When I woke up, I was back in my crib again with mother looking down at me fondly. I didn’t know how long I slept but considering the sun was higher in the sky, it was clear that I was asleep for a few hours.
“Hello again, my little foal” Mother said, nuzzling me and picking me up out of the crib. After she fed me, a bird cry rang out and I turned to see a beautiful red and orange bird fly towards us. Mother raised one of her legs and the bird landed gracefully on it.
“Hello there Philomena, my pet” Mother said, before turning to me “Dearest Mythic, this is Philomena, my precious pet phoenix. Philomena, the is my foal, Mythic Light”
My eyes went wide when I heard that Philomena was a phoenix, the colour scheme definitely matched that of one however I was still in awe of the bird. Then I thought again about how I was living in a world run by ponies and that both Unicorns and Pegasi were not only present in this world; but also commonplace. Putting all that into account I had lost the right to be surprised at mythological creatures yesterday.
Philomena came down from Mother’s leg and began looking me up and down, it was clear to me that Philomena was the main attention of mother’s eye before I came along. I knew personally from experience how new children caused people to lose interest in their pets. Just ask my rabbit when I was the only one who fed it when my sister was born. I was expecting Philomena to hate me, but to my surprise she flew on to my shoulder and rubbed against my face.
“Aww” Mother cooed “I think she likes you Mythic. Anyway, we have a big day ahead of us. There are some special guests coming to see you.”
Upon hearing her words, I became worried. I was hoping that it wouldn’t be more nobility. While the nobility I had met were nice ponies, memories of Blueblood and my magic spasm still lingered in my mind.
“Anyway, it’s time to meet our guests” Mother said “Don’t worry my little foal, if any magic spasm should happen, I will be there to stop it.”
After that, she got up from the bed and lifted me onto her back. As she walked through the castle, it gave me more time to admire the architecture and furnishings of the castle. As I had noted previously, both the city of Canterlot and the castle were based on fantasy style architecture, but there was a difference between seeing it on television or video games and actually living in it. After saying hello to Sunburst and Sunbeam, mother made her way to what I recognised as the throne room.
Stood there were six ponies, one of which I recognised as Auntie Twilight. The other five were completely new to me, one thing they all shared was they were all female. There was a white unicorn with a curled purple mane and wearing blue eye make-up, she reminded me a lot of Duchess Fleur de Lis. There were two pegasi, one of them was yellow with a pink mane who seemed a bit nervous about something. The other one was Cyan with a rainbow mane and she oozed an air of confidence. The other two had no wings or horns, so like before with the servants I wasn’t sure what to call them. One of them was Pink with a pink poofy mane that seemed like she was struggling internally to stay still. The other one was orange with a blonde mane, which was covered by her Stetson style hat. I couldn’t help but giggle as I saw it.
Out of all the brands in all of the old world that would transcend dimensions, Cowboy hats would not be one I would have picked.
Now that I was thinking about it, another thought occured.
So if Cowboy hats exist in this world, does this mean there are actual cowboys… cow-ponies in this world? Why does this make so much sense and yet so little sense at the same time?
As we approached them, all six of them bowed to us.
“I thank you all of coming.” Mother said, before turning to me “Mythic Light, these six ponies are some of the most important ponies in Equestrian history. They have saved myself and Equestria on numerous occasions. They each represent one of the six components of friendship and have formed a council in which to spread friendship’s power across Equestria. They are Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.” She said they’re names while pointing to them.
After looking at the six again and looking back at the stained glass window that I saw before, I realized that these were the other ponies that Auntie Twilight mentioned before.
“Hey there, Prince Mythic” cooed Pinkie Pie “You are so super cute!”
She started tickling me and try as I might, I couldn’t stop giggling as she did. After she stopped, i couldn’t help but think:
A pink pony named Pinkie Pie… A bit on the nose isn’t it.
“Well how’d you do, Prince Mythic, a pleasure making your acquaintance” Applejack said, tipping her hat at me and I couldn’t help but smile.
