(Shoutout to my Friends Taika, Nojida, and Pipiqueen for giving me the gift of a new dream to strive for, and a purpose for some of my creations. anda guys are awesome!)
Chapter One: Maker of Stars
Do anda believe in miracles? Have anda ever felt a longing for something you've never known? Do anda believe in creations, ideals, dreams becoming reality? Have anda ever thought that there was something out there, far beyond your world, that interested you, but no matter how hard anda tried, anda 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, atau Canterlot, atau even the Crystal Empire. My utama 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 tajuk with pride. However, as I grew older, I had to cope with all the expectations and guidelines that came with that tajuk I had prized so much.
One thing anda 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 berkata being a ruler is about lebih 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 lebih 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 lebih and lebih 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 anda would take this role lebih 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 anda thought of this! Chapter 2 is coming soon :) )
