As I said, short backstories. Also to anypony who doesn't know what Queen Galaxia looks like (or who she is), just Google "MLP Who is Queen Galaxia."
Now that you know how my parents met, you need to know why that's important. Well, me and Nightshade were born alicorns, we got our wings from our father and our horns from our mother. Oh, PONYFEATHERS! I forgot to tell you what we look like. Well here goes nothing.
Our Dad is a white pegasus with sapphire blue eyes. His mane and tail are pale blue with a sapphire blue streak through them. His cutie mark is a dark grey cloud with three sky blue snowflakes under it.
Our Mom is a light grey unicorn with ruby red eyes and a ruby red magic aura. Her mane and tail are pitch black with a ruby red streak through them. Her cutie mark is a red heart with a black star in the center.
Nightshade is a smokey grey alicorn with white on her hooves and the tips of the feathers on her wings, she has a black magic aura and ruby red eyes. Her mane and tail are pitch black with an inch of white on the end. Her cutie mark is a white full moon with three red stars around it.
Finally I saved the best for last. Me (by the way, my parents say that I look exactly like Queen Galaxia, except the cutie mark, from the old history books on the royal family). I'm a white alicorn with pale orange on my hooves and the tips of the feathers on my wings, I have an indigo magic aura and sapphire blue eyes, I also have an indigo coloring on the front of my hooves. My mane and tail are pale orange with an inch of indigo on the ends. My cutie mark is a sun with three blue hearts around it.
When I was about five my parents gave me a straw beach hat with an indigo ribbon around it to cover my horn. Night just used her mane. Everyday for the next 5 years was pretty much the same. Get up, go to school, come home, play with Nightshade, go to bed, repeat.
Then one night, I woke up to voices coming from downstairs. I could barely make out what they were saying.
"Are you sure this is a good idea? She'll be heartbroken when she finds out," Mom asked.
"Come on Lily. You know its for the best. I know it must be hard for you but we have to. It's an important step for alicorns, without it they don't build up the magical strength they need to survive," explained Dad.
"Fine. Let's just get this over with," Mom said in a frustrated tone.
Then I heard the front door slam and the sound of many ponies galloping away. I race downstairs knowing what was happening, but by the time I opened the front door I was too late. They were gone. I sank to the floor and began to cry, knowing that now I was truly alone, because my parents and Nightshade left me behind. They left me...
Alone...
That's all for this chapter.
So remember to let me know what you think, and I'll see all you guys in the next chapter!