She even has a southern accent I thought That’s awesome
“I have to say...” said Rarity, in a rather posh accent, “Speaking solely from how you look, Prince Mythic, you are just simply divine.”
No wonder she reminds me of Fleur de Lis I thought.
“Heya, Prince Mythic.” said Rainbow Dash “Just you wait, when you can get old enough, those wings will let you fly all over the place.”
I looked at her then at wings, which fluttered a little bit. Then a huge smile burst on my face, because of top of learning magic, I was going to be able to fly.
“Hello there, Prince Mythic” said Fluttershy “It’s great to finally meet you. You are very cute.”
She seemed more nervous than the others about meeting me. I still smiled back at her which did get a smile back from her.
“Now, my precious Mythic” Mother said, getting my attention “In my eyes, these six ponies represent the very best of Equestria and they have proved that through that shows of valor and numerous feats of courage in times of the greatest darkness. However, my favourite feat from them is how they have shown comradery between the three pony races. They have shown how Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth ponies can work together in harmony....”
So AppleJack and Pinkie are classified as earth ponies? I thought To be fair, I can’t think of a better name
“I’ll probably tell you this again when you’re older but I feel it’s good to let you know now.” Mother continued “We are what is known as Alicorns and as such, we have the powers of all 3 pony races. The strength and fortitude of earth ponies, the speed and agility of pegasi and the control of magic prowess of unicorns. However, while we have all this power, we have a much bigger responsibility, not only to ourselves but to all other races. Part of that responsibility is that we must learn about each pony race and how they use their gifts in conjunction with each other to form the country we know today.”
Mother pointed a hoof at Twilight “Twilight here was my most faithful student in magic. Just before you were born, she asked me if she could mentor you the same way I mentored her. In all honesty, there is no pony else that I would have teach you.”
Twilight blushed under Celestia’s words, it was clear to me that mother’s approval meant a lot to her. I was excited to learn magic under Auntie Twilight… but before any of that I would have to learn how to walk again.
“In time, I hope you will learn from all ponies about Equestria and it’s workings. Sometime’s it will be difficult and frustrating and you will have to be patient. I know patience is never an easy skill but know that every day, no matter how small the lesson you learn is, you will get one step closer to becoming a true prince of Equestria.”
I felt my eyes watering under her words. She had so much faith in me and she was willing for me to study under such incredible ponies… it almost made me feel I wasn’t worthy for this treatment. Then another thought came:
Maybe I’m not worthy now, but everyday I will give it everything I have to one day be worthy of the amount of love these ponies are showing me. This is my second chance at life… I will not let it slip through my fingers...hooves… whatever, the point is that I have this chance to proof my worth and damn it, I’m gonna take it.
Then Raven and Sunbeam entered the throne room.
“Sorry to disturb, your highness” Raven said “But day court is about to start”
Celestia sighed “I thought I had more time, oh well, duty calls.” she turned to me “Please forgive me my foal but my attention is needed in court right now, but I will be with you soon. Sunbeam, could you take Mythic up to the nursery, I believe he would find day court incredibly boring.”
“Of course, your highness” Sunbeam said, levitating me off mother’s back and onto her’s “Shall we go play, sweetest prince?”
She started walking away from the throne room, mother waving to me as we left.
yay!!!!
Good luck
*WolfGrin* Good. this Old Wolf knows when he reads good story so you remember to listen to Me.
Yay new chapters! Given the like/dislike ratio I think this story is doing quite well.

Twilight will be teaching Mythic? TAKE COVER LESSON ZERO TWILIGHT RETURNS!
great to have you back and writing new chapters. Can't wait for the next one.
yay
There's two things I would like to question, one, why is Celestia telling him all this stuff right now, no one knows he has an adult mind and thinks he is just an actual foal yet she acts like he understands her and would remember all of this?
Second, this isn't that important but I'm still just wondering, the guy was reborn and is now a foal and in any other regression fic I have read when somepony was regressed or reborn they had to wear diapers because they no longer had control even if they did keep there minds, yet something of that sort was never mentioned. Like I said it's not important but I was just curious.
