coming!” I shouted to him, he summoned his quill and parchment and wrote Twilight a letter to notify her that her niece, or nephew was on their way, and to let her know about a new development, the world’s first male alicorn. With his letter writing done, we left for the medical wing of the castle.

After Obsidian taught me the teeth enhancement spell, I felt really proud of myself for accomplishing something so much more advanced than I could have ever imagined. I thanked Obsidian for the lesson and he left to clear his head.

“I should probably let Celestia know about this spell, maybe it hasn’t been discovered before, maybe not even Starswirl.” I thought as I got out a parchment and quill. All I was missing was Spike, and as if on cue, My #1 assistant arrived in a hurry as if the world was ending.

“Twilight, You are not going to believe what Princess Cadence just sent in this letter.” He could hardly contain his excitement so it must be really important. “Well let’s see what is so spectacular.” I levitated the letter from Spike and read it in my head.

“Dear Twilight,
Cadence has gone into labor, wish us luck, we’re gonna need it. We also got to meet a foreign ruler by the name of Randablitz, he’s a really nice stallion once you get to know him, and get this, he’s an alicorn just like you, Cadence, Celestia, and Luna! Shocking? I know I still can’t believe it either the world’s first male alicorn. He wants to open trade routes with all of Equestria so he came to the Crystal Empire first, and I’m guessing correctly, he’ll be heading your way soon. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Your “B.B.B.F.F.”

My mind has officially exploded after reading this, it felt like the best day ever, not only is my sister-in-law going to have a foal, but a male alicorn had arrived to Equestria and is coming to Ponyville. I looked at Spike with the biggest smile I’ve ever had. “Spike, we need to tell our friends of this big announcement and Ponyville for that matter.”

“Right behind you Twilight.” And we both headed out to find our friends of this life-changing news.

(3rd P.O.V)

At Carousel Boutique, Rarity invited everypony for a pet grooming session where they can converse with each other and spend some quality time with their pets. “So how has life been treating you everypony?” Rarity asked as she lightly brushed her fluffy white cat Opalescence.

“Everything’s been fine at Sweet Apple Acres, it’s been pretty much uneventful.” Applejack said with a slight frown on her muzzle.

“I’ve been keeping the skies clear, and practicing for the Wonderbolts.” Rainbow Dash said with a confident smirk on her muzzle as she applied some shell wax for her tortoise, Tank.

“My Pinkie Sense has been going off like crazy lately, and I have a feeling it’s going to be quite a doozy!” Pinkie said as she used a small scrub brush on her pet alligator Gummy.

“All of my animals have been behaving very nicely, so there’s nothing new for me.” Fluttershy said as she nuzzled her pet bunny Angel.

“Has anypony seen Twilight lately, I’m starting to get concerned that she’s been cooped up in her castle for a little too long.” Rarity said as she looked out of her window. As if on cue, Twilight was carrying Spike on her back and running through town as if the world was coming to an end or something.

(Twilight’s P.O.V)

I’ve never been so excited to tell something like this to my friends! This was something so amazing, I couldn’t keep this information to myself. I never knew that were other alicorns in existence, and more surprising a male!

“So where do you think the others are at?” Spike asked unsure of where we were going. He was right, I haven’t seen my friends since Obsidian’s Welcome To Ponyville Party and I have been cooped up in my castle to learn more about Obsidian.

“You’re right Spike, I don’t know where our friends could be, but I think we should check on Carousel Boutique to see if Rarity is there.” I said as I saw Carousel Boutique in the distance. As we got closer I could see Rarity spaced out in her window. “Look there’s Rarity! We’re off to good start.” I said as I ran straight for Rarity’s.

As Spike and I got closer to Rarity’s, I could hear the sound of multiple, yet familiar voices coming from inside the Boutique. “I’d know those voices anywhere!” I thought to myself as we got to the door. I started knocking on the door, like I was trying to escape from a monster.

“Alright, alright calm down, I’m coming.” Rarity said as she came to answer her door. “Twilight, dear it’s so great to see you out and about, we were starting to worry that you’ve been cooped up in your castle for too long.” Rarity said as she let Spike and me into her home/ workplace.

“Hey girls, have I got a newsflash for you!” I said with a smile. The next thing I know all of my friends stopped what they were doing and paid very close attention to me. “So about two, or three days ago…” I told them exactly what happened over the last couple of days. “That’s not even the best part yet.” I said with a smile that nearly stretched from ear to ear.

“Cadence has gone into labor, so my niece/ nephew is a couple days early, and there’s a Male alicorn prince named Randablitz, and he’s looking to open trade routes with Equestria, and once he’s done in the Crystal Empire, he’ll be coming here, isn’t that great?!” I half shouted to my friends.

To say that my friends jaws didn’t hit the floor upon hearing this news would be completely dishonest, but once they collected themselves they all gave me a group hug, Pinkie and Rarity both squealed joyfully at hearing there was going to be a new royal visitor, and possibly a new friend.

(Randablitz’s P.O.V)

“I can’t believe it, a new royal is about to come into the world, and I am the first one, other than the father, to witness such a wonderful thing about life.” I said as I could hear Cadence’s screams of both pain and frustration. I chuckled to myself as I heard Cadence swearing at Shining Armor, for quote “doing this to me, you evil son of a bitch!”.

“Just hang in there my friends and soon you’ll be blessed with parenthood.” I said as I closed my eyes and began to meditate. I usually meditate to calm myself down during stressful situations, but in this instance I used it to communicate with my most trusted advisor and the leader of my armed forces, General Oasis Spring.

“General, how is everypony?” I asked as I channeled my consciousness outside of my body. “Everypony is just fine sir. How are the negotiations going?” Oasis asked in response to my question. “Well Princess Cadence has gone into labor, and now we have to postpone our plans for a little while.” I said as I waited for her to respond.

“I see. So, do you need me to come to you sire?” she asked. Funny fact about Oasis was that she always wanted to be by my side, it was kind of cute to me, I have to admit.

“No Oasis, I don’t need you to come and protect me, you very well know that I can take care of myself.” I stated matter-of-factly. “I’m sorry sir, I didn’t mean to offend you.” Oasis said apologetically. “Don’t worry Oasis I understand your concern, but I do have a small task for you.” I said with a smirk.

“Anything, my liege.” Oasis said with a bow. “I need you to and the troops to relax, we’ve been traveling for nearly three weeks with no breaks, I highly suggest you and the troops go to the spa, or something.” I said with a smile. I truly cared for all of the ponies that lived under my rule, that’s why I implemented generalized healthcare, education, and a very fair tax rate for both the nobles and commoners alike.

“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.” Oasis said as she snapped to attention. “You’re dismissed General.” I said as I returned my consciousness back to my body. “It feels good to be in charge.” I said as I smiled as I heard the sound of a newborn foal’s cries resounding throughout the halls of the Crystal Palace.

“Welcome to the world little one.” I whispered to myself, greeting Cadence and Shining Armor’s foal in my own way.
