The truth (Part 1)

Blaze and Dust followed close behind Twilight and Rainbow Dash. They didn't know what was going on, but they had no worries as they were telling each other jokes and doing small stunts on the way. Obviously it was torture for Rainbow Dash to just watch them doing tricks, so eventually she joined in as well.
When they came to the crystal castle Lightning Dust was dumbstruck.

"Wow....I have seen the castle from a distance, but seeing it up close its just...Wow!" she said as they entered the castle.

After a few minutes they entered a room with seven thrones, two of them were occupied by Applejack and Starlight, and a giant round table.

"Sit down please." Twilight said as she sat down on one of the thrones.

Blaze and Dust sat down by the table and waited for Twilight to begin.

"Okay so I've been keeping an eye on you since you came to Ponyville and after you arrived unnatural things has happened." Twilight said looking directly at Blaze.

"Let me guess. Apple tree blooming in the middle of winter, giant ring of fire in the sky and a tree by the cemetery now blooming flowers?" Blaze said. This left everybody's jaw dropped.

"How did you know?" Spike asked taken aback.

"Because I caused it. The Apple tree was because I was starving, the ring of fire is my version of a sonic rainboom and the cemetery tree was in honour of my sister." Blaze explained. Again everbody's jaw dropped.

"H-how....." Twilight began, but her words failed.

"I was born with an unstable firey magic. My sister was the same, but her magic was a little more stable than mine. The magic can do many things normal pegasi can't." Blaze explained.

Everbody was silent for a minute before Applejack spoke up.

"Twilight actually had a little fire episode some years ago. When she was still a unicorn, she tried to understand how Pinkie Pie's pinkie sense worked, but when she couldn't find out what 'the dozy' was she got so angry that she literally burst into flames." she explained.

This made Twilight blush in embarrassment and let out a nervous chuckle. The story and the reaction Twilight gave made Starlight laugh like crazy, but Blaze reacted with an expression that was both shocked and curious at the same time. She stood up and walked up to Twilight.

"Come here for a minute please." Blaze asked nicely.

Twilight wasn't sure, but eventually she stepped off the throne and looked at Blaze.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Trust me." Blaze answered as she lifted up her hoof and placed it on Twilight's forehead. "Dear ancestors don't let my suspicion be true." she said as she began channeling her magic to search Twilight's subconsciousness.

After a few minutes Blaze removed her hoof and Twilight looked up to see her standing with a shocked and saddened expression.

"Blaze? What's wrong?" Twilight asked.

"I hoped this would never happen, but it has.....I'm sorry." Blaze said.

"'bout what?" everyone asked.

"Your magic.....i-it has been supressed. Locked away. Why would they do this?" Blaze said as steam began to come out of her eyes and her mane fell straight with dimmed colours.

"What are ya talkin' 'bout sugarcube?" Applejack asked.

Blaze began sniffing and she bit her lip to stop herself from crying.

"T-this." she said a lifted a hoof pointed at Twilight.

Suddenly a shock wave came from Blaze's hoof when it passed Twilight she grabbed her temple in pain.

"Agh! What did you dooooOOOOOWWWWW!!!" Twilight said as her headache got worse.

"I removed the suppression on your magic, but due to the amount of time it has been suppressed its going to hurt like you broke all four of your hooves at once. I'm sorry." Blaze explained.

After a few minutes of screaming in pain Twilight's fur began to turn white and her screams started to go down in volume. Suddenly her mane bursted into flames and her eyes turned into a red colour. She soon calmed down and looked at herself with eyes at the size of dinner plates.

"Wha-what did you do?!" Twilight asked angrily.

"I removed the magic suppressing spell that had been cast on you, but this spell is different. Its much stronger than what a unicorn could ever do." Blaze said in deep thought.

"What do you mean?" Starlight asked.

"That this the work of an Alicorn." Blaze said.

This made everybody in the room let out a huge gasp.

"We're gonna have to bring these news to Princess Celestia!" Twilight exclaimed. "Spike write down these news and send it to Celestia immediately!"

Spike quickly got a scroll wrote on it for a minute before rolling it up and blowing fire on it.
As they settled down Blaze took a look at Twilight.

"You know. You a look little like my daughter." she said. Legends says the gasps could be heard in the crystal empire.

"What!? You have a daughter?!" Twilight asked after getting her voice back. "Where is she?!"

"I actually have two daughters, but they are both grown up. They moved for themselves years ago." Blaze explained.

"What are their names?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Daybreaker Firestarter and Luna Nightbringer."
