Prologue
Princess Celestia slept peacefully in her bed, well, that was until she was awoken by a squirming below her bed sheets. Immediately alert, horn glowing gold, she tossed her bed covers back. However, all she could see was a spiralled cloak on her bed, lifting it up, she saw a white unicorn with a dusk radiating mane. The young filly was sleeping, peacefully squirming whilst light snores escaped her nostrils.
Smiling in relief, Princess Celestia got up to alert her guards on the baby stowaway, looking down one last time at the sleeping filly; her eyes were drawn to the babies back. As the filly had shifted places, her wings were on full view for all to see.
Celestia was dumbfounded. This was impossible. It couldn't be could it? It could. All those years ago, with the male alicorn she had loved, who had died on unnatural causes, this was his child. Their child. Drawing in a sharp breath, her sister Luna awoke too.
Seeing her older sister in seeming distress, she put a comforting hoof around her neck.
"What troubles you, dear sister?" Luna rich voice questioned.
"Luna, it seems you are an aunt," replied Celestias regal voice.
"What?! Don't tell me his child has finally come."
"She has and it seems she resembles me, but there is one curious thing about my new born daughter."
"What? Relieve my curiousity, and tell me, dear sister."
"Her cutie mark has already appeared, and it is that of the prophecy and on the precise date too."
"Wow, who would have thought it would have been your child?"
Nodding in agreement, Princess Celestia wondered how she would present her new royal daughter to the people.
Adding to that, when would the guardians appear?