Regarding Philomena, there's this theory i really like....

6165203 My thoughts exactly \o/
6165256 Wouldn't that make Celestia a pheonix? I know it's a theory but I've only ever heard of pheonixes being able to do that stuff. Not even Princess Celestia could do that I think.

This.
Constructive Criticism time.
You have a problem of having the questions the protagonist has internally being answered immediately by others who can't understand him.
This is my problem with this chapter. (And to a lesser extent previous chapters)
This chapter:
Celestia: Here is my 2 day old son. Here are the main 6. Their names are Twilight, Flutershy, etc, etc. Now you know their names, let us leave right away.
What it should of been.
Celestia: Hello my friends. I'm glad you could come meet my son so soon.
Main 6: Isn't he adorable!
Rainbow: I'll help teach him to fly when he gets older!
Main 6: He has his father's ________.
How's your health doing?
etc.
etc.
etc.
You know. Stuff people talk with new mothers about.
Glad to see you're back in the game!
And no worries. Pressuring authors to write produces less-than-desired results. And you have a life to attend to. Take as much time as you need, and do not worry about us. The chapter comes when it comes. Writing is a form of art, and art takes time and patience.
Take your time, and we shall await your newest chapters! Besides, it's not like this is the ONLY thing we can read, amiright?
those that mean that more chapter will soon be arriving?
Sir you are a god
Remember that the word 'they're' is a contraction of 'they are'.
They're pink. (They are pink.)
They're bouncy. (They are bouncy.)
They're names. (They are names.)
I think you meant 'their'.
It's.. Its.. ITS ALIVE
As Always a pleasure seeing you update this fic.
Sweet chapter mate! If you want, I can help you pre-read the chapters.
As for anypony talking to him like he understands. Mothers do that more. Of course, later on in life those things will be repeated. So I like this way of dialogue.
Bwainz
6179466 Because he is a Prince of being a 'Pain in the Flank'

I just finished this... And thus far I'm really enjoying the flavor of the story. Please do keep it up I'd love to find out more about the new prince!
update pls its been a few months :/
NOW THIS STORY IS AWESOME
Practically everything is to my liking, sentence structure PERFECT, Paragraphs PERFECT to my liking though dialog needs a bit more work BUT its perfect in this chapter. I just find it boring if there is a lack of dialog cause interactions between characters makes the story much more enjoyable. Just don't get to carried away with the description of that main character's current environment.
SO when do you think you will be able to release the next chapter? Like come on man this story is awesome. Just can we skip a bit into the future cause if you are going to describe or tell the readers his entire foalhood it will get a) boring and b) Tedious.
What I am interested is when a) when he can talk b) walking on his own and c) seeing his special talent at work.
If that is not too much to ask that is
BTW please tell me you are still writing this story
Dear Readers,
Words cannot describe how sorry I am about keeping you all in the dark about the situation with PotS, rest assured this story is not dead. Allow me to try and explain why I have been out of it for so long lately.
If I had known 3 months ago if I had know what was going to happen in my life, I would have let you know a lot sooner. I came down with an incredible serious condition (not wanting to talk, but willing to say if people wish to PM me) but let's just say that it required immediate medical attention, surgery medical attention. When I finally came out of hospital, University started up again and I had to prioritize study over the story. Finally when things started to calm down, I got a chest infection, so more medicine for me... yay... (Please note, the three chapters of my new story, Sins of the father, were mostly written by Rocinante, and to be fair, with my health problems, it was a miracle that I got those out)
However now, I have a clean bill of health, on top of uni study and ready to get back at the story. Let me just say I am so sorry about this, I should have spoken about this sooner but never could find the right words to say. But now, no more excuses, more frequent updates and more love for the story that made my writing career here on Fimfiction
Thank you for your patience and once again, I am so sorry
Kindest Regards
Tornado Blitz
