For Harmony and Love! – A Princess Cadance Quest
You are Princess Mi Amore Cadenza.
The Moonlight shines down through the window reflecting off the crystals to bathe the dark room in a silver glow.
And tonight you are in your room alone.
"Auntie Luna, you told me not to cry"
For Shinning is busy and your dear friend Velvet…
"But it's so hard;"
Your gaze returns to the letter…
"Ev'ry day that passes by"
The letter letting you know that her condition has worsened.
"Tears more at my heart"
Your tears flow down your face glittering with sliver light as they fall
"Velvet Covers, I know you meant your best"
You think of the warmth she gave to you
"When you stood your ground;"
The warmth of love that radiated from her like a burning fire. The warmth of her sweet embrace.
"Without your heartfelt sacrifice"
Yet you can't help but remember how cold she was.
"Your family might no longer stand"
Ashes of a once mighty fire
You turn your face from the letter and trot over to the painting.
The painting you have of her beautiful face.
And as you see the image of her so like your memories something within you lurches.
"But it still hurts, waking up without you here"
She is so worried that it hurts.
"Even spells can't quell the fear;"
That the one she loves might be taken from her like so many others have.
"That I might not get to see your face"
That the image on the painting or her memories might be the only way to see her loves face.
"Or fall asleep held in your embrace, ever again"
That she might not feel the warm hooves of her beloved holding her close. Two heartbeats beating united side by side.
"Or hear you listen to me"
To have her by your side, somepony you love that will listen and give advice without judging you for your weaknesses.
"About my hopes, my fears, my dreams;"
A friend that gives you strength when you find yourself with none of your own.
"But although it's been so long my hope still runs strong"
A love more steady then the ground beneath your hooves.
"So I'll keep going on…"
Because how can you ever truly fall if she is there to catch you.
…
For an instant your mind turns to the duties you have.
The crushing weight of your responsibilities as a Princess.
"My Wings will carry the weight"
That which keeps you from your love.
"No matter how much they ache;"
But no matter how your heart aches you place your trust in Luna.
"And I will never stop waiting for word"
In the flickering candle of hope that burns within you.
"For signs of your return"
Because you can't let it go. Can't let
her go.
Because if there's any hope even just a glimmer you'll be holding on.
Because you believe in the two of you together.
You believe in her promise
"And if, the darkness would come"
For if your fears of something taking her away were to be.
"And claim the hope that spurs me on;"
For if she was to leave you.
"How am I to spend all of my days, without you."
What would you do?
"The one who made my life…
Without your love?
"A life worth fighting for."
Without Velvet Covers?
The tears continue to fall down your cheeks.
