> The Three Kings > by Oak the Changeling King > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1.Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Land of Equestria a land that was usually peaceful had now gained a new kingdom that floated above the Everfree Forest that was named the Everfree Kingdom which was ruled by three kings Oakford Dazzle the Changeling King, Thorn King of the Dragons and Crimson Edge the Crystal King they were wise and benevolent rulers. "Daddy, daddy, daddy!!" screamed three little Fillies as they jumped into their father's arms "Easy you three you're getting bigger every day it will be harder for me to pick you up" King Oak said with a big smile on his face. "That's a lie daddy, your big and strong enough to lift castles" said the bubbliest of the three who was named Sonata. "Yeah you could tame a Ursa Major when you were just a kid Dad" was what Adagio the smartest of the three said, "Not to mention you're the God of Nature" was the words of the snarky one Aria "Now now girls I may be capable of those but one day you're gonna big as well and maybe be as strong as me and have to make grown up decisions, find somebody to love and have families of your own" Oak said to them with a smile and a serious tone in his voice. "He's right you know" said a voice and when all four of them looked over to see who it was it was none other than Thorn the triplets uncle. "Uncle Thorn!" they said in unison as they went to go to give him a group Hug. Thorns appearance was a little different than other as he's half unicorn, half dragon. "Hows my little nieces doing, you're all getting bigger everytime I see you three" Thorn said with a gentle smile on his face. "They're about to be sent off to bed" Oak said "AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW" the triplets replied back "Now,now the reason being we're going to see Granny and Grandpa and Great Granny Chrysalis" Oak said back causing the Triplets to run straight to their beds and went to sleep. Oak and Thorn just chuckled at the sight as they left the room to see Crimson Edge outside waiting for them. "It's going to be a blast when our kids all go to school together" he said with a smirk on his face. "Remember our lives before we became Kings" Oak began to smile and laugh as they walked down a corridor to their personal bar to get a drink "How could I forget those are our precious memories". End of the Prologue > The Beginning > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Several years back In Canterlot everything was currently at peace not a single bit of conflict in the past decade, however most ponies were completely jaw dropped at the sight of what appeared to be a Changeling walking through the streets and not even in a disguise, why was this creature not hiding itself from others well maybe that would be answered as it approached the Royal castle. "Mom there appears to be Changeling at the Gates" said a little light grey alicorn with crimson red hair who was looking out a window with curiosity. Princess Celestia who was talking to some servants about an upcoming event immediately turned around and went straight to the window that her son was at with curiosity in her eyes. "Crimson my dear there hasn't been a single sight of a Changeling in over yea......" She was completely dumbfounded as there it was a Changeling standing right at the gates to the castle holding what appeared to be a letter in it's hand "Hello! I have a letter here for the Princesses of Equestria, it's a letter from Poseidon Dazzle my father" he responded with a warm and gentle smile as he could see Celestia from a window even from where he was. Princess Celestia immediately ordered the guards to open the gates while she flew down with her son to have a word with this Changeling. "Who are you little Changeling and what did you mean about Poseidon having a letter for me." She asked with gentle but serious look on her face while her son stared at him wondering why he looked a little more scale-y for a Changeling. The Changeling smiled gently and then bowed down before both of them "I am Prince Oakford Dazzle, Son of Ex-Captain of the Royal Guard Poseidon Dazzle and Exiled Princess of the Changeling's Rose Chrysalis. And this letter was to be delivered to the Princesses of Equestria to discuss a situation that my father couldn't talk about himself since he and my mother recently just passed away " he finished with a little bit of tears in his eyes. Both the Princess and her son were in complete shock that a Changeling was willing to bow beneath them and could shed tears. Celestia and her son now feeling complete pity for this creature. Celestia was about to speak before a young griffin flew towards the three but just as he got there he collapsed from complete exhaustion. "Son you and Oakford help this poor soul into the castle and for now Oak and this griffin can stay till we find out what we can about Poseidon's letter" her nodded in response as he helped Oak pick up the Griffin into the Castle. The Prince looked towards the young Changeling and smiled as he said "I'm Prince Crimson Edge nice to meet you Oakford." "You can just call me Oak my parents always did, Hey you wanna be friends" he responded back with a smile as well Prince Crimson Edge completely surprised at this began to shed a tear "Sure I've never had a friend before" "Well now you do, now lets get this fellow into your house" both smiled as they managed to get the Griffin into the Castle.
