"I will accept this princess. Im ready when you are." Her words came as a whisper.
Celestia's entire body began to glow as she raised her head, her horn pressing gently to Twilights. A gentle breeze flew through the room encircling the two as Twilight now began to glow from the transfer of power. Starting slowly at her horn then completely encasing her body in it. Everyone backed away as the room filled with light. The light seemed to penetrate everything and everyone. The light began to slowly fade, the vision of each being began to come into view as they all now stared at Twilight who was still glowing, The princess began to slowly disentigrate into the air in shimering particals.
"My children. I love you all. You now know the truth from the past and can now pass it on to future generations. You all have been very dear to me and always will be. Please, all of you live happy and full lives. Do not forget what it is to have friendship, and always watch out for one another. Never forget this. I love... you... all..." These were her last words as the remainder of her body flowed into the air, slowly disappearing without a trace.
Quiet crying could be heard by all as all of Equestria could now feel the absence of Celestia. But it was not in vain, all the teary eyes of the room fell onto Twilight who slowly came into view from the luminus glow that had encased her. She stood before everypony no longer a Unicorn, but an alicorn the same height as Celestia once was. Twilights eyes searched the room looking at everyone, She shook her head looking down at everypony. "Oh my... Did everyone shrink? Were did the princess go?" Twilight said as she looked around.
"Twilight, my sister... has joined the afterlife. We are sorry." Luna said as tears flowed from her eyes.
Twilight was caught off gaurd by this, but memories of what had just transpired began to fill her vision. She could remember the thoughts of Celestia as her magic was being transfered into herself. All of her previous memories and experiences. She now knew why her perspective had changed as well. Her body was now an alicorns body. She smiled to everyone in the room, it was Celestias smile. That warm everlasting smile that could bring even the most terrible of monsters to a standstill. It was the one thing that stayed behind in Twilight that was once Celestia.
"Everyone. Please take a note." She began as everypony including Gabriel himself picked up some parchment and quill.
"Today was a very sad day as we grieve the passing of our beloved Princess Celestia. We look back thanking her for all the kind and generous deeds she had done for each and everypony across all of Equestria. She was a source of warm wand well being for all ponys. Now, although she has past, her legacy will continue to live on in her faithful student Twilight sparkle. Her sister Luna will reign as the new pricess of Equestria as Twilight will be her second. We all hope and pray that Celestia has found peace, and will continue to watch over each and everypony as long as time exists."
Twlight finished as did everyone writing. The parchments were gathered quickly and sent out to have copies made and distributed throughout the kingdom.
"My friends, it looks as if I may have to stay here now." Twilight spoke, grief in her voice as the thought of leaving her friends behind in Ponyville hit her.
"Twilight, you are now my younger sister, but i am now the ruler of Equestria. Be it anything happen to me, you will need to take the throne. But for now, if you wish, you may stay in Ponyville with your friends. Gabriels new home has been built and im sure he wouldnt mind having you as company." Luna gave a smile behind tear soaked cheeks.
"I think that would be a splendid idea." Gabriel said standing up, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Then it is settled." Luna said giving a smile. "But please remember Twilight, Your royal duties will come first before anything else. You can continue practicing magic for as long as you exist, but you will also need to prepare quickly for future endevors in the castle."
Those last few words from Luna brought unease to everyone, as if Luna knew something may happen in the future but was afraid to tell. Whatever it is though, will have seen when it arrives...
