A navy blue alicorn colt stood in the corridors of his castle. After a while, he started moving towards another location. The room had a faint pink glow, almost like the sunset. He used his magic to open it.
"Hello, Magello." A white alicorn mare greeted the stallion. Sitting around her were their five children.
Magello bent down to the foal's level. "They're so cute." He said. "What shall we name them?
The mare pointed to the first foal, another white horse with a pink, plasma-like mane. "I've named this one Celestia. The blue one is named Luna." The other foal had a dark blue coat, and lighter, shorter blue eyes.
"Celestia and Luna… like the sun and the moon." Magello said.
"They do look like it." The mother, Siria, replied. "The purple one here is named Dusk." Dusk had a purple coat, and a shiny, heliotrope mane that glimmered in the light of the room.
Magello spoke. "The lilac one should be called Selina." Selina had a pale lilac mane, with an even paler lilac coat. She shined like the stars.
"A lovely name, indeed!" Siria said as she bent down to nuzzle her child.
The final foal was quite different from the other four. She had a black coat, and a straggly turquoise mane. Her most prominent feature was her translucent wings.
"Wow, this one looks like a spitting image of Queen Chrysalis." Magello commented, laying down next to it.
"I found that strange to… So I decided to name her Chrysalis, too!" Siria said with a smile.
"Why are we naming her after the enemy?" Magello asked, not so pleased with the name choice.
"Oh, come on. Besides, she looks like a Chrysalis anyway." Siria defended.
"Okay, okay, I will give her that… Hopefully the people of Equestria won't confuse her with the Queen." Magello said.
"Oh, I highly doubt that, silly." Siria playfully nudged Magello in one of his forelegs.
"Ah, Celestia, Luna, Dusk, Selina, Chrysalis." Magello began. "May you ever be safe and guide Equestria from harm."
"I'm going to go put them down to bed, I'm tired, too." Siria gently used her magic to place them in five cribs at the side of the room, tucking their little bodies underneath the fuzzy blankets. "Goodnight, little ones."
The two new parents left the room, knowing that the foals wouldn't cause a ruckus overnight. But the quintuplets were going to have a tragic lifetime, certainly not what Siria and Magello imagined...
