An Alicorn's Story
In the magical land of Equestria, there lived a little alicorn. Her mane and tail were a brilliantly purple and blue hue. It looked like she was practicing magic. She was trying to lift an apple off the ground, her horn began to glow as it sparked with magic. The apple started to lift off the ground before it fell again. The spark faded as the alicorn's magic fell. "Oh, come on?!" the alicorn cried as she pounded one of her hooves onto the ground.
"Amera. It's dinner time." a voice called as the pony, walked into the room. The pony was a unicorn mare. She was a light pink, with a light blue mane and tail.
The alicorn's name was Amera, she got up and walked past her mother with her head hanging.
"Is something the matter?" The mare asked as she stopped her daughter.
"I can't do magic!" Amera yelled as she stomped her hoof on the ground. "All the other unicorns can lift an apple, everypony but me."
"Don't worry, it'll come to you eventually." the mare said as she led her daughter to the kitchen.
"When's dad coming home?" Amera asked as she sat at the table.
"He'll be home soon," the mare said.
Hoofsteps could be heard in the distance. It sounded like whoever was walking was mad. A light blue pegasus opened the door.
"Dad." Amera said as she hugged her father's leg.
"Get off me!" the stallion shouted as he kicked his daughter in the stomach.
Amera cried out in pain as she hit the wall.
"Amera!" the mare shouted as she galloped towards the filly.
"Sunrise!" the stallion shouted as he raised his hoof and smacked the mare across the face.
"Cloud, please stop," Sunrise said as she put her daughter on her back.
Cloud only stared down at his wife, and with that Sunrise ran towards the palace. She ran into the throne room and looked at the princess. "Princess, I ran away from my husband, please take care of my daughter," Sunrise begged as she used her magic to hand her daughter to the princess.
Princess Celestia looked at the child and nodded. "She will be taken care of. Now may I ask, why did you run from your husband?"
"He was abusive," Sunrise said as she bowed.
"I will see that he is taken care of." Princess Celestia said as she looked down at the filly.
"Thank you so much, Princess," Sunrise said before trotting out.
Amera woke up in a strange room. 'Where am I?' she thought to herself as she stood up and looked around.
"Oh thank goodness your awake," Princess Celestia said as she walked into the room.
"Princess Celestia?" Amera asked as she bowed.
"Please no need to be formal," Princess Celestia said as she looked at the filly.
"Princess Celestia, why am I here?" Amera asked as she looked up at the princess.
"Your mother asked me to take care of you, wait are you an alicorn?" Princess Celestia asked as she used her magic to open up the filly's wings. "You are."
"I'm an alicorn that can't do magic." Amera said as she looked away in shame.
"I can teach you. That is if you want me to?" Princess Celestia said as she started walking out of the room.
"Yes please, I'd love that." Amera said behind Princess Celestia as she caught up
"Well, how would you feel if you were sent to my student?" Princess Celestia asked as she looked down at the filly.
"I'd love that." Amera said before continuing, "but I can't lift an apple."
"That's okay, every filly starts like that," Celestia said as she signed a scroll. "You leave in a couple of minutes to go to Ponyville."
"May I ask you a question." Amera said as she watched the princess use magic so easily.
"Please go ahead."
"Who is your student?" Amera asked as she looked down.
"Twilight Sparkle."
"The princess of friendship?"
"Yes, she was once a unicorn."
"Okay, should I get my stuff ready?"
"No, I sent a guard to your home to retrieve your things," Celestia said as she called for a carriage. "The carriage is coming," Celestia said as she showed the filly to the door.
"Thank you, Princess." Amera said as she looked down at Ponyville. "Is that Ponyville?"
"Yes."
The carriage landed in front of a castle made entirely of crystal. It shined in the light of the sun, and it was beautiful. Amera knocked on the door and waited for somepony to answer.
"Hello?" Twilight asked as she looked around.
"Hello, princess Twilight." Amera said as she looked up at the alicorn.
"Oh, hello there, how did you get here?" Twilight asked as she noticed the carriage. "Did you come from Canterlot?"
"Yes, Princess Celestia sent me here." Amera said.
"Oh so your Amera," Twilight said as she let the filly inside. "So you want to learn magic?"
"Yes," Amera said as she looked down, "I can't even lift an apple."
"I was just like you, wait are you an alicorn?" Twilight asked as she looked at the filly.
"Yes," Amera said as she unfolded her wings, "I was born like this."
"That's incredible," Twilight said as she showed the filly to the library. "Here is where you'll study magic if I'm busy you can come here and practice magic."
"Will I stay here?" Amera asked as she looked up at the purple mare.
"Yes, of course," Twilight said as she saw her best friends run into the library.
"Twilight." Applejack said as she trotted you to her friend.
"Hey Applejack."
"Who's this?" Fluttershy asked as she looked at the filly.
"I'm Amera." Amera said as she looked up to the kind pegasus.
"Oh my, she's an alicorn." Rarity said with shock.
"She is," Twilight said as she walked to the filly. "Princess Celestia sent her here to learn magic."
"She's so cute!" Pinkie yelled as she jumped up and down with joy.
"Princess Celestia sent me here to live with you." Amera said as she looked at Twilight sparkle.
"Why?"
"My dad was abusive." Amera said as she looked at her wound on her stomach.
"Oh, you poor thing," Fluttershy said as she scooped the little filly into her hooves. "I'll get that wound fixed up."
Amera looked at her wound and covered it up. "No it's fine," she said as she flew out Fluttershy's hooves.
"Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked as she watched the filly.
"Yes." Amera said as she landed.
"Amera Spike will show you to your room," Twilight said as Spike ran into the library.
"Follow me," Spike said as he took the filly to her room.
Twilight was pacing in her throne room. "Why would Princess Celestia send a filly to me?' Twilight asked herself.
"Maybe she knew that you would take care of her," Fluttershy said as she sat on her throne.
"Yeah, I agree with Fluttershy." Pinkie said as she hopped into her throne.
"Me too," Applejack said as she sat on her throne.
"Oh, maybe we should have a welcome to Ponyville party." Pinkie said as she smiled.
"It's too early for that Pinkie." Rarity said as she sat on her throne.
"Rarity is right." Rainbow Dash said as she landed on her throne.
"Let the poor thing adjust to Ponyville." Applejack said as she put her hoof on the table.
"Okay." Pinkie said as her mane deflated a little bit.
"Don't worry darling, once she gets used to Ponyville then you can throw her that party." Rarity said as she put her hoof on the pink pony's shoulder.
Pinkie perked up hearing this. Her mane going back to it's usually bouncing form. "Okay,"
Amera started to unpack her things when she realized that she needed magic to put her books on the bookshelf. Then she realized that she had wings, so she flew up and put all her books on the shelf. "There," she said to herself as she landed.
