Sowilo stood in front of the classroom of Ponyville Schoolhouse, designed like a barn and housing young fillies and foals comfortably for their studies. Cheerilee, the school's teacher, stood behind her desk as the young Alicorn Prince and the newest addition to her class introduced himself, "Good morning, my name is Sowilo Ansuz,"
A pink filly with a crown on her head called out, "Shouldn't there be a prince in front?"
A silver filly with glasses echoed, "Yeah, shouldn't there be a prince in front?"
Sowilo looked at his hooves, unsure what to say because he didn't want to set himself apart by leaving out his title but the class doesn't seem to react well either. Should he have added his title? Sowilo became confused and just as he was about to panic, Cheerilee scolded the two spoiled fillies, "Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, do not tease him! This is his first time in a class!"
The class 'oohed' at this is awe and other than the two bullies, decided to give the shy newcomer a chance to experience a good schooldays. An orange Pegasus filly raised her hoof, "Why didn't you go to that special school for Unicorns in Canterlot?"
A sweet white Unicorn raised her hoof as well, "Yeah, I heard only Unicorns goes there. Rarity said that Princess Twilight goes there too!"
A buttercup Earth Pony nodded, "Yeah, yeah! It's called…um…"
Cheerilee smiled at her silly student, "It is called School for Gifted Unicorns, Apple Bloom,"
Apple Bloom grinned, "Yeah, that!"
Sowilo smiled shyly and answered honestly, "Because I want to know the common ponies, the ones that put food on our tables and clothes on our back. That way, I will be able to help the Princesses and the rest of Equestria without catering to the needs of only the rich,"
Cheerilee gasped, "Why Your Majesty, how passionate of you!" She bowed at a blushing Sowilo before turning to the rest of the class, "Students, we have a wonderful Prince that will watch over us properly so we must do our best to serve him and the Princesses!"
As the class clapped, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon sneered at his words, thinking him an idiot. And ever since his first class, Sowilo seldom have trouble mingling although he remained personal, loves his privacy and studious. This however only gain him more respect from the teachers but his amiable nature allowed the students to be comfortable around him. The only troubles came in the form of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, as snobbish as Prince Blueblood whom Sowilo only met once during his initial public appearance and introduction to society.
The only other problem was Scootaloo's jealousy of his close friendship with Rainbow Dash whom she admired. But it was a problem easily solved and they have moved on since then. Sowilo, when revealed that he has yet to receive the much coveted Cutie Mark, quickly inducted into the Cutie Mark Crusaders by Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
He was surprised that Discord became an honorary member of the Crusade but then again considering that the Draconequus of Chaos has never been a proper pony, it only made sense that he does not need a Cutie Mark. However, this raised the question; will Sowilo ever receive his Cutie Mark or will he be a Blank Flank forever due to his non-pony state?
On his sixth birthday, Twilight was summoned to the world where Sunset Shimmer dwelled via a dusty journal. She worked fast and soon enough, a machine allowing her to travel between worlds without meeting the conditions and the influence of the celestial movement stood in the Castle of Harmony. After she left, Sowilo spend the day practicing his magic in human form. This was because even though he can use magic as Alicorn due to his horn being his central power output, as a human he has no such thing. So practicing his magic as a human was hard but not impossible.
He sighed as once again all he managed was make Owlicious's feather shift instead of float. The aforementioned owl hooted at him as encouragement. The owl had taken to become his assistant after meeting him, leaving attending to Twilight solely Spike's duty. This helped Sowilo a lot, especially in homework and when he needed a quill ASAP. So instead of going back to his frustrating magic practice, he decided to practice on what Twilight introduced to him as fingers.
He has not written using fingers before as he only started learning how to write when he first arrived in Ponyville. Celestia and Luna only manage to teach him how to read and count and he taught himself how to draw. But drawing crude blocky image was nothing like writing proper words. Lucky for Sowilo, he has a lot of time to practice for the winter holidays ahead.
On the fourth day after her leaving, Twilight returned to Equestria with a grin of elation. She quickly sought for Sowilo, "Sowilo! Sowilo, I got it!"
Sowilo accepted her almost bone crushing hugs, "Get what? And welcome back, Twilight,"
Twilight nuzzled and mussed his hair, "But first, we need to see Princess Celestia,"
Without packing properly and foregoing the train completely, Twilight flew to Canterlot thought despite her excitement she watched out for Sowilo for whom this will be his first long flight from one destination to another. But he was determined to make the trip home without resting, testing his limit and willing to break through. By the time they reached Canterlot, he was sweating buckets.
They panted lightly as they landed before Celestia's office on her balcony. Luckily Celestia was together with Luna and Twilight knocked on the balcony doors, "Princess Celestia! Princess Celestia! I got the translation!"
Sowilo finally noticed the letter that Twilight has been holding in her hoof, stuck there with magic. Celestia, taken by surprise from the unannounced visit, opened the locked balcony doors, "Twilight, welcome!"
Twilight hopped from hoof to hoof as she handed the translated letter which came with Sowilo's cradle, "Sunset Shimmer translated it just as you asked. She really wanted to reform and she's better now," She added news of her new friend's wellbeing. Celestia, despite her happiness of hearing that Sunset Shimmer has decided to truly turn a new leaf, were more distracted by her long sought out answer.
Sowilo nudged at her, "What is it?"
Luna hugged him, careful of her full weight, "It is the letter that came with you in that basket. Until now, none of us has any knowledge of it; neither the words written nor the letter's forms. It was unlike anything anypony has ever seen before,"
Celestia read the letter and gasped, "Luna!"
Twilight's excitement dulled, "Princess?"
Luna rushed to Celestia's side, which looked so sad that her magic imbued mane stopped its magical flowing. Sowilo morphed into a human boy, "Mother?"
Celestia sighed, "That dream I had a thousand years ago, that one which is neither a dream nor a nightmare,"
Luna gasped, "That…human mare?"
Celestia nodded, "Sowilo's mother…or rather, Harry Potter's mother,"
