Heir to the solar throne
Cruel Hearts
Celestia returned from raising the sun, she was a bit tired from last night; Twilight had a cold and kept her up most of the night. Celestia yawned when she was surprise to see a noble from her court; he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Tired princess?" ask the noble, Celestia yawned once more while she glared at him, she never like this noble from her court.
"I am Upper" Celestia said to the unicorn, Celestia hated Upper very much; he was always trying to find a way to bring her down. "Since when is it a crime for me to be tired?" she ask
"You've never been tired before princess!" said Upper with a suspicious tone, Celestia just glared at him "And I would like to know why, you forbidden a side of the castle along with a protection spell?", Celestia just wanted to kick Upper in the flank, he couldn't stop interfering in her personnel business.
"I have my reasons, Upper, last time I check this is my castle" she said, Upper just smirk as he trotted away.
"Feather brain" mumbled Celestia. Celestia went to the other side of the castle; she entered the special barrier which few ponies were able to pass through.
"Hey mommy!" Celestia look down, she didn't expect to see Twilight near the barrier
"Twilight" nuzzled Celestia; Twilight chuckled and jumps around her mother while she walks "What are you doing here?"
"I couldn't find you" said Twilight
"How do you feel?" ask Celestia, Celestia stop Twilight's jumping with her magic and check her forehead.
"Better!" she said, Celestia removed her hoof from Twilight's forehead
"You're still a bit warm" said Celestia while she fix Twilight's mane "You should rest some more", Twilight shook her head, she quickly ran off before her mother could stop her. Celestia just yawned slightly before she followed her towards the dining hall. After a healthy breakfast, Twilight went with her nurse/teacher, Twilight always hated this moment.
"Mommy why do you have to leave?" ask Twilight with a pouty face, and duck lip, she was hoping to convince her mother to stay.
"I'm sorry honey, but I have to do princess work" said Celestia, as she gave Twilight a nuzzle
"But why can't I leave the castle?" ask Twilight, Celestia never knew how to explain this, Twilight was too young to understand the true meaning behind the barrier.
"Twilight who are you?" ask Celestia, Twilight didn't understand what her mother meant
"Um….Twilight" she said, Celestia nod her head, she seem she was waiting for something else "Sparkle?"
"You are princess Twilight Sparkle, daughter of princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria who raises the sun and moon" said Celestia, Twilight still had no idea what she meant, Twilight already knew all of that.
"I still don't understand why I can't come with you" Twilight said, Celestia smiled as she lit her horn, Celestia's beautiful golden crown floated down from her own head and place it onto Twilight. The crown was obviously too big for the small filly, one of the tips of the crown rested on her small horn while the rest of the crown dangled from the rest of her head.
"You're my daughter, heir to the solar throne and some ponies don't like that" she said
"I still don't understand, mommy?" Twilight said, Twilight watch as her mother took her crown back and places it back on her head.
"One day you will" Celestia said, as she nuzzled her "But for now you have to stay here, alright?"
"Alright…" mumbled Twilight as she sigh, Celestia hug Twilight once more before, she left her with her tutor.
"Miss. Rose?" Twilight look up at her wide glasses tutor, she pushed her glasses up with her magic.
"Yes, young one?" ask Miss. Rose with her light pink coat, she pushed her white mane to the side.
"Have you ever been outside of the castle?" ask Twilight
"I have young princess, it's very beautiful! There are many ponies in Canterlot going through their daily lives" Miss. Rose said at her young student
"I wish I could go out and see" said Twilight as she lowered her ears
"One day, young princess" Miss. Rose said with a smile on her face
"Hum…Miss. Rose I have to use the filly room" Twilight said, Miss. Rose nod her head, Twilight quickly ran off towards the bathroom. But Twilight had no intentions on going to the bathroom, she wanted to go outside and see the world. Twilight easily sneaks through her royal guards, and she was able to pass through the barrier since the barrier only work with Celestia's bloodline. "Am I really going to do this?" mumbled Twilight as she stood in front of the main doors.
"Hello there" Twilight turned around and saw a unicorn stallion with fancy clothing; his white coat was only seen through his face along with his black mane.
"Hello" she said, as she smiled at her
"Hm….you have wings" said the unicorn stallion while he examined her closer
"My mommy say I'm an alicorn" smiled Twilight unaware of the danger she was putting herself in, the unicorn just smiled.
"Let my present myself, I'm Upper and I'm part of the solar court" said Upper with a smirk on his face
"My mommy is part of the solar court!" smiled Twilight
"What's her name?" Upper ask
"Celestia" said Twilight with her joyful tone of her's, Upper just smiled, he then started to chuckle. "Why are you laughing?" Twilight ask
"Just the pony I was looking for!" shouted Upper; a green flame suddenly surrounded his body, his unicorn body suddenly turned into a strange insect creature. A black coated alicorn type pony, his blue eyes staring at the young filly, strange insect wings on the side of his body. Twilight immediately back away from this strange creature, she had never seen this creature ever before in her life.
"Who are you?" ask Twilight, 'Upper' just walk towards Twilight
"We're going on a trip" said 'Upper', he lit his horn and lifted Twilight off the ground; Upper was about to leave through the main doors, when suddenly a bright yellow ray of magic struck him against the wall. 'Upper' drop Twilight onto the ground, Twilight was then surrounded by the yellow magic and pulled to safety.
"Mommy?" Twilight was never so happy to see her mother before
"I always thought you were an annoying pest Upper, I never knew I was right in the end" shouted Celestia as she stood in front of Twilight, Upper snarled at Celestia "Touch my daughter again and I'll squish you like a bug! Literally!"
"Mommy what is he?" ask Twilight
"A changeling!" Celestia said while she lit her horn. The noise alerted the solar court which was nearby; Celestia had been in court when she sensed something was wrong. The nobles surrounded Celestia, they all saw Twilight and how Celestia was protecting her.
"We're never going to stop!" shouted 'Upper' while he opened his insect wings, "We will attack Equestria none stop until we have Celestia's filly!". The nobles eyes widen, did they just hear that changeling right?, "We will kill countless of your kind in order to get to her!" he shouted before he flew off.
"Celesita! Explain yourself!" shouted one of the nobles, Celestia just turned around, she knew she was caught; Celestia just sigh, she look at Twilight.
"Well the changeling made it pretty clear" Celestia said, Celestia lowered her ears, she just took Twilight in her hooves.
"Impossible!" shouted another noble from the court, "How? Who's the father of that bastard child?"
"Don't you dare call my daughter like that!" shouted Celestia with her royal Canterlot voice
"You have an illegitimate foal! She's not heir to your throne" shouted the first noble
"And not to mention you've just place Equestria in danger!" shouted a second noble, Twilight had no idea what was going on but she felt it was her fault.
"Princess Celestia! You will give that illegitimate foal to the changelings, we will not allow you to risk Equestria's safety for your unholy offspring!" shouted the first noble, Celestia felt her heart break once more, she was forced to choose between the one thing that brought her happiness or Equestria.
"You've already made a mistake with Nightmare Moon, you will not do the same with the changelings" said the second noble, Twilight look at her mother, she waited for her mother's response.
"You want me to pick between Equestria and my own foal?" ask Celestia, the nobles just nod their heads in unison. Celestia stared at Twilight with sad eyes, Twilight returned her mother's gaze with worried eyes; Celestia wants to keep Equestria safe…..but giving her own flesh and blood to the changelings? The only source of happiness she has left since Luna's banishment.
"Make a choice, Princess or we will!" shouted the first
