Another Crystalling
Shining armour and Cadence decided to adopt that Alicorn baby as their son. They didn't have any clues about his family or from where he was. This was the most optimum decision they could make for him. They were also considering to give him in guardianship of the Princesses as another option but when they saw how happy their daughter is to have him as her younger brother, they decided to go with the first option. They thought that little Alicorn must been gone through some painful events. That was the reason of that little mishap in Flurry's room. Luckily he was put to sleep by Princess Luna before he could accidently harm himself.
Even he couldn't control his magic but to handle him was not much as hard as new-born Flurry Heart because he was calm most of time. After a day of adopting him, both decided to bring him in front of Crystal Empire as the newest member and their son. So it was time for a special Ceremony. Another Crystalling. For their new Alicorn baby.
I came to know that they were adopting me as their son. I was very happy to know that. Well, I was happiest because I just got an elder sister. I always wanted to have a sister who cheer me up when I'm sad, who plays and talk with me when no one's around. That wish was fulfilled. Flurry Heart was my elder sister now. Cadence was now my mother and Shining armour was my father. At least I'll be not alone in this world.
I was in a bed in a large room. Flurry had went to school today. My mother's (Cadence) aunts Celestia and Luna were standing beside me. When my mom came to that room and looked at me.
"How are you my dear Flamy?" She sang
I looked at her in response and smiled. I heard her giggle at this. I was acting like an infant because that's what I was now. Age really have effect on our behaviour. Well, behaving like a baby as being a baby wasn't odd at all. Anyways I heard mom talking with her aunts.
"Cadence did you make all the preparations for the Crystalling." I heard the voice of Princess Celestia. 'Crystalling?' I thought.
"Yes Aunt Celestia, I've made all the preparations. I've sent invitations to Twilight and her friends as well. I hope this Crystalling will be done without any mishap." She chuckled lightly as she said this. 'Mishap? What kind of mishap? And what Crystalling is all about?' I was thinking when I suddenly got a sneeze. That was enough to pull their attention towards me.
"Well, as long as he's calm everything is fine." Said Princess Luna. 'Did I done something wrong by mistake.' I thought because they gave me a surprise look.
"Cadence, I think you should go and address your subjects." Said Celestia
She nodded at this and this and went outside the room. I was still suspicious about the Crystalling and mishap they mentioned before. I heard that they are inviting someone named Twilight and also her friends. So Crystalling was some kind of special ceremony. And it was somewhat related to me. I was eager to know how.
Far from Crystal Empire in a town named Ponyville another Alicorn Princess Twilight Sparkles lives in a tree like castle called Friendship Castle. She had purples coat with even more purple mane with a pinkish strip in it. She had a light purple six pointed star surrounded by five more white smaller stars as her cutie mark. She was known as Princess of Friendship. A while ago she received a snowflake invitation card. It was of course from Crystal Empire. She was surprised to read the invitation.
"What!"
She and her friends were invited to Crystal Empire for another Royal Crystalling. It was obvious that her brother just had another baby. Her another nephew or niece. But how it could be so suddenly. That was pretty much confusing for her. Soon her all friends were there.
They were also very surprised. Except Pinkie, she was happier than she was surprised.
"WHAT! Another baby! IT'S MEAN ANOTHER PARTY! A CRYSTAL PARTY! YEAH…" She started to hop
"Wow, I am really excited to see their new baby." Said Rainbow dash
"But why didn't they said anything before?" Said Twilight
"Maybe they wanted to surprise you." Said Applejack
Twilight smiled in response looking towards the invitation. It's been a very long time since she visited her brother and her childhood friend. Starlight was also very excited to visit her friend Sunburst. They started preparations for the visit. Twilight, Starlight and the rest of the gang reached at station. In a while the Friendship Express was there. All of them sat in and train headed towards the Crystal Empire.
