It was a month after his sudden change that Sowilo returned to being a boy, but by that time he figured enough of his magic with Twilight that he can returned to his Alicorn form. During that time Twilight's coronation happened and so does the trouble with Sunset Shimmer. The news of Sowilo being able to keep in either forms brought great happiness to their family circle and Twilight's friends and after the fiasco with Sunset Shimmer, they finally have a name for Sowilo's first form; human.

Soon it was his fifth birthday and Sowilo spent much of his time as an Alicorn in that one year but was encouraged by Luna and Celestia to spend time as his other form so that when he needed to be one form instead of the other, he won't be so awkward. Secretly another reason she asked Sowilo to do so was because of the strange dreams with the prophecy-like words when she received him. She has a feeling that Sowilo will need much of what he can do in both forms in the near uncertain future. As for the moment, the preparation was finally done for Celestia to announce the First Alicorn Prince of Canterlot, Sowilo, for though she had wanted to announce his existence along with Twilight's coronation, they were still unsure of whether he could remain an Alicorn or otherwise.

She looked at Sowilo who learned how to buck trees from Applejack, strengthening his hind legs, down at their private garden. This past year was so much trouble with Twilight's ascension to Alicorn royalty and the birth of the Princess of Friendship and the frightening fiasco with Tirek. Celestia remembered that day when Tirek turned Equestria upside down and stealing magic from every pony he came across. And with Discord's betrayal, she could only forgive him under the pretence that despite everything he kept Sowilo's existence a secret from Tirek and that he had kept Sowilo in the realm of Chaos where his home was during the whole fiasco. Discord had then admitted that he only do so because he felt fondness for Sowilo.

Sighing, she turned to Luna who entered her private study room, "Sister, what brings you here?"

Luna shook her mane, "Nothing urgent, simply seeking for your company," As she take her seat, she saw Sowilo and a wistful smile decorated her muzzle, "He is a precious thing, isn't he?"

Celestia nodded, "That he is, Luna," She sighed, "I truly hope everything will go smoothly,"

Three days later, Celestia took Sowilo to the side as she adjusted his royal coat, "Now, I will need you to be proud of who you are and even if you suddenly change there in the middle of the ceremony, I want you to know that no matter what happens you will always have us behind you," She nuzzled his mane, careful of his horn, "I love you Sowilo,"

Sowilo, too nervous to say a word could only nod and waited as Celestia put on her Princess mask to face her little ponies, Luna, Cadence and Twilight strong by her side as she revealed his existence to them, "Citizen of Equestria, as your Princess we are proud to announce to you that we have a new family member within our ranks!"

This opening elicited excited murmur among the ponies gather below the balcony. While she started on how she kept Sowilo existence a secret and that it wasn't because she was ashamed but rather felt that he wasn't prepared for such publicity, Discord appeared beside him.

Sowilo looked at his friend, "You aren't going to throw this apart, are you?"

At his words, the remaining Mane Six who remained behind to escort him when he was called forth, glared at Discord in warning. Even the ever timid and soft spoken Element of Kindness looked fierce at her friend. Discord sighed, "No, you little thing you. I am here to support you, yay!" He gave a small mocking cheer. Not even the cricket made a sound to that and Discord face palmed in annoyance, "Honest, I am not here to hurt your about-to-gain reputation," He sighed and looked at Sowilo with uncharacteristic gentleness in his eyes, "I am also here to make sure that your Alicorn form hold,"

Sowilo grinned, "Thank you, Discord," He hugged the stuffing out of the surprised Draconequus and Discord awkwardly returned the embrace. Only Fluttershy 'dawwwed' at the sight and just as Celestia called Sowilo forth, "And here present to you, Ladies and Gentlecolt, your First Alicorn Prince of Equestria, Prince Sowilo Ansuz!"

A month after his revelation and introduction, Sowilo asked Celestia and Luna if he could join a school like other foals and fillies. Celestia frowned, "But I am sure that you can gain just as much knowledge here in Canterlot Palace with your new tutors,"

Luna studied the foal crestfallen face before nudging at her busy sister, "Celestia sister, I believe that what Sowilo meant was for him to mingle with his peers,"

Celestia picked up her muzzle from the parchment which she has been scribbling a missive's answer and blinked tiredly, "Oh? I'm sorry dear, I'm a bit flooded with missives over here,"

Sowilo smiled, "I can see that," He looked at the mountains of scrolls and letters sitting of Celestia's desk. Celestia sighed, setting her work aside for a while so that she may properly discuss this with her family, "Perhaps an introduction to Canterlot's school is in order,"

Sowilo fidgeted, "I had thought of studying in Ponyville,"

Celestia blinked, "Oh? Why is that?"

He grinned, "Twilight told me how nice the ponies there are and…I wanted to be around ponies that weren't…well…" He sighed, 'This was hard,' he thought. Celestia and Luna shared a look and they both giggled, causing the currently boy form Sowilo to look up. Luna nodded, "I see, you have seen how stuck up Canterlot ponies can be, what with how most of them are related to some nobilities and all. Furthermore, you want Twilight to help you with your magic being that she was the one who originally helped you with your magic,"

Sowilo nodded, "I don't want to offend anypony,"

Celestia shook her head, "Hardly, Sowilo. I too feel that it will do you a lot of good to spend time among the less privileged so that you may learn to appreciate their works and not look down on their status. Being a Prince does not mean you are above them despite your title,"

Luna nodded, "Also, most of your pony trainers are already situated there so should anything happens, they will be able to aid you for they already know of your unique disposition,"

Sowilo grinned and changed into an Alicorn as he leapt in joy, "Yes!"

After much discussion, plans of 'should-anything-happens', after school and weekends study schedules to follow, royal studies to follow up, letters 'must-write', journal keeping, etiquettes to follow, safety drills and several other things following the actual packing itself, Sowilo finally ready for the departure on the end of the week since that was how long the packing and re-packing took. Not to mention the special orders for books that Celestia ordered and the astronomy trinkets that Luna ordered.

Sowilo watched as the guards lifted his baggage onto the train before looking at Celestia and Luna. He nuzzled their under chins, or in Celestia's case her barrel, "I'm going to miss you,"

Celestia cooed at her growing boy, "And I you but worry not, Luna will share our dreamscape nightly,"

Luna nuzzled his mane, "And no words spoke more true than 'tis,"

Sowilo sniffed, "Don't care, I'm going to miss you two bad…"

Celestia chuckled, "So…are you cancelling then?"

He quickly moved away from her barrel, "No! I'm going!"

After the long goodbye, to which the conductor patiently wait and in the end only two minutes late, Sowilo finally bid his royal Mothers goodbye as he went off to study in Ponyville.
