Oh boy got a bit of a long one here but some help would be nice.
Not so much writing the backstory as I’ve posted a good bit about that, but I would like a second opinion on a certain part of the backstory that's supposed to foreshadow coming events but I think it may be either too subtle, or might spell it out too much for people who pick up things easily on visual storytelling.
The scene starts out with the two characters playing with sticks as if they were weapons a sword and a scepter. Then one of characters sets on top of a hill proclaiming that one day he will be a king himself.Then his best friend plays along, so she gets on her knees and puts her stick in the ground and holds the top of it like the hilt and swears an oath to protect him and see his dream come to pass. But then he starts ranting on and going a bit to far saying that he would love to have total control and that there would be total peace. She stands up with a eyeroll and disinterested look on her face and asked him to come down to so she can tell him something. When he does,she with a grin on her face,lightly hits him on the head with her stick knocking off a paper crown he is wearing saying “No no no.” He falls down and has a playful angry look on and says “Well I can't believe it you just said you would protect me, but here you stand striking me instead!’ She holds out her arm to help him up “I said I would help you be a king, not a God my friend I really will have to stay along side you to remind there are times that ponies can still tell you no.” He takes her hand and gets up and says “Maybe your right.” he holds on to her a bit longer and begins to blush and says “You'll be with me through it all, right?” she blushes as well “Of course, why do you ask?” He stutters “We-well I was thinking, that maybe once I have everything I’ll need somebody to share it with so ma-maybe it could be you.” “You could be more than a sword to me you could be my qu-queen too.” She giggles and I picture her saying one of two things “You’ll have to keep dreaming on that one for now!” or “Only if you're willing to chase that dream down!” and then runs off calling him to go after her. Then we see there two sticks laying in the ground in a cross shape with the crown next to it symbolizing that eventually they do rule together but also that he will get too stuck in his ways and that they will someday clash.
I would like to know if should work with that as is or if there is anything I should leave out or expand more on in that scene.