I was in my bed and for some reason I was sucking my own fore hoof. It was pretty much likable for me *Giggle*. Maybe age has more effect on mind than I thought. After a while Flurry Heart was back. As I saw her I extended my hooves towards her for that she could pick me up. She giggled and came towards me.
"Awe, did you missed me, little brother?" 'Little brother' No one can't imagine how much happiness I felt when I heard this. My heart was about to explode with happiness. I giggled loudly as she said this. I wished my whole life to hear this phrase.
She came towards me and sat beside me. She picked me up in her hooves and nuzzled me. I felt like tickling and made some babbles.
After a while I saw six ponies entering in the room. There were two female Unicorns. One of them was white in colour and had a curly violet mane and tale. Other was of light purple colour and a dark purple mane with light greenish stripe in it. Also I saw two female Pegasi. One of had yellow coat and long pink mane. Other had sky blue coat with beautiful rainbow colour mane and tale. I never saw someone or more precisely some pony that colourful. She had a rainbow lightning bolt like mark on her flank. She was flying instead of walking. I also saw two more ponies. They were plain and simple with no wings or horn. One of them was of orange colour with yellow mane. She had a hat on her head. Other had pink coat with even pink and fluffy mane. She seemed so excited because she was hoping instead of walking.
All of them came near to me. A little purple lizard like creature with green scales sat beside where I was laying. I never seen such a creature. He tried maybe to tickle me with his claw but I was a little scared. As he saw this he smiled and said
"Don't be scare buddy. I'm Spike the Dragon." So he was a dragon. Maybe a baby dragon.
"Wow, is he an Alicorn? What's his name?" Said that excited pink pony
"Yes, Aunt Pinkie, he's an Alicorn. I named him Flaming Star." Answered Flurry
Then she made funny faces in front of me maybe trying to make me laugh. And she was succeeded. I can't help myself but to giggle. She was that funny.
After a while I saw my mom, a purple Alicorn, and a two Unicorns I hadn't seen before were talking to each other standing near the door. One of the Unicorn was definitely male and other was female. I couldn't hear what they said but maybe they were talking something about me and Crystalling.
"Hey, little buddy look what I got for you. Baby goggles, I bet you'll look cool in them." She said and put black goggles on my eyes. I smiled and giggled at this.
"You see now you're looking 20% cooler." I couldn't hold my babbles at this
Friendship Express reached in Crystal Empire and all of friends came out of it. Shining armour was there to receive them. As they had seen before they were expecting him really tired and stressed out. But he wasn't looking that much tired. He smiled and greet his sister and her friends.
"Hi sis! Good to see you."
"Good to see you too big brother." She embraced her brother and then said "What's a surprise? Congratulations on having another baby?" She acted a little sarcastic
"Well, thanks Twily! I think we should go to the palace now. Cadence and I want to tell you something."
All of them went to palace a little confused. As Twilight and her friends enters the palace Twilight saw her childhood friend Cadence. Cadence told others that they can go to see the new baby. After they went to a certain room there were only Cadence, Twilight and Shining armour. And after a little ado Cadence told Twilight about that Alicorn baby.
"WHAT! But how could somepony do this?"
"We don't know Twilight but it looks like something not so good had happened with the little one." Then she told Twilight about that little mishap in Flurry's room.
Hearing this tears came to her eyes. She couldn't hold them in so she embrace her friend as some tears escaped her eyes. She told Twilight to not be that sad because now he had a family which will take care of him no matter what. After a while the parents of Twilight were there.
"Twilight, how are you my dear filly." Said Night Light
"I'm ok dad." She embraced her parents
"Now do we have to spend all day here or we'll be allowed to meet the new baby." Said Twilight Velvet
All of them chuckled and then Cadence, Twilight, and her parents headed towards the baby's room. They saw the baby surrounded by Starlight, and others.
"So when Crystalling going to happen?" Asked Twilight
"Well, as soon as Sunburst will be here! Well don't you wanna meet your little nephew?" Said Cadence and both of them went towards the bed.
