Okay, the tower had been a lot farther away than either of them thought.

"Dex, can't we take a break?!" Cyrus shouted. 

Dexter was getting sick of fae's whining.

"Y'know what? You can, if you wanna be stuck here! Now get your-"

Cyrus cut him off. "Alright, alright, I get it!"

They both kept walking until they got to the tower. Wow, it was genuinley gorgeous. The first thing they saw was a giant set of double-doors and two guards infront of them.

"Please state your name and age." The guards one the right said.

"I'm Cyrus, 17. We don't live here, we just need to see the Princess."

"Dexter, 19,  and yeah. What fae said."

The guards exchanged quick glances at eachother and opened the doors.

Cyrus walked in first and was amazed. It was fantastic- no, that was an understatement. Fae felt bad for anyone who couldn't see it.

Dexter walked in after fae, but was too focused on wanting to get home to pay attention to the decor.

"This place is beautiful!" Cyrus exclaimed. "We should get our rooms done like this!"

"I'm glad you think so, please wipe your hooves off outside."

Dexter and Cyrus whipped their heads around and saw who they assumed was the Princess.

"Princess! It's an honour to meet you!" They both lowered themselves, looking up at the Princess.

"Oh please, the honour's all mine." She smiled and stomped her hoof.

Just then, a goat with a purple coat that faded to pink fly down. She had the prettiest wings Cyrus had ever seen, along with a large, pink heart necklace.

"What can I do for you, ma'am?"

"These two dearies need some help, could you assi-"

Dexter stopped her from continuing.

"I'm sorry for cutting you off, but we need the Princess' help. Not an assistant's. We need to leave."

The Princess stood in shock. Dexter thought it was because he cut her off, until-

"Sweetheart, why would you ever need to leave? We have all you could need right here! Right, Twilight?" There was a slight shakiness in her voice that wasn't there before.

The girl, Twilight, was just frozen in place though. That was until she spoke a few, simple words.

"You can't leave..."

This caught Dexter and Cyrus incredibly off guard. 

" What do you mean..?" Dexter mumbled.

This only earned a sigh from the Princess.

"Come with me, I can explain everything."

////////////

They walked into what looked like a giant ball room that was turned into an office.

"Sit, please."

Dexter and Cyrus sat down, looking at her with a worried expression.

"You cannot leave. Our population is going down, and it's hard enough to make a portal out of here, anyway."

"A PORTAL?!" Cyrus and Dexter shouted at the same time.

She stomped her hoof once more, Twilight coming in once again.

"Could you get me a cup of tea?"

Twilight nodded, and Princess didn't wait for her to come back to start talking

"We're not in another world if that's what you're thinking, another planet actually. You're from Anomany, we're from Palacelings. We made some portals around in different areas that connect to other places. Misty Meadows, Phantom Forest, Rainbow Caverns, so on. We've also found a way to connect certain portals to your world, but only on certain holidays. Midnight Carnival, Monster Masquerade, Sweetheart's Celebration, and so on. They can only stay up for so long though, and it takes Sugar Stars and energy to make them. Everyone is running low on both. However..."

Dexter perked up before looking over to Cyrus.

"However?"

She took a sip of tea. Dexter hadn't even realised that was brought in.

"If you could do certain tasks for me, it could help me gather the materials for it. A goat-made one. These won't be easy, I hope you know."

Dexter tried to say something but was instantly cut off by Cyrus.

"Yes! We'll do it!"

She smiled at them.

What had Cyrus gotten them into?

~~~

I don't know why I'm writing this, but it's fun. There really isn't much to say right now!

Have a good morning/afternoon/night! Stay safe and healthy<3
