Heir to the solar throne
My little star
"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna told me something and I want an answer" Twilight said, Celestia was worried, she never saw Twilight like this before even during her late night study's.
"Go ahead Twilight, I'll give you an answer" Celestia said, unaware of her sisters middling
"Princess Luna said...that I was your daughter? It isn't true right? I mean you're my teacher and nothing else" Said Twilight; she was hoping for once she was wrong.
"Luna is not lying...its true" Celestia said, she was going to make sure to talk to Luna after all of this.
"No...Princess that's not true...I have parents. Twilight velvet and Nightlight...they would have told me" Twilight said still in disbelief
"They know about the truth" Celestia continued
"What are you talking about? Know what? That I'm your daughter?! That's impossible?!" Twilight said as she started to panic slightly
"What do you remember of the age of five?" Celestia ask, Twilight glance at her, Luna had ask the same thing.
"Nothing" Replied Twilight
"Twilight, I can explain what happened for a thousand years but knowing you, you want proof, so I'll show you" Celestia lit her horn, she gently place her horn against Twilight's.
"What are you doing, Princess?" Twilight asks, Celestia didn't answer, she activated some spell when suddenly; Twilight was overwhelmed by memories. Memories of Celestia and her, memories of better times and bad; Twilight called Celestia mommy, Twilight was indeed Celestia's daughter. Twilight at first thought they were fake, but no, the memories we're very much real and she knew it.
"We were happy before" Celestia said while she removed her horn from twilight's.
"Wh...?" Twilight could barely form a questions, she had just witnessed a life as Celestia's daughter...and she like it.
"Chrysalis found out about you, she wanted you in order to take my throne...the nobles back then had more power than they do now" Celestia explained, Celestia had made sure that the nobles wouldn't do whatever they wanted with the royal princess.
"What did you do?" Twilight ask
"I made the nobles and Chrysalis believes that you had died, where in reality I erased your memories of me and who you were. I place you under a sleep, long enough for the nobles to have died an ponies forgot about you" Celestia said, Twilight eyes widen as a question came to mind.
"How long? Princess how long was I asleep?" Twilight ask, as her voice crack
"Almost a thousand years,
But you awoke seventeen years before Luna's return" she said, Twilight couldn't believe her ears, was she a thousand years old...?
"I don't understand! All my life was a lie?" Twilight ask, Celestia shook her head; she wanted to take Twilight in her hooves but felt it wasn't the right moment.
"It wasn't a lie, it was the life I was never able to give you" Celestia said, Twilight just
"But this entire time...I was some pony else" she said, Celestia didn't care if it was the right time or not, her daughter needed to be comforted. Celestia took Twilight in her hooves, she wrap her wings around the smaller alicorn and held her. "Princess...?" Mumbled Twilight, Celestia didn't answer and just stroke Twilight's mane.
"This was our last hug as mother and daughter" whispered Celestia as she tighten her grip around her, "Twilight, you are still the same pony you were yesterday, your past is different but your still the same"
"Princess...you said 'that the sun will always shine for me'...is that true?" Twilight ask, Celestia hadn't thought that Twilight heard it; she was effected by the spell by then.
"It was, Twilight the day I lost you...was also the darkest day in Equestria. The sun had no shine, no warmth, no life; the sun was sad just like I was" said Celestia as she smiled at her, Twilight smiled back.
"Was it on purpose that I became your student?" Twilight ask
"Yes and no, I hadn't seen you for five years after you awoke" Celestia explained, Twilight couldn't imagine how Celestia felt, to wait almost a thousand years and then another five. "I saw your magic incident and I knew it was you, your bust of magic was alicorn magic escaping. No unicorn teacher would I've been able to teach your, so I took the opportunity to make you my student since I was the only who could teach you"
"I need time Princess..." twilight said, as she broke away from Celestia "in order to think and process everything"
"I understand my little...Twilight" smiled Celestia; she was hoping Twilight hadn't heard her childhood nickname. Twilight just left Celestia's chambers; she went to lean against the corner of a hallway to think for a bit. Until she saw Celestia walking out and headed towards Luna's, Twilight decided to follow her, Twilight place her ear against the closed door and listened to the two sisters.
"Sister! How could you tell Twilight?!" Celestia demanded, Luna glance at the door and smiled, "What's so funny, Luna?"
"I did it because, I knew you would spend another century alone and unhappy" Luna said
"But I am happy! I have you!" Celestia said, Luna shook her head at her
"You're happy, yes, but you would have been even more with Twilight" Luna said, Luna just stared at her sister; Luna could tell she hadn't told everything. "Tia, you didn't tell her everything did you?", Twilight ear twitch, why hadn't Celestia told her everything about her past?
"It involves you, sister" Celestia knew Luna had the right to know from her, she didn't want Luna to learn from some pony else or somewhere.
"What is it?" She ask, Luna started to become worried of this new
"You remember Kind Heart?" Celestia ask, Luna nodded her head, how could she not remember him, he was so kind for a royal guard. "He's Twilight's father", Twilight's mind was going through a million things.
"Well at least he's noble" Luna said, she was surprise but happy that it was Kind Heart and not some pony else. "Did he marry you?"
"No...I don't even tell him about Twilight" Celestia explained, she knew she was getting closer to those three words.
"What happened, sister?" Luna asks, Luna was suspecting something but she was hoping it wouldn't be true.
"Luna...you killed him" Celestia said, Celestia could see Luna's reaction, completely guilt, "when you were under Nightmare moon". Luna felt like garbage, she had betrayed her sister and killed, the father of her unborn foal...how was she suppose to live with that guilt. "Luna! Understand that I don't blame you! It's not your fault! I wanted to tell you, I didn't want you to know from some pony else"
Celestia wanted to reassure her sister but it was too late, the damage has been done. Luna felt horrible already for turning into Nightmare Moon, but now knowing what she did, who she killed...
"Twilight's on the other side of the door" Luna mumbled, Celestia look back at the door and then her sister; Luna had teleported away while Celestia wasn't looking.
"Twilight comes here" Celestia said softly, the door opened and Twilight entered the room, "it seems we're not quite finish talking"