I saw my Alicorn mother and that purple Alicorn along with those two Unicorns were coming towards my bed. They came near to me.
"Hi Flurry! Look how much you grown!" She said to Flurry Heart giving her a sudden hug
"Hi Aunt Twily! Meet my new brother." Said Flurry Heart in excitement. 'Aunt Twily!' She must be that Twilight my mom was talking about and these girls must be her friends.
"Hi little cutie, I'm your Auntie." She said to me as I was lifted in the air and floats towards her. Now I was getting it. Unicorns and Alicorns can use Telekinesis through their horn. 'Maybe I can use this too.' I thought. I didn't see anything around to try on. That baby dragon. I thought of a funny plan.
I looked towards the dragon and focused on it. It started to glow with red energy. I could feel the tickling in my horn. I lifted the dragon slowly.
"Wow, wow, what's happening?" He said as I accidently flip him upside down.
"Maybe he's trying to use his magic."
"But why me."
It was fun. I slowly made him float faster. Here, there, up and down.
"Twilight please *gulp* help me." He said as his face turned green
"Flaming Star please put the baby dragon down." Said Flurry Heart softly
I did as she said and then clap my hooves in joy.
"Ah… thanks Flurry."
Then that Unicorn mare (Twilight velvet) picked me up.
"Come to your grandma little boy." She said as she picked me up
She must be the mother of my Unicorn father. That's why she was my new grandmother. I giggled and tried to touch her face. She kissed me in response.
I was so happy that day. Being a baby and being surrounded by people who really love and care about you is very pleasant feeling. I never had so much fun before. I have magical powers. That will be interesting. As I was floating I noticed every one of them have marks on their flanks. Maybe these marks represented something. My mom has a mark like a heart made of Crystal.
After a while I heard some voices outside the castles. Like a crowd.
"Maybe citizens have gathered." Said my Alicorn mom
"Yeah, it's time for the Party." Said that excited pink pony.
"I am here your highness." I heard a masculine voice
"SUNBURST!" That light purple Unicorn yelled and trotted towards the door. I saw she was greeting with another Unicorn. He was a male. His coat was orange and his muzzle had a white stripe on it. His name was Sunburst I guess. And that Unicorn Lady was his friend. A really best friend.
"Sunburst! It's time." I heard Princess Celestia saying this
They all looked towards me as that Unicorn stallion came near to me. He lift me up in one of his fore hoof. I looked around. I saw my new parents, my big sis, and my new Aunt Twilight, her friends, and my grandparents were coming along as he was taking me to a certain door. If I remembered right then this was the main door of the castle.
As they took me outside the Castle I saw there was huge crowd. All of them were ponies with shining crystal manes. Most of them were plain, simple ponies without any horn or wings. The whole city was made of Crystals. Wow, what a scenery that was. I just loved that.
Then both husband and wife kissed me on my both cheeks. I felt a little blush at this. After all they were my parents now. They both met their horns above my head and my body started to float in the air. I lifted up a little higher.
"Citizens of Crystal Empire, I present before you the newest member of Crystal Empire." I was very surprised at this. Maybe this was that ceremony called Crystalling.
"Awe, he's so adorable. Just like Princess Flurry."
Some of the citizens admired me and then all of them lean their heads to the Crystal ground which starting to glow brightly. The whole city was shining with that bright light. Then Sunburst took a Crystal from a case that Aunt Twilight was holding. Then all the light was pulled into that Crystal.
Then Sunburst went inside the Castle. After a little while a bright explosion of light happened and everyone around just started to glow and shine like Crystals including me as well. Then my parents and my sister together took hold of me and nuzzled me with love.
I could feel how much they determined to love me as their son. So now I was son of a beautiful pony couple as an Alicorn. Not just I've a mother and a father which I already had on earth but also a caring and playful sister, many loving aunts, and also new grandparents. Life couldn't be any more beautiful. I was very, very far from any worry, any problem or anybody who will try to tease me for nothing. This could be so amazing.
My new life with my new family.
