"She's gone," I sobbed.
"Don't worry Dawn," Dad said calmly, "She'll be back when she's ready."
"B-but she left me-ee!" I wailed, unable to hold back my tears. Dad just wrapped a wing around me and led me to a small house near the castle. Mom just followed closely behind us. Once inside, we all sat on a big sofa in silence until I stopped crying.
"W-where do you th-think she went?" I sniffled.
"I don't know sweetie," Mom said, a tinge os despair in her voice.
"I'll try to find her," Dad declared before flying away.
"O-okay," I replied weakly, "Wait, I th-thought Shay said she h-hurt you."
"You mean the fire?" Mom sighed, looking tired and sad.
"Yeah," I said carefully, "What happened? How did you escape?"
"Well, before I answer, I think we should start from the beginning. You can go first if you want," Mom said softly. With that, I told her everything that happened to me after she left me alone in Canterlot. "That sounds like quite the adventure," She responded after I had finished.
The front door creaked open and Dad walked in with a more reluctant Nightshade following him. After joining us, Mom convinced Nightshade to tell us what she went through. Finally, it was Mom and Dad's turn. Mom just sighed when we turned to look at her expectantly.
"Alright, but before I start you need to know that we left because we didn't have a choice. The disappearance of an alicorn's parents is an important part of an alicorn's life. We never wanted to leave you and we understand why you're upset, but just know that we wanted you to grow up being proper alicorns," She explained, "After we left you, we moved to Saddlerabia to life a peaceful life until it was time for us to find you again. That was, until we were found by Shay…
BEGIN FLASHBACK
The fire was raging everywhere when Shadowlily stirred. Winterbreeze was still unconscious next to her. She winced and rubbed her head with a fore-hoof before she froze when she noticed the fire. She looked around frantically and as the flames drew closer, she dropped to the ground defeated and began to cry. The sirens of the fireponies could be heard in the distance. Shadowlily then perked up as if she had an idea, then began to create a shield. She strained to hold the shield as the flames closed in on them and when the fireponies finally put out the fire a came in to rescue them, she collapsed with exhaustion.
FAST-FORWARD FLASHBACK
Shadowlily woke up in the hospital with Winterbreeze sitting in a chair next to the bed.
"Lily! You're awake!" Winterbreeze cheered, wrapping her in a tight hug, "Are you okay? I heard what you did. What were you thinking? You could've been hurt!"
"I'm fine, and I was keeping us from being burned by the flames," She responded, rolling her eyes.
"I know, but I was worried you had hurt yourself," he pouted, "You used a lot of magic to hold that shield."
I'll be fine. Also, where in Equestria are we?" Shadowlily asked kindly.
"We're in the Canterlot hospital," Winterbreeze said with a calm tone.
"And why are we in Canterlot?" Shadowlily asked, a puzzled look on her face.
"Because Dawn and Shay are here and I thought it was time to return," He stated, "And don't worry, Dawn helped Nightshade let go of her anger. Plus, I already wrote this note for them." He held up a scroll with his fore-hoof and gave it to Shadowlily.
END FLASHBACK
"…And that's when I taped the scroll to your door, knocked, and ran away," Mom finished. Me and Nightshade just stared, "What? You two are looking at me like I grew a second horn."
"It's just that-," I started, but was cut off by Nightshade.
"Most Unicorns can't create shields-," Nightshade continued.
"Much less hold them that long in an inferno," I finished, smugly looking at Nightshade, she just glared at me.
"Well, I just thought about protecting Winter and the shield just came out of nowhere," Mom explained, "And knowing that Winter depended on me to save him gave me the strength I needed to hold it."
"That's… Incredible!" I exclaimed, hugging Mom tightly, "I might have to look into that sometime. In fact I can imagine it now, the magic of Family!" Everypony just laughed at that. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing sweetie, just couldn't help it," Mom replied.
"So, what's next?" Nightshade asked.
"Maybe you all can come with me so I can get to know Equestria's two newest princesses," said a kind voice behind us. I spun around to see a dark blue alicorn with sparkly blue hair, like the night sky.
"Princess Luna! We weren't expecting you!" I said in surprise.
"Dawnfrost, we have a lot to talk about but we can't talk here," She replied before turning around and trotting off, "Come with me." The rest of us followed her to the castle. Eventually, we found ourselves in a small study kneeling on the floor.
"What's wrong?" I asked, afraid I had done something wrong.
"Nothing's wrong, I just wanted to get to know you better and didn't want to be bothered by anypony" Luna responded calmly.
"Oh, well in that case. Hi I'm Dawnfrost and this is my twin Nightshade. Over there is my Mom, Shadowlily, and my dad Winterbreeze," I said cheerfully.
"It's very nice to meet you all," Luna said, "I'm Luna, Princess of the Night."
"Oh, it's our pleasure Princess," Mom replied kindly.
"Please, call me Luna," The dark alicorn responded, "Since your daughters are princesses, that makes you royalty too."
"Huh, I guess that does," Mom said with a look of concentration.
"So Luna, what do you want to know first?" I asked kindly.
"How about we each take turns, starting from the beginning," She answered, "I'll go first. Many centuries ago, my parents, Queen Galaxia and King Cosmos, ruled over Equestria…"
That's it for this chapter! Stay tuned to find out the past of Luna and Celestia.
