(Shoutout to my 老友记 Taika, Nojida, and Pipiqueen for giving me the gift of a new dream to strive for, and a purpose for some of my creations. 你 guys are awesome!)
Chapter One: Maker of Stars
Do 你 believe in miracles? Have 你 ever felt a longing for something you've never known? Do 你 believe in creations, ideals, dreams becoming reality? Have 你 ever thought that there was something out there, far beyond your world, that interested you, but no matter how hard 你 tried, 你 could never quite figure it out? Welcome to my life in Equestria.
My name is Silversheen, and I'm famous. Well, not exactly famous, but I'm certainly well-known in my empire. No, I don't live in Ponyville, 或者 Canterlot, 或者 even the Crystal Empire. My 首页 is-was, I mean-a place called Pridus in an empire known as Direbond, beyond even the reign of Celestia. Pridus was where the princesses of Direbond lived. And that's exactly what I was. A princess.
Now, that may sound like every young filly's dream, and at first, it was. I wore the 标题 with pride. However, as I grew older, I had to cope with all the expectations and guidelines that came with that 标题 I had prized so much.
One thing 你 should know, I was never what you'd call a "role model." I always felt awkward around younger fillies, because I felt that I was supposed to be perfect, as an example to them.
But the fact is, I'm not perfect. Never have been, never will be.
I understood that about myself. Now, I just had to make my parents understand as well.
My mother, Golden Shine, was the current princess of Direbond, and I was to follow in her hoofsteps, as she constantly reminded me. My father, Platinum Bolt, was less strict, but still firm. He 说 being a ruler is about 更多 than royal blood; it's about being a leader, and maintaining order, both of which I had never been able to do. I felt so useless at everything.
Except one thing.
I had the power to create stars.
Though I never told my parents, because I was sure that it would only land me with 更多 unbearable expectations, I discovered that I could make replications of the "sparkles in the sky," as I thought of them then.
One night, I began to dream. I dreamed of blurry shapes, and voices calling my name from all directions. I woke from these dreams, which would occur occasionally, confused and distraught, never any closer to understanding them. I became 更多 and 更多 distracted as days went by. It all seemed to become a haze. My mother was not pleased.
Golden Shine: Silversheen! That's the third time you've zoned out today!
(Silversheen snaps to attention)
Silversheen: Sorry, Mom.
Golden: Honestly, Silversheen...Being a princess requires all your attention. A princess doesn't daydream!
Silversheen: I'm really sorry.
Golden: (sigh) It's alright. I just wish that 你 would take this role 更多 seriously.
Looking back, I don't blame my mother for her frustration, and at times, harsh words. She was trying so hard to set me on a path I didn't belong.
However, I continued to keep my dreams and my powers a secret...
(Please let me know what 你 thought of this! Chapter 2 is coming soon :) )
